Jake Shimabukuro LIVE: Very cool vid

2007-04-16T11:21:00.000-07:00

This guy is unreal. The video is great but you have to watch about 15 seconds of the intro. Trust me, the video is well worth waiting 15 seconds. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Who is your favorite artist? Time for you to tell the rest of our readers what you like!

2007-04-05T11:40:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,

I thought I would post a question directly to you. Over the past year I've posted some of my favorite artists and concerts on this blog. I know that my taste is just a drop in the bucket. What do you guys like? What style music do you like? What is your favorite concert of all time?

I thought it would be fun to share your interests with the readers. It will also help me to ensure I post content that my users want to see.

2007-03-09T12:04:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

So in my last post I talked about all the exciting things going on in my life. I thought I would share with you my latest venture that is really starting to take off. Search engine optimization has been something i've done for the past 7 years. Growing up in the bay area and working in the heart of San Francisco really allowed me to learn from some great people as well as companies. I've worked for a few large online marketing companies and I've done consulting on my own. I figured it was about time I really focused in and got serious about search engine marketing. So i co-founded a full service search engine optimization cmopany called iSearch Media. iSearch Media is a search engine optimization and paid search marketing company that focuses on helping small to mid-sized businesses. So if any of you out there are looking to get more traffic to your site, get more sales or leads from your website or just want to learn more about search engine marketing please don't hesitate to call me.

FlipTrack.com launches today!! Check it out

2006-11-16T12:05:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone,

I know this site is all about live music but my brother in laws company just launched FlipTrack.com It's a very cool site that allows you to do mash ups with your photos and music.

It allows people who have pictures but not videos to put their pictures together with music to create amazing slide shows. They have a very cool application that you download which allows you to select a song and then litterally just drag and drop pictures into the song. The appliacation then builds the slide show for you. It's very cool.

Here is one of the slide shows that was created using FlipTrack.com

Justin King "Knock on Wood" This guy is GOOD!!

2006-04-19T12:03:00.000-07:00

Justin King is damn good. I just heard his song "Knock on Wood" for the first time and loved it. This style seems to be gaining popularity in the acoustic guitar world. I personally love it and have been practicing my ass off to be able to play some of these types of songs. Enjoy!!

For the BLUES fans out there!

2006-04-19T11:59:00.000-07:00

Here is a cool video of Matt Hendricks performing "Farewell". It's a pretty simple blues song but has a great feel to the song. Hope you all enjoy it!

Trace Bundy - Back Street Boys Cover. AMAZING!!!!

2006-04-18T17:00:00.000-07:00

This guy is AMAZING!!! I love cool covers and this is one of them. I'm not a back street boy fan at all but I know the song. He does such a cool version and just stuns me with his playing. I know this will be a favorite. Takes a little time to download but it's well worth it!! Enjoy Trace Bundy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Music is about Feel - Very True !!!

2006-04-18T16:51:00.000-07:00

This video shows two performers on the street in Japan. I don't speak a lick of Japaneese but like someone once told me.. Music is about Feel. This is a pretty song and reminds me of some hawaiian songs I hear when I travel to Maui. I don't know the words but I still appreciate the beauty in the song. Enjoy

Amazing Song Amazing Performance

2006-04-18T16:48:00.000-07:00

I found this video this afternoon and thought it was a perfect fit for LiveGuitar. The song has a country feel to it but it's a great song and he has a great voice. I know you all will love this. Enjoy

2006-04-18T10:35:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited I found this video. I saw Jack johnson and Matt Costa play together at the Greek Theater in Berkley this year and it was the best show I've ever seen. Matt Costa is a new artist out of Hungtington Beach. Jack and Matts voices together are amazing. Enjoy!!!

Jack Johnson and Ben Haper - Amazing

2006-04-18T10:30:00.000-07:00

I had to post Jack Johnson again. He is by far my favorite artist. He has this very calming style of music that just sets me in a good relaxed mood. Not only is Jack a great artist but you can really feel how much he enjoys playing and loves music. He and Ben harper often play music and surf together. Here is Jacks Flake video featuring Ben Haper. Hope Everyone is having a good week so far.

Blink 182 - Acoustic

2006-04-18T10:22:00.000-07:00

I used to be a huge fan of Blink 182 back in college. This was years ago and I haven't listened to them in a while. This video is shot in the tour bus and shows guitar player Tom just messing around on his acoustic. It's very rough but it just shows how some people sound a little different and can make it big. Cool little video

More Led Zeppelin

2006-04-17T10:35:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone. I thought I would post one more Led Zeppelin video. Don't worry the core of this site is for more acoustic style live performances but.... I think it's important to also included performers like Led Zeppelin who was a major influence for some of the greatest current artists. Enjoy

Request for Led Zeppelin

2006-04-17T10:32:00.000-07:00

I've had a few requests for Led Zeppelin so here you go. This live performance is a killer one. They really are one of the best! I love how halfway through the song the guitarist uses a violin bow to play. Cool stuff!!

Killer Guitar Work!!! WOW Amazing!!

2006-04-17T10:24:00.000-07:00

happy Monday all. I just saw this video and loved it. This guys song is called Knock on Wood. It's amazing the sounds he can create from his guitar. I know you will all love this one! Enjoy!!

Jimi Hendrix - Amazing!! One of the best ever

2006-04-14T14:04:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited I found this. It's a very rare video of Jimi Hendrix playing on an acoustic guitar. I've always been a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix. He had his own style that I still think no one can re-create!

She has a great voice!

2006-04-14T13:11:00.000-07:00

I saw this video and at first thought it would be like most of the videos out there where people just record themselves singing and playing guitar. But there was something cool about the song that caught my attention. She also has an amazing voice! Thought it was a good one to put up on the site. It's a little different from the other posts but I thought it would still fit into what i am trying to do with the site. Enjoy!!

Foo Fighters - Stairway to Heaven - Pretty Fun Version

2006-04-14T09:15:00.000-07:00

2006-04-13T11:09:00.000-07:00

2006-04-13T11:04:00.000-07:00

I have to say I'm a huge fan of Jack Johnson. His style of music is exactly the type of music I like. I guess it kind of sets me into a mode where I feel like I'm chilling out in hawaii or something.

So who is your favorite artist?? Please leave a comment letting me and our viewers know. I'll also be sure to find more videos of your favorite artists.

I came across this video today and loved it. This is just the kind of thing I love to see and hear. A few very talented people playing guitar and having fun. Looks like Jack Johnson and Ted Lennon are playing in some small park in Hawaii or something. Great stuff. Enjoy!!!

Dave Matthews needed to be here!

2006-04-11T13:13:00.000-07:00

I guess if I'm going to have a site about great live guitar performances and great live music Dave Matthews needs to be on this site. I've seen him live a few times and he gives a great show. He is definitely one of the latest guitar performers to hit main stream and will be around for years to come. Here is one of my favorite live performances of him.

John Butler Trio - WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-04-05T12:17:00.000-07:00

2006-04-05T12:11:00.000-07:00

This guys is VERY impressive. This style seems to be getting more and more popular. It obviously takes a very skilled player and I'm sure hundreds of hours of practice. The end result is pretty amazing though. Enjoy!!

Not quite Green Day but pretty damn close!

2006-04-05T12:04:00.000-07:00

I saw this video a few days ago and my first thought was wow. This kid does a Green Day song and apparently he made it on the local news. He actually nails the song. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Pretty Impressive - this girl Rocks!!

2006-04-05T11:59:00.000-07:00

I came across this video today and didn't quite know what to think. She is playing the guitar alot like you would play a bass guitar. I placed it on my site because it was a style I have never seen before. She uses some interesting ways of making sounds. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Think you are good at Guitar?? Think again!!!! Tommy Emmanuel - Classical Gas

2006-03-28T10:35:00.000-08:00

I've been playing guitar for over 15 years and seeing this guy makes me feel like i've only just started to learn to play. Tommy Emmanuel is one of the greatest acoustic guitar players of our time. Watch this video and you will see why!

Ben Harper Live - Burn One Down Live!

2006-03-27T12:29:00.000-08:00

I came across this video the other day and was blown away. Ben Harper is simply amazing. What also is amazing is how great just one acoustic guitar and someone playing a congo drum can sound. Hope you enjoy it.
