Rock 'n' roll is a music full of wonders, and one proof is that the guitar gods you know that sparkle on stage, many of whom were once obscure little characters, whether it's Chuck Bailey or Jimmy Hendrisk, they all had a humble beginning.
What we are going to review today is the history of the ten guitar gods.
Chuck Bailey started out playing blues in his local band in St. Louis, where he lived, when music was just his hobby, and he was married, had a child, and lived in nine-to-five shifts.
His nobleman was pianist Johnnie Johnson, and beginning in 1953, Johnson often invited Chuck Bailey to join his three-piece band, because the band's legitimate guitarists were in poor health and took sick leave from time to time.
After receiving this rare opportunity, Chuck Bailey fully demonstrated his acting talent on stage, and his guitar skills began to improve rapidly, and soon the johnson band's legitimate guitarist position was taken by Chuck Bailey.
In 1955, Chuck Bailey signed a contract with Chase Records, and in his first single, "Maybellene," Johnson helped him play the piano part, a song that reached number one on the R&B chart that year.
Jack White was supposed to go to seminary as a teenager, but when he heard that the seminary would not allow sound, he gave up and went to work as an upholstery apprentice. His boss is a punk party, who tricks him into playing a duo band with him, with Jack playing guitar.
Later, Jack, who had a small career in decoration, opened his own interior decoration company, so he could not let go of his musical dreams, so he proposed to his ex-wife Megan to start a duo band - this is the birth of the White Stripes .
With that, Jack White also became a musician, producer, archivist, and record label owner.
Perhaps Mr. Page was born destined to play the guitar, and the Zeppelin guitarist claimed that the first time he picked up a guitar was when he moved with his family, he found a guitar in his new home that the former occupants threw away.
Soon, Mr. Page taught herself to play some of Elvis Presley's songs, as well as the noisy jazz songs that were popular on British radio in the 1950s. The rest is written in the history of rock and roll: Mr. Page got a job in a studio in London and worked on recordings that included the bandSwriting and Who's, which led him to be recruited into the Band Yardbirds.
Then, Mr. Page approached Robert Plante, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham— together they formed one of the greatest bands in rock history.
For Bona massa, it's hardest not to play guitar – because his parents opened a guitar shop and Bona massa started playing guitar when he was 4 years old.
After the age of 11, after a brief stint with guitar maestro Danny Garton, Bona massa found his way to the future, forming the blues rock band Bloodline with a group of friends in the 90s, and then after 2000, he began his long successful solo career with a "A New Day Yesterday" album.
Before Clapton became a god, he was just a 13-year-old kid with a difficult guitar, which led him to give up playing the guitar for a while.
However, the charm of the guitar proved to be hard to resist, and at the age of 15, Clapton picked up the guitar again, this time trying to play the guitar along with the blues album and recording the playing process with a reel recorder.
This approach worked, as Clapton was just 18 years old when he joined Duckneck in 1963, followed by a legendary career in the pop music world, where he worked with countless big names and sold countless albums.
Although Dan Auerbach grew up listening to his parents' old-fashioned blues albums, the future Black Keys lead singer didn't get serious about music until college — especially when he was attracted to the rugged charm of the Mississippi blues musician Little KimBre, who even dropped out of school to play the guitar.
Although in The Black Keys, they have their own style of blues-flavored rock and roll, Auerbach never forgot little Kimbrolu, who unreservedly demonstrated his fascination with the latter in his 2006 EP Chulahoma: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough.
Although Pete Townshend's dad played saxophone in rafic bands, the young Townsonde didn't like those things at all, and his favorite was rock music from the United States, especially Bill Haley and the Comets.
At the age of 11, Townender first saw the 1956 film Night Rock, and then he began to see the film countless times, three times and four brushes, and this sincerity finally touched his grandmother, who bought him her first guitar.
Soon, Townshend found John Entvesto to play the band with, after which they welcomed lead singer Roger Daltree and drummer Keith Moon.
After two semesters at Berkeley College of Music, John Mayer moved to Atlanta, where he and his friends formed the duo LoFi Masters. After the band disbanded, Mel released his own solo EP, Inside Wants Out, which made him a rising star.
In this EP there is a song called "No Such Thing", which later became Mel's early masterpiece, not only included in his debut album "Room for Squares", but also ranked 13th on the billboard 100 chart, which also allowed him to get a contract with Columbia Records in a short time.
Although Jimmy Hendricks began working as a professional musician as a teenager and worked under many of the biggest names, such as Wilson Pickett, Sam Cook and Richard Jr., it wasn't until he went to London in 1966 that Hendricks really opened the door to career success.
Run by band manager Chas Chandler, Hendricks formed a trio with Noel Reading and Mitch Michelle and began performing at clubs in the UK, with audiences including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Who's And, and Eric Clapton.
After a blockbuster performance, Hendricks released his first album, Are You Experienced, along with his band Of Experience, and sadly, only four albums had been released until his untimely death in 1970.
When Clark meets Austin's veteran Anthony Club owner Phil Anthony, he's just a guitar teenager in a little-fling show, but Anthony appreciates his guitar skills and recommends him to guitar maestro Jimmy Vaughan.
Clark got the chance to perform on the same stage with the likes of James Cotton and Hubert Samlin, and then Eric Clapton, who invited Clark to the 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival and later took the guitar rookie on his 2011 tour of Brazil.
