In the 21st Century, the guitar, as both a material object and tool
for artistic expression, continues to be reimagined and reinvented.
From simple adaptations or modifications made by performers
themselves, to custom-made instruments commissioned to fulfil
specific functions, to the mass production of new lines of
commercially available instruments, the extant and emergent forms
of this much-loved musical instrument vary perhaps more than ever
before. As guitars sporting multiple necks, a greater number of
strings, and additional frets become increasingly common, so too do
those with reduced registers, fewer strings, and fretless
fingerboards. Furthermore, as we approach the mark of the first
quarter-century, the role of technology in relation to the guitar's
protean nature is proving key, from the use of external effects
units to synergies with computers and AR headsets. Such
wide-ranging evolutions and augmentations of the guitar reflect the
advancing creative and expressive needs of the modern guitarist and
offer myriad new affordances. 21st Century Guitar examines the
diverse physical manifestations of the guitar across the modern
performative landscape through a series of essays and interviews.
Academics, performers and dual-practitioners provide significant
insights into the rich array of guitar-based performance practices
emerging and thriving in this century, inviting a reassessment of
the guitar's identity, physicality and sound-creating
possibilities.
