Song and guitar tab available only from http://jongomm.com/store You can Pay What You Want for the song, and a percentage of what you pay goes to STEPS, a charity that supports people with clubfoot, hip dysplasia and other lower limb conditions, in honour of my beautiful niece Freya. http://www.steps-charity.org.uk / This is my cover of the Chaka Khan dancefloor classic from 1982. When I was a kid, I played gigs in pubs in Blackpool, and often my audience was mostly elderly ladies spending their pension money on bacardi! Quite often they'd tolerate my original songs and blues covers for only so long, and eventually a representative would be sent over to remonstrate with me. "Excuse me young man, please can you play something we can dance to?" So this is my emergency disco song.

The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they'd play the right note no matter where they were struck. For more information and behind-the-scenes footage, see http://www.LetsDoThis.com and http://www.okgo.net . Many thanks to Chevy for believing in and supporting such an insane and ambitious project, and to Gretsch for providing the guitars and amps.

Bob Zabek's Youtube channel is appropriately title bobwizard because he certainly is a wizard on the fretboard. Jump straight to 1:21 to get past the intro noodling where Bob really starts to show his musicality aswell and not just his tapping skills. Bob's playing is a strange hybrid touching on elements of Steve Vai style hammer on bends and groovy John Mayer style slap percussion.

A clever piece of viral advertising for the new real life guitar game Rocksmith where a baby is allegedly place an electric guitar all by itself... If your asking 'is it real?' the answer is no its a hoax... but a very clever one designed to create curiosity about the up coming real life guitar game Rocksmith. Its certainly achieved the aim of going viral but when looking at the video comments below it on youtube I cant find one actually questioning 'what is Rocksmith?' Virality = Win, Advertising Effectiveness = Fail. Learn to play the blues with a FREE 10 part video lessons course HERE
