Sweeping Harmonic Chords: There are almost endless ways to play harmonics on the guitar. The basic concept is to play a string or strings while lightly touching exactly at a fraction of the string such as the halfway point (or 1/3 or 1/4 of the string length). Any manner that you can 1) touch the string exactly at that point and 2) activate the string on either side of that point (either by striking, plucking, bowing, or tapping on that point) will produce the harmonic ...

Peter White: guitar player:
I was born in 1954 in Luton, about 30 miles north of London, England. My parents already had a son- John, so I was the second-born in the family. Soon after, my sister Michele arrived, and the whole family moved to the nearby town of Letchworth Garden City, where my father had spent his youth. It was the first planned city in England, where every house had a garden - thus the name, Letchworth Garden City. (I'm not absolutely certain of this, but it sounds plausible!).My younger brother Danny was born a few years later- one of my earliest memories was of my mother returning from the hospital with our new baby brother.
My father encouraged me to play music- I started on the recorder, then the piano, guitar, clarinet, cornet, trombone and violin. I had lessons on all these instruments, except for the guitar. I had to learn on my own. I was about 8 when I first started playing the guitar and I learned by putting my fingers in different positions on the strings and listening to how it sounded. I always liked the low strings and that’s all I played for the first few months. Soon the Beatles burst onto the English music scene and I learned to play the opening riff to “Day Tripper”. For this you only have to use the bottom 3 strings so it was well within my ability. I was really excited when I saw the film of the Fab Four at Shea Stadium on our little black and white TV set. They were singing, playing and sweating, and the girls were screaming. Even at that early age it seemed I knew just where my future lay. And I noticed that they were playing all 6 strings on their guitars. I had some work to do! ...

5. Robben Ford
Robben Ford: In the 1960s, long before pop artists were backed by the generic, computer-based accompaniment that is commonplace today, singers often recorded with formidable house bands, including Booker T. & the MG’s and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. The former band came together at Stax records in Memphis, laying down timeless grooves on hits by artists like Otis Redding, Albert King, and Carla Thomas. The latter group—based in Muscle Shoals, as well as New York and Nashville—enhanced such classic tracks as Aretha Franklin’s “Respect,” Wilson Pickett’s “Mustang Sally,” and Paul Simon’s “Kodachrome.” ...
