Читать книгу Blues Guitar For Dummies - Jon Chappell - Страница 20

Gradually, the different preferences of electric jazz and blues players started to diverge, with jazz players preferring the deeper hollowbody guitars and blues players choosing the thinner-bodied hollow guitars and the semi-hollowbody guitars. (The all-solid-wood guitar, or solidbody, hadn’t been invented yet.) Many people consider the semi-hollowbody guitar, such as the Gibson ES-335, to be the ideal type of blues guitar. Driving this choice was the fact that the thinner guitars didn’t feed back (produce unwanted, ringing tones through the amp) as much as the deeper-bodied guitars, and because blues players generally like to play louder than jazz players, feedback was more of a concern.

The Gibson ES-335 makes my list of one of the greatest guitars for playing the blues. See Chapter 18 for more of the best guitars on the market.
