Happy to be named and shamed. the number of times someone has come up to me and said " you MUST know this song, everyone does" is just incredible. 
As a mostly Beatles guy, with some Robert Johnson and the odd Stones tune thrown in, I now play what I like, not what others would like me to play. Might have upset my good lady wife (she loves AC/DC's Rosie) but that's tough. IMHO, If you dont like the song you cant put the feeling into it to make it sound like it should. |

Seeing as you asked (or, "stuck your size 10s in") Mike; some gratuitous re-use of the "Tokai is Coming" ad is always welcome. In an ironic, "Gosh, what were they thinking?" kind of way, naturally  |

It's part of the reason I gave up reading Guitarist magazine because they were obsessed with it. Apparently you had to own a copy of John Mayall's Blues Breakers featuring Eric Clapton (the Beano album), otherwise you coudn't call yourself a real guitarist. In the end I bought a copy out of curiousity. It's not that great.
And when they weren't harping on about the debt we owe to the blues then it was all hair metal guitarists that I'd never heard of, and the likes of Yngvie, Vai and Satriani. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
My guitar heroes came out of the punk movement.
All I know of Stevie Ray Vaughan's work is that he played guitar on David Bowie's "Let's Dance" album.
And if that's not shocking enough for you, I don't like or rate Eric Clapton either. |
glw, just been through this months edition of 'Guitarist' and not and old blues player article in sight, just a blues lesson, total of half a page, and written by Nevil Marten of course. |

you really want me to count??
melbourne based 'black cab' in there, but they dont mention the D word,
'Trivium' a metal band from Florida, wrong side of the states for the D word, but the lead guitarist looks 12 yrs old.
Give it another try, im sure you will be hooked again, and this month has 'Comftably numb' tabbed out, and their transcriptions are always spot on.
Dude. |

| Blimey, what's with all these big spaces? You could've driven a Gary Moore, held-pitch-bend note through that one. Well, a bit of it. |
