    Guitar veteran Bert Weedon dies



    Guitarist Bert Weedon, who played with stars including Frank Sinatra and inspired millions to pick up the instrument with his Play In A Day books, has died at the age of 91.
    The musician had "been poorly" for a while and died at home in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, on Friday morning, his friend John Adrian has confirmed.
    Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and Brian May are among the stars who learned to play guitar from his books.





    Lovely men to whom all music fans owe a debt of gratitude, very sad, God bless you.

    Tools owned: Hammer, Chisel, Crowbar, Punch, Chainsaw, Cutter and Brain!!!

    Did you know People will question all the good things they hear about you but believe all the bad without a second thought.

    As Super Jumbe says a lot of musicians from the 60's, 70's and 80's learned how to play using Bert Weedon's instruction.
    I saw him play live many years ago and he was a spectacular guitar player.
