Music with the development of the media since the 20th century marks a change into an era where the live performance and music of the masses, which were hard to imagine in previous times, are shared. Based on this cultural trend, teenage music, which has been completely alienated from existing culture, is in line with the birth of Rock 'n' Roll, an event that has entered the mainstream, and the emergence of the guitar, especially the solid body electric guitar. The Fender Stratocaster, which is referred to as the epitome of this electric guitar, has joined the history of popular music for rock 'n' roll. To this day, the immense influence, which still encompasses many followers and generations, has served as a bridge that continues to be reproduced, even in the historical trend of popular music and the status of electric guitars. In addition, even in the rapid development of popular music and media, we will always be able to give true meaning and value to the vitality with the times. This paper examines the features and marks of these Fender Stratocasters.

In this paper, we construct and compare various guitar chord classification systems using perceptron neural network and convolutional neural network without pre-processing other than Fourier transform to identify the optimal chord classification system. Conventional guitar chord classification schemes use, for better feature extraction, computationally demanding pre-processing techniques such as stochastic analysis employing a hidden markov model or an acoustic data filtering and hence are burdensome for real-time chord classifications. For this reason, we construct various perceptron neural networks and convolutional neural networks that use only Fourier tranform for data pre-processing and compare them with dataset obtained by playing an electric guitar. According to our comparison, convolutional neural networks provide optimal performance considering both chord classification acurracy and fast processing time. In particular, convolutional neural networks exhibit robust performance even when only small fraction of low frequency components of the data are used.

A guitar pickup transforms the vibration of strings to the electric signals, and deliveres them to an amplifier. A piezo pickup has interference problem between strings. The paper aims to improve sound quality for an electro-acoustic guitar through the finite element analysis. Firstly the conventional pickup is modeled and analyzed with a commercial program called ANSYS. It is obvious that there exists interference between the strings. The structural modification of the pickup is performed, based on the beam theory The modified structures are suggested, modeled and analyzed. Then the result are compared with those in the conventional pickup. It can be concluded that the interferences with the modified structures are much less than those with the conventional structure.

The electro-acoustic guitar pickup converts the vibration of strings to the electric signals, and delivers them to an amplifier. The vibration of the strings is transferred to the piezoelectric material through the saddle. This paper aims to improve sound quality for electro-acoustic guitars through the finite element analysis of the saddle. Firstly, the conventional pickup is modeled and analyzed with a commercial program called ANSYS. It is obvious that there exists interference phenomenon of stress. A structural modification of the pickup is performed, based on the beam theory. The modified structure is modeled and analyzed. Finally, the fabricated structures are subjected to the measurements and compared with the conventional pickup. It can be concluded that the interference with the modified structure is much less than that with the conventional structure, and that the sound quality is improved with the modified structures.

A guitar pickup is a transducer that converts string vibration to an electrical signal. The magnetic and piezo pickups are the most commonly used for the respective electric and electroacoustic guitars. The magnetic pickups are prone to magnetic interference between the steel strings and permanent magnets, while the piezo ones are not free from signal inference between the strings. Thus, this paper presents the development of an optical pickup for the electroacoustic guitar. The proposed optical pickup has the top-to-bottom structure. It uses two of Infrared (IR) Light Emitting Diode (LED) and one photodetector. The developed optical pickup is subjected to the evaluation with commonly used piezoelectric pickup. It becomes obvious that SNR with the optical pickup is increased by 45 percent in average, compared with the piezoelectric pickup. It can be concluded that the developed optical pickup has a potential to be applied to the acoustic guitar.

오랫동안 젊은이들의 각광을 받고 있는 전기 기타는 모양은 조금 바뀌었지만 픽업에서 얻은 음성 전류를 유선으로 증폭기로 보내는 방법을 그대로 사용하고 있다. 한편 연주자가 넓은 무대에 설 때는 증폭기 바로 앞에 서야하기 때문에 움직임에 제약이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 기타에 송신기를 장착하고 앰프에 수신장치를 설치하여 연주자가 자유롭게 움직이며 연주할 수 있는 방안을 제기한다.

In the current mainstream pop music scene, Stevie ray vaughan's status is a singer-songwriter and electric blues guitarist, who occupies a very large position despite his short period of activity. His influence has remained to the present day as the voice of many guitarists ranging from his unique sound to his explosive stage performances. Let's take a look at the technical parts of his performance, rhythm and solo performances, among the various traces of his constant reproduction. Based on one of his most famous works, 'Pride and Joy' I analyzed the solo and rhythm, scale that Stevie Ray Vaughan played. Through the African American blues, a peripheral heritage he has been trying to influence and influence, how his traces congregate in the center of today's mainstream pop music scene. This will give us little clues to appreciate before the research that will have a variety of influences and values.
