The absolute basics: Released on The White Album, written by George Harrison and Eric Clapton guests on lead guitar. This Cover Wars has been a long-time coming as I have started compiling it at least once in the [...]

Rolling Stone once wrote, " Using the line "And the wind began to howl" as a springboard, Hendrix constructed a tumultuous four-part solo that transformed Dylan's concise foreboding into an electric hurricane. Dylan acknowledged Hendrix's masterstroke: His subsequent versions [...]
Holy Smoke !! Thanks to Pandora I heard Monte Montgomery today. This guy is unreal, not only is he a fabulous guitar player but his arranging and vocals are phenomenal. I have not heard sounds like this from an acoustic guitar in a long time.
