It's all about the guitar tonight. I'll kick things off with a few of my favorite pickers and shredders. First is Ron Asheton, best known for his work with The Stooges. The way he played feedback was a full throttled assault. Next is Johnny Winter. No one shredded a guitar like Mr. Winter or made it sound so raunchy. Then there's Johnny Thunders, who got his start with the New York Dolls. Thunders didn't just play his guitar. He made it laugh, holler, snicker, growl and smirk. Can't forget Link Wray, "the father of the power chord". Link released 'Rumble' in 1958. It was the only instrumental that was ever banned on the radio. Guess some folks thought teen-age boys would start acting like hoodlums if they listened to it. As for my very favorite guitar slinger, that would be Hubert Sumlin, best known for his work with Howlin' Wolf. Always loved the way Mr. Sumlin made those strings pop. Kinda like this... In the mood for a little piano or maybe some horns? That's fine. It's always an open thread at The Triple V so just play some good tunes. Recommend!
