Development of The Electric Guitar

There are also things that are eccentric in the development of the seven-string guitar as popularized by Steve Vai in 1989. The idea came when he joined David Lee Roth Band in 1985, the album Crazy from the Heat. He decided that because the bassist, Billy Sheehan, often setting the bass with another formation called Drop D tuning (from top to bottom: DADG, generally EADG). In cooperation with Ibanez in 1987, finally born the seven-stringed guitar first, with the top string, alias seventh, pitched B. This guitar is called The Universe-7 String. Vai also has a guitar with a neck opposite (facing to the left and right), to prove his ability to play left-handed, ancestry.

Meanwhile, Eddie Van Halen, a pioneer in the use of the whammy bar up-down which became known as the Floyd Rose tremolo / bridge. These innovations complete with locking nut strings on the guitar. This system is known as a locking nut tremolo system.



Eddie developed a tremolo system that already exists. Namely tremolo that can only be pressed down or down (resulting in a lower tone). The old system was developed by the Fender factory and installed as standard equipment on the model Stratocaster. These innovations occurred to him in about 1976. At that time the great guitarists such as Ritchie Blackmore and Jimmy Page often have problems in tuning their guitars. Because they are often mem-bending strings too much to produce a sound that is 1½ higher tones. As a result, the strings become loose and must also be off-key tone. With a locking nut tremolo system, stringed guitar nut locked in part so as not to shift the suspense.
