Stories - Brother Louie


This group had an awesome song on the hit charts. It seems like one of those groups that just get one crack at the hit charts and then fade away.

Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs


I remember my guitar friend telling me about this musician who plays similar to Jimi Hendrix's style.

Beatles - In My Life


Somehow over many years of hearing their songs, i somehow had missed this one. I came across the tune around five years ago or so.

Kansas - Dust in the Wind


I grew up with this group on the radio. Sure is interesting to actually see the band doing the song live! If i ever had a visual of the lead singer, i would not have been correct with this one.

Gary Moore - Red House


I was looking for the song done by another artist when i found it done by Gary Moore.

Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun


This song goes back to my days in Grade 9. I met a classmate who played guitar and introduced me to the rock scene. This was one the stars at the time.

Deep Purple - Child in Time


Deep Purple was another band from my Grade 9 era. I use to own the Machine Head album. I could play a bit of their tunes on the guitar as well.

Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water


This song played on the radio quite a bit when it came out!

Zac Brown Band - Devil Went Down to Georgia


This was one of those songs where it was so cool to see the band actually perform it!

Best Guitarist

Santana - Guajira


Two Santanas??? I remember Santana's early songs and thinking that because of his special Latin sound, he would likely go very far in the music world and that came true over the years. I have one of their first albums on a DVD and all the songs were terrible! I don't feel too bad when i am still learning to play the guitar years later!

Santana - Black Magic Woman


This was such a catchy tune and still is. I will have to find a How to Play it video on youtube.com and learn it. So many songs and oh, so little time.
