Now in the past, some of us often created mix tapes. And maybe some have only heard legends of the era of the mix tape and even mix cd, when the elders would sometimes carefully curate their emotions and share music between one another, subtly tell someone how you feel about them, or just condense a collection of albums down to a single cassette or cd to make your own “best of” music delivery vessel. The hours and the effort to transfer songs from an album to a cassette. Or transfer songs from one cassette to another. Record a song from an album onto a master cd and then trim and transfer that to another cd all to fill a 60 minute or 90 minute cassette or 80 minute cd-r with music to give to a friend or someone you wish were more than a friend. In one phase, I would record audio samples from popular movies and use these movie quotes as segues between songs or random madness.
The digital age made it easier. Drag and drop the tracks to a playlist, then record the playlist to cd-r. And now of course, streaming services you can very easily create your playlist on an app, and listen and share. Well here is a place to highlight some of these.
Come here once a week and talk about or compare a music compilation you created - your mix tapes, your homemade greatest hits cds or another playlist you made on Spotify here. Your self imagined music compilations highlighted.

This has had time to breathe so I’ll start.
For better or worse, “great guitar solo” lists are of course subjective. Surfing YouTube this morning I came across one users ideas of a 50 Great Guitar Solos. I simply took his list at face value and decided to create a playlist on Spotify.
If any of you care to listen anytime, find me and feel free to listen.

I’ve been thinking about creating a playlist of songs that feature a Yamaha DX7 harmonica filter specifically like the keyboard solo of “What’s Love Got To Do With It”. Yeah. I’m a little strange at times.
Anyway, this week is a playlist featuring the songs of Metallica.
I’m only a casual fan of Metallica, own only a very few of their albums as many of their songs become uninteresting quickly for me for some reasons. But, years ago, a cousin of mine handed me a Metallica mix tape she made for me and for the most part it had some solid music there.
This playlist created on Spotify contains many of the songs from my cousins tape and my additions. Encapsulating songs from the albums of Metallica into one convenient and faithful playlist. Feel free to listen to any of my Spotify playlists anytime, kids.

Also this week, I learned that Joe Walsh also played guitar on Andy Gibb’s #1 hit, “I Want To Be Your Everything”. Now I admit in 1977 I was not reading liner notes of many Andy Gibb albums nor have I ever owned any of his albums but I am surprised I did not know this fact until recently.

Several weeks ago I started a playlist on Spotify which features songs from other artists that feature members of Eagles. I now add “I Want To Be Your Everything” to the list and invite you to find me on Spotify and listen to Where Eagles Fly some time.IMG_0297.png

When I got my son a guitar and amp for his birthday (he wanted one), and we were looking for songs for him to learn how to play, I realized he hadn't heard a lot of different guitar-based music. So I started making a playlist for him with one or two songs per band (more if they are really good and have very distinct "eras") and then he could check out whichever bands he liked from that list. Didn't really work out that way, but oh well. Here's the list:

How old is your son? That’s some list!

Nice to see The Great Kat in there. :)

He's 14. He'll be 15 in February.

Always loved the Great Kat ever since I stumbled across Worship Me or Die! She's seriously talented and one of the fastest shredders ever.

Yes she is and she rarely ever gets mentioned when talking about guitar greats.
