performed the American National Anthem in this own way using electrical guitar to the audience. During the performance, the special sounds and effects created by his unique skills of that period as a guitarist were very powerful and impressive to make people feel the lyrics in other form of expression. In the medium part of the song, Hendrix played the guitar with several techniques, such as bending, vibrato-dive on harmonics, slide and flickering the bar to make sounds while using effects like…

House, and Robert Johnson. But the one that is the most well-known is Robert Johnson. Although he was considered to be the most famous of all the blues artists., his music was known years after for his incredible singing and guitar skills.

the rhythm section blending together. The trombone player was bright in his tone, worked the horn from the high register and down to the lower registered and had a good drive.

commotion, the rhythm becomes steady and the trumpet cries on top of atmospheric surroundings fed by recurrent bass slides and perplexing, multi-dimensional guitar innuendos. With the unbeatable spirituality of A Love Supreme in mind, “Ohnedaruth John Coltrane” pays a tribute to the legendary saxophonist by sustaining a sonic liquidity that encapsulates assertive unisons, scattered electric guitar spasms burning in multiple effects, penetrating wha-wha bass licks, and brumous drum assaults.

On Friday, July 10th, the local instrumental jazz group Yuma Jazz Company played at Lutes Casino for a couple of hours. The instrumentation was fairly standard for a jazz group, with trumpet, saxophone, guitar, double bass, and drums (I believe those were electric). The guitar and bass, along with the drums, served as a sort of basso continuo, generally backing the horns, but occasionally taking up the melody for themselves, resulting in a texture that was thinly polyphonic. Also noticeable was…

I was recently introduced to an extraordinary game, Guitar Hero for PS2. My friends and I each pitched in to buy it for eighty dollars at a local gaming outfit. Since then, there has been nothing but laughter, shouting, and squealing rock & roll emitting from their house. Guitar Hero comes in a package deal; it includes the PS2 game, a plastic guitar controller with strap, and a few stickers for accessorizing the guitar. Other guitar skins can be bought, and even personalized, on Ebay.com. The…

picked up the guitar, bass, and drums which later gave him the confidence to start making music. But why is Mac Miller so famous and special? Mac Miller’s biggest inspiration was the Beatles. His favorite Beatles member was John Lennon. “He thinks the best Beatle is Lennon, but he’s begun to appreciate McCartney’s softness as he got older.” Another of his inspirations was Big L. In his earlier work, he used to rap on boom bap beats.…

for a few days and then after class one day I asked him if he thought I should audition for it. Mr.Jones replied, “Yes Logan, I think it would be great for you to play guitar in this.” I signed my name onto the list of people that were auditioning, I wrote my first and last name and my instrument, guitar. I studied the music for countless hours and the night before the audition and that whole night I was restless.…
