Gotg AWESOME Music

Hello awesome friends,

here we are again to speak about the music of guardians of the galaxy.

Indeed this movie which came out this summer has the

best music in a movie since a long time.

The music used is basically 70s-80s music.

With soft rock,pop,funk or soul-music they impose a pretty light and joyful

atmosphere.

For instance there is a scene where they are escaping a prison and this song

comes up : Escape (pina colada song)

I am not going into details for each songs but here is the playlist. Therefore you can discover as I did the joy of the 70s-80s-songs:

 GOTG playlist

These songs remind me how loud the recent songs have become ( I am talking about the most popular ones). Today's music has loud basses and harsh rhythmic but it is nice sometimes to look back to those songs which are lighter and set up a different more peaceful atmosphere. Let me know what you think!

Bye bye 

punk ROCK

Hello my awesome friends,

today I'm going to present to you punk rock.

It stands in opposition to progressive Rock or Metal who I already spoke about.

In fact they want to detach them from the new direction with the hard rock etc.

The punk rock Bands want to return to the simplicity of rock.

They talk about a punk revolution.

Globally it is short and quite fast songs. Generally the voice is noisy and they are sometimes shouting.

Rooted in garage rock it emerges with the band Ramones (70s) from whom band I doesn't know much.

Then there were the well-known Sex Pistols and the Clash who made Punk rock really popular.

Later Green day, the Offspring and Blink 182 evolved the Punk music by making pop punk songs. The reunion of pop and punk is really interesting.

The Philosophy of this music is to reject virtuosity so that even people with not much musical skills could express themselves with music. Generally the voice is noisy and they are sometimes shouting.

Today I am not giving you some songs you should hear because I'm really not very fond with punk rock. On the other hand I find pop punk quite good. I prefer virtuosity and very long songs like in progressive Rock; so you should check out that post.

Let me know, how do you feel about this kind of Rock and give me good arguments for why it's good or not.

Bye Bros

ONE of THE guitar-LEGENDS

Hello my awesome followers,

I'll talk today about one musician in particular. On awesome guitar-player who all guitarists already know. I am talking about Joe Satriani.

                                                     source wikipedia

Born in 1956 he grew up with jimmy Hendrix as an idol. Then in 1986 he started his career as a world-class guitarist. He became famous very quickly, playing as a solo-guitarist in many different places. He was the guitarist of Deep purple for a few moments, an awesome hard rock band, which i command you to check out! But he stayed alone doing many collaborations, working with bands like Dream Theater for instance.

He has also his own Ibanez-guitar series. How cool is that?

Satriani is well known for mastering all kinds of guitar-techniques. His variety of play-styles really defines him. He uses legato, two-handed tapping and arpeggio tapping, volume swells, harmonics and extreme whammy bar effects. He also developed his own style, also influenced by fusion jazz and blues. He is recognisable.

Some of my favourite songs are :


- I believe (for the amazing intro)

- crying (because of the amazing round sound of his guitar)

- Surfing with the alien ( just a masterpiece)


He also had the initiative to organize the G3 where 3 guitarist play together. Many good guitarist already participates with an awesome result. I invite you to check that out. G3
