GEORGE HARRISON – What Is Life (lyrics included, 1970)

‘What Is Life’ is a song by George Harrison and is the first track on side two of his 1970 solo album “All Things Must Pass”. It was released as the second single from that album in the United States on February 15, 1971 with another album track, “Apple Scruffs,” as the B-side.
The song was written for Billy Preston in 1969, but Harrison decided not to ask Preston to record the song during his “funky” phase, seeing the song as too much of a “catchy pop tune”

“All Things Must Pass” is a triple album by George Harrison, recorded and released in 1970 after the break-up of The Beatles. The first triple album by a solo artist, the original vinyl release featured two LPs of rock songs, while the third LP, titled “Apple Jam”, was composed of informal jams led by Harrison with musician friends and famous musicians.

And some of George’s words: “It goes without saying that it has always been a pleasure to have my old friend Ringo playing drums, along with Klauss on bass, Billy Preston on piano and a few friends I had in the process of making: Gary Wright and Gary Brooker” and the final note: “Last but certainly not least, the amazing Mr. Phil Spector, who producced so many fantastic records in the sixties. He helped me so much to get this record made. In his company I came to realize the true value of the Hare Krishna Mantra. God bless you Phil”.
GOD BLESS YOU SWEET GEORGE!!

Clifford Lee “Cliff” Burton (February 10, 1962 — September 27, 1986) was an American musician, best known as the bass guitarist for the American thrash metal band Metallica. He was a great bass innovator, one of the earliest bass soloist.

My arrangement based on two Metallica`s songs: “To live is to die” (interlude), and tribute to Cliff played live in Seattle (1989) by Newsted, Hetfield and Hammet. Equipment: 7string Conklin, Boss Loop station, Zoom effect.

MichaelJackson’s guitarist Orianthi Best Videos HD

Album Description
At 24 years old, Orianthi has already experienced what most aspiring musicians only dream of. She’s opened for her hero (STEVE VAI), backed an Idol (CARRIE UNDERWOOD), traded solos with a legend (CARLOS SANTANA) and shared the stage with the King of Pop (MICHAEL JACKSON). What’s left to conquer? The world stage, for one, and this guitar wunderkind has her sights clearly set on the road ahead.
After a performance with CARRIE UNDERWOOD on stage at the 2009 Grammy Awards the blogosphere was buzzing with news of this little-known guitar prodigy. It prompted MICHAEL JACKSON to call with an offer for her to be his guitarist for his dates at the O2 Arena in London. When offered the gig in MICHAEL JACKSON’S live band, Orianthi joined a prestigious line of guitar players including EDDIE VAN HALEN, SANTANA, SLASH, STEVE STEVANS, JENNIFER BATTEN and LARRY CARLTON. Sadly the tour was not to be and music lost an icon. “Working with Michael was a life-changing experience,” Orianthi reflects, “One I will never forget.”

Her story starts in Adelaide on the southern tip of Australia where, at the age of six, Orianthi began taking an interest in her dad’s record collection. “Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Cream, Santana. he was into guitar players that are real songwriters,” she boasts. Growing up in the 80s, a decade remembered for its many guitar greats, Orianthi also listened to a lot of Whitesnake, Van Halen and Def Leppard. Her father, who used to be a player in a Greek band, also kept plenty of instruments around the house, and it didn’t take long before Orianthi strummed her first chord. Mastering the six-string came naturally.

“When I was 11, Carlos Santana came to play Adelaide and that show really affected me,” she recounts. “I begged my dad to get me a second hand electric guitar so I could be like Carlos, and that was it, no more acoustic. After that, I would buy all of Carlos’ videos – on VHS! – which I kept rewinding to try and learn his solos. I totally wore out the tapes.”

Some seven years later when Carlos Santana passed through Adelaide again, Carlos’ brother arranged a sound-check meeting between the guitar god and his young disciple after hearing some of her music. A sound check jam evolved into an invitation to join him on stage where Orianthi played for about 35 minutes and took a solo in front of a hometown crowd. Performances, tours and guest appearances with STEVE VAI, ZZ TOP and PRINCE have kept Orianthi busy up to this point.

But guitar is far from Orianthi’s only means of expression. Before she received the call from the King of Pop, Orianthi had already been hard at work on her upcoming album, Believe, on which she sings, writes and leads her own band. Working with Geffen Records Chairman and A&R veteran Ron Fair and producer Howard Benson (All American Rejects, Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace) her fierceness of character has made its way to songs that will simply knock the socks off of any boy in the rock star schoolyard.

Orianthi packs modern girl-power punch into every turn of phrase, but it’s the shredding that takes her brand of rock to an entirely new level. Songs like “Suffocated” and “Think Like A Man” are anthemic rock tracks recalling at time Evanescence, Avril Lavigne, Paramore and even a less-music row more-sunset strip Taylor Swift. First single “According To You” is a catchy tale of an ungrateful boyfriend with a killer guitar solo. The result: a thunderous, hook and riff driven debut that sounds larger than life. If, for a moment, you’ve thought the music world could use another taste of The Runaways’ Joan Jett, let us introduce you to Orianthi.

Beat It Solo Tutorial

Beat It Solo Tutorial
Eddie Eddy Van Halen
Michael Jackson Guitar Lesson

HERE IS MY ORIGINAL BEAT IT SOLO COVER VIDEO:

Hey everyone. Sorry, this tutorial isnt very in depth. I had to cut out so much of it in order to fit YouTubes 10-minute limit (hence the frequent cuts). It began as a 20 minute tutorial. Ive never posted a lesson video before, and I did most of the sections in one take. I know I had trouble finding some words that I was searching for, so Im sorry! I hope you can understand what Im trying to say.

I know there are other awesome tutorial videos out there, so like I said, this is a video that kind of fills in the gaps between those videos. It focuses heavily on tap harmonics and the tricky second tapping section. It is geared towards players with an advanced technique and skill level. Much of this will test your ear strength, as I dont entirely explain what notes to play. Dont forget to rewind the video and watch the tricky parts over and over again! If you have any more questions, please post a comment.

So yeah, I hope you learned what you came to this video to learn. Some of you are here to learn how to play this solo, while others of you are here to learn whether or not I can actually play guitar. Regardless of what your issue was, I hope this video helped resolve it.

If you’d like to keep in touch, I’m always on twitter:
