Saturday Sounds Presents: Emi Gilbert – Ravel’s “Jeux d’eau”

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

I know this isn’t guitar per se but it is performed by a woman I have seen playing guitar solos, sounding just like a guitar solo, on a keyboard. Of course that’s not the case here, but could you expect nothing less from Paul Gilbert’s wife Emi? And it is a brilliant piece, perfectly executed with a dexterity I always admire in Pianists. So I hope you like it too:

For those interested, Emi is running her own website, together with a blog with wonderful insights. The above video is the first in a video blog she started this week. (Thanks to Jenn for pointing it out by the way :) )

Saturday Sounds presents Orianthi – Highly Strung

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Okay here’s a new feature I’m trying out. Some folks do “Music Monday”, I’ve decided to do Saturday Sounds, a semi-regular feature to post sounds and songs that rock my world. Don’t expect it to be every Saturday, I know it won’t happen every week but I’ll try to do it as much as possible.

So let’s kick start with a collaboration between Steve Vai and Carlos Santana’s protégée, whose career was to reach a summit in the Michael Jackson comeback tour which never happened This is It, I, of course, mean Orianthi. The song is called Highly Strung and as Steve Vai puts it, it’s ferocious, check it out:

Edit from 15/01/2010: Steve Vai just posted the official music video for Highly Strung so I’ve replaced the video accordingly.
