While electric guitars can produce an almost infinite array of sounds, they’ve become – at least in popular culture – most associated with a dirty, distorted one. Think of the growling introduction to T Rex’s Twentieth-Century Boy or The Kinks’ menacing riff to You Really Got Me. Guitarists nowadays strive to emulate these sounds, and “distortion” is a standard feature on most amplifiers.
In the U.S. Mainland in the early 20th century, after the 1898 annexation of Hawaii, [24] the Hawaiian " craze" [25] [8] :8 was in full force, as evidenced by radio broadcasts, [26] stage shows, [18] :31 and motion pictures [8] :8 featuring Hawaiian music. [27] Hollywood films perpetuated the musical image of an idealized island lifestyle. [2] :11 Hawaiian guitars and lessons for youth were widely available. For example, the Oahu Music Company sold their Oahu-brand guitars and lessons to young people by door-to-door sales, canvassing nearly every city in the United States. [28] :13 Oermann, Robert K.

Today, effects pedals such as those that Mayer still makes can produce such overdriven tones at lower volumes, but, as he points out, only certain types of distortion actually sound good. “The golden rule, basically is, if you modify a wave form in such a way that the harmonics and the end result do not obey natural laws that occur in nature, it’s not going to sound very good … A series of odd harmonics is not as musical as the even harmonics are. It sounds discordant.”
