Lesle West Mountain Youtube

Tony Hogan — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:40:02 +0000

Anyone that was alive and really listening to rock guitar in the 1970′s would know of Leslie West from the band Mountain. Leslie’s sound was second to none, he played a Les Paul junior and an interesting thing was he wasn’t really interested in using his little finger on his fretting hand, regardless of that his tone was sensational and sends chills down the spine.

Charlie Hunter Youtube – If Six Was Nine

Tony Hogan — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:53:23 +0000

This guy Charlie Hunter is a really serious guitar player; there’s guys who just play, guys that shred and others that just copy. Charlie Hunter is someone that thinks for himself, and he can play. I’ve been aware of his playing for quite a few years now, when I first heard him him doing Hendrix’s If six was Nine, I thought what is this? What the? That sound… good heavens… he’s got it. And I got what he’s doing and it sends chills through me. Salutations to Charlie Hunter.

Here’s a great electric guitar video on youtube of Kenny Wayne Shepherd performing at the Fender Frontline Live stage at the NAMM music show 2008, doing Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile. This is awesome, if you haven’t seen it get ready for a treat.

Jimi Hendrix Youtube – All Along the Watchtower

Tony Hogan — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 08:59:17 +0000

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.

Pachelbel Canon Youtube Electric Guitar

Tony Hogan — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:54:38 +0000

When I listen to some of the players out there now on electric guitar it shows me how far we have come in the last 30 years. This guy is exceptional and his interpretation of Pacelbels Canon is a great lesson in being yourself, well at least taking the techniques that define your particular style and applying them to an already existing piece and giving it a new life.

Daryl Stuermer Youtube Interview

Tony Hogan — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 10:22:32 +0000

Daryl Stuermer is not a guitar player that many people will know of. I first saw him with Jean Luc Ponty live playing the most incredible acoustic guitar in the seventies. He’s also worked with Phil Collins and on many other projects, you may not know of him but I have no doubt you’ve heard him play.

If you are a guitar player you may be interested in what he has to say because he discusses the changes that have happened in the way that musicians now get their work out there into the music world.

Here is a link to his site Daryl Stuermer

Creedence Clearwater Youtube

Tony Hogan — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 00:11:10 +0000

Here’s a great classic sounding youtube video of Creedence Clearwater Revival with John Fogarty’s incredibly swampy sound playing the soul hit Heard it through the Grapevine.

The Byrds MCGuinn and Clarence White Youtube

Tony Hogan — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:01:31 +0000

A lot of guitarists may not know of Clarence White, Roger McGuinn and the Byrds. I’ve posted about this for historical reasons and also because I love McGuinns voice, (think Hey Mr Tambourine Man and the jangly Rickenbacker guitar sound), it also has Clarence White, the great guitar player who died in 73. Clarence White was one a very brilliant acoustic guitar player who had the perfect bluegrass acoustic sound that inspired thousands of players, many have copied him either consciously or unconsciously. I also love the dancing in the clip.
