Troy said that this is truly one of the coolest songs of all time. The bass part kills him.

Cool indeed!

Laura Chavez Rocks

Okay Kids, it was always our intent to turn you on to new and exciting guitarists. This one is even more fun for me because this is my guitar teacher. She is a true talent and, well I don't have any talent, not a drop. I am Steve Martin sitting on the front porch of the cabin trying to keep time. My friends David and Jeff are also taking lessons. This only proves that Laura can not only rock, she is a patient sole for putting up with old farts who want to grow up and be rock stars.

Laura can be heard playing acoustic with the also incredibly talented Lara Price and is part of The Lara Price Band. Check them out at:
Lara Price Band on MySpace

Laura will also be jamming with the most entertaining:
Candye Kane and The 2008 Blues Caravan on tour in Europe in January and February

HENDRIX at Woodstock

Couldn't wait another week, just needed to hear Jimi

Richard Thompson

2007-12-08T17:19:00.001-08:00

Had to put Richard up here on the site. Went and saw him live last night.... Wow, he is so incredibly talented and passionate. He did an all request performance where people filled out little strips of paper with whatever request they liked. As you can imagine people took this a bit too far. Someone asked him to sing the ABC song. He hung in there and plowed through it all. I couldn't believe his guitar skill. No wonder he is in Rolling Stones the top 20 guitarist list.

Here is one of his most popular songs: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. I really like this link because it looks like he is sitting in his hotel room.

I am including the following link to his recent anti-war song. I do not have the same philosophy about the war but I think the overall tone, feeling and voice of the song supports the individual soldier. It was incredible to hear it in person.

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Note: Dad= Bagdad, Alibaba = Iraqi people , HumV Frankenstein = Armor Plated HumV

Michael Hedges

David from San Jose, CA wrote in to say that Andy McKee reminded him of the late Michael Hedges with the melody and the guitar as percussion instrument. Good ears, there are strong similarities - both incredible talents

Check back next week - it is time for a little electric in our lives

This site is created by Zoltan and Johnny B to open guitar players eyes and ears to something new and different from around the globe. Johnny started putting a unique set of musicians together to keep his music fresh and interesting. Together we want to share it with others in the hope they share some back with us.

It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Before there is imitation there has to be a spark / inspiration. With music, inspiration can be the difference between a good a great song.
