    FREE BERT WEEDONS PLAY IN A DAY: (GUITAR) PDF Bert Weedon | 44 pages | 01 Jan 2008 | Faber Music Ltd | 9780571529650 | English | London, United Kingdom Bert Weedon obituary | Pop and rock | The Guardian The manual Play in a Day was the bible for generations of budding guitarists in the s and s. Its author was Bert Weedon, an unassuming dance- band musician whose unpatronising approach made him Britain's earliest expert on the instrumental niceties of rock'n'roll. Weedon, who has died aged 91, was among the first British musicians to incorporate into his style the innovations of American country and western, boogie and rock'n'roll guitarists. In the s, Weedon played on hundreds of recording sessions for most of the leading singers and bands of the era, including Alma Cogan, Dickie Valentine and Frankie Vaughan. He recalled that "you had to be so adaptable and flexible. For example, Winifred Atwell would want a honky-tonk approach, Russ Conway something light, while Frankie Vaughan would want something quite beaty and Ronnie Hilton something else again. He took part in more than 5, broadcasts during his career. It is difficult now to imagine the vehemence with which the musical establishment, from Sir Malcolm Sargent to Steve Raceexcoriated the records of Bill Haley and Elvis Presley and their effect on British youth. Weedon was one of the few experienced studio session players who wholeheartedly embraced rock, which he first heard when Stapleton procured a copy of Haley's Rock Around the Clock months before Bert Weedons Play in a Day: (Guitar) was issued in Britain.

This year’s version of North America’s premier touring guitar festival features guitarists from South America, Italy, England, and the United States. American “guitar poet” Brian Gore’s playing contains a “bounce and spaciousness all his own” (Los Angeles Times). He created International Guitar Night in 1995 and has released multiple albums and books on fingerstyle guitar. Italian steel-string guitarist Pino Forastiere fuses the classical, contemporary, and rock genres as he “employs a dazzling blend of slapping, tapping, strumming, altered tunings, and harmonics, combined with classical phrasing and a focus on distinct and addictive melodies” (Guitar Player). English fingerstyle guitarist Mike Dawes has developed a multifaceted repertoire of sound in his short but successful career, fusing Celtic, rock, jazz, and experimental music to create a product all his own. He has gained praise from artists like Gotye, Frank Turner, and Justin Hayward.

  • Buck Owens Obituary

    Buck Owens Obituary

    Obituary of Buck Owens: March 27, 2006 By: Dave Hoekstra Buck Owens was more than a voice in country music. He was an American metaphor for the clarion of possibility after The Grapes of Wrath migration to California. Alvin Edgar "Buck" Owens was a honky-tonk singer, a TV star -- best known for his role in "Hee-Haw" -- and an entrepreneur who owned radio and television stations in Bakersfield, Calif. He was a good soul, one who would fly from Bakersfield to Portland, Ore., as he did in March 2005 to surprise compatriot Merle Haggard, who was opening for Bob Dylan. The depth of the moment was understood. With Mr. Owens standing stage right in a resplendent brown and black cowboy jacket, Dylan took a chance on Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home." Mr. Owens died Saturday at home in Bakersfield. He was 76. On Sunday, CMT.com reported the cause of death as a heart attack. He grew old, but his songs never became tired. In recent years he stopped touring outside of California, but he still managed to capture a new generation of fans that included Dwight Yoakam, Steve Earle and the Bottle Rockets. In the late 1990s, John Soss of Chicago's Jam Productions held an annual Buck Owens birthday party at Schubas that featured artists as diverse as soul singers Otis Clay and Mavis Staples, and country-rocker Jon Langford. Mr. Owens crossed borders he never would have dreamed of as a child when he headed west with his sharecropper parents from the Red River Valley near Sherman, Texas.
