Black artists have colored the world with their extra ordinary talents. The singers have great voices. We would never forget many kinds of black singers in the world. Let’s name them. We all knew about Louis Armstrong with his monumental “what a wonderful world”. We also knew about Nat “King” Cole. From the later generations, we knew the Jackson Five. Today, we could hear the amazing voice of Alicia Keys. We also knew that there are many black musicians that have given some monumental works. Some of those musicians are the guitarist. We might need to know more about the black guitarist.
First of all, we could name Bo Diddley. Well, he might not the best but many people would admit, almost all kinds of rock and rolls were based on his plays. Diddley most awesome hit was released in 1955 with his double sided single, Bo Diddley – I’m A Man. Diddley died in 2008 at his home. Robert Johnson is the next black guitarist that the world has ever had. Unfortunately, his fame cost him his life too. He was poisoned in 1938 after playing in Mississippi and finally died in August 16th. BB King is the next name of black guitar player that was named as the icon of black musicians.
King is living in Memphis, Tennessee, United States right now. He got lots of hits that were truly the excellent artworks. The next names of black guitarist are Chuck Berry and Albert King. Albert King himself is always considered as the King of Blues. In the land of rock music, the world would never forget about Jimmy Hendrix. He was well known because of his extra ordinary talent of playing the guitar. His biting technique was the most well known in that time. Jumping to the 90s, we should name Slash. With his Gun N Roses, and then having his own group, Slash’s Snakepit, Slash truly shown the world that he is one of the awesome guitarists in that moment.
