The popularity has increased exponentially in popular culture since then introduction of the guitar in Blues Music of Deep South America in the beginning of the twentieth-century and furthered through the 1950’s Rock and Roll movement and is now often viewed as a synonym of Popular music. However, as will be demonstrated it is not merely an instrument for accompaniment or purely jovial entertainment: a wide range of Western art music composers and composer-guitarists have paved the way for a whole new range of performance techniques for the instrument.

Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to discover whether music that incorporates brainwave entrainment (BWE) methods could be used to alleviate troubles in getting to sleep. Previous studies in BWE were analysed and empirical evidence gathered to discover whether poor sleep is still prevalent. The study concluded although no valid research has been conducted into BWE’s effects on sleep; strong evidence exists to support the use of BWE for the alleviation of headaches, back-pain, PMS whilst also increasing cognitive functioning, specifically for special reasoning tasks. It also found that some BWE methods to be more effective than others, specifically confirming that binaural beats BWE is ineffective. Further experimental study is needed to fully assess the effect that specifically composed BWE music could have on improving sleep quality.
