High (Keith Urban Album)
''High'' is the twelfth studio album by New Zealand-born Australian country music singer Keith Urban. The album was released on 20 September 2024 via Hit Red and Capitol Records Nashville. Background ''High'' marks Urban's first studio album since ''The Speed of Now Part 1'' (2020). He began working on an album in 2022, tentatively titled ''615'', but ultimately scrapped the project. Several of the songs from that project eventually made their way onto ''High'', a 12-track set that he titled after the feeling of "euphoria" he felt during the creative process. On the title, Urban said: "What makes you 'high' can mean whatever you want it to mean. It might be physical, spiritual, herbal, meditative, chemical, or musical, but it’s definitely a place of utopia." Urban wrote the album's opening interlude and co-wrote six of its tracks, and it features a collaboration with Lainey Wilson (" Go Home W U"). "Straight Line" was released as the album's lead single in February 2024. It wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Banjo Guitar
Banjo guitar or banjitar or ganjo (Australia) is a six-string banjo tuned in the standard tuning of a six-string guitar (E2-A2-D3-G3-B3-E4) from lowest to highest strings. The six-string banjo was introduced in the late 19th century. Less widespread than four- and five-string banjos, it was reintroduced in the latter part of the twentieth century with the modern guitar-like tuning. The six-string "banjo guitar" should not be confused with the five-string banjo (played by Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs and others), which retains re-entrant banjo tuning with a high-pitched short drone string going halfway up the neck. The zither banjo has six tuning keys, but also only five strings as the short fifth string goes up a hole at the 5th fret up a channel under the fingerboard, and through a hole in the headstock to a tuning roller. Banjo guitar players Johnny St. Cyr was the first well known player of six string banjo. He used it in Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven, with Jelly ...

12-string Acoustic Guitar
A twelve-string guitar (or 12-string guitar) is a steel-string guitar with 12 string (music), strings in six Course (music), courses, which produces a thicker, more ringing tone than a standard six-string guitar. Typically, the strings of the lower four courses are tuned in octaves, with those of the upper two courses tuned in unison. The gap between the strings within each dual-string course is narrow, and the strings of each course are fretted and plucked as a single unit. The neck is wider, to accommodate the extra strings, and is similar to the width of a classical guitar neck. The sound, particularly on acoustic instruments, is fuller and more harmonically resonant than six-string instruments. The 12-string guitar can be played like a 6-string guitar as players still use the same notes, chords and guitar techniques like a standard 6-string guitar, but advanced techniques might be tough as players need to play or pluck two strings simultaneously.
