History Of The Slide Guitar - There are many theories as to the origin of the slide guitar. W.C. Handy famously recalled hearing an unknown musician using a knife on the strings of his guitar. But this unknown bluesman had scarcely invented the style. For centuries musicians around the world have created sounds by dragging objects across stringed instruments. One example is the West African musical bow. This is a one-stringed instrument attached to a gourd resonator, and held against the body, while the player plucks the string and uses a bone or metal to vary the pitch.

B.B. King is almost certainly the single most important electric blues guitarist of the last half century. His style, full of vibrato and melodic invention, has been so influential that it is hard to conceive of a contemporary blues guitar solo that doesn't feature at least a couple of recognizable King-derived phrases. If B.B. King represented an increasing sophistication in blues playing, his contemporary John Lee Hooker kept alive its anarchic primitive roots. Hooker's signature tracks, like 'Boogie Chillen', are one-chord boogies in which the guitar is turned all the way up and used to project rhythm and menace.

Today, when we think of the blues we immediately think of the guitar. It was not always so, however. Back in the 1920's, when the first records with the word 'blues' in the title were being made, more often than not they'd be piano-led recordings, close in style to the jazz and gospel recordings of the same period. if you listen, for instance, to the recordings of the enduring icon of 1920's blues, Bessie Smith, you'll be searching in vain for a guitar part; instead you'll hear sophisticated piano and brass arrangements, played by the likes of Fletcher Henderson and Coleman Hawkins, or even Benny Goodman.

The Les Paul was introduced in 1952. The first Les Paul was equipped with two high-impedance single-coil pickups with cream colored cover plates. It included a three-way pick-up selector switch with separate volume and tone controls.
