My god, this ad is annoying me.

“Electricity is added to a guitar, and rock and roll is born”.

I’m fairly sure the first dudes using electric were Hawaiian, actually. Charles, do you know if that’s right? And they were jazzy dudes, not rock and roll. Late thirties. I think.

I believe the first person to record a solo on electric guitar was jazz guitarist Charlie Christian.
