Find A Takamine Acoustic Left Hand And Electric Left Hand Oriented Guitars

By Zane J Freeman

Takamine is the first name thought of when discussing acoustic left handed guitars. As a Japan based guitar manufacturer; its US distribution team is the Kaman Corporation. They are most popular for their signature pre-amp/EQ built into all A/E models. This is also true of their acoustic left handed instruments. It is important to note all Takamine AE models can be specified for left handed artists.

Takamine acoustic electric left handed guitars come in several series, but two are especially noteworthy. The G series contains many models of acoustic guitars, intended for left and right handed players. They generally have solid spruce tops are nato rears and sides, which produce excellent sound. The Takamine electric guitar for left handers is the best you can buy. It hasn't changed its body style unlike its competitors. The flat rear and molded sides give it a timeless appearance, prevent the guitar from falling out of the player's lap, and preserves an acoustic tone prized by players worldwide.

The only difference is that some of these left handed acoustic guitars have cutaways and some don't. The single cutaway gives access to a higher register, which gives the player a bigger range. That's why I like it. Almost all the guitars I looked at only had 20 frets because of a smaller scale neck. The neck joins at the 14th fret. You have clear access to the 15th-20th fret. You need this access when you turn the pre-amp up to do lead work or rhythm riffs.

Talking about the pre-amp and EQ, built in to every Takamine acoustic electric guitar left handed edition is excellent. With a TK4N electronics, this special set up gives guitarists to manually change mid-range on the fly if needed and has a "notch" filter which is changeable.

The Natural series of Takamine guitars deserves to be mentioned. This series will cost more than the G series guitars. They have solid cedar tops and mahogany backs and sides, all of excellent quality to ensure the best possible sound. The acoustic and electric left-handed guitars are still great value for the money, because the clarity and tone that they produce are outstanding. These fine guitars should be used with light to medium steel strings. When you do so, Takamine's attention to detail really shines through to give the best guitar sound available anywhere.

If you happen to be a southpaw, you cannot buy just any guitar. Instead, you need to find a shop that sells left-handed guitars, such as www.lefthandedguitarmall.com, which stocks left-handed electric guitars. It also has other musical items designed especially for lefties. - 18758

Dance History Of The Mambo

By Melanie LaPatin

Throughout history, many forms of music have been called The Devils Music. In the 1950s many people burned rock and roll records (not a smart thing to do considering the poisonous fumes that are released by burning plastic). Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry all went up in flames. Of course that didnt hurt their careers any, as the kids of that time just bought more records. The Mambo, however, has been called The Devils Dance (Diabolo), and the more extreme forms can be exhausting to perform.

The Mambo arose from a blend of African rhythms and Cuban music. West African slaves from the Congo and Yoruba were transported to the Caribbean. Bringing their two hundred gods with them, the people would call out to them in music, song and dance. Mambo is translated as "conversation with the gods" and in Haiti, Mambo is a voodoo priestess who protects the village, drives away demons, heals and provides wisdom and guidance.

The Mambo drum rhythms were incorporated into the Cuban Congos music. Mixed with a number of other styles of foreign music, the new blend was then combined with Western Jazz in the Havana casinos where Latin orchestras blared hot Cuban music. Havana was the place to be in the 1950s if you were an American with the money for travel. Celebrities or all kinds joined the Times Square and East Coast tourists who flocked to Cuba to get away from it all. As more and more Americans were exposed to the Latin beats and Cuban music, more Cuban orchestras and dancers found opportunities in America. Along with Cuban cigars, dances like the Mambo made their way to the United States to the delight of the mainlanders. The Mambo blend of American Jazz, African beat and Cuban Rumba rhythm caught on like wildfire. Although the early version presented in America was rather docile compared to its origins, the Mambo is a dance that can be quite sensual and erotic in its performance. You can take it as far as you want to go. Because of the African influence, the dance is guided by the off beat, unlike traditional Western dances which follow the downbeat. This different movement structure was new to Americans who found the novelty both intriguing and compelling. The Mambo can be danced as a Single Mambo, Double Mambo or Triple Mambo, depending upon the basic steps. It was the Triple Mambo with its five steps per measure that later diverged into the Cha Cha.

The Salsa also derived from the Mambo. The story goes that as bands were playing, people would call out, Salsa! Salsa! or Spice it up! As a result, the Salsa is a Mambo on steroids. It is faster with a more dramatic flair.

Mambo came into its own as a specific musical genre in the 1950s thanks to Perez Prado, who brought the Mambo to New York, but toned it down to accommodate the Manhattan audience. Even in its milder form, however, the Mambo caught on and continues to this day. Both Perry Como and Nat King Cole agree, Poppa loves Mambo! Mamma loves Mambo! - 18758
