Breath control is more important if you play wind instruments.

That reminds me, I told Fash I was gonna do some brass.  I'll not bother with a separate thread.



More tango, especially Astor Piazzolla

My grandfather was a renowned exponent of the electric guitar in the UK, even having an article about him published in "Variety".



My father played electric guitar in Glenn Miller style "big bands" in the 50's.



I am living proof that musical adeptness is not transferable by DNA.

Electric guitar in the big band era was not your solidbody guitar of today, but typically a big ass archtop guitar, with a mag pickup added.  Before Charlie Christian (i.e., prior to WW2) they had to be played acoustically.  In my childhood nobody wanted an archtop guitar because it didn't have the warm sweet tone of a flattop, but in recent years those old archtop beasts have had a renascence.  See my post at the top of page 2, this thread.

His was a Hofner, as you describe. Bigass.



That is all I know about it.
