“I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin”

Bad Moon Rising – Apocalyptic words and a happy melody. #MusicisLife #TedTocksCovers #CreedenceClearwaterRevival #JohnFogerty

Every time I hear the line “I hear the voice of rage and ruin” I ask myself where are we headed? I feel as though we are in the midst of a hurricane. Then I consider the mindset of John Fogerty, 55…

In this video, Guitar Pilgrim teaches many things. The one that took me by surprise is that I have been playing an A chord all wrong. Oops! Guitar Pilgrim is the best at teaching guitar ideas and techniques in a thoroughly entertaining way.

Usually I would not post anything so soon by the same presenter on the same topic; but this video was posted at YouTube a few minutes before I shut down my computer for the day yesterday. This video, then, defines "new."

GUITAR PILGRIM
TEN TOP GUITAR TRICKS

Top 10 Tricks Great Guitarists [Use]
Guitar Pilgrim

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IYi9lBQjtg

Guitar Pilgrim is bright, personable, and talented. He gives the most interesting demonstrations and explanations of guitar techniques that I have ever seen and heard. He posted this terrific video just six days ago.

Giving credit where credit is due, it was my friend and old University of Maine (Class of 1970) roommate, Gary Olsen, who first pointed out Guitar Pilgrim to me.

Here is my pitch for a guitarist, no longer with us, who is not often named among the greats but it seems to me should be. Artie Traum. Artie was a fine acoustic guitar picker. His brother, Happy Traum, says Artie was the best cross picker he ever heard; and with Happy Traum's background, that is saying a lot. Where Artie really excelled, though, is with chording. He was a master of selecting chords and, in some cases, making them up. He had his own names for some chords because they were not previously recognized. Sad. When I started putting in hashtags, hashtag Happy Traum was already in use but hashtag Artie Traum was not. Artie deserves a lot more recognition than he has gotten.

BRYAN FERRY
"DON'T BE CRUEL"

BRYAN FERRY - DON'T BE CRUEL - GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT - 2001
Roxysiren

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3XmjVG7wGQ

Part of the reason for listening to this is the novelty of hearing the front man of Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, singing "Don't Be Cruel." The accompanists are an even greater attraction: - Scotty Moore on lead guitar, Mark Knopfler on rhythm guitar, D.J. Fontana on drums, Ian Jennings on bass, Jools Holland on piano, and Chris White on saxophone. Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana are very well known for playing with Elvis Presley. Mark Knopfler has been very well known since his days with Dire Straits. No doubt a splendid time was had by all. The various artists album, "Good Rockin' Tonight," is excellent and well worth having.
