Empirical Explorations of Guitar Players Attitudes Towards Their Equipment and the Role of Distortion in Rock Music

Popis
Shrnutí:Musical instruments are closely connected with genres and subgenres (Théberge 1997, 198), and some equipment is better suited for a particular genre than other gear (Jones 1992, 83). [...]musicians have modified instruments to their needs, as for example Edward Van Halen who famously altered his Marshall amplifier for higher distortion levels (Walser 1993, 43-44) and who built his 'Frankenstrat' in an attempt to combine the sounds and playing feels of two seminal guitar models, Gibson's Les Paul and Fender's Stratocaster (Obrecht 1978). [...]instruments and their individual sounds are of central importance for studying musical, cultural, and sociological aspects of rock music (Waksman 2003a). [...]the focus shifted from musicians to producers (Zak 2001; Moorefield 2010). Besides technological and production-related issues, popular music research has studied the electric guitar with regards to cultural identity and ethnicity (Waksman 1999), communication (Gracyk 1996), gender (Frith and McRobbie 1990; Walser 1993; Waksman 1999; Bourdage 2010), and fetishism (Uimonen 2016). [...]renowned players from other countries were also contacted.
