The Electrification of the Guitar


Aaron Thibeaux "T-Bone" Walker was a critically acclaimed American blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who was an influential pioneer and innovator of the jump blues and electric blues sound. Wikipedia

Think of an object that is powered by electricity that you use everyday.

Now imagine how that task could be accomplished without electricity.

With a partner discuss the advantages of electricity for this particular tool or gadget. Does it have any disadvantages?

Share your ideas with a partner. Share with the class.


Guided Practice:
1     1)    T. hand out listening questions. Listen to each song and         
        answer questions identifying characteristic of each song.


       2 )    After each song, T. chooses volunteers to share their answers.

\

Group discussion: What are the best attributes of each song?
