Breakthrough Dielectric-Bias System

Chris Martens loves the sound of AudioQuest Jaguar Interconnect Cables with Dielectric-Bias System (DBS). "The round, percussive tone of Pat Metheny's guitar and the gentle slap of Ignacio Berroa's bongos sounded so eerily holographic that I almost felt as if I could get up, walk across the listening room, and touch the instruments," he writes in AVguide Monthly.

Batteries on an interconnect? AudioQuest introduces an astonishingly simple solution to a universally acknowledged problem.

The effect of dielectric (or insulation) on cable performance is universally acknowledged. No insulation, other than a vacuum, is perfect. All insulation conducts some tiny degree of electricity in the presence of an electrical field, and this effect can cause distortion and signal loss.

An electric guitar relies on an amplifier that helps to manipulate the tone of the instrument electronically. An electric guitar uses what you call pickups to change the vibration of the strings into an electrical current, which is then amplified. The electrical signal that emits from the guitar may be altered electronically before it passes into the amplifier. This makes the final sound. Some electric guitars have the ability to sound like an acoustic guitar with the flip of a switch.

The majority of electric guitars have bodies that are solid and do not have a sound hole. Electric guitars instead have "pickups". Pick-ups are basically small microphones that capture the sound of the strings and then the sound is amplified.

The electric guitar was initially used in jazz music and is now used in many other genres of music such as rock and roll, blues, country, new-age and modern classical music. Some hybrids of electric and acoustic guitars are currently available. There are some very exotic guitars available as well. There are guitars with two three or even four necks.

In summary, to learn to play an electric guitar is not different from playing an acoustic guitar. If you can play an acoustic guitar, you can play an electric guitar. The advantage of the electric guitar is that you don't have to press on the fret as strong as the acoustic guitar to get a clear sound; therefore, normally for a beginner is easier to learn to play an electric guitar than the acoustic one. Although the cost of an electric guitar is much higher than an ordinary acoustic guitar, because I addition to the cost of the guitar itself, you need additional equipment like amplifiers and electric accessories.

Learn To Play Electric Guitar

The invention of the electric guitar has influenced much of the music of the twentieth century and popular culture. Due to all the possibilities to get special sounds and due to the fact that is easier to learn to play an electric guitar that an acoustic one, the electric guitar has become one of the most popular musical instruments nowadays not only for aficionados but for professionals as well.

The bodies of most electric guitars are typically made of wood. It is rare to find a piece of hardwood that is wide enough to create the entire guitar so it is hard to find a guitar made of one piece of wood. Most guitars are created with two pieces of wood and have a seam going down the center of the body. Maple, ash, mahogany, basswood, alder, and poplar wood are commonly used to create the body of an electric guitar. Many guitar bodies consist of cheap wood such as ash glued on top of a wood such as maple. Guitars that are made in this way are called "flame tops". Some electric guitars are made of such materials as carbon composites, aluminum alloys, or a plastic material such as poly carbonate.

Come Away With Me

That very night I had a gig. Yikes! Brave? I didn't even think about the implications at that time ... I was so excited about my "new" bass. The worst thing that happened was that I occasionally played fifths instead of chord roots. Of course I was used to using the E-string as my visual reference. Which 4-string player is not!

It was around 1988 that I became interested in playing 5-string. Although the concept had been adopted well over a hundred years ago for double bass, it was quite new for bass guitar. Being a formally trained classical double bass player, I was already familiar with the 5-string concept in its various guises, and had played several 5-string upright basses on occasion.

One of my face-to-face students recently asked my about converting his 5-string bass to a 4-string. This "backward" conversion brought back memories of my first 5-string bass.

The student I mentioned above has not done his "backward" conversion yet.

This new consciousness has helped me enormously in my confidence of playing any stringed instrument (except when I am playing completely by ear) and definitely helped my learning of the 6-string bass (which is another story where further learning elements were introduced).

George has performed with artists ranging from Rolf Harris through to Judith Durham, Beccy Cole, Marina Prior, George Washingmachine, Thelma Housten and the New York production of Porgy and Bess. His former students include Brendan Clarke (winner of the Australian National Jazz Award), Kim Khahn (Robbie Williams, Mel C, Natalie Imbruglia) and Rory Quirk (John Butler Trio).

Besides being an innovative and highly respected music educator, George Urbaszek plays double bass, guitar, bass guitar and bassitar. He has over 3000 performances and 120 recording sessions to his credit and has toured Australia, Central Europe, Canada, USA and the Pacific Islands.

Because no music stores in my area had 5-string bass guitars at that time, I decided to convert my one-and-only bass guitar myself. I bought a bridge, a tuning peg, a B-string and a blank nut, drilled a hole in the headstock, filed the nut grooves, and did the conversion in one afternoon. Brave? I don't know. I just had to find out.
