The Who Rocks On

 I was so psyched  to see The Who in concert last Monday, unfortunately it was canceled because of a sudden illness for the singer Rodger Daltrey. Much like The Rolling Stones, he may be older but surely he can rock as the band has prepared a huge concert trip throughout North America.
  The concert in Los Angeles was going to be supportive to teen cancer research. This event had upset many fans but with an illness such as viral meningitis we can only wish the best for both this singer and band.

  The reason I am blogging about this is because on my record player I was listening to the "Who Are You" vinyl and thought how close this band really is. Many great rock bands have split apart and gone their own ways over time such as "The Beatles", however the unique sound of The Who has bounded them together since the times of 1964.
 

(Rodger is on the left in the blue, Keith has the band logo on his shirt, and Pete Townshend in the white coat.)

The bands only separation really is the unfortunate situation of death. Rest in peace to both John Entwistle and Keith Moon. (The bass and drum players). Hopefully the singer feels better soon and even though they may be gone, John and Keith still allow The Who to have the exquisite sound many remember today, whether it's the insane guitar solos, or fast pace of their songs. Music lives on.

Seven Nation Electricity

This is my red squire electric guitar. It has such a smooth loud sound and is easy to carry.

Starting out on rock book one, I am an enthusiastic owner of a sick squier electric guitar. I have become so fascinated with the sound of a guitar. In many Coldplay songs I listen to I remember the parts where the guitar has a solo, or leading position, such as in the song "Violet Hill". Anyways I do not want to bore you, let's continue.
  My mom originally wanted me to play acoustic guitar (noise wise) but I was really gravitated towards the electric and now once a day I blast the amplifier in my room and have at it. (Sorry mom)..When I was dropped off at Guitar Center  I came with my father's acoustic guitar but half way through playing it, the guitar became untuned and the strings were all breaking off. My mother looked into the end of the lesson and saw me borrowing a blue electric guitar from the studio. I thought to myself it must have been meant for me.
   I started on a riff, which is a series of notes or numbers for the song "Seven Nation Army", by the amazing rock group the White Stripes. With so much practice, I am now able to follow along the pace of the entire song and have my own electric guitar now!
    My opinion on guitar is that you need to have patience when making it sound right, and be prepared because it does hurt your fingers sometimes while playing chords, or holding down a number of strings.This class is exposing me more into rock culture and I love going to the studio and seeing people my age who share the same expression. The expression of music.
   If you don't know the White Stripes find some time to search them up. I highly suggest the songs,"Seven Nation Army", and "Icky Thump". (Great guitar solos). Anyways enjoy the rest of your day and continue checking for some more intresting stories, information, and more on my experience with this awesome instrument!
