April is International Guitar Month
Did you know that April was International Guitar Month? I admit I didn't until a few days ago.
To celebrate, today we’ll feature eight great players in different musical genres and their famous guitars. And over the next four weekends, each one, plus a few other legends, will get a day where we’ll play some of their best music.
Jimi Hendrix and his left-hander Fender Stratocaster
Eric Clapton with Blackie
Jeff Beck playing slide on his Oil Can guitar
Blues legend Buddy Guy with a polka dot guitar
B.B. King with Lucille
Jazz legend Wes Montgomery with his guitar, Bruno
Robert Johnson with his Gibson L-1 flat-top acoustic
George Benson with the guitar Ibanez made specially for him
Tomorrow and Sunday we’ll feature some of the tunes that made Wes Montgomery and George Benson famous.
