One of the most versatile and popular guitars in modern music. If you are in a funk band, a rock band, jazz band, pop group, blues band, or even a Bolivian Oompah band, then this guitar will do the job very nicely indeed!
These guitars are semi acoustic. Most of these guitars are heavy, with a solid block of wood through the middle of the guitar for sustain and to counter act feedback. Some of the earlier models didn't have this slab of wood inside, were very light and thus had feedback issues, when playing with overdrive.
I have used mine for many different projects and there isn't much it couldn't do! It's even been on a Radio 1 Live Lounge back in March 2008!
The picture below is me playing mine at Nozstock a few years back. Many thanks to BBC Introducing Hereford and Worcester for having me. And to Andy O Hare for the photo.
Learning guitar chords, practicing scales, or playing songs can be more accessible with online tools. A VirtualGuitar provides an interactive platform to explore these, often with chord diagrams and playable strings, no downloads needed to start strumming.
