Abstract:
The primary objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive quantitative analysis to investigate the factors influencing the purchase of electric guitars. Building upon prior research related to the decision-making process behind electric guitar purchases, our research took a quantitative approach to shed light on this intricate process. We designed and tested six hypotheses, utilizing structural equation modeling to analyze a dataset consisting of 433 responses collected within the electric guitar community. The results of our study have uncovered intriguing insights into the factors that drive purchase intention among electric guitar enthusiasts. Notably, two out of the six variables examined, namely ‘Brand’ and ‘Heritage Value,’ were found to exert a significant impact on consumers’ intentions to purchase electric guitars. This discovery carries profound implications for the industry. It is worth highlighting that electric guitars possess inherent features that can enhance a player’s skill and convenience through cutting-edge digital technology. However, our findings reveal that players place a higher emphasis on the perceived heritage value and brand identity of electric guitars, which take precedence over their functional attributes when making guitar selection decisions. This preference for cultural and emotional aspects over utilitarian features is a significant revelation. In light of the current state of the electric guitar industry, which is experiencing a decline, our research suggests that emphasizing and promoting the heritage and brand values of electric guitars could prove instrumental in retaining existing customers and attracting new ones. This strategic shift could serve to revitalize the industry and counter the challenges posed by advancements in technology. In summary, our study reaffirms the importance of cultural and emotional elements in consumers’ decisions regarding electric guitar purchases, underscoring the need for industry players to adapt and focus on these aspects to remain competitive in a changing market landscape.

Abstract:
Banyak gitaris yang memainkan gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik secara beriringan. Namun banyak dari mereka yang merasakan bahwa kedua teknik permainan gitar tersebut agak bertolak belakang dan saling mempengaruhi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjembatani antara teknik permainan gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan studi kasus, kajian pustaka dan karya dengan memanfaatkan jurnal online, buku serta partitur karya. Hasilnya adalah teknik permainan gitar klasik dan elektrik yang agak bertolak belakang tersebut dapat diatasi salah satunya dengan cara memainkan etude. Etude tersebut terdiri dari teknik-teknik permainan yang khas terdapat pada gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik. Selain itu teknik-teknik permainan yang khas tersebut dapat dikombinasikan sehingga menghasilkan teknik hybrid antara gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik. Dengan tujuan, gitaris klasik dan gitaris elektrik yang memainkan kedua gitar tersebut secara beriringan akan mengetahui teknik-teknik permainan yang khas terdapat pada gitar klasik dan gitar elektrik. Serta mengaplikasikan teknik hybrid tersebut kedalam permainan gitarnya, sehingga gitaris bisa melatih kedua teknik permainan gitar tersebut secara bersamaan, tanpa meninggalkan salah satunya.Many guitarists play classical guitar and electric guitar simultaneously. But many of them feel that the two guitar playing techniques are somewhat contradictory and influence each other. The purpose of this study is to bridge the technique between classical guitar and electric guitar. The methodology used in this research is a case study approach, literature review and works by utilizing online journals, books and scores of works. The result is that the classical and electric guitar playing techniques are somewhat contradictory, one of which can be overcome by playing etude. Etude consists of techniques that are typical of the game found on the classical guitar and electric guitar. In addition, these typical playing techniques can be combined to produce a hybrid technique between a classical guitar and an electric guitar. With the aim, the classical guitarist and the electric guitarist who play both guitars together will know the game techniques that are typical found on the classical guitar and the electric guitar. As well as applying these hybrid techniques into his guitar playing, so the guitarist can practice both guitar playing techniques simultaneously, without leaving one of them.

Abstract:
Wireless is a wireless network technology that can be used for voice and data communications. The need for a wireless network system makes the need for technology grow very rapidly starting from communication and data transmission media, one of the technological developments in data transmission media. One of them is in the field of music. Most of the musical instruments such as microphones, bass guitars, acoustic guitars, and electric guitars already use wireless. This can facilitate the movement of these musical players while playing their musical instruments on stage. Therefore, a wireless device for guitar effects is designed that is directly connected to a guitar instrument. This system itself aims to facilitate the movement of guitar players on stage and can also activate guitar effects without the need to step on the guitar pedals at their feet.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Many endangered tropical hardwoods are commonly used in electric guitars. In order to find alternative woods, the current electric guitar woods need to be studied and classified as most research in this field has focused on acoustic instruments. Classification was done based on luthier literature, woods used in commercially available electric guitars, commercially available tonewoods and by interviewing Finnish luthiers. Here, the electric guitar woods are divided into three distinct classes based on how they are used in the guitar: low-density wood used in the body only (alder, poplar, basswood, ash), medium-density wood used in the body and neck (maple and mahogany), and high-density wood used in the fretboard only (rosewood and ebony). Together, these three classes span a wide range of anatomical and mechanical properties, but each class itself is limited to a relatively narrow parameter space. Statistically significant differences between these classes and the average hardwoods exist in the wood anatomy (size and organization of vessels, fibres, rays and axial parenchyma), in the mechanical properties (density, elastic modulus, Janka hardness, etc.) and in the average price per volume. In order to find substitute woods for a certain guitar wood class, density and elastic modulus can already be used to rule out most wood species. Based on principal component analysis of the elastomechanical and anatomical properties of commercially available hardwoods, few species are similar to the low- and high-density class woods. However, for all of the three electric guitar wood classes, non-endangered wood species are already commercially available from tonewood retailers that match the class characteristics presented here.

Abstract:
AbstractConsiderable research has been made into the harmonic properties and playability of woodwind multiphonics, while the utility of string multiphonics has received far less attention. In recent years, however, there has been an increasing amount of interest in the topic, and several publications have been devoted to acoustic guitar multiphonics. Primarily written for non-guitarist composers, these studies range from the scientific to the practical. Variously, they describe the sonic qualities of the multiphonics, discuss methods of performing them, or examine their spectral content and morphology. Until now, published research into guitar multiphonics has been limited to the acoustic guitar and has examined only its three lower strings. In this study, we analyse multiphonics on all six strings of the electric guitar and present a catalogue of harmonic aggregates on strings 3–1. We test these multiphonics on five different guitars and examine their response to three commonly used analogue effect pedals (compression, overdrive and distortion). In order to precisely indicate the spectral components and harmonic nodes, we have used the Extended Helmholtz-Ellis JI Pitch Notation (HEJI).

Abstract:
A beautiful tone can not only make the electric guitar present a better performance effect, but also enable the player to immerse himself in the performance atmosphere and convey his performance demands to the audience. However, the factors affecting electric guitar tone include multiple individuals in both software and hardware, such as pickups, string lengths, circuits, paints, and musician's musical aesthetic ability, so it is necessary to apply tone processing methods according to the basic tone requirements, apply differentiated tone processing techniques based on the construction of electric guitars, regulate the tone in steps in accordance with the basic process, and continuously improve the musician's artistic comprehensive literacy.

AbstractThis paper presents a conceptual and computational framework to support experts in the design and manufacturing of high quality products. The framework is based on the development of specific knowledge artifacts characterized by tools for the management of functional, procedural, and experiential knowledge. As a case study, the GUITAR HERO project is presented. The project aims at building a knowledge-based system to support experts of a handicraft enterprise involved in the design and manufacturing of electric guitars characterized by an aluminum body. The domain of the project is extremely innovative, because electric guitars are typically manufactured with different kinds of wood rather than metals or other materials. To this aim, an ontological representation of the electric guitar has been implemented exploiting NavEditOW, a computational framework for the codification, navigation, and querying of ontologies over the Internet, based on the OWL language.

Abstract:
Research on rock harmony accords with common practice in guitar playing in that power chords (fifth interval) with an indeterminate chord quality as well as major chords are preferred to more complex chords when played with a distorted tone. This study explored the interrelated effects of distortion and harmonic structure on acoustic features and perceived pleasantness of electric guitar chords. Extracting psychoacoustic parameters from guitar tones with Music Information Retrieval technology revealed that the level of distortion and the complexity of interval relations affects sensorial pleasantness. A listening test demonstrated power and major chords being perceived as significantly more pleasant than minor and altered dominant chords when being played with an overdriven or distorted guitar tone. This result accords with musical practice within rock genres. Rather clean rock styles such as blues or classic rock use major chords frequently, whereas subgenres with more distorted guitars such as heavy metal largely prefer power chords. Considering individual differences, electric guitar players rated overdriven and distorted chords as significantly more pleasant. Results were ambiguous in terms of gender but indicated that women perceive distorted guitar tones as less pleasant than men. Rock music listeners were more tolerant of sensorial unpleasant sounds.

Abstract:
We have successfully developed an acoustic guitar (Figure 1) composed of graphite. Trademarked the RainSong® graphite guitar, this instrument uses no endangered tropical tonewoods. The instrument's sound quality is equal to that of a fine wooden guitar. At high frequencies, the clarity, sustain, and play-ability surpasses that of wooden guitars. Because of its construction, the instrument is sturdy and is impervious to humidity, heat, and water.The development of this guitar required analysis of the theory of anisotropic sound propagation in the guitar soundboard and body, and resulted in two patents. We designed prototype guitars in collaboration with Pimentel & Sons, Guitar Makers, and used combinations of unidirectional and woven graphite and aramid fibers in an epoxy-resin matrix.The goal of our project was to accurately duplicate—panel by panel—the acoustic properties of a fine wooden guitar. We had the resulting acoustic modes and frequencies verified in the laboratory. We then developed and constructed open-mold and resin-transfer molding tooling for a family of classical, steel-string acoustic and hollow-body electric guitars, which are now in commercial production.Possibly the first all-composite acoustic guitar, the RainSong® represents a fundamental change in stringed-instrument construction, perhaps the first since the 17th Century Italian masters.The RainSong® technology allows musicians to skirt the effects of climate and transport damage on their instruments. The instrument contains essentially no wood, and hence negates environmental concerns about rapid depletion of the virgin-forest woods, from which stringed instruments have traditionally been made.

Abstract:
Among the various risk factors for prostate cancer, the electromagnetic field (EMF) by which the electric guitar produces sound may pose a risk for electric guitar players. In addition, the acoustic features of the electric guitar may partly contribute to the underlying cause of prostate cancer among the guitarists. With the guitar held near the pelvic region of the guitarists, one may postulate that induction or progression of prostate cancer may occur by the potential carcinogenetic effects of both the EMF and loud noise from the electric guitar.

Abstract:
In modern pop music, electric guitars are played in many different genres. When playing an electric guitar, use the pick to hit the strings of the guitar. The pick varies depending on the material, thickness, and shape, and it often has a great influence on other sound changes depending on the material and thickness of the pick. Nevertheless, there are no guidelines for pick selection in Korea according to the material of the pick. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the frequency of how the electric guitar sound changes depending on the material of the pick and to present the criteria for the selection of the pick. The research method analyzed graph changes through PAZ Analyzer after the same performer played using four types of picks in the same environment. As a result of the analysis, Ultem emphasized the middle range, and the sound sounded solid. Derlin had a flat middle range. Celluloid material showed a sound that emphasized the middle of Ultem and Derlin, and Nylon showed a high-pitched range.

Abstract:
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to describe self-reported problems among guitarists and to examine differences associated with type of guitar played. Data for the study were extracted from the University of North Texas Musician Health Survey (UNT-MHS) data set. Subjects for the present study (n = 520) were included if they identified acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass or banjo as their primary instrument. Prevalences for musculoskeletal problems were determined for the total group, by guitar-specific groups, and by gender. Prevalences for nonmusculoskeletal, overall health problems were established for the whole guitar group and by instrument. Of the total subjects, 81% reported one or more musculoskeletal problems. The acoustic guitar group reported the highest prevalence (83%), followed by the banjo (78%), electric bass (77%), and electric guitar groups (74%). The highest site-specific prevalences for the whole group were the left fingers (32.9%), left wrist (29.8%), and left hand (24.7%). Regarding nonmusculoskeletal problems, 66% of the total group perceived stress due to work environment as a moderate to high problem. The total group reported mostly problems with fatigue, depression, headache, and eye strain. The overall findings of the study show that musculoskeletal problems as well as stress-related health problems are a major concern for the guitar community.

Abstract:
Guitar technology underwent significant changes in the 20th century in the move from acoustic to electric instruments. In the first part of the 21st century, the guitar continues to develop through its interaction with digital technologies. Such changes in guitar technology are usually grounded in what we might call the “cultural identity” of the instrument: that is, the various ways that the guitar is used to enact, influence and challenge sociocultural and musical discourses. Often, these different uses of the guitar can be seen to reflect a conflict between the changing concepts of “noise” and “musical sound.”

As an important form of modern fusion music performance, electric guitar improvisation is widely praised and welcomed for its unique performance style. The main points and difficulties of its performance lie in tone switching, speed playing skills, and grasping the title, mood, and style of the music. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate the conventional techniques of string sweeping, pizzicato, and dotted strings with improvisation, applying differentiated rhythmic rhythms, timbre modulation, and special playing techniques to deepen the distinctive art-rock music characteristics.

Abstract:
AbstractThe electric guitar is one of the most iconic musical instruments of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and, due to its ubiquitous use in much rock and popular music, it has developed a strong cultural identity. In recent years, as the electric guitar has become increasingly common in contemporary concert music, its cultural associations have inevitably shaped how composers, performers and listeners understand music performed on the instrument. This article investigates various issues relating to the electric guitar's cultural identity in the context of Tristan Murail's Vampyr! (1984), in the hope of demonstrating perspectives that will be useful in considering new music for the electric guitar more generally. The article draws both on established analytical approaches to Murail's spectral oeuvre and on concepts from popular music and cultural studies, in order to analyse the influence that the electric guitar's associations from popular culture have in new music.

Abstract:
Research show that the vibrations of the strings and the radiated sound of the solid body electric guitar depend on the vibrational behavior of its structure in addition to the extended electronic chain. In this regard, most studies focused on the vibro-mechanical properties of the neck of the electric guitar and neglected the coupling of the vibrating strings with the neck and the solid body of the instrument. Therefore, the aim of the study was to understand how the material properties of the solid body could affect the stiffness and vibration damping of the whole instrument when comparing ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) and walnut (Juglans regia L.) wood. In the electric guitar with identical components, higher modal frequencies were confirmed in the structure of the instrument when the solid body was made of the stiffer ash wood. The use of ash wood for the solid body of the instrument due to coupling effect resulted in a beneficial reduction in the vibration damping of the neck of the guitar. The positive effect of the low damping of the solid body of the electric guitar made of ash wood was also confirmed in the vibration of the open strings. In the specific case of free-free vibration mode, the decay time was longer for higher harmonics of the E2, A2 and D3 strings.

Many electric guitarists have earned their reputation as expert performers and connoisseurs, despite the absence, at least until very recently, of school-based curricula or internationally recognised examination bodies, and usually without any institution to validate their credentials. Despite recent initiatives to support new pedagogical paradigms in teaching and learning, teachers of the electric guitar continue to be confronted with problems of preparing learners for soundscapes beyond a gig setting or one of the recent electric guitar examinations. Instrumental fluency cannot be understood merely as a function of mechanical achievement (that is, musical and instrumental techniques), but as a function of human capacity as “instrumentality”: how “human beings have puzzled over […] something they acquire without knowing how, that they possess but which something possesses them even more, that is not a part of them but without which they would not be what they are” (Sigaut 2002: 421). This paper is based on a case-study with an undergraduate music education trainee teacher at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University who undertook lessons with a music faculty member in the electric guitar as part of his music ensemble activities. The findings from this interaction explore an electric guitar practitioner’s technology in four ways: first as a musical and instrumental technique which has been consolidated in the global practice of electric guitarists; second as a way of devising strategies to study electric guitar within its own unique glocal soundscape; third, as a way of encouraging learners across social and cultural contexts to find their own voice through the instrument; and fourth, through these means, to come to terms with the difference and distance between the practitioner-as-learner, and the learner-as-future-classroom teacher/practitioner.

Abstract:
To attain a direct MIDI output from an electric guitar, we devised and implemented a sophisticated laser sensor system capable of measuring finger positions. This sensor operates on the principle of optical triangulation, employing six lasers and seven position-sensing detectors that are time-multiplexed. The speed and precision of this sensor system meet the necessary criteria for creating an electric guitar with a direct digital output, perfectly satisfying the application’s requirements.

Abstract:
It is believed that the human ear is very sensitive to subtle changes in sounds. In the context of a guitar, the myriad of sounds produced by the strings depends majorly on the plucking technique of the player, but it is hypothesized that the sound produced by a string is also influenced, to some degree, by the thickness of the plectrum used for playing. This has led many to speculate whether bands and artists like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones would have sounded very different if they hadn't used the right guitar plectrum. In this research paper, three plectrums of different thickness have been used to pluck electric guitar strings and the output electric voltage has been documented using the software Visual Analyzer. The observations show that the thickness of a plectrum indeed influences the sound produced by a guitar string to a significant extent

Abstract:
The relevance is determined by the necessity of a comprehensive systematical study of contemporary microtonal music for the academic guitar ensemble and its significance in the works of Agustín Castilla-Ávila. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of microtonality as a special technique of the musical composition in the A. Castilla-Ávila’s works for guitar ensembles. The methodology. In the process of research, the methods of abstraction, analysis and synthesis were applied as well as special musicological methods such as methods of musical analysis: theoretical notation-based analysis, interpretative analysis. The results. Microtonality, which originates from the ancient traditional musical culture, rapidly developed in the music of the XX century as a complexification and alteration of the equal temperament. Since the 1950s, which were marked by a qualitatively new type of guitar performance, there has been a gradual adaptation of the guitar technique to the performance of microtones. The combination of traditionally and microtonally tuned guitars in the ensemble allows the composer to use a wide range of microtonal systems (third, quarter tones and various edos — equal division of the octave). Agustín Castilla-Ávila is one of the most prominent guitar composers nowadays. In his works, microtonality appears to be one of the main creative and aesthetic principles. Decided not to modify the traditional classical guitar, Agustín Castilla-Ávila uses: – retuning the strings (microtone scordatura) as the most effective way to get microtones on the guitar. In the works of the early period, the composer often replaces a set of guitar strings with six of the same type in thickness tuned in 36edo; – extended techniques: band, bi-tone, glissando, playing with the slider; – preparations. The whole list of microtonal ensemble works of A. Castilla-Ávila can be classified into three main periods. For early works six same strings and 36edo are typical. The next period is characterized by using of bi-tones and harmonics. In the third period, he combines the material of two previous phases with using of electric guitar. The scientific novelty. The study is within the field of actual research on a classical guitar ensemble and its contemporary repertoire. The practical significance. The materials of this article can be used as a basis for further research of guitar ensemble music. In particular, obtained results can be useful for contemporary music performers.

Abstract:
The electric guitar came to its initial prominence in the 1940s when its volume allowed jazz guitarists like Charlie Christian to step out in front of the rhythm section like other soloists, competing with the brass, wind, and piano. Further changes in the playing and design of the instrument came with exploitation of the interaction of the electric guitar, tube amplifiers, and analog effects as a larger system. Especially in the rock and funk idioms, the playing and construction of the overall instrument evolved and expanded rapidly with the mainstream embrace of digital technology. This talk will consider the evolution of the electric guitar as a system up through today and consider why it seems the instrument has fully evolved and is unlikely to experience further seismic shifts, especially as the overall thrust of music has shifted to digitally-manipulated sound that is often entirely independent of the physical playing of any instrument.

Abstract:
<p><em>Mathematical equations can represent numerous real-world scenarios, a process known as mathematical modelling. Within this paper, we undertake modelling two musical instruments, specifically the electric bass guitar and the acoustic guitar. Our approach uses partial differential equations (PDEs) to represent these instruments accurately. By establishing the initial condition, we derive the final solution and simulate the frequency using parameters obtained from this solution alongside a frequency formula. The PDE for the electric bass guitar is of non-homogeneous second order, while the PDE for the acoustic guitar is of homogeneous fourth order. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that a lower vibration frequency for the electric bass guitar corresponds to a decreased string density, given a fixed tension. Similarly, this correlation holds for the acoustic guitar. With fixed string tension and Young's Modulus, a lower string density leads to a higher frequency and reduced inertia. Additionally, we provide graphical representations of the analytical solutions for both PDEs. </em></p><p><em><br /></em><strong>Bahasa Indonesia Abstract</strong>:</p><p>Persamaan matematika dapat memodelkan banyak situasi dalam dunia nyata. Proses ini disebut pemodelan matematika. Salah satu contoh yang dapat dimodelkan adalah frekuensi alat musik (gitar bass listrik dan gitar akustik). Kedua alat musik tersebut dimodelkan frekuensinya dengan persamaan diferensial parsial (PDP). Solusi akhir akan diperoleh berdasarkan kondisi awal. Simulasi frekuensi dilakukan berdasarkan parameter yang ditemukan dari solusi akhir dan rumus frekuensi. PDP untuk gitar bass listrik adalah orde dua non-homogen, dan PDP untuk gitar akustik adalah orde empat homogen. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa untuk gitar bass dengan tegangan tertentu, senar dengan densitas rendah menghasilkan frekuensi getaran yang lebih rendah. Hasil yang konsisten juga ditunjukkan untuk gitar akustik. Pada tegangan senar dan Modulus Young yang diberikan, senar dengan densitas rendah menghasilkan frekuensi yang lebih tinggi dan inersia yang lebih rendah. Beberapa grafik solusi analitik dari kedua PDP tersebut juga ditampilkan dalam artikel ini.</p>
