Country Guitar

I know the title doesn't sound like it should fit in my blog, but it is perfect for it.  Country was really the first genre to start putting a huge stress on guitar.  Mainly because artists would play acoustically and sing.  After about 10 years, rock music started leaning on the guitar leading the pack.  This made a huge impact on rock for years to come and even now.  The actual "Country Guitar" is a Gibson 580.  It is varied in many ways, but all guitars still have some tie to the guitar.  Country guitar shaped rock music drastically.

The Band that Almost Faded.

  On February 19, 1980, the lives of many changed.  The people that got hit the hardest were the band members of AC/DC.  Their lead singer had passed away.  Bon Scott was an amazing singer, with his famous quote, "We just want to make the walls cave in and the ceiling collapse. Music is meant to be played as loudly as possible, really raw and punchy, and I'll punch out anyone who doesn't like it the way I do." AC/DC was quick to find a new singer. Filling in in 1981 was Brian Johnson.  He had a depper, more crackly voice, but the band loved it.  Ever since the vocals change AC/DC has just gotten more popular.  "They are a band and a show," said one of the reporters for Rolling Stone.  Angus Young just makes you feel that much better about yourself.  I feel AC/DC will continue to be big for a long time.  Brian Johnson will continue to amaze us.

Noah "The Cover Man"

YouTube is a truly amazing device for people to get known.  Millions of videos are uploaded every day.  This is how I saw Noah.  He did a cover of a Coldplay Medley, and I was hooked.  All though he is not well known, he is making his way up in life.  Every Thursday he comes out with a new cover.  He usually tends to choose Folk/rock/pop songs.  For many years to come, he will still inspire me and millions of more people.
