Brian Tarquin's Guitar Trax Show

For more than 45 years, Paul Stanley has reigned supreme as one of the single-most recognizable front men in the history of rock and roll. Although preferring to live his off stage life out of the media spotlight he continues to be the chief songwriter, driving force and unwavering voice of KISS. A visionary and trendsetter since the early 1970s, Stanley's passion for both the musical and visual arts has perhaps been the key to the astonishing ongoing worldwide phenomenon known as KISS. Stanley also returned to his passion for painting ten years ago by creating portraits and abstracts that are emotionally-charged compositions. He aims to maximize the direct, physical impact of his paintings through scale, texture, color and simplicity of images. In a few short years of exhibiting, Stanley's works have been acquired by numerous art collectors and he has been commissioned to create large works to be displayed internationally.GUITAR TRAX is hosted by mulit-Emmy award winning guitarist Brian Tarquin featuring in- depth interviews with today's hottest guitar legends and airs every Monday night from 10pm-12pm on WFIT 89.5FM on the Florida space coast and can be streamed on WFIT.org.

The world has just lost one of the great guitarists of a generation, the maestro himself Jeff Beck! Jeff represented so much for musicians because of his never ending strive for tone and proficiency as a guitar gunslinger. He reached millions through his decades of stellar recordings and performances that permeated our souls. He is the father of modern guitar instrumental music and pioneered the path for such guitarists as Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Al Di Meola and countless others. He was truly a risk taker and forged ahead in new styles of music that very few would ever dare to tread.“Jeff was a hero of mine on many levels. He gave us so much wonderful electric guitar music to enjoy. R.I.P. Jeff Beck.”Joe Satriani“There are few musicians in history who transcend their instrument of choice and reach a level of pure, beautiful expression. We are all so fortunate to have lived in a time when one of those rare gods walked the earth and shared his gift with all of us.  Safe travels, Maestro.”Dean Brown (David Sanborn) “I had the honor of being featured together with Jeff on Tina Turner's recording of Private Dancer. Watching him in action Jeff had the innate ability to make one feel like both giving up on the guitar and trying harder at the same time. The God of Guitar Gods, there will never be another like Jeff Beck.”Hal Lindes (Hal Lindes)"In 1966, when I first heard the Yardbirds “Shapes of Things” … double lead guitar solo was so exciting it defined psychedelic rock and undoubtedly influenced Jimi Hendrix. There will never be another Jeff Beck, a once in a generation talent."Carl Verheyen (Supertramp) GUITAR TRAX is hosted by mulit-Emmy award winning guitarist Brian Tarquin featuring in- depth interviews with today's hottest guitar legends and airs every Monday night from 10pm-12pm on WFIT 89.5FM on the Florida space coast and can be streamed on WFIT.org.

Larry McCray's heart and soul are in the blues. Of that, there's no question. It's been 25 years -- award- winning ones at that -- of scalding-hot and tasteful blues from the Arkansas-born, Michigan-based singer, guitarist, bandleader, songwriter and heir apparent to a lineage that includes personal influences and heroes such as B.B. King, Freddie King, Albert King, all of whom he's had the chance to meet and play with. McCray's eight albums have blended reverence for that tradition with his own soulful spin on the form, and those achievements have been noted with an Orville H. Gibson Male Blues Guitarist of the Year award as well as the Top Guitarist prize in International Blues Matters' 2014 writer's poll.

Snowy White is one of a handful of classic blues-orientated British electric guitar players - musicians whose sound, technique and style has echoed the originality of the blues with the excitement of contemporary rock. In 1976 he was invited to tour America and Europe with the Pink Floyd as their first augmenting musician and also again in 1979 for The Wall. He played on Peter Green’s solo album "In the Skies". He joined Thin Lizzy in 1980 and recorded 2 albums with them "Chinatown" & "Renegade". Both albums include songs co-written by Snowy, which resulted in two and a half years of world tours.

Very sadly on Tuesday October 6, 2020 65-year-old Eddie Van Halen passed away from a long struggle with throat cancer. His son Wolfgang stated “He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift. My heart is broken, and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss. I love you so much, Pop.” Not just the guitar world, but the universe has lost an amazingly talented guitarist, songwriter and innovator. He was our Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Segovia who unknowingly changed the sound of music forever. As a confirmation of his impact, music stores like Guitar Center, Sweetwater, Sam Ash have seen a huge increase in sales of EVH branded guitar products. Guitar goodies like EVH effects pedals, amps, pick-ups are now on back order. In fact, the world has been reawakened to Eddie’s music since his death as it has been reported that Van Halen streams have gone up an astonishingly 1,300%! As a teenager in the late 70’s I saw firsthand what Eddie did for all of us young guitarists. A shear tsunami engulfed the guitar community worldwide with his alarming two handed technique and reckless spirited solos with pinpoint accuracy. To this day a smile comes to my face when I think of those candy-striped patterns on his guitars; first white & black, then yellow and black then to the iconic red, black & white striped Kramers. When I hear early Van Halen it takes me back to my high school days and my band, REIGN, as we attempted to play You Really Got Me, Runnin’ With The Devil, Dance The Night Away, Outta Love Again, Unchained, Pretty Woman and others for bars and dances. His tone, sounds and guitars gave us all a green light to modify our guitars to get that so-called “Brown Tone”. Yes, we were all very dangerous with a router, spray cans and Floyd Rose locking tremolos. It was a time of unbridle freedom from the stock norm Gibson and Fender guitars. Who wanted stock-No Way! I’m going to build my own guitar with pick-ups of my choosing and a smooth maple neck. Oh yes none of those closet queen guitars from 1958, we wanted custom everything. Yes, Eddie made it okay for the world not to except mediocre stock guitars and Man I miss those days of unbridle guitar passion! All I can say is the legacy Eddie leaves behind is far greater than the mortality of the man himself!

Billy Cobham was the original drummer of Mahavishnu Orchestra and his 1973 solo album 'Spectrum' was a groundbreaking record featuring Tommy Bolin, Jan Hammer and Lee Sklar.

John McLaughlin has been called the "greatest guitarist in the world" by Jeff Beck & Pat Metheny. In the 60's he gave guitar lessons to Jimmy Page and in 1963, John played with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker in the band Graham Bond Quartet. They played an eclectic range of music genres, including bebop, blues and rhythm and blues. In 1969 he played with Tony Williams's group Lifetime and then with Miles Davis on his electric jazz-fusion albums Bitches Brew (which has a track named after him), Jack Johnson and On the Corner.
