Class Details
This course will trace the history of the guitar, both acoustic and electric, in American culture. We will examine how the guitar developed in conjunction with the history of American music as well as the music we imported from other cultures. The required readings and videos used in class will place the guitar in the social and cultural contexts of various periods in American history and how guitars have changed with the development of sonic technology. In addition, we will visit a local luthier to observe the process of how guitars are built.
