Video For This Months Rock Guitar Roundup August 2018

Just in case this is your first time viewing one of our roundups. We split this post into different sections. First up are any videos from around the world of rock guitar which have published on Youtube. Anything that takes our eye is here!

Interesting split screen video which has got a pretty good cover version. Need to see the players face at some point though.

Into funk guitar? It’s not rock, however, we don’t have a funk guitar roundup so we wanted to add this here. It’s well worth a view.

This guy obviously takes his AC/DC very seriously although his computer messenger bleeping doesn’t really help keep the image going…

It was a little thin on the ground for good rock guitar videos this month, but we’re rounding the videos of with a cover of “Wherever You Are” by Hendra Kurniawan with some tasty playing on offer.

Graded on a Curve: New in Stores, August 2018, Part Four

New in Stores, August 2018, Part Four By Joseph Neff | Published: August 23, 2018 Part four of the TVD Record Store Club’s look at the new and reissued releases presently in stores for August, 2018. Part one is here , part two is here , and part three is here . NEW RELEASE PICKS: Ohmme, Parts (Joyful Noise) Chicagoans Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart are both trained classical pianists, but for their first album as Ohmme they choose to focus upon rich vocal harmony and guitar crunch. What they and drummer Matt Carroll put together (with assistance from hometowners Doug McCombs of Tortoise, cellist Tomeka Reid, and saxophonist extraordinaire Ken Vandermark) is solid and occasionally splendid, displaying confidence and range that’s rare in a debut. In a better world, the hooky opener “Icon” would be a huge pop hit, but stuck in this reality, the whole of Parts , experimentally edged while essentially inhabiting a pop-rock zone, is improving my existence considerably. From the title track: “I don’t like little things touching my face. Graded on a Curve: New in Stores, August 2018, Part Four

Review & Track Premiere: Superfjord, All Will be Golden

Review & Track Premiere: Superfjord, All Will be Golden [Click play above to stream ‘Master Architect’ from Superfjord’s All Will be Golden . Album is out Sept. 21 on Svart Records.] A given listener will finds their own sonic touchpoints in the colorful melange that is Superfjord ‘s second album and Svart Records debut, All Will be Golden . My ears turned immediately to the line from opener “Cut and Paste” that asks, “Don’t you know happiness is a gun?” in a winking nod to The Beatles , but certainly there’s plenty of Pink Floyd , Hawkwind , and many others in there as well, including the Helsinki outfit’s likewise shimmer-minded labelmates in Death Hawks .

The Stars Align Tour featuring Paul Rodgers, Jeff Beck, Ann Wilson, Deborah Bonham

This slideshow requires JavaScript. Photos by Arnie Goodman The “Stars Align Tour” aligned itself with the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, and did not disappoint, perhaps with one exception. With a bill such as this you might think there would be interplay at some point during the show with all or some of the headliners involved, but was not the case. That said, it did turn out to be an evening of splendid, perfectly-played music, almost as if you tuned to your favorite FM classic rock radio station for a few hours. First up was the unannounced Deborah Bonham, who came on stage a half hour before the scheduled starting time of the concert. Strong voiced, personable, and quite the rock and roll singer, this woman (the sister of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham) earned a standing ovation at the end of her short set.

Before Jimmy Page was a bona fide guitar god with rock giants Led Zeppelin, he was but a young upstart trying to make a living as a studio musician in London. And over the course of the 1960s, he’d record rippin’ guitar solos and chilling textures for the crème de la crème of the British Invasion groups, and later for the stars of the psychedelic London sound. Here are the 13 essential tracks featuring guitar work from Page, in descending order. 13.

Fans react to Lynyrd Skynyrd gutar player Ed King’s passing and more.

I’ve just found out about Ed’s passing and I’m shocked and saddened. Ed was our brother, and a great Songwriter and Guitar player. I know he will be reunited with the rest of the boys in Rock & Roll Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sharon and his family. -Gary Rossington

Thank-you Ed King.

Thank you for your one of, if not the, the greatest guitar progressions ever written.
