Other than some Hawaiian music, these recordings by Milton Brown were the first ever to feature electric guitar. It was Bob Dunn on lap steel guitar that he learned to amplify from a street musician. From Jan 1936

In rock-n-roll music, few ever topped Danny Cedrone's killer from 'Rock Around the Clock' which he also played on the even earlier record 'Rock This Joint' from 1952!
