Sammy Hagar… Gibson Red Rocker Guitar!

Sammy Hagar talks about his Red Rocker Les Paul.



Jose Feliciano – Flight of The Bumble Bee – Guitar

Amazing, half way along he throws away the pick!
I have total respect for him. His style is awe inspiring.

From the video comments….
1966: Jose at 20 here DROP the pick on purpose and continue in flamenco/classical style; Feliciano the incredible blind guitarist and plays this in one of the first his apparence in a tv Usa show… onlyone can do!

He was blind from birth. and he can still play the guitar amazingly.

Also recorded and part of the his first album in 1964: “The Voice and guitar of”, now part of the cd compilations called “The Passion of JF”

This video is dedicated to many music “experts” reviewer, managers, record companies, music magazines, radio Djs and other guitar “experts” then over the decades has destroyed and laughed his career, described ever Jose, his music, virtuosity and arts never what really He is and deserve.
So Thank You, We and music world in all these decades has miss a genius, his arts and true virtuosity for fault of these “experts”: Thank You again.

This is super funny, a little bit of the Frozen Northland. Minnesotans for Global Warming (M4GW)
Now available for download! http://tinyurl.com/yzjlmy7
I saw “The Who” perform Baba O’Reily (AKA Teenage Wasteland) for the halftime show at the Superbowl and was inspired to do this parody in honor of the horrible winter we’re having. It’s called “Frozen Wasteland” and in it I try to recreate the synthesizer part on the banjo. The Viking hat is in honor of the Vikings’ great season.

Lyrics: FROZEN WASTELAND Up here on the farm We chop wood To stay Warm We all could use some Global Warming We all need to fight To preserve our rights I don’t want to be taxed a just for breathing Open your eyes Don’t believe their lies It’s just a Frozen Wasteland Al Gore is a liar His pants are on fire Plus he’s getting rich from carbon offsets He’s loose with the facts All he wants is a tax Lets get together Before it gets much colder Frozen Wasteland Its just a Frozen Wasteland Frozen Wasteland Frozen Wasteland WE’RE ALL FROZEN!!



Les and Chet

Birth of the blues was posted yesterday with the mega stars Johnny, Sammy, Dean, and Frank.
Now see the Wizard of Waukesha Les Paul and Mr. Guitar Chet Atkins play the song on Guitar.
This is Magic.

Les Paul starts with “Birth of the Blues” and Chet Atkins joins in.



Return of Jerry’s Breakdown

I don’t know who this guy is, but he has the song down. I’d like to see more of the fun that Chet and Jerry put into it. But this is a SOLID performace. Now I have to see what else he has on his web page.

This earns the placement here — the homage to Chet and Jerry at the end is very nice.

His notes from the video

My cover of this great song. And its also a humble tribute to Jerry Reed (RIP) and Chet Atkins (RIP), two of the best guitarists ever. This song was included on “Me & Chet” album (1972).

Here is the original



Mark Knopfler & Eric Clapton – Sultan of Swing

Mark and Eric

True they own their styles, but combined they make a great blend of Guitar Mastery. I can’t get enough of this kind of stuff. Classic Sultan of Swing. Yeah, it is 10+ Minutes long, but worth the whole thing.



Classical Gas – Guitar

If you close your eyes you would never know that this is a YOUNG KID playing this. He is still a favorite to listen to, and I will listen to this often. Just posted last week, it is amazing. Thanks Sungha Jung, keep posting.



Rocco Deluca live at the Gibson Showcase

VIMBY interviews Rocco Deluca at the Gibson Showroom in Beverly Hills, CA.

Not REALLY Alternative Rock, more blues and classic sound. I love the way his music feels. Very cool stuff. I need to hear a lot more of him.
