Brian May stated: "There's not a guitarist in Britain from my generation who doesn't owe him a great debt of gratitude. In November 1976, Weedon made number one, for one week, in the UK Albums Chart with 22 Golden Guitar Greats, a compilation album of guitar solos released on the Warwick label. People come up to me after shows and at social functions – even in supermarkets and petrol stations. B B plays almost exclusively single note runs and reportedly takes a copy of Nicolas Slonimsky's Thesaurus Of Scales And Melodic Patterns with him to practice from. He made regular appearances on television, and a string of solo singles made him the most famous guitarist in the country; he was perfectly placed to take advantage of the birth of rock'n'roll.

Highly regarded for his versatility, Bert's glittering career has been a strong influence on virtually every famous guitarist. With sales to date totalling around 4 million, Play in a Day is the world’s biggest selling guitar tutor and it’s never been out of print. Play in a Day sold more than a million copies and many a youngster was able to learn to play the guitar as a result. We are approaching the anniversary of his death (April 20, 2012) and I have a horrible feeling that we didn’t make enough of Weedon while we still had him.Presents 100 piano arrangements including "Air on a G String"; "Barcarolle"; "Blue Danube"; "Cradle Song"; "Espana"; "Fur Elise"; "The Lost Chord"; "Moonlight Sonata"; "Morning"; "O for the Wings of a Dove"; "Post Horn Galop"; "Sheep May Soflty Graze"; "To a Wild Rose"; "Tritsch-tratsch Polka"; and, "Wedding March and Zampa".

I bought this book after reading an online interview with Jimmy Page (LedZep), who said it was a big part of his formative learning as a youth. The introduction to Play in a Day claims that "this book will enable the reader to play the guitar up to a standard suitable for playing in a jazz, skiffle, or dance combination". To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Its purpose is to provide a taster, which will enable the learner to progress to a basic standard and then move on.Well, I have a couple of LPs signed by Bert himself and of course I too started with 'Play in a Day'. If it won't go there we learn to accommodate our failings until, after thought and practise, a tuneful and painless compromise is reached. Well, in response to Nick's B B King vibrato challenge, I haven't played that particular style since about 1969 when, armed with a Hofner Club 60 (yes, the very same make that Weedon endorsed) complete with a "BLUESKING" logo that I stuck on the raised pickguard after seeing something similar in a photo of B B (I was just a young kid after all), a couple of friends and I would jam on B B King favourites such as "Rock Me Baby" on a Saturday afternoon before heading off to the school disco.

It also provides an excellent chart covering all of the strings [if you are learning notation] and their fret positions and a separate chart showing the open string notes. Wishing to better myself, I went to medical school and left the other two to play music in pubs etc. The Cure wrote a short instrumental, The Weedy Burtons, which featured as a hidden track on their debut album Three Imaginary Boys in 1979. Play in a Day is easy to use and includes plenty of tips for selecting the right guitar, the correct amplifier, how to hold your instrument, and plenty of exercises and tunes to play!

His name is B B King and I just happen to have in front of me a 1993 copy of Ralph Denyer's The Guitar Handbook open at a photo of B B. I was stunned to discover fairly recently that this is still in publication, though in slightly different guise from the copy I had in October 1963. Bert Weedon could only claim one Top 10 hit in his career but his influence could be heard on countless No 1s, not least through his best-selling guitar manuals. However, I do know of a player who died 2 or 3 years ago who was the absolute undisputed master of the particular style and technique you refer to.
