Buddy Guy and Carlos Santana Youtube

Saturday, December 27th, 2008 | Blues, Guitar Legends, Youtube | 1 Comment

Buddy Guy is one of the legends of Electric Blues Guitar.  This electric guitar youtube video is a performance of Buddy Guy at Montreux Jazz Festivalin 2004.  He invited Carlos Santana to the stage to play a blues with him.  It starts slowly with Buddy trading lines with the sax player.  Then Santana plays a slow blues and then heads into his trademark stlye.  It then pulls backand there’s some swapping of licks between Buddy and Carlos, then they start howling, then they settie back for a brief moment… then they go bananas just before the end.  I love it!

Duke Robillard Youtube

Thursday, December 11th, 2008 | Blues, Jazz Guitar, Youtube | 1 Comment

You may know the great blues guitar player, Duke Robillard.  Well here’s Duke in another setting playing a semi acoustic guitar solo.  Some players might think this sort of thing is easy to do.  Try it, see if you can play solo single lines with a few double stops and chords every now and then, just solo through a blues or simple jazz tune without stopping.   Joe Pass, Martin Taylor, Kenny Burrell and others are great (or were) at this.  This a a great way to strengthen your playing, stay with in the paramaters of a blues guitar progression and keep going.  I lie this  Duke Robillard on Youtube Video, it displays another aspect of his playing

Jimi Hendrix Youtube – All Along the Watchtower

Sunday, December 7th, 2008 | Electric Guitar, Guitar Legends, Rock Guitar, Youtube | 1 Comment

There are very few songs that stop me in my tracks and send a shiver down my spine when I hear it.  When I was in my teens I was a Hendrix fanatic.  I’m now 52 years old and although I dedicate most of my time to acoustic guitar when I hear All Along the Watchtower the song that Jimi Hendrix redefined I’m reminded why I spent years as an electric guitarist and how brilliant Jimi Hendrix was.
So here’s a Youtube Video of Jimi Hendrix live at the Isle of White.

  • INTERVIEW: Pennywise’s Fletcher Dragge
    Hermosa Beach, California punk rock pioneers Pennywise released their tenth studio album, All Or Nothing, on April 26 via Epitaph Records.

  • INTERVIEW: Rex Brown talks Vulgar Display
    It’s twenty years since Pantera released Vulgar Display Of Power. That’s the same as the span of time between the Beatles’ first world tour and Van Halen’s Jump. Or between Led Zeppelin IV and Pearl Jam’s Ten. It seems hard to believe now, where crunchy metal riffs are used in everything from kids’ movies to […]
  • INTERVIEW: Garbage’s Butch Vig
    When Garbage went into hiatus around 2006, nobody expected the band to be gone forever. It really did seem like more of a ‘recharge the creative batteries’ break than a ‘we hate each other and can’t stand to work together ever again’ thing. So when they announced their plans to return, it was not really […]
  • CD REVIEW: Storm Corrosion
    Porcupine Tree and Opeth are both bands with distinctive sounds – Pink Floydian prog rock on one side, and sprawling progressive death metal on the other. So you could be forgiven for expecting a collaboration between each band’s masterminds (Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson, Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt) to be a progressive death metal epic full of […]
