If Harland Bernard Bodkin weren't an Aussie but American he would even mentioned instead ignoring him totally. The dude was the only one who could proof with documents that he was the inventor of electric guitar ("electric guitar" patent in 1941, solid body, electric field pick up). No other claimed inventors have been able to provide documented proof that they are in fact the inventor of the electric guitar.
Museums should have an accurate aspect even if concerning electric guitars.

Wonderful history, but she forgot to mention at 0:32 that the Dopyera Brothers tried to make the acoustic guitar louder by adding metal cones inside. The birth of the Dobro. Soon after that, the electrics came out, overshadowing the need for the dobro, but it's unique sound made it popular in bluegrass, country and early blues.
I apologise for interupting this lesson, but the dobro, or resonator guitar sure has a great sound too. See Greg Booth, Jerry Douglas or Martin Gross and others.

What an interesting video! As a musician, I find this quite neat. I think SmithsonianEducation is providing a positive example so far of making learning about history a fun thing. Thanks!
Fondly,
