About Eric Clapton

Image
this mister Eric Patrick Clapton is one of the greatest guitar player. a solo artist, and was a member of the Yardbirds and Cream. what i really know about him isn't much, but it's more than enough for me to acknowledge his achievements. his ability in guitar playing and song writing has inspired a lot of people beyond his generation. for the very first time i heard his voice through his song "wonderful tonight", i was a 12 years old kid, knew nothing about anything but that song lasts on my mind. it's like an introduction to mature and stylish love, a decent young gentleman who loves his gorgeous girl with all his nerve and adoration. it has catchy blues guitar licks which made any guitarists want to try it. for me, " Wonderful Tonight " is like a guidance to prom party which will help any young man to get his girl in stylish and decent way. next song which came to my ears is "tears in heaven" when i was in senior high school back...

Orianthi, as "Girl-Guitar" Combinations Can Be

Image
First news i heard about Orianthi was when Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, less than three weeks before his "This Is It" concert date. The curiosity about the king of pop legend had lead the world to the new name, Orianthi Panagaris. This is very interesting when i was reading all stuff about the shocking news, Orianthi was very-well prepared to be a new hot stuff. As a young girl with guitar, she was serious. Her instrumental song, The "Highly Strung" was very eye-catch stuff as you can see, i embedded the video here, Steve Vai is on her video. Yes, one of world guitar extraordinaire was collaborated with Orianthi. But not only that, her video "According To You" is one thing, too. What interested me was using PRS Guitar. what a nice choice for female guitar shredder. Actually she has her own signature SE model.

get yourself some fine guitar

Image
as the very first post, this is the best recommendation for anyone who want to play guitar. well, I've been playing for several years and I'm still looking for the most suitable guitar for me. for my very first guitar is an acoustic guitar. some considerations when you choose a guitar on the internet are too difficult to understand by people who know a little about guitar, so i made some simple points for you to think about. - choose your favorite song(s) and find out stuff about them. the song themselves are representing your taste of music . the song you learn will be your influence for your guitar playing. if it is played by acoustic guitar, you may find playing an acoustic guitar would be fun and beautiful; you choose the natural sound and it suits everywhere in the world. Or, if it is played by electric guitar, yes, there will be more fun in exploring various sound and style of playing . you might know some popular guitar virtuoso with their distinctive music. ...
