Guitar Awesomeness

Ray Vaughan-Little Wing. Little Wing was written by the late Jimi Hendrix, and originally had vocals, but SRV did it instumentally. I consider this the pinnacle of guitar composition and hope, in several years, to be able to play it. At the end he starts playing Third Stone From the Sun, another cool Hendrix tune, and the first recorded jazz-rock fusion song. It's a miracle his guitar stays (relatively) in tune through all the hard playing and whammy bar abuse.


Erik Mongrain-PercusienFa. Erik Mongrain demonstrates lap tapping, using harmonics and open-tuning. Really cool.


Van Halen-Eruption. Eddie Van Halen demonstrates shred and fingertapping techniques. Yes, the drummer really needs a shirt.


Yes, you've all heard Pachelbel's Canon in D on piano, but what about tapped on two guitars?

Oh NO! Abe is copying Adam!! Abe, your blog is starving. 3 weeks without food would have a child very malnutritioned. And your blog isn't even a year old yet, is it? What if it dies? Or starves to death? :p
