The Les Paul by Gibson

By Jornando French

The Fender Telecaster was introduced to the market in 1950. Soon there was a surge in the guitar music world. Subsequent to this introduction, the Gibson Les Paul made its debut. Gibson was then and is still a leading musical instrument manufacturer. Les Paul was one of the most respected guitarists at the time. Les Paul was known for his innovation in musical instruments and because of this the president of Gibson Company, Ted McCarthy, recruited Les Paul to be a consultant for Gibson.

Les Paul first made a solid body guitar prototype called the The Log. Les Paul had already talked to Gibson in 1945 with this guitar prototype but the idea was not accepted. Then in 1951, Les Paul and Gibson began working together and Les Pauls innovative idea created a shock wave in the music industry. The line of Gibson hollow-body electric guitars inspired new ideas to create the Gibson Les Paul--a kind of hard body and hollow body combination. It differed greatly from Fender because the Fender was a solid body and Gibson Les Paul sported a more curved body and a glued-in neck.

The role of Les Paul and Gibson was not without any controversy. One issue was that the president of Gibson Corporation approached Les Paul and asked him for permission to print his name on the headstock of the guitar. He hoped this would increase the sales of the Gibson Les Paul. It was also claimed by McCarthy that they only had discussions with Les Paul regarding the tailpiece and fitting of a maple cap over the mahogany body for increased density and sustain. Les Paul also wanted the new model to have a gold finish but the Gibson gave flame and tiger maple finishes for it to compete with the Fender.

The original Les Paul guitar had two models-- the regular model, later nicknamed the Goldtop and the other was the custom model with upgraded hardware in a black finish. There was a constant improvement seen in the electric pickups, body and hardware patterns which was very pleasing to guitarists. The humbucking pickup completely eliminated the 60-cycle humming that previously inundated the amplified guitars.

Gibson Les Paul has evolved through the years. The Gibson Les Paul models are Goldtop (1952-1957), Custom (1954-1960), Gibson Les Paul Junior (1954-1960), Gibson Les Paul TV (1955-1960), Gibson Les Paul Special (1955-1960), Gibson Les Paul Standard (1958-1960), Gibson Les Paul SG 1961, Gibson Les Paul Deluxe 1968, Gibson Les Paul Studio 1983, as well as the modern Gibson Les Paul guitars. In the 1960s, prominent rock guitarists began using the Les Paul and this really solidified the reputation of quality and ease of play. This is why the Gibson Les Paul is so popular today with upcoming and established guitarists. - 18423

Download A Fantastic Travolta Film Tonight

By Cheryl F Murphy

One of the most beloved actors of our time started out as a "sweathog". John Travolta's initial memorable role that launched him into the consciousness of America was playing "Vinnie Barbarino" on "Welcome Back, Kotter" from 1975 to 1979. Since that time he has become one of the most superb actors of our time.

In one of his original film roles, John Travolta played a young disco dancer named Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever. This was in 1977, the height of the disco era. In the story, Tony meets another dancer named Stephanie and they practice together to participate in a dance competition.

Travolta was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor in a leading role for the character of Tony Manero but lost the award to Richard Dreyfuss, who won for "The Goodbye Girl".

Shortly after that, in 1980, Travolta acted along Debra Winger in one of the biggest hits of that time, "Urban Cowboy". He played the part of Buford "Bud" Uan Davis, a cowboy from a small town who goes to the city and learns about love and life at a bar in Houston that is owned by the legendary singer, Mickey Gilley.

He falls in love with "Sissy" (Debra Winger) and he attempts to win a contest for riding a mechanical bull at Gilleys. Mechanical bulls could be found at many clubs around the country for a while after "Urban Cowboy". This movie and role was a great hit but it took many years and a few botched box office films before we saw much of John Travolta again.

But in 1994, he caught the eye of the movie-going American public again by starring as Vincent Vega, a mob hitman, in the best-selling film "Pulp Fiction". Quentin Tarantino directed this film and it also starred Samuel L. Jackson, Ving Rhames and Uma Thurman. This movie was a enormous box office success and it also had critical acclaim.

John Travolta was for a second time nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in a leading role for Pulp Fiction, however again he lost out, this time to Tom Hanks for "Forrest Gump".

There have been a lot of other magnificent motion pictures starring John Travolta, including the sentimental favorites from 1996, "Michael" and "Phenomenon" and many others. You can download your choice tonight right at your own computer and with just the touch of a button you can be watching John Travolta in the coziness of your own house. - 18423

How To Build Patterns For Lead Guitar Improvisations

By William Jones

A couple of strategies are there to figure out various patterns:

1. Start on the E string on any note of the musical scale. Keep this fret in your mind . Move up that string playing notes from the scale until the next note would be more than 4 frets from home position (count the home position as fret 1), and place that next note on a higher string. Continue it until you go out of strings.

With this approach you can get standard scale boxes - boxes are great because they help you to hold your hand in the same position throughout the scale.

2. Start on the E string on any note of the scale. For each string, add notes until you have played precisely 3 notes on that string and after that change strings.

You can find 3 notes per string scales with the help of this approach - this is great because they have an even number of notes on each string which actually helps with speed runs.

You can acquire 2 note per string scales by shifting the number from 3 to 2 or 4, or even 4 notes per string scales (practicable, but very challenging to play, a favorite of Alan Holdsworth I believe). 2 notes per string are especially suitable for pentatonic.

3. Whole neck approach - in this approach we play whole number of scales by moving up 1 string and handle each string in isolation. Understand that there will be great overlap between strings, and figure out all the feasible ways of playing an individual note or run on all strings (very difficult to do in practice but this is how actually top notch performers find out things)

That's all what the patterns actually are - and as far as a point of terminology is concerned, I would call boxes a special case of patterns that are constructed by applying rule 1, patterns is a more general term that refers to all possible ways to map a scale to the guitar neck. - 18423
