What comes to mind if I say New Orleans and The Meters? I am sure you will say Funk! That is what Leo Nocentelli did, created The Meters and since then played the most funkiest guitar riffs. You probably have heard the hugely popular “Cissy Strut” or “People say” by The Meters, if you are […]

Adrian Belew
History and future of guitar! Any King Crimson fans out there? I consider myself lucky enough to have heard KC when I was only 12, thanks to my sisters boyfriend. He was into Prog-rock and he introduced me to Rush and King Crimson on the same day. I have to admit that it was a […]
Andrew Winton
I don’t know about you but listening to a well played lap slide-steel guitar always makes my head spin. My feet start stumping on the floor and it gives me shivers… and It also makes me want to play like that!!! Have you heard of Andrew Winton? He is an Australian musician who performs in […]

They […]
Carlos Santana
Who doesn’t know Mr. Carlos Santana? Lately I’ve read several comments on the Internet about Carlos Santana, some of them not very positive: “… I am tired of his playing”, “He hasn’t innovated”, “He plays the same thing,” blah blah blah! I definitely respect everyone’s opinions but I also think that people who say these […]
Fender Elvis Kingman
The only guitar fit for a King! Who watched the movie Clambake? (1967) Perhaps not many of you did… I didn’t, but as soon as I found out about the new Fender Elvis Kingman guitar, I went straight to Youtube and found what Clambake was about! Fender built the King guitars for the first time […]
B.B. King
On September 16, 2011 B.B King turned 86. He has been playing the blues since World War II and he is one of the greatest guitarists who have ever lived. This is the first part in a series that is being made here at Jamorama about the players who have influenced the way we play […]
