Hard Rock Dictionary HARD ROCK DICTIONARY men•i•ket•ti (men i ket’ē) v. [origin: Bay Area] 1. to sing with a passionate, gutsy emotion; much emulated, never duplicated 2. a songwriter who writes with unforgettable hooks, unique melodies, catchy lyrics —n. 3. guitar player whose solos have rocked the world of rock and sent other guitar players cryin’ for their mamas —adj. Dave Meniketti—the name is synonymous with music—raw, hard-edged, melodic, soulful. His first solo CD ON THE BLUE SIDE received worldwide acclamation—particularly in Europe and Japan. His sophomore solo CD, the self-titled MENIKETTI revisits, as Dave says, his “melodic, rock-based roots.” From its first churning note on Messin’ with Mr. Big, Dave’s music grabs you. This is not background music. It pins your ears to the speakers and kicks you in the butt. It’s infectious, delicious rock and roll that satisfies the soul. In other words MENIKETTI is pure Meniketti. For the uninitiated, Dave Meniketti was born and raised in Oakland, CA where he has been an icon for guitar players worldwide and a Bay Area vocal and guitar legend for over two decades. Perhaps it is the diversity of the artists that influenced him as a kid (Hendrix, Coltrane, James Brown, Led Zeppelin) that is responsible for his varied expressions in both his singing and guitar playing. And what truly makes him admired by rock stars to the kid on the street. As the lead singer/lead guitarist with Bay Area Rockers Y&T, Meniketti has sold over 4 million records worldwide, recorded 17 albums and toured across the United States and around the world. His style has influenced some of the major stars in rock and over the years he’s been asked to join many top bands including Ozzy Osbourne and Whitesnake. When Y&T took a break from recording and performing, Dave wasn’t ready to hang up his guitar. After building his own recording studio in his home, he answered a primal call and recorded ON THE BLUE SIDE to quench his passion for the blues. Followed up with his pure rockin’ sophomore solo release MENIKETTI, this CD drives home the reasons why BAM Magazine christened Dave “a guitar hero in the classic sense of the term,“ and why the BBC calls Dave’s guitar playing “special…indeed.” If you haven’t spun this CD yet, put your leathers on and get ready to rock—you’re in for a good time. You’ve got Dave’s word on that and you can take that to the bank. CONTACT: Meniketti.com Email: [email protected] www.meniketti.com .

  • Summertime Girls” Returns on New Ultimate Collection from Hard Rock Pioneers Y&T
    1 “SUMMERTIME GIRLS” RETURNS ON NEW ULTIMATE COLLECTION FROM HARD ROCK PIONEERS Y&T “We were born and raised on this music; it’s in our bones. We look in fans’ eyes and it’s just as intense as before, with a lot of young people digging the whole thing.” --Dave Meniketti, Y&T Recalling another San Francisco Bay phenomenon, Y&T just may be the hard rock version of the Grateful Dead. One of rock’s most enduring acts and renowned for its live performances, loyal fans continue to champion Y&T even as its “Summertime Girls” still receives enormous summer airplay. Y&T: Ultimate Collection (Hip-O Records), released June 26, 2001, compiles 17 of the band’s best from the ‘70s to the ‘90s, each selection digitally remastered from the original tapes. Featuring the hits “Summertime Girls,” “Forever” and “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark” plus live performances of early classics “25 Hours A Day” and “Beautiful Dreamer,” the album was compiled with the participation of the bandmembers. The package also includes liner notes by former Heavy Metal editor Gerri Miller. Formed in 1974 in Oakland under its full name, Yesterday & Today, Y&T played a bluesy, heavy rock with strong melodies and enormous energy, songs not jams. Led by Dave Meniketti, a manic singer with big hair, Y&T became incredibly popular in the underground. One Oakland concert was shut down by the police before it began because of the crush of fans and the management company that showed up to see Y&T quickly signed the band.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Long Drop Goodbye by Jimmy Bain The story of Hear 'n Aid, the heavy metal Band Aid. Ronnie James Dio : [Jimmy and Vivian] noticed the lack of people from our genre of music in all of this and felt they’d like to pursue it. Vivian Campbell (guitarist, Dio) : We didn’t write the lyric – we said we’d get Ronnie involved. Ronnie didn’t want to know about it. He thought it was a distraction, because at the time we were doing the Dio record Sacred Heart. We left it a couple of weeks, and Ronnie obviously conferred with Wendy about it. She thought it was a better idea than he did, so he came back and said: “Okay, let’s do this.” Wendy Dio : Actually I think he just came round to feeling that the kids in Africa needed some help. Vivian Campbell : We had the music a hundred per cent complete, we just needed a lyric. Wendy Dio : Sure, they brought their idea to Ronnie… but Ronnie was definitely involved in writing the music as well as the lyric. Vivian Campbell : [Ronnie] would be insulted if you even suggested a lyric or a word or a title. He wanted complete autonomy. We knew it would be a lot easier to get it off the ground with Ronnie’s name and not just me and Jimmy. Wendy Dio : Hear ’n Aid had to be a non-profit organisation… We had to set up a board of directors, fourteen people, and all decisions had to be made by the board.

  • 50 Smoking Licks for Rock and Metal Lead Guitar
    50 Smoking Licks for Rock and Metal Lead Guitar Sample Excerpt By Paul Tauterouff and Nick Layton Get the complete version here: http://paultauterouff.com/50_smoking_licks.php © Copyright 2009 Paul Tauterouff/ 2009 Nick Layton. All Rights Reserved Introduction Licks are the building blocks of rock guitar soloing. If you listen to the soloing of a cross section of popular guitarists, you may notice that some of them use similar licks. This is because most guitarists use a combination of memorized licks and spontaneous improvisation when soloing. In essence, licks are a sort of musical vocabulary for guitarists. And as in speaking, the larger our vocabulary, the more clearly we can express ourselves. The benefit to you as a guitarist should be clear; a huge library of licks means you can say more while soloing without running out of ideas, repeating yourself and possibly boring your listeners. About the Licks: All of the licks are written in the key of E minor, so that you can easily master them in this popular key. Styles run the gamut from straightforward blues-rock "cliché" licks, licks in the style of some of our favorite guitarists, to some fairly unorthodox ideas. We have included patterns for the E Pentatonic and Natural minor scales to help you to more fully understand the licks, along with jam tracks in two styles; a slower ballad style track and a faster hard rock/ metal style track. In order to gain maximum benefit from this course we highly recommend you transpose the licks to other keys once you master them as written in E minor.
