So what did Albert King do that other guitarists didn’t? Being a left handed guitarist he actually plays a right handed guitar flipped upside down, which means unlike conventional left handed guitarist who need to re-string the strings on a right-handed guitar, or play a left-handed guitar, Albert’s guitar actually has the thinnest “E” on [...]

After writing about the street guitarist Stefan Joubert I couldn’t help writing about Eric Mongrain whose playing style in the following video resembles that of Stefan’s but Erik’s style seems flawless. Erik Mongrain is a professionally recording artist from Canada and is hailed as the next Michael Hegdes. Erik has beautiful hands and fingers and [...]

I already reviewed his album “Monsters and Robots” on my great-anonymous-albums.com but this is the first time I am making a mention of him here. The two videos of Jordan (one actually doesn’t play and only the audio is heard) have already crossed a millions views each. First check out the song and then watch [...]

It’s been quite some time since I made a post here. It is the end of January 2009 but here’s wishing you all a vary Happy New Year. Every time I make a fresh start to play I am demoralized when I see these kids play but if you are a beginner you shouldn’t be. [...]

Guitar One magazine rated him the No.1, fastest shredder of all time. Ambidextrous Michael can play both right handed and left handed guitars. But that’s not all he can also cross hands while playing, i.e switch the stumming/picking hand and the hand that holds down the string(s) that form a chord or when playing a [...]
