Guitars, lessons and a new career in show biz to follow?  Fame and fortune does not follow everyone who has a bit of musical training having some guitars lessons can really give your raw talent a boost.

 

So why is it so important to be able to play a musical instrument like a guitar to make it big in the music industry?

Now the woman who wrote “I Love Rock N’ Roll “ and “Bad Reputation” have a Gibson Guitar named after her. The guitar is lightweight and electric with a glossy worn white finish.

An example of a big contemporary music star that used guitars, lessons and a natural talent for songwriting to rocket to the top of the charts for years is John Mayer.   He has made two multi-platinum albums and won a Grammy Award for his hit song “Your Body is A Wonderland.”  He started out in middle school playing the clarinet but was inspired by Michael J. Fox’s guitar performance as Marty McFly in “Back to the Future” to take guitars Lessons.  This also led to a love of collecting vintage guitars such as the prized 1996 Stevie Ray Vaughan signature Stratocaster he plays on sometimes.

 

One of the most famous of guitar teachers of all time is Joe Satriani. This man gave guitars lessons to some of the most famous heavy metal players in history including Larry LaLone of Primus, Kevin Cadogan of Third Eye Blind and Alex Skolnick of Testament. Kirk Hammett of Metallic and the Grammy Award Winning guitarist and songwriter Steve Vai have also taken guitars lessons from Joe Satriani.
