Cause And Effect, How The Rickenbacker Guitar Changed The History Of Music

The Rickenbacker Guitar is why we now have rock and roll music

. Without this immigrant from Switzerland rock and roll stars like John Lennon and the Beatles may never have been noticed. The story began with Rickenbacker coming to this country in and working with a man who performed on the vaudeville stage.

The end result was the first ever electric guitar. The evolution of this instrument really expanded during the popularity of rock and roll music. The first instrument was invented in the mid 1920's. There were of course a lot of changes to the guitar by the time rock and roll took over.

This was the model guitar that such rock and roll stars like John Lennon used. He used this guitar when the Beatles made their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Today this guitar is the rock and roll standard. When the instrument was invented it was referred to as a pancake or frying pan because of its flat design.

The first use of the electric guitar was those who played Hawaiian music. This music at the time was very popular and the electric sound blended in with that type of musical tempo. But soon guitar players from all types of musical background became interested in the instrument.

The musicians discovered that they were no longer background music makers but instead their sound was at the forefront of the band. We now hear the guitar as the main sound in the music we hear. But this was not the case before the electric guitar.

The guitar is now at center stage. This is because two men decided to make the guitar more of a presence in the orchestra. But what they created was a revolution in the way we listen to music. If it were not for Adolph Rickenbacker we may never have heard of the type of music known as rock and roll. After so many years it is still the standard in the industry.
