Bert Weedon was a genius.
Just about every wannabe guitarist in the 50s and 60s bought his "Play in a day" book.
In one day, I learnt to play the basics of Tom Dooley on the Ford Cortina of guitars, the Selmer 222 that I bought for £8. (a weeks wages).
I can still play that today and have never forgotten the chords.
Weedon, if you can teach me the basics (I am tone deaf) you are a true genius.

How about that Tork fella from the Monkees? I couldn't believe it when my wife told me he was dead.
Then I saw her face.
Then I saw her face.

Jimi took the guitar to his mouth and changed the way a guitar can be played, used and abused it like a Champ. He was experienced.
