Description
From classical guitarist, Andre Segovia, to the hard-rocking, Kurt Cobain, guitarists throughout the ages have played this beautifully expressive instrument and moved our souls, lifted our spirits and brought us to tears. We may debate whether Robert Johnson, the ground-breaking black Mississippi blues singer and guitarist should be ranked #1 among the best guitar players in the world or whether that honor should go to Jimi Hendrix, but in the end, that's less important than the influence they have had on music. Johnson's legacy of recordings is the undisputed foundation upon which all modern blues and rock music rests. Hendrix took every possible sound from acoustic to electric and blended it into something that went so far beyond the drugs that it left people high who had never taken a drug in their lives.
Guitars and guitar players have been the most essential component of contemporary music since John Lee Hooker stuck a microphone in his guitar while singing those angry, raspy Delta blues back in the early 1940s. Once the big band orchestra style era ended, the guitar became the backdrop for almost all popular music and that's still true today. (It was brought to my attention by one of my blog readers - seasonssongandspirit.com - that I had neglected to mention one of the most talented and innovative guitarists of our time - the legendary Les Paul - whose design and electronic contributions to guitar manufacturing really can't be measured. Dozens of superstars like Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney have played a Gibson-Les Paul guitar.)
In 1968, Beatles member, George Harrison wrote a song that was eventually to be listed as #136 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", #7 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time, and #10 on their list of The Beatles 100 Greatest Songs. In an online poll held by Guitar World magazine in February 2012, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was voted the best of Harrison's Beatle-era songs. The recorded version includes a guitar solo by another of the top 20 guitar players of all time - Eric Clapton. Arguably one of the Beatles finest songs, it never won the acclaim of other hits. But the lyrics can't help but touch your heart.
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice its turning
While my guitar gently weeps
Every mistake, we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
UNUSED VERSE:
I look at the trouble and see that it's raging,
While my guitar gently weeps.
As I'm sitting here, doing nothing but ageing,
Still, my guitar gently weeps.
