Title: The Student(Kirk Hammett) Vs. The Master(Joe Satriani) 2
Description: A video comparing the guitar solos of kirk hammett and joe satriani. just before Metallica was to record its first album, Kill 'Em All. At the time Hammett was taking private guitar lessons from now famous Joe Satriani..Hammett is one of the better-known students of guitarist and instructor Joe Satriani. In 2003, he was ranked 11th in the Rolling Stones "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". Joe "Satch" Satriani (born on July 15, 1956, in Westbury, New York, U.S.) is an American guitarist and former guitar instructor. His self-released debut album, Not of This Earth in 1986 opened the way to a world of instrumental rock music in a pop-dominated world at that time.[1] Influenced heavily by Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck,[2] Joe Satriani often incorporates a warm sound of guitar with a dominant blues and rock tone. Since 1990, he has used his own signature guitar, the Ibanez JS Series, which is widely sold in stores.[3] Joe Satriani also has a signature series amplifier, the Peavey JSX. In 1988, Joe Satriani was recruited by Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger as lead guitarist for Jagger's first solo tour.[4] Later, in 1994, Satriani was also asked to be a lead guitarist for Deep Purple which he ultimately turned down due to contract issues.[2] Satriani has also worked with a wide range of guitarists from many styles, including Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, and Robert Fripp through the annual G3 Jam Concerts.[1] G3 is an almost annual live music show and concert tour featuring three select guitarists of the generation; hence its name. It was created by guitarist Joe Satriani in 1996. Since its inception G3 has featured many guitarists including: Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Robert Fripp, Paul Gilbert, Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker, Adrian Legg and many other special guests, including Tony MacAlpine, Johnny Hiland, Steve Lukather, Steve Morse, Chris Duarte, Andy Timmons, Neal Schon, Gary Hoey, Brian May, Billy Gibbons, Johnny A, George Lynch, Patrick Rondat, and Eric Sardinas. Metallica is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1981.[1] Metallica has become one of the most commercially successful musical acts of recent decades, and are considered one of the "Big Four" pioneers of thrash metal, along with Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth. The band has sold more than 90 million records worldwide,[2][3] including 57 million albums in the United States alone.[4][5]

Title: Montreal Jazz Festival 2007 California guitar trio
Description: Montreal Jazz outdoor concerts About the trio With a whirlwind of instrumental styles fusing classical, rock, blues, jazz, world music, progressive, as well as the quintessential California musical genre surf music, the California Guitar Trio's stunning virtuosity and sly sense of humor have earned them a rabid following and wide notoriety, with significant crossover in the progressive, acoustic and classical music scenes. Notably, CGT music was featured on the television coverage of the 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 Olympics, and also on CBS, NBC, CNN, and ESPN TV programs. The CGT performed on the 2003 Grammy Awards nominated track Apollo on Tony Levin's CD Pieces of the Sun; and CGT music was sent into outer space as wake up music for the crew aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavor. Over the past 14 years of nearly incessant touring, the California Guitar Trio has shared the stage with superb musicians and performers such as: King Crimson, Jon Anderson, John McLaughlin, John Scofield, Tito Puente, Taj Mahal, Peter Rowan and Tony Rice, Dark Star Orchestra, Leftover Salmon, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Steve Lukather, Simon Phillips, David Sylvian, Adrian Legg, Kaki King and many more. Paul Richards of Salt Lake City, Utah, Bert Lams of Brussels, Belgium, and Hideyo Moriya of Tokyo first met in England at one of Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft Courses in 1987. After completing several of these intensive courses, the three toured worldwide with Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists. Wanting to continue working together after the League had run its course, Bert, Paul and Hideyo convened in Los Angeles and founded The California Guitar Trio in 1991, honing their intricate original compositions, surf covers, and classical re-workings. Since their inception in 1991, the Trio has released 11 CDs: six studio CDs featuring original works from the CGT and a variety of classics such as Bach's "Toccata and Fugue" and Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Four live releases that show the trio at their best onstage, and a Christmas CD with familiar and not-so familiar Christmas music, which continues to receive rave reviews. In August of 2004, the CGT released Whitewater produced by Tony Levin (King Crimson/ Peter Gabriel). With shimmering clean acoustic sounds blended with ambient and pungent electronics, Whitewater is a benchmark CD in the CGT's catalog. Featuring mainly original works of the CGT, offset by a puzzle work arrangement of a Bach lute suite and a unusual version of the Cowboy classic Ghost Riders, the CGT have clearly arrived at a new level. ****** While growing up in Utah, Paul Richards was greatly influenced by the musical interests of his older brothers. His early interest in rock and blues quickly broadened to include jazz, classical, progressive, acoustic, world music and more. At age 21, he traveled to England to attend the extended Robert Fripp Guitar Craft courses where he soon met Bert Lams and Hideyo Moriya. After several years of living in England, Los Angeles, and Argentina, Paul now resides in Salt Lake City. Born and raised near Brussels, Belgium, Bert Lams is a graduate of the prestigious Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. Originally a rock guitarist, he has extensively studied and taught classical guitar -- and possesses a particular affinity for J.S. Bach and music influenced by the American Old West. Over the past 16 years, Lams has resided mainly in Los Angeles, and also spent several years in Wiltshire England and Santa Fe New Mexico, and has recently relocated to Pennsylvania. A native of Tokyo, Japan, Hideyo Moriya began playing guitar at age 12 by emulating the Ventures' 1960s-vintage surf guitar style, and his favorite English rock bands. He came to America in 1982 to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and by the mid-1980s had enlisted in Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft courses. When not touring the world with the CGT, Moriya resides in his Tokyo hometown.

Title: Helvellyn
Description: Helvellyn is one of the high peaks of the Lake District in the north-west of England, and I used to roam around there as a teenager - over 45 years ago. The summit is reached by either of two narrow paths, each with a fairly sheer drop on either side, known as Striding Edge and Swirral Edge. It's an exhilarating place to be in summer or winter and, though not particularly high as mountains go, is dangerous enough if not crossed carefully. Pics in the video are by courtesy of Tim (Zhukov101) and, if you want to see Helvellyn in its various guises, go to: http://www.stridingedge.net/Wainwright%20Fells/A-L%20fells/Helvellyn.htm In this tune, I've tried to evoke the changing moods of Helvellyn by creating what Adrian Legg would call a "built" melody, with multiple tracking. I play keyboards, guitars and bass. I was going to use an electric guitar for the overdriven sound, but found that my little Martin did OK with the right pedal... http://www.mjra.net/WillFly/ If you like DIY music and good companionship, why not take a look at the "Front Porch" discussion board.
