Without doubt--one of Canada's best.

Another young Canadian honing his craft.

Young Men with guitars

Photo Bomb, before it was even invented.

Canadian Railroad Trilogy

At Place des Arts in Montreal?

How about this guy, and how about his guitar.  Life on the road takes it toll on your guitar, and also on your self.  Here's to Gordon and all of the old survivors of the "road".

Old Rocker

There is nothing like an Old Rocker when he is in the groove.

Twelve Strings

It's all in the way you hold your tongue.

Randy Bachman

Make sure you give a listen to Randy's jazz album.

Hoyer

Randy Bachman with his Hoyer guitar.

At 354, this man likely owned more Gretsch guitars than anyone else on the planet.  Why did he own so many?  Send a comment and I just might tell.

Guess Who?  This guy learned guitar while watching Lenny play in his bedroom in Winnipeg while they were skipping school.

Grammer Guitar

Is Canada a great country for guitar?  I think so.  If there is a Canadian guitar player you would like to see on this Blog--drop a comment.  I will try to keep it Canadian during the month of July.

Lenny Breau Live!

Hear more of Lenny live thanks to Randy Bachman and Guitarchives.  Also thanks to Richard and Darci.

Lenny Breau

Forty-five years later Lenny's licks are still cutting edge.

Lenny and Chet

Chet told everyone that Lenny was the best around.  That's a pretty solid endorsement.

Happy Canada Day

The best guitar player who ever lived.  I cannot believe that this man has not shown up on this Blog until now.  This great musician who grew up in Winnipeg influenced every form of guitar music possible.
