These amps are the tried-and-true favorites of most electric guitar playing musicians on Earth today.

Although it’s not a term that can be applied to many guitarists, as a “solo flatpicking instrumentalist,” David Grier has few peers. He has been one of bluegrass’s premier guitarists since his debut album, Freewheeling, appeared in 1988, but his solo album I’ve Got the House to Myself (2002) was arguably the first to display the full range of his talents.

Handwired-Effects has announced the VTR-1 Vintage Tremelo. VTR-1 was designed to re-create the natural smooth swing of the tremolo-equipped tube amps from the 50’s and 60’s. This pedal is sine wave based and offers slow pulse-like throbs to deep hypnotic vibrato without producing distortion even when hitting the strings hard.

The '70s references come fast and furious in the music of Citay. Gleaming, double lead guitars soar in tandem in a way that screams Thin Lizzy or Queen in 1975. But the way those guitars wander into long instrumental stretches hints at the expansive style of "Blow By Blow"-era Jeff Beck. At the same time, there's an orchestral sweep to the arrangements that casts the memory back to the work of Mike Oldfield circa "Tubular Bells."

The short answer, perhaps surprisingly, is yes.

Their sound has firm roots in the extemporaneous beat of 20-year-old drummer, Ginger Baker. But what has made Cream rise to the top is the mindbending styles of guitarists Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce. Twenty-two year old Eric, whose lead guitar unwinds on top of the staging provided by Jack and Ginger, has been called one of the best artists of his kind in the world—by such guitarists as Mike Bloomfield and Jerry Garcia.

Thinking about adding improvised Wes Montgomery-style chord lines to your arsenal? Technically, when considering the material that a performer plays, there are no mysteries: we can analyze, understand, transcribe, and explain everything. What is not so easy to get a grasp on is the part of the performance that has to do with creative flow, evolved personal style, and those things that spring forth from the spiritual well.
