Some of the most amazing musicians of all time came to life on the radio once the electric guitar became popular, and they had the power to blaze a trail in our minds, leaving permanent memory bytes to experience like a flashback when you hear “that song” years later.

Back in The Day

Attitudes on social issues were changing back in the 50’s and 60’s, and guitar music played a small hand in that change by influencing the younger generation. The music was new, exciting and a form of rebellion. Music can tie a person to a time and place, depending on circumstances the first time you hear a new song. It leaves an emotional imprint of sorts.

Our love affair with cars in the 50’s and beyond was tied to music because we loved to cruise with the radio on and that made those moments memorable. Society was changing back then and we were a part of that change. If you want to stay in touch scroll up the page a little and join our guitar world magazine.
