Popular music in the 1920s called out for a guitar sound that was more dominant. Early experiments with steel cones or resonators, Hawaiian electric guitars and the first Electric Spanish style 6-string guitar in 1936 made musicians realize that it was possible to produce notes that could be amplified to any desired volume. This gave birth to a new, less restrained style of playing. The guitar became the lead instrument as rock music evolved. This book traces the development of the guitar and the artists who achieved fame with it over seven decades, from Bill Haley to Jimi Hendrix.
