TIDBITS® MAKES MUSIC WITH
WALK-INS WELCOME
WE OFFER
by Kathy Wolfe Did you know that April is International Guitar Month? This week, Tidbits is studying up on the best-selling musical instrument in the world, played by more than 50 million people worldwide. • The guitar is a chordophone, an instrument that makes its sound via vibrating strings stretched between two points. The word “acoustic” refers to a guitar that is not electronically amplified. An acoustic guitar produces its sounds by transmitting the strings’ vibration to the air, with the sound waves resonating though the guitar’s body. A soundboard, a thin sheet of wood, is placed under the strings to increase the resonance. Electric guitars have electromagnetic pickMTIDBITS (IA) ups that convert the strings’ vibrations Size: 3.33” X 3.33” into electrical signals, which are fed into Column: N/A an amplifier. IO: 421689 • The guitar’s origins date Color: back around B/W Designer:image JRS of 4,000 years. The oldest known an instrument with a guitar’s feature is 3,300 years old, a stone carving of a Hittite minstrel in Turkey. A Cairo, Egypt, archaeological museum is home to a 3,500-year-old guitar that belonged to an Egyptian singer named Har-Mose. His instrument was made of cedarwood with a rawhide soundboard and three strings. Turn the page for more!

• Ancient stringed instruments used tortoise shells or hollowed-out gourds, with a bent stick for a neck, and strings of animal gut or silk. • In the early days, a guitar was defined as having “a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides.”
• The word “guitar” is derived from the Spanish word, guitarra, which is a very large six-string acoustic bass played in mariachi bands. Other ancient terms from various languages include gitarre, qitara, cithara, kithara, and sihtar. • The neck of the guitar is comprised of the headstock (at the end of the neck), the fretboard (the fingerboard), the frets, which are metal strips embedded on the fretboard, the nut (a small strip of hard material at the junction of the headstock and neck), the tuners, and the truss rod, a metal rod along the inside of the neck. • Frets are located along the neck at exact points that divide the scale into half-step intervals. Which fret the string is pressed against determines the note’s pitch.

• Decorative materials are usually set into the exterior of the guitar, such as dots on the fretboard to mark the positions or around the sound hole of acoustic guitars. These are known as inlays and are frequently made of mother of pearl. Inlays around the sound hole are called rosettes and serve as a type of reinforcement to the opening. • Acoustic guitars might be classical or flamenco versions. The classical guitar has a wide, flat neck to enable musicians to execute scales and arpeggios more efficiently. Strings are usually made of nylon. Cont'd next page!

• A standard guitar usually has six strings, typically tuned from a low E to a high E, with A, D, G, and B in between. The 12-string guitar, used in folk music, blues, and rock and roll, has six courses of two strings each, usually made of steel. The bass guitar has four strings, turned to E-A-D-G, an octave below the lowest four strings of the six-string.

• Les Paul came up with the idea of an electric guitar in the late 1930s. He wired a phonograph needle to his acoustic guitar and connected it to a radio speaker to amplify the sound. Unhappy with the hollow-body guitar, he designed a solidbody one from a cast-off railroad tie, an instrument with less feedback and a richer sound because of the wood’s mass. He nicknamed it “The Log,” and in 1940, the Epiphone guitar factory helped him produce a more attractive version with curved sides and an Epiphone fretboard. The Gibson Les Paul was first sold in 1952, and they have gone on to manufacture 100 different variations of Les Paul models. • In 1946, a southern California inventor named Leo Fender founded a new guitar company (although he was a saxophonist, not a guitarist!). In 1951, the company introduced a new solid-body guitar that would become known as the Telecaster. (It was first called the Broadcaster, but this was a conflict with a drum kit with the same name.) They also unveiled a brand new instrument, the electric bass, allowing those who played the upright bass to play a more compact instrument, rather than the cumbersome upright. The Stratocaster came along in 1954, created from ash wood. In 1956, the wood was changed to alder, which continues to be used today. In 1957, Buddy Holly and the Crickets made their television debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” That was also the television debut of the Stratocaster as Holly belted out “That’ll Be the Day” and “Peggy Sue.” Cont'd next page!

• Famous Fender guitar players include Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Jimmy Page, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and John Mayer. Artists who have chosen Gibson have included Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Bob Marley, Sheryl Crow, Peter Frampton, and Joe Walsh. • The Fender factory manufactures about 90,000 strings a day, equaling about 20,000 miles in length, enough to circle the world. • In 2004, Eric Clapton sold his favorite guitar, a Stratocaster nicknamed Blackie at Christie’s Auction House in New York to raise funds for an alcohol and drug treatment center he had founded in 1997, the Crossroads Centre Antigua. The instrument fetched $959,500. • In 1998, a devastating tornado struck Nashville, Tennessee, felling a giant 275-year-old poplar tree that stood on the grounds of the plantation of 7th U.S. president, Andrew Jackson, The Hermitage. The Gibson Company built 188 guitars out of the old tree, inlaid with the name “Old Hickory” (Jackson’s nickname) and pictures of the president and his home. The first Old Hickory was donated to the Smithsonian Institute, and proceeds from the sale of the remainder were donated to support restoration of The Hermitage. • Some electric guitars have a lever attached to the bridge or tailpiece to enable the musician to quickly vary the tension and length of the strings to produce a vibrato or pitch bend effect. This accessory is referred to as a tremolo bar, or more commonly, a whammy bar. • The C.F. Martin guitar company was established in 1833 and to this day, remains in the hands of the Martin family, with the great-great-great-grandson of the founder as its current CEO.
Q: What do you call a successful guitarist? A: A guy whose wife has 2 jobs.

About Mental Illness One 1 in 5 Americans, or nearly 60 million people across all racial, ethnic, age, religious and economic groups, face the day-to-day reality of living with a mental health condition. Mental illness affects everyone. Fifty percent of mental health conditions begin by age 14 and 75 percent of mental health conditions develop by age 24. Yet fewer than one-third of adults and one-half of children with a mental health condition receive services and treatment in a given year. The result of this public health failure is often tragic: Suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth and young adults ages 15 to 24. Early engagement and support are crucial to improving outcomes and increasing the promise of recovery.
Support
We reach out and respond to those in need through our HelpLine, website, social media channels and through no-cost support groups for families and individuals.
#IAmStigmaFree
Education
We get it. We’ve been there. With the understanding unique to those with lived experience, we provide an array of no-cost education programs.
Awareness
We promote a unified voice on mental illness, aiming to replace ignorance with understanding through NAMIWalks, public presentations, public education and outreach initiatives and more.
Advocacy
About NAMI NAMI Is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an association of hundreds of local affiliates, state organizations and volunteers who work in communities nationwide as part of the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization.

NAMI Johnson County is a 501 (C)(3) grassroots mental health organization.
NAMI is the voice of reason, advocating tirelessly at the national, state and local levels, promoting common-sense solutions to solve our nation’s mental health care crisis and ensure research advances. NAMI members and leaders are visible and formidable, taking on and winning tough battles.
NAMIWalks
NAMIWalks’ public, active display of support for people affected by mental health conditions is one important way we are changing how Americans view people with a mental illness. NAMIWalks bring together families, individuals, coworkers and businesses to help raise funds, combat stigma and promote awareness. NAMIWalks is NAMI’s largest and most successful mental health awareness and fundraising event. In 2015, 79 NAMIWalks events raised nearly $11 million to support local programs and initiatives that improve the lives of persons affected by mental illness. Cover photo by Keren Lynn Photography.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
A man asks the devil: “how much does it cost to be the greatest guitar player in the world?”
* It was early 20th-century financier, philanthropist and political consultant Bernard Baruch who made the following sage observation: “Millions of people saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one to ask why.”
The devil says: “Give me your Soul.” The man asks: “What can I get for a dollar?” Devil: “Greatest bass player in the world.”
Everyone knows what Coca Cola is, but they still market as much as they can.
Do You? we do

* You might be surprised to learn that beloved American musician Johnny Cash wrote more than just songs; in 1953, before he started his music career, Cash wrote a science-fiction tale called “The Holografik Danser.” * According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are at least 350 languages spoken in American homes. * Those who study such things say that lightning flashes 100 to 125 times every second worldwide. * Historians say that the romance between Cleopatra, Ptolemaic Egypt’s last active pharaoh, and Roman statesman Julius Caesar was something of a May-December romance: She was 21 and he was 54. * Mexico has the world’s highest percapita rate of carbonated beverage consumption.
