On The Beat - Episode 460 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up April 19th, 2019

Hi Everyone!
The Weekly Wrap up has just been released!
Enjoy!
https://www.totallyguitars.com/blog/gui ... 19th-2019/
This week I revisited a record that made a big impression on me in the late 1970s, Finger Style Guitar Solos by Guy Van Duser.
Guy’s sound and arrangements owe a lot to Chet Atkins and this album introduced a piece for the ages, his Great Western TV
Medley. Throughout this update I played bits and pieces of most of the tunes he included, as well as a few others from the
Great American Songbook that came to my attention in a book called Golden Standards Of The 1900's (I think, can’t seem to
find the book anymore). I hope you enjoy the excursions.
As far as the new stuff at TG, we had a lot of female artists represented this week. Our FOTW entry featured Bebe Rexha's hit
Meant To Be along with In Color by Jamey Johnson. Max brought us At Last by Etta James and I Say A Little Prayer from Aretha
Franklin, and Vanessa did a great lesson on The Bangles’ Manis Monday. We also brought out a 5-Pack of lessons on Pearl Jam
songs.
But, back to Guy Van Duser, I hope you enjoy the attached file of his medley and see how many you can identify. I may have
given a few away in the video but PM your thoughts over the next week and next Friday we will go over the answers. A hint,
there are 8 themes included.
