History of the Electric Guitar

From Expo Sevilla 1991 and claiming flamenco guitarists as the first guitar heroes.

Nice idea.

Here is Charlie Christian's and les Paul's hero Django. On electric here for a change.

More sophistication in this throwaway cut than all the white man blues of the seventies, in my opinion.

RE: History of the Electric Guitar (in reply to Escribano)

The first guitar was invented by a black man, RF Flemming, in 1886. He was a Moor, as African Americans are direct descendants of the Moors who conquered Spain and civilized the neanderthal white people (pulling them out of caves and teaching them concepts like reading and math and hygiene). I learned this on the internet.
