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.

“Mecano – Hijo de la luna” instrumental on classical guitar
Dec 19, 2009 jam videos
Read me?
I once heard this song covered by a girl ‘Loona’ from the netherlands but I think its originally a ‘Mecano’ song.
Just heard the song (now that Mecano-version) and played it, I have no tabs, sorry.
But this might help:
Basically you can play the song in ‘a’ like this:
Intro and verses (very simple):
a-G-F-G
Bridge (give it some try):
a-G-F-G a-G-C-D
Chorus (perhaps not that easy at first):
e-D-C-H
e-D-C-h7
e-D-C-H
e-D-C-h7
(ahaha ahaha…)
e-h7-e-D-C
(hijo de la luna-aa…)
F-G-a
If you like singing it like Mecano, use a capodaster (is it called ‘capodaster’ in english? I’m not sure. I’m from germany) and transpond it 4 semitones up (a becomes cis , but with the capodaster you play like a. thats all the trick).
Anything I’ve forgotten?
Any tips against possible mistakes in my english texts? 
Just let me know.
And please don’s ask for tabs.. just try out a little and have fun playing… thats the best advice possible I think…
Please share your opinion!
And of course, you can use this video as a backing track to sing on it. Please post it as a response afterwards and I’ll look forward to hear you sing.
Be sure to visit this link:
It’s Nynke21 singing with this instrumental as backing track. I think, she’s very talented and I like her singing a lot!
Also be sure to subscribe to my channel, since more videos will follow, also non-covers.. I have some funny ideas of what needs to be played with the guitar…!

TOM MORELLO TRICKS #2
Oct 25, 2009 hybrid picking
Morello is famed for his guitar style, which consists of blues, heavy metal, and punk hybrid riffs and funk/hip hop-inspired sounds. His guitar playing is also characterized by heavy use of guitar effects, such as delay, modulation, wah, harmonizers, distortion, feedback, and others in unique ways and combinations. The most recognizable effect in Morello’s arsenal is the Digitech Whammy, which helps him create many of his sounds.
Critically acclaimed, he is said to use the guitar in a unique and imaginative way; rather than just plucking the strings, his maneuvers include toggling between two pickups – one on and one off – while rubbing his hands on the strings over the pickups; uses the bridge pick up (his signature vinyl scratch effect used in “Bulls on Parade”). He also uses techniques such as rapidly hitting a pencil on the strings (“Cochise”, although he now emulates the sound by “baby-tapping” the strings), scraping an allen wrench on the strings for a whole song (“People of the Sun”) and even tapping or scratching his pick-ups and strings with his audio jack cable.
To assist in his alien guitar sounds, Morello chooses various effects pedals. During his tenure in RATM, he used a Dunlop Cry Baby, a Digitech WH-1 Whammy, a Boss DD-2 Digital Delay, a DOD EQ pedal (used to boost the volume during guitar solos), and an Ibanez DFL Flanger. Around the time of The Battle of Los Angeles he added a Boss TR-2 Tremolo pedal (which can be heard on “Guerrilla Radio”). For Audioslave, Morello replaced the Ibanez Flanger with a MXR Phase 90. His amplifier of choice has always been a 50-watt Marshall JCM 800 2205 and a Peavey 4×12 cabinet. Though the Marshall is his amp of choice with Rage Against the Machine, he used a Vox AC30 combo amplifier to record multiple tracks on Audioslave’s ‘Revelations’ album. While the Marshall amplifier has two channels, he only uses the overdrive channel, and simply turns down the volume on his guitar to get cleaner sounds.
In the studio, Tom uses the same setup for the bulk of the guitar tracks. For The Battle of Los Angeles, he also used a few other amps, such as a Line 6 as heard on the clean, spacey intro of “Mic Check,” plus a Pignose mini-amp and a MusicMan “Twin” style amp.[18] Morello has used several guitars throughout his career, two of the most well-known being branded “Arm the Homeless” and “Soul Power”, with “Arm the Homeless” available to play in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. He also uses an acoustic guitar called “Whatever It Takes” for his performances under the alias The Nightwatchman.
