<p>When it comes to inventive guitar playing, nobody’s list would be complete without Andy Summers. Summers is well known as the second man to play guitar for British rockers The Police (French-born original guitarist Henry Padovani left the band in 1977) and his style of playing brought a freshness to the band. Summers has had quite the journey along his musical life, starting in the early 1960’s playing R&amp;B in Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band. The psychedelic spin-off from the Big Roll Band was Dantalian’s Chariot which Zoot Money and Summers was both a part of in 1967.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/guitar-courses/jamplay.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" title="Lear to play guitar with Jam Play" src="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/imgs/jam-play.gif" alt="" width="112" height="420" /></a></p>
<p>Summers would go on to greener pastures in 1968, joining the Soft Machine and then Eric Burdon &amp; The Animals. Summers moved to America in the early 1970’s and took up classical guitar at Cal State Northridge University in 1973 graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music. After returning to London in the mid 1970’s, Summers played with Kevin Coyne and Kevin Ayers. In 1977, Summers’ joined the band Strontium 90 that featured future Police cohorts Sting and Stewart Copeland.</p>
<p>With Summers’ varied background and knowledge of the instrument, his playing flourishes and subtle touch hardly go unnoticed upon listening to classic Police tracks. Nowhere was this touch more evident on 1979’s “Walking On The Moon” a #1 single from the album “Reggatta de Blanc”. “Walking” contained a single shimmering D minor 11th chord that rang out during the verse. Sting’s bass playing and singing were top rate but it was Summers’ “textural” guitar work getting more and more notoriety in the press.</p>
<p>Summers and The Police shot to stardom in the early 1980’s with more classics like “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” and “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”. One of Summers’ hardest songs to play is “Message In A Bottle” which is often erroneously stated to be played with a capo. In actuality, Summers’ used a method of playing which he took from one of his classical heroes Bela Bartok. Summers’ played the “Message” riff as parallel fifths requiring a very wide stretch of the fretting hand to get all 12 notes in the riff correctly. Summers and fellow Dorset native Robert Fripp made use of Bartok exercises in the 1982 instrumental tour-de-force “I Advance Masked”.</p>
<p>1983 was the year that changed everything for Summers and The Police. They rang the New Year in while recording what would become the “Synchronicity” album. The ensuing tour would take the band around the world in nearly eight months. Three legs and 107 shows later on March 4th, 1984 in Melbourne, Australia, The Police would play their final Synchronicity show. Before the 2007 reunion tour, The Police would only play three more shows together in 1986 during the Conspiracy Of Hope tour.</p>
<p>Sting quietly shuttered the Police down so that he could focus on his solo career. No serious efforts were made to do something concrete until 2007 when all three members did a worldwide reunion tour. Something of which Summers alluded to was the reason for doing it in the first place as there was no closure within the band throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s</p>
<p>To learn guitar, one needs to learn the basics and this is exactly what Summers’ did as a youth. His fanatical approach to Jazz (especially during the 1960’s and 1970’s) and R&amp;B netted him more chords to learn then did some of his other contemporaries.</p>

<p>There is one rule when it comes to playing the guitar: If it sounds good, it is good. Most guitar musicians are known for exhibiting a certain groove, swing or feel to the way they play and most listeners will easily “feel” it when they hear it. Every great guitar player who has ever lived, or is still alive, has this swing to their cords and when it comes to U2’s guitarist, it’s no different. If you are taking guitar lessons online, you will likely benefit from their experience and experimentation in guitar playing.</p>
<p align="center"><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EM4vblG6BVQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Yes, its all about taking it to the edge with “The Edge”. His style is harmonic, textural and rhythmic and he simply blows minds with his rhythm. If you do decide to take guitar lessons online, then you will benefit from what The Edge has to say in a recent interview, especially considering that you may not have many one-on-one contacts with a popular guitarist of his stature.</p>
<p>According to The Edge, finding your style is one step towards achieving uniqueness. By being adaptable, especially to changing technology, The Edge pointed out that this has redefined their style while still allowing them to maintain a unique sound.</p>
<p>How do they maintain that unique sound despite dynamism?</p>
<p>One way is to go back to the origins of Rock and Roll. In The Edge’s own words while talking their album ATYCLB “We were given a huge education in rhythm – pure and simple. Rock and roll started out as dance music, but somewhere along the way it lost its hips and became rhythmically simplistic. The emergence of hip-hop and dance culture has upped the ante in the rhythm department – and there’s no going back.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/guitar-courses/jamplay.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" title="Lear to play guitar with Jam Play" src="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/imgs/jam-play.gif" alt="" width="112" height="420" /></a></p>
<p>Listeners aren’t going to accept lazy rhythms anymore.” If you are starting out in learning how to play the guitar and hopefully taking it a step further, this is something to keep in mind. By being adaptable and bringing in a new rhythm to your chords, you remain relevant and let listeners know that you are at per with what is going on. Of course this is different from selling out.</p>
<p>This simply means that you care about the aesthetics and willing to produce something that people want to listen to. Most guitar lessons online are simple and will not really take you to the next step if being a rock and roll star is your goal, but they can lay the foundation needed and help you discover your voice and style. According to The Edge, sometimes keeping things simple works for the better. This however does not mean being a traditionalist, but it means either having the guitar and amp alone or going solo on quite a few songs on an album.</p>
<p>“Music dictates what I play”, says The Edge. “I never want to feel that I’m playing anything gratuitous. I get off on finding the perfect tone for the perfect part.” Depending on what works at any given moment, go with the flow. The Edge says that being a minimalistic at heart helps him come up with the solos that are ever present in each of the albums that U2 has released.</p>

<p><a href="http://www-acousticguitar.us/gibson-acoustic-guitar" target="_blank">Gibson guitar</a> is an  ikon in the guitar  diligence . Gibson is  presently a major  instrumentalist in both the electric guitar and acoustic guitar on the  mart. The company was named  after Orville Gibson, who  caused  mandolins in Kalamazoo,  Stops in the late  19th  C . <a href="http://www-acousticguitar.us/gibson-acoustic-guitar" target="_blank">Gibson acoustic guitar</a> employed the same method to make  the first big body archtop acoustic guitars. Gibson Guitar has been one of the first to come with adjustable truss rods inside the  neck opening of the guitar to give it strength . This is  stock still in use today,  letting   guitar players to affect the release  of the handle.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/guitar-courses/jamplay.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" title="Lear to play guitar with Jam Play" src="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/imgs/jam-play.gif" alt="" width="112" height="420" /></a></p>
<p>Still today,  near  every guitar is adjustable truss-rod, which passes through the  neck opening of a guitar. This was developed by Gibson guitars in the early days , give force to the  neck opening. Floating   safeguard  choice  is  likewise  a new Gibson. After doing  a good deal  of experimenting with the guitar sound expanded  in 1930, Gibson  printed a number  of semi-acoustic guitar. ES acronym stands for Electric Spanish. This is not a reference  to a  definitive guitar with nylon  drawing strings that we know today. The Spanish term used to   severalize  between the  Hawaiian guitar , guitars, which are  overlap style guitars.</p>
<p>With the growing popularity of electric guitars and amplified, could the upper end  of the finger board is currently   empathized . Gibson Guitars had the  thought of introducing  cutting off body shape  style. It should have  incessantly  employed in future electric guitars and many acoustic guitars, and  goes  to a world of guitar heroes. Gibson electric guitar first hit was majorly as 175th was  as well slightly  different because he had a tip off. In 1950, Fender Broadcaster new Gibson guitar has been under  force per unit area to  create the first solid guitar. This  ensued in the issue  of the Les Paul Standard electric guitar.</p>
<p>Gibson and  Cowcatcher  not only  the development of solid-body electric guitar.  Meantime ,  maturation   workplace was carried out  besides  by Rickenbacker, Bigsby and National also   took part in the tests. Les Paul was one of the leading  guitarists  of the time . His  existent name  was Lester.  Apostle of the Gentiles  had been toying with the  thought of solid-body guitars. His model  of the first  construct  adverts  to the paper guitar. He approached Gibson Guitars with his ideas  in the early 1940 but was rejected  instantly .  Erst freed  of the Fender Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul turned to him and asked him to work with them.</p>

<p>If you &#8216;re new to playing guitar, the  option  of optimal  <a href="http://www-acousticguitar.us/guitar-strings-acoustic/" target="_blank">guitar strings acoustic</a> s  for your instrument  can be  unmanageable. There are many  steels of guitar string s and they come in a wide   scope  of  guesses  and  admixtures.  Altering  string s on your acoustic guitar regularly  checks  that you have the best possible resonance to your sound.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/guitar-courses/jamplay.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" title="Lear to play guitar with Jam Play" src="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/imgs/jam-play.gif" alt="" width="112" height="420" /></a></p>
<p>New channels   too  gives a beautiful rich and luminous  quality that you can not understand is  step by step  vanished  as the string s were old  careworn .  Consequently, some acoustic guitarists  change  their <a href="http://www-acousticguitar.us/guitar-strings-acoustic/" target="_blank">acoustic guitar strings</a> s quite often.</p>
<p>When  confronted with the  undertaking  to  purchase new string s, here are some points to consider. Measuring  basic profile  specifies  how heavy chain . If you want  a heavy or light  air current  will depend on the audio quality you want  to  attain . In other words, a heavy gauge  and  reenforce his throat often  keep  more  expeditiously.</p>
<p>On the other hand, a lighter gauge  offers  more  tractability  ;  permitting  you to  flex a  promissory note .  What is more, lighter string s  put  less  tenseness on the neck  of the instrument . Therefore , if you have an old or fragile guitar, a  promiscuous   gage is  credibly  the best  pick for you.</p>
<p>Alloy Type &#8211; There are three main types of  metals : bronze (most popular),  atomic number 28 and steel. But these divided into subcategories. In other words, there are two types of phosphor bronze  metal called and 80 20.  Evidently , this indicates that the  chemical substance composition , which  bears upon  the sound of the guitar. A phosphor bronze alloy  of  atomic number 29 and a  pocket sized  portion  of tin .</p>
<p>These chains  regarded  sustained , and some  guitar players think  they have a fuller sound. 80 20, but is  created of 80 %  Cu  and 20 % zinc  ( thus  the  epithet). These string s have a sound very bright when they are new, but they  incline  to lose their luster  faster than the chains of  morning stars .  Consequently, they are popular among those who want  to change the string s often.</p>
<p>Medical specialist Strings &#8211; the string s and traditional acoustic, there are a  emcee of  narrowed   boy, all designed to enhance the  strength, sound or playability of the string.  Unremarkably , the  epithelial ducts  are  surfaced with a  exceptional   bond that improves  the sound quality and protects the rope from  wearing. Of course, the chains, they come with a higher price .</p>
<p>They are worth  it or not is debatable . Some  guitar players  cogitate  they are actually  worth  the extra  money while others are happy to  go forward using  more traditional  distribution channels. If you are  enamored  by the channels  and can afford  to  experimentation with them, then it is  surely   utilitarian to  regard what is proposed .</p>
<p>Alas, there is no easy answer to the question. Who is the best acoustic guitar string  chains ? Because it largely  depends on personal preference. It is advisable to  experimentation with different sizes,  metals and  manufacturing businesses until that you will  find out  the string s,  making  a sound that you like and that  tallies  your  pauperisms .</p>

<p>Jazz guitar instruction emphasizes on the development of methods whether or not you play solo, lead or rhythm. Once you be taught the chords, scales, and arpeggios and know all the basic notes, you focus in your method and speed. It helps to take heed to yourself in an effort to work out where you have to improve. Your right hand and left hand &#8211; or reasonably, your fretting hand and choosing hand should coordinate with one another completely so that you can hear the sound you supposed to.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/guitar-courses/jamplay.htm" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" title="Lear to play guitar with Jam Play" src="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/imgs/jam-play.gif" alt="" width="112" height="420" /></a></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be able to observe your favorite guitar lick repeatedly and time your self at different speeds. Watch how your palms transfer and try to get the effortless stream via practice. Nice jazz guitar players listened to their own music repeatedly to monitor their enjoying in order that they may focus on improvement. You want whole management over your selecting and fretting velocity and this may come from practising at various speeds over and over again.</p>
<p>Jazz has a language all its own that players use to speak with their audience. A wonderful data of scales is crucial if you wish to be an excellent improviser. The primary reason to learn scales is that they enable you visualize your fretboard. They help you be taught the tonality in a set of notes so that you know the way they will sound if you play a certain chord or go through a chord progression. In reality, essentially the most improvised are the rhythms. You will see that that you will need to have a repertoire of jazz swing rhythms in order to have the ability to accompany and improvise. So in case the music is in a selected model &#8211; funk or swing, you will have to improvise to play along.</p>
<p>Successful players have constructed up a memorized library of licks and riffs. Throughout their classes, they&#8217;ve absorbed and practiced these licks from a variety of sources in order that when it comes time to perform solo or lend a <a href="http://learntoguitarsolo.strumdog.co.uk/guitarimprovisationcourse.html" target="_blank">guitar improvisation</a>, they&#8217;re able to observe and apply what they have learned. Improvisation becomes easy as a result of they know tips on how to mix tunes on their gypsy jazz guitar.</p>
<p>No player can improvise without understanding their instrument and the way to craft the melodies together. When studying to play jazz guitar, you may&#8217;t ignore this necessary step. You do not have to be taught all of the scales. The truth is studying just a few scales like the major scale and the blues scale might be sufficient for lots of solos. Like if a lick in is filtered through the main scale, you will have mastered what makes a guitar participant a jazz guitar player.</p>
<p>Improvisations and solos are like a string of musical concepts that you&#8217;ve gathered alongside the way via your learning career. You will get these &#8220;musical ideas&#8221; by studying and mastering the scales, learning to key licks and riffs and by transcribing tunes that you enjoy. You may soon see your creativity and abilities take off!</p>
<p>The principle factor about jazz <a href="http://learntoguitarsolo.strumdog.co.uk/guitarimprovisationcourse.html" target="_blank">guitar improvise</a> is that you need to be taught all of the notes on each key, as this can assist your improvising abilities. Skipping strings will limit your creativity as you learn to master the technique.</p>
<p>Be happy to innovate and make the improvise clock ticking.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm going to list five all time classic guitar solos that influenced me when I was starting out. Do you have a list of 5 great guitar solos ? Let us know, we might publish you list as well.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have a favorite <strong>guitar solo</strong>? You know, one that sends a cold chill down the backof your neck? One, that for some unknown reason seems to fit the song so perfectly that you couldn&#8217;t imagine any other guitar solo being played in that song? I bet you have a few you could mention. I&#8217;m going to list five all time <strong>classic guitar solos</strong> that influenced me when I was starting out. See what you think.</p>
<p>&#8216;Something&#8217; by George Harrison &#8211; A beautiful solo for a beautiful song. I heard a story that the final solo used on the Abbey Road album was actually a mix of a few solos George had recorded. There is no doubting that he excelled himself on this song. It just goes to show that sometimes the simplest of licks will suffice. Thanks for the memories George&#8230;.</p>
<p align="center"><em><strong>George Harrison &#8211; Something</strong></em></p>

<p>&#8216;All Right Now&#8217; by Paul Kossoff &#8211; An absolute<strong> classic guitar solo</strong>!!. A composition within itself you might say. This solo features no right hand tapping, no full throttle speed licks and no wammy bar heroics. Instead we have a brilliantly constructed solo with a definite beginning, middle and end. Check out the way Paul gently pulls the listener in by using a couple of licks to introduce the solo and then builds up to a fantastic ending. This solo is a prime example of how to play a great rock solo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com"><img class="alignright" title="Learn to Play Guitar" src="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/imgs/guitar-classroom.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>&#8216;All Along The Watchtower&#8217; by Jimi Hendrix &#8211; Jimi plays Dylan. This is probably one of my all time favorites. This is one of those <strong>guitar solos</strong> that I really do not want to analyze. I just want to sit back, listen and enjoy. To be honest, there are many of Jimi solos I could have included in this but, to me, this one is simply outstanding. It&#8217;s one I never, ever tire of listening to. Each and every time it just blows me away. The whole feeling of this track is just amazing.</p>
<p>&#8216;Cliffs Of Dover&#8217; by Eric Johnson &#8211; This is a prime example of great technique being mixed with a great feel for the music being played. As with Jimi, there are many Eric Johnson tracks I could have chosen. I decided on this one because it was the first thing I ever heard Eric Johnson play. Back in the mid to late 80&#8242;s Guitar Player magazine included it as a freebie flexidisc in one of its issues. I loved it then and I love it now. If you haven&#8217;t heard this track check it out as soon as you can.</p>
<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m Goin&#8217; Home&#8217; by Alvin Lee &#8211; A song by helicopter! This is just plain old rock n&#8217; roll from the wonderful Alvin Lee. I&#8217;ve chosen this one because it was a big favorite of mine when I was first starting to play. It is raw, exciting, and it makes you want to play. I remember being knocked out by the sheer speed of Alvin&#8217;s fingers when I first heard this one. A gem from one of the greats.</p>
<p>Obviously there are many great solos I have had to miss from this list. Who could forget, Django Reinhardt&#8217;s &#8216;Nuages&#8217;, Larry Carlton&#8217;s &#8216;Kid Charlemagne&#8217;, Elliott Randall&#8217;s &#8216;Reeling In The Years&#8217;, Brian May&#8217;s &#8216;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8217;, Eddie Van Halen&#8217;s &#8216;Beat it&#8217;, Albert Lee&#8217;s &#8216;Country Boy&#8217;, Bert Jansch&#8217;s &#8216;Angie&#8217;, David Gilmour&#8217;s &#8216;Comfortably Numb&#8217;, Jimmy Page&#8217;s &#8216;Stairway To Heaven&#8217;, Steve Vai&#8217;s &#8216;For The Love Of God&#8217;, Eric Clapton&#8217;s &#8216;Sunshine Of Your Love&#8217;, Brian Setzer&#8217;s &#8216;I Won&#8217;t Stand In Your Way&#8217;, Mason Williams&#8217; &#8216;Classical Gas&#8217;, Jimi&#8217;s &#8216;Little Wing&#8217;, Chet Atkins&#8217; &#8216;Yakety Axe&#8217;, Scotty Moore&#8217;s &#8216;That&#8217;s All Right Mama&#8217;&#8230;etc&#8230;etc&#8230;.etc&#8230;<br />
The list goes on and on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/"><img class="alignright" title="Online Guitar Lessons" src="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/imgs/guitar-classroom.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="600" /></a>James Marshall &#8216;Jimi&#8217; Hendrix (November 27, 1942, Seattle, Washington – September 18, 1970, London) was an American guitarist, songwriter, and singer. He achieved worldwide fame in 1967, playing at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival before his death in 1970, at the age of 27.</p>
<p>A self-taught musician, the left-handed Hendrix played a right-handed Fender Stratocaster guitar turned upside down and re-strung to suit him. As a rock guitarist, Hendrix exploited the sonic tool of feedback and the sound of overdriven amplifiers to an extent that previous pioneers never achieved. He built upon the innovations and influences of blues stylists such as B.B. King and Buddy Guy, and derived style from rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield and Steve Cropper as well as from traditional jazz.</p>
<p>Hendrix strove to combine what he called &#8216;earth&#8217;, a blues, jazz, or funk driven rhythm accompaniment, with &#8216;space&#8217;, the high-pitched psychedelic sounds created by his guitar improvisations. As a record producer, Hendrix also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas; he was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic and phasing effects during the recording process.</p>
<p>Early in 1966 at the Cheetah Club on West 21st Street, Linda Keith, the girlfriend of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, befriended Hendrix and recommended him to Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham and producer Seymour Stein. However, neither man took a liking to Hendrix&#8217;s music and they both passed. She then referred him to Chas Chandler, who was ending his tenure as bassist in The Animals and looking for talent to produce. Chandler was enamored with the song &#8216;Hey Joe&#8217; and was convinced that he could create a hit single by remaking it into a rock song.</p>
<p>Impressed with Hendrix&#8217;s version, Chandler brought him to London and signed him to a management and production contract with himself and ex-Animals manager Michael Jeffery. Chandler then helped Hendrix form a new band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, with guitarist-turned-bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. Both British musicians.</p>
<p>After a number of European club appearances, word of Hendrix spread through the London music community. His showmanship and virtuosity made instant fans of reigning guitar heroes Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, as well as members of The Beatles and The Who, whose managers signed Hendrix to The Who&#8217;s record label, Track Records.</p>
<p>Hendrix&#8217;s first single was a cover of &#8216;Hey Joe&#8217;, crafted after folk-singer Tim Rose&#8217;s slower revision of the song and adapted to Hendrix&#8217;s emerging style. Backing the first single was Jimi&#8217;s first songwriting effort, &#8216;Stone Free&#8217;. Further success came with &#8216;Purple Haze&#8217; and &#8216;The Wind Cries Mary&#8217;. The three singles were all UK Top 10 hits. Onstage, Hendrix was also making a huge impression with fiery renditions of the BB King hit &#8216;Rock Me Baby&#8217; and an ultra-fast revision of Howlin Wolf&#8217;s blues classic, &#8216;Killing Floor&#8217;.</p>
<p>Although quite popular in Europe at this time, the Experience had yet to crack America. Their chance came when Paul McCartney recommended the group to the organizers of the Monterey International Pop Festival. This proved to be a great opportunity for Hendrix, not only because of the large audience present at the event, but also because the performances were filmed by D. A. Pennebaker and later shown in movie theaters throughout the country as the concert documentary Monterey Pop, which immortalized Hendrix&#8217;s iconic burning and smashing of his guitar at the finale of his performance.</p>
<p>Hendrix adapted the Howlin&#8217; Wolf blues classic &#8216;Killing Floor&#8217; into this wild and fast paced revision, and throughout the first year of his fame these became the first notes concert-goers would hear when witnessing a live Hendrix show. The set ended with Hendrix burning his guitar on stage, then smashing it to bits and tossing pieces out to the audience. The show instantly catapulted Hendrix into US stardom. Today, the charred remnants of Hendrix&#8217;s psychedelically painted Stratocaster can be found at the Experience Music Project in Seattle.</p>
<p>Hendrix&#8217;s popularity eventually saw him headline the Woodstock music festival on August 18, 1969. Although a number of the world&#8217;s most talented and popular musicians were invited to the festival, including The Who, Santana, the Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix was considered to be the festival&#8217;s main attraction.</p>
<p>Hendrix did not appear on stage until Monday morning, due to delays caused by bad weather and logistical problems. The audience, which had peaked at over 500,000 people, had been reduced to 180,000, many of whom merely waited to catch a glimpse of Hendrix before leaving. The band was introduced at the festival as The Jimi Hendrix Experience, but Hendrix quickly corrected this to Gypsy Sun and Rainbows and launched into a two hour set (the longest of his career) that was plagued with technical difficulties. Despite this, Hendrix managed to deliver a historic performance, which featured his highly-regarded rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, a solo improvisation which became a defining moment of the 1960s.</p>
<p>The controversial nature of Hendrix&#8217;s style is epitomized in the sentiments expressed about his renditions of the &#8216;Star Spangled Banner&#8217;, a tune he played loudly and sharply accompanied by simulated sounds of war (machine guns, bombs and screams) from his guitar. His impressionistic renditions have been described by some as anti-American mockery and by others a generation&#8217;s statement on the unrest in U.S. society, oddly symbolic of the beauty, spontaneity, and tragedy that was endemic to Hendrix&#8217;s life.</p>

<p><em>Ben Harper</em>, a native Californian boy was lucky to be raised in a house of musicians. At an early age Ben found his passion for acoustic slide guitar while exploring round his Grandfather&#8217;s guitar shop. This sound later would become his trademark style. As a young man he grew up listening to an eclectic range of music which included  blues, folk , soul, R&amp;B  and Reggae, which heavily influences his style of music today.</p>
<p>After some serious gigging in Los Angeles Ben developed his sound of  funky soul and folky singer/songwriter songs. In 1992  Ben got his break and signed  with the Virgin label which would later produce his debut album <strong>Welcome to the Cruel World</strong> in 1994.</p>
<p>With his honest  lyrical content, strong beliefs and ability to cover many styles <em>Ben Harper</em> managed to build a huge cult following round the World. He released a politically heavy album in 1995 called <strong>Fight For Your Mind</strong> , then later went on to release <strong>Will to Live</strong> which unleashed his new found backing band <em><strong>The Innocent Criminals</strong></em>. With a band that complemented Ben&#8217;s diversity in sound they would go on to produce their most successful album <strong>Burn to Shine</strong>.</p>

<p>After touring the World numerous times over Ben went back into the studio to record some of his most creative work in <strong>Diamonds On the Inside</strong> and later teamed up to release an album with the <em><strong>Boys Of Alabama</strong></em>. In March 2006 he released a double album called <strong>Both Sides of the Gun</strong> which featured 7th in the US charts, showing that his loyal fan base had grown with his intensive touring.</p>
<p>While <em>Ben Harper</em> may never make it into the Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll hall of fame he has been fortunate enough to open for some great acts, including, REM, Metallica, Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band. He has also released acoustic versions of songs form Marvin Gaye, The Verve and the great Led Zepplin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Billy F. Gibbons is the kind of guy that is irresistible to watch and hypnotic to hear when he’s on stage with his 1959 Gibson Les Paul electric guitar known to the blues and rock world as “Miss Pearly Gates.” Billy Gibbons, recognized also as “Reverend Willie G.” is the lead vocalist and guitarist for the band ZZ Top. While he has achieved his infamy through his music, he is also an ordained minister with license to perform weddings in 49 states. Anyone that would like to <a title="Learn to play guitar" href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/" target="_blank">learn to play guitar</a> like the Reverend ought to know that his distinctive sound is the result of using a quarter or a peso as a guitar pick and his masterful use of harmonics.</p>
<p>Billy Gibbons was born and raised in Houston, Texas and is touted to be one of the finest blues-rock guitarists to emerge from the state, alongside the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan. He had musical influences in his early years; his father, Fred Gibbons played the piano and gave him appreciation for classical and country sounds. The family’s Afro-American housekeeper introduced him to the blues.</p>
<p>In 1963 at the age of 13, Billy Gibbons received a Gibson Melody Maker electric guitar with a Fender Champ amp and commenced to emulate the new sounds of rock n’ roll bursting from the TV and radio through Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Jimmy Reid. Gibbons was favored while in his band, Moving Sidewalks by one of history’s all-time favorite guitarists, Jimi Hendrix. When the band folded in 1969 he pushed his way permanently onto the music scene when he hooked up with fellow Texans, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard of American Blues to form ZZ Top.</p>
<p>The band was named after the blues master B.B. King and was initially Z.Z. King. The band members shortly changed it to ZZ Top so it didn’t sound too much like their blues hero. Despite the fact that ZZ Top has sold in the range of 60 million records, one of the most memorable moments Billy Gibbons recalls was an early performance when he was relatively unknown.</p>
<p><em>“Perhaps one of the first performances where the curtain opened and we were greeted by the one paying customer of the evening. We looked at each other, and then launched into the show. Played the first set, took a break, went out and bought the guy a Coke and went back and completed the night. We&#8217;re still friends with the guy!&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p align="center"><strong>ZZ Top &#8211; Sharp Dressed Man</strong></p>
<p align="center"><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/0_EFdod4YDo&#038;hl=nl_NL&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/0_EFdod4YDo&#038;hl=nl_NL&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object></p>
<p>Many aspiring blues guitarists have attempted to mimic Gibbon’s eccentric style over the years but it can be frustrating to make it sound as good as the master. Fortunately for us, there is a guitar tuition program available that features Billy Gibbons breaking down his techniques into easy to follow steps. <a title="Learn to play guitar" href="http://www.guitar-classroom.com/online-guitar-lessons/index.htm">Online guitar lessons</a> give you the chance to begin practicing his famous blues riffs at a slow pace until you can really get going. Billy Gibbons followed some of the greatest musicians in the country while developing his unique style and now technology has made it a simple approach to learning from the genius that changed the course of music history.</p>
