Andreas Kisser: lead guitar player of sepulture.
Andreas Kisser was born on the 24th of August 1968, in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil.
The young Andreas started to play guitar at the age of thirteen and grew up learning to solo like his heroes Steve Howe and Randy Rhoads ...
Nascido no dia 24 de agosto de 1968, em São Bernardo do Campo (S.P.), Andreas poderia ter sido mais um a incorporar a lista de simples guitarristas com pouco, ou nenhum, reconhecimento no cenário da música pesada.
Porém, esse descendente de alemães, não apenas se tornou um renomado guitarrista no circuito do ABC (nas bandas Esfinge e Pestilence), como se transformou num dos melhores guitarristas do mundo.
Andreas começou a tocar quando tinha treze anos. Ele começou tocando MPB para pegar os acordes básicos no violão. Violão que até hoje mostra-se presente na vida do nosso Guitar Hero!
Depois de trabalhar a parte de ritmos, Andreas mostrou-se interessado em aprender a solar como os seus heróis, como Randy Rhoads e Steve Howe. Ele começou tirando todas as músicas de ouvido.

Depois de passar pelas Bandas Esfinge e Pestilence (onde chegou a cantar), algo de muito importante estava para acontecer. A grande mudança ocorreu quando ele, mais alguns amigos, decidiram ir para Belo Horizonte (MG) no final do ano de 1986 ...
James Taylor's musical reliance upon nuance and subtle feeling would make it seem that he is a bad fit for generally impersonal large venues, but his ability to project those qualities to sizable audiences has always served his material well.
Friday night, he opened his summer tour at the ctnow.com Meadows Music Theater in Hartford, and lavished an abundance of his still-potent mellow charm on a captivated audience with a classy, first-rate performance.
Taylor's brand of showmanship is stylistically earthbound, understated in ways that allowed him to glide nonchalantly into his program with the supple "Secret O' Life," a lightly ringing synthesizer accompaniment married to his lone acoustic guitar. The mood set, he brought on his full seven-piece band and three backup vocalists and eased into the airy, flute-edged bounce of "Summer's Here."
Taylor was accommodating enough to sign autographs from the stage during the show, but not so slavish to fan desires that his set list was predictable. He left out several notable songs from his catalog, "You've Got a Friend" among them, opting instead for the less obvious, idyllic storytelling of "On the 4th of July" and a chipper, soulful cover of the Dixie Chicks tune "Some Days You Gotta Dance" ...
Steve Hackett's career has been an on-going love affair with music. Over the last 24 or so years has continued to amaze and delight both his fans and his critics with the breadth and depth of the music that he has produced.
It began with various bands in which he was very much a session player - Canterbury Glass and Sarabande to name but two. Steve's first foray into the world of recording came however, when he joined the band Quiet World in 1970. In a recent interview he recalled the circumstances in which the album came to be recorded ...
This album, titled 'The Road', was released in 1970 by Dawn Records and was also reputedly re-issued by that label in Japan.
Steve's career with Genesis has been exhaustively covered elsewhere however it would be inappropriate not to say something about his time with that most influential and enduring of seventies superbands.
Steve joined in early 1971 as a replacement for founder member Anthony Phillips when Peter Gabriel answered his ad in Melody Maker ...
Pat Donohue:
From swing to jazz to bottleneck blues to folk, Grammy-winning acoustic guitarist Pat Donohue plays it all with a flourish of artistry and melodic inspiration. Chet Atkins called Pat one of the greatest finger pickers in the world today; Leo Kottke called his playing “haunting.”
Pat is certainly one of the most listened to finger pickers in the world. As the guitarist for the Guys All-Star Shoe Band of Minnesota Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion, Pat gets to show off his savvy licks and distinctive original songs to millions of listeners each week.
His decade-long association with Garrison Keillor’s popular program has led to some unusual gigs: There was the after-show club date in Berlin, when Wynton Marsalis showed up to sit in with Pat and the Prairie Home band. Or playing music on camera for the Prairie Home Companion movie with director Robert Altman and stars Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Kline, John C. Reilly, Woody Harrelson and Tommy Lee Jones.
Besides the weekly radio broadcasts, Pat plays about 30 concerts a year nationwide and teaches at such popular music camps as Augusta Heritage Center and Rocky Mountain Fiddle Camp ...
