Guitar God Video Archives - From Guitar God Fridays.
For thise of you who have discovered the blog we've started a little tradition called Guitar God Fridays!
And this page has the great honor to host the archives of every Guitar God that grace our electonic pages.
For the moment you'll find quick links below to each of the Gods.
(oh yeah they're in the order that we posted them).
Jimmy Hendrix
Okay, we've decided that as of today onwards, every Friday, we're going to be bringing you a Guitar God playing one of their famous works of art, or simply just showcasing their amazing talents...
Were thinking of adding a short bio with some trivia and links for further info..
We plan on showcasing every guitar style, but as you know musical taste is subjective, and no one person's knowledge is complete, so if we seem to be missing out on amazing players/solos comment and lets us know!
So who's get's the Honorary first Spot?
Jimmy Hendrix of-course!!!
I'm not not going to do a bio on this god of guitargods (just yet)
If you want a quick rundown - click here
But what we do have is a little bit of a treat!
We've got 3 clips.
Being in a mellow mood I thought we'd start with Hey Joe, it's one of his shorter clips but not only is it a killer song, YOU HAVE TO WATCH HIM PLAY WITH HIS TEETH.
...while chewing gum....
For those just starting out, this may not be a technique you want to try at the start ;-]
For the next clip I thought you might enjoy hearing the man himself speak - A rare interview with the great Dick Cavett!
And Finally for the next clip we've got a clip that is a sort of mini Bio Doco - Warning! its 9 mins long but well worth watching.
Have great weekend everybody, Happy Strumming!

Stevie Ray Vaughn
Welcome to the Second Installment of Guitar God Friday. This week we've got yet another dead legend (we'll try to get to Clapton before he dies). In order to create some sort of flow to the proceedings, we thought we'd honor Stevie Ray Vaughn, because not only is he most definitely a Guitar God (Rolling Stone ranks him as the 7th best guitarist of all time). But also because some say that he embodied Hendrix's skill..... Stevie was also a massive fan, and would always put a Hendrix Cover as a track on each of his albums.
So without further ado, lets watch Stevie talking about Jimmy!
So there you have it... just throw Jim Morrison into the dream as the lizard king, add Wayne and Garth and you've got the makings of Waynes World 3 (working title WW3).
Ahem.
Am I digressing again?
Sorry.
Next up is Stevie Ray Vaughn doing justice to Jimmy Hendrix's Voodoo Chile.
Nice huh?
Next up, in the interests of those of the younger persuasion, I thought i'd include someone you all may know (he's still alive!), passing comment on the late great SRV.
Ladies and gentle persons i give you John Mayer.
Second Last is a bit of treat - S R V talking guitar styles, drugs, Stevie Wonder and a sort of guitar lesson - well worth watching!
And last but most definitely not least one of Stevie's own masterpieces Texas Flood.
That's it for Stevie, if you want to find out some more about the superstar,
