There are no translations available. Hey, This is the first in a series of blog posts where I will feature some great guitarist that are all inspired by bluesguitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. First in line is Kenny Wayne Sheppard. Kenny Wayne Shepherd started teaching himself guitar at an age when most kids are still focused on recess and lunch boxes. And he was just thirteen when New Orleans bluesman Bryan Lee brought him onstage to showcase his innate talent and already precision honed chops. Four Grammy nominations, two Billboard Music Awards and millions of albums later, life came full circle when Shepherd and his band assembled several generations worth of blues legends, including Lee, at the House Of Blues in Chicago, captured for posterity on the brand new Live In Chicago album.
In this next video you see Kenny Wayne perform his song "Blue on Black".
It's very remarkable that this guitarist started out playing at a very young age, altought there are a few guitarist (Joe Bonamassa for example) that achieve great succes from a young age. You'll find the website of this great guitarist at www.kennywaynesheppard.net
With these short blog posts I hope you discover some great blues guitarists. This is my way of paying tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan, as he inspired so many of us guitarists. If you like me to include a bluesguitarist that you like in these blogposts, please let me know here.
Thanks, Antony |
