Rules: tag 9 people you’d like to know better/catch up with.

Last Song: “You Take My Breath Away” (Live at Hyde Park 1976) - Queen

Last Movie: Casino (1995), I love mafia movies, guys. Casino is one of my top favorites. Just under Goodfellas (1990). 12/10 would recommend if you haven’t seen it. 

There is a fair amount of blood, violence, sexual content, and drug use though, so… Trigger warning?

Hollow Body vs. Solid Body Guitars- Perks and Downfalls.

Before we get into our discussion of modern instruments I think it is important to learn about some basic guitar facts. First off today (as you can see in the title) we will be discussing the difference between a hollow body and solid body guitar. A hollow body, the older of the two, is a guitar which, you guessed it, has a hollowed body. These guitars can be played like an acoustic instrument or, if they have pickups, can be plugged in. The effect of this is a bassy, warm, acoustic tone. Many players in the 40s, 50, and up until today tend to be drawn towards these jazzy tones. The downside to a hollow body guitar is the sonic feedback. With a resonant body cavity, high volumes can cause a loud feedback loop which is extremely unpleasant to the ears. The way the issue of feedback was fixed is through the solid body guitar. These guitars are made of a solid slab or pieces of wood with no resonant space. This means you can crank the volume up much louder than a hollow body guitar. The downside to some about this is that the tone of the guitar feels more sharp and intense. Most of my posts on here will follow the change from hollow to solid body (unless otherwise requested)

A quick hello

Greetings everyone,

My name is Jackson, I am 16 years old and this is the beginning of my guitar blog. I am still thinking of what to call it so please bear with me. On here I will be talking about guitars and their development through history. I will also be here to answer any questions you all in the comments have about guitar history, what guitars to purchase, vintage guitars, and really anything else guitar related. I am excited to share my knowledge with you all on here. 

Thank you for taking the time to read,

Jackson 

P.S. thank you to @waywardpudding for getting me to sign up. You all should go give her a follow if you are a fan of the show supernatural.
