MisterGuitar - The Official website of Chet Atkins.
Chet Atkins, c.g.p.
Bio Written by Bob Oermann:
One of the most striking things about the architects of the Nashville Sound is that their music has stood the test of time so well. Chet Atkins is one of those architects. The works of Chet Atkins have remained in print to touch era after era of music lovers with their freshness, spark and inventiveness.
Known as "Mr. Guitar," Chet Atkins is the most recorded solo instrumentalist in music history. As a studio musician, his string-tickling work has gilded the records of Elvis Presley, Kitty Wells, The Everly Brothers, Hank Williams and dozens of other Nashville legends. His style influenced such pop greats as Mark Knopfler, Duane Eddy, George Harrison, The Ventures, George Benson and Eddie Cochran, as well as thousands of country pickers. He has won nine CMA Awards as Musician of the Year, four Playboy jazz poll honors and thirteen Grammies, more than any other artist in the history of country music.
As the head of RCA Records, he propelled an entire generation of country stars to fame -- Dottie West, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton, Jim Reeves, Jerry Reed, Skeeter Davis, Charley Pride and Eddy Arnold were all signed and/or produced by Chet. He built RCA Studio B, said to be the most hit-generating studio in the history of Music Row. The name of Chet Atkins is synonymous with The Nashville Sound ...

Joe Becker:
Born on June 23rd, 1976 in Chicago Illinois, Joe had a pre-disposition for musicianship. His father, (Joe Becker Sr.) a musician who had several bands in the Chicago area since he was a teenager, gained some fame on Dr. Demento's radio show for the songs, "I saw Elvis" and, "Zip It" (A Morton Downy Jr. parody). Joe Sr. was also a Belushi family friend, so as a child Joe spent a fair amount of time at John and Jim's mother's house (Agnes). Needless to say, the gold records hanging on her walls had an impact.
Joe's uncle Ed Becker was in Spot and the Blotters who eventually released a 45 with, "Circulating" on the A side and "Soul Circle" [instrumental of the same song] on the B side. They called themselves "Spot and the Blotters" because the lead singer was black and the rest of them were white. They did alot of racial humor on stage, hense the intensity of their promo pictures.
[ NOTE : In the 60's, this was still kind of o.k. ].
Another uncle, Joe Kelly was lead guitarist in the Shadow's of the Knight who were best known for their 1966 chart topper, "G-L-O-R-I-A". Oh, and Uncle Ed was friends with Chicago's lead guitarist and founding member Terry Kath who'd sit in for him during Spot and the Blotter practices when there were scheduling conficts. It's family history like this that led to things like Ronnie Rice of The New Colony Six performing at Joe's wedding, dedicating their chart topper, "I will always think about you" to the new couple after the ceremony.

Neil Zappa:
With fiery technical brilliance and breathtaking musical interpretation, Neil Zaza has defined himself as the instrumental guitarist with an unparalleled ability to combine solid, catchy songwriting with a keen melodic sense and technical fury.
From his virtuoso rock solos, to laying a funk groove, to his demonstrating his classical prowess by performing Bach and Mozart compositions, Zaza's extreme versatility has been showcased worldwide in concerts, clinics, festivals, as well as on his own solo instrumental CDs.
Neil’s latest CD, “Melodica” once again showcases his ability to meld his technical guitar mastery within his melodic compositions. Neil further pushes the sonic boundaries with “Melodica” by incorporating samples and loops with his trademark guitar playing.
Zaza's CD "Staring at the Sun" finds Neil in great company with Steve Smith and Ross Valory (Journey), Stu Hamm (Joe Satriani), Michael Lee Firkins, as well as fellow Peavey endorsee, drummer Robin DiMaggio. "Staring..." finds Neil delving deeper into his trademark "singy" melodic style of guitar-playing, while at the same time harnessing and tastefully exploiting his explosive chops.
In December, 2002, Neil debuted his double volume holiday CD, “One Silent Night Volumes 1 & 2” at the famed Palace Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio with the backing of the 60 piece Cleveland Rock Orchestra. December, 2004 will see the return of Neil’s “One Silent Night…” show to Playhouse Square’s Allen Theater on December 11th.
2003 found Neil and his band co-headlining South Korea’s Busan International Rock Festival, where he played to an enthusiastic crowd in excess of 15,000 fans ...

Smooth Jazz with Patrick Yandall, in San Diego, California. Premiere musician with a sound and flavor all of his own. Unique, vibrant, fresh and versatile.
Over the years, Patrick Yandall has built a enviable reputation as the consummate working musician. But, to quote Patrick, "recording (my own) albums is truly what I live for". The San Diego based guitarist recently released From the Ashes, his fifth solo cd. The project is dedicated to all the families that lost their homes in the fires in and around San Diego just last year. Yandall himself was forced to evacuate although his home was spared. Hence the title of the album. With the support of several top-shelf players, including Scott Wilkie, Joel Rosenblatt (Spyro Gyra), Kimo Cornwell (Hiroshima), Randy Brecker, and Jason Weber; Yandall delivers what is arguably his most consistent and finest effort to date ...
