About Playlist
Virtuosity on the guitar is expressed in a thousand ways. Some pioneers have defined the codes of Blues, Rock and a number of other genres. After the generation of Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Buddy Holly and Buddy Guy, the guitarists definitely took the flame during the 60s, 70s and 80s under their names (Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Joe Satriani) or within their respective groups (Brian May in Queen, Jimmy Page in Led Zeppelin, Mark Knopfler in Dire Straits, Keith Richard and the Rolling Stones…). Then the woman took over, from Ana Popovic’s Blues Rock, to the virtuoso tapping of Kaki King. Today, a whole generation of musicians breath this love for the guitar, pushing their imagination towards ever more modern and innovative music, with artists like Jonny Greenwood in Radiohead, Anne Clarke, aka St. Vincent and her eccentric pop, even the novel relationship of Anna Calvi and her instrument. Here, we present to you the legends of today and yesteryear on the guitar, as we wait for the new generation to be born.
