The modern dreadnought style guitar fought this problem by strengthening and enlarging the body to use steel strings on it that increased the volume. Resonators were a step forward in this, rather than using the vibrating top to make the sound, they used resonator combs built into the body. And of course, the next step was electric guitar. The rest you probably allready know...]]> Guitar Players Discussion Metaellihead https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78254 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78248 Sat, 04 Dec 2004 03:20:53 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion E.Sherman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78248 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78247 Sat, 04 Dec 2004 03:20:30 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion MinorKey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78247 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78246 Sat, 04 Dec 2004 03:16:49 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78246 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78244 Sat, 04 Dec 2004 03:07:39 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion MinorKey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78244 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78242 Sat, 04 Dec 2004 03:00:07 +0000
Resonator guitars were invented by two brothers, John and Rudy Dopyera, in the 1920s. They started a company - DOBRO (from DOpyera BROthers), that's still making them today.]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-78242 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-5321 Sat, 04 Dec 2004 02:38:49 +0000 I was wondering how the slide guitar thing came about, by accident or was it taken from someone hearing hawaian guitar music for example.
Also where did the resonator come from? I'm presuming thats a recording thing, to get more volume??]]> Guitar Players Discussion MinorKey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/who-invented-slide-guitar/#post-5321
