Neil Giraldo's Top 5 Tips for Guitarists

0
0


Check out this great interview Spyder did with MusicRadar! You can read the full story at the following link:http://bit.ly/neilgiraldo5tips

Anybody whos come within a country mile of a radio during the past 35 years has heard - and marveled at - Neil Giraldos astonishing guitar playing. On a glittering cavalcade of Pat Benatar smash hits, his crafty, melodious licks and robust solos have come roaring out, brimming with spunk and considerable charm, enlivening that which already seems like perfection.

Hes the kind of guy who makes it seem so easy - you can just picture a teenaged Giraldo dishing out riffs for astonished classmates and then coolly shrugging it off like, No big deal. But the guitarist maintains that hes had to work at it - the soloing aspect, especially.

I didnt have a lot of dexterity when I started out, he says. My mantra became, m going to learn three chords and make them sound like God is playing them. Solos and everything else took a back seat for a while. Eventually, I figured that stuff out.

That he did - Giraldos prodigious chops earned him a prime spot in Rick Derringers touring band, his first big-time gig before his eventual musical and marital partnership with Benatar.

I learned a lot from Rick, Giraldo says. One thing thats stayed with me is an observation he made. He said, You sound like yourself. Dont think that you can go on somebody elses rig and sound like them. That aint gonna happen.

Giraldo decided to test out Derringers perceptiveness: I plugged into Ricks rig, cause he got such a great sound, and wouldnt you know it? I sounded just like me! Rick was right, and that was a very important thing for me to realize: I had my sound, and I should own it.

On the following pages, Giraldo runs down his top five tips for guitarists.

Dear Ones-

Most of you already know about Spyders injury to his eye and the emergency surgery he had over the weekend. Hes doing very well and should make a full recovery. Unfortunately, he will be unable to travel or perform for a while. It is with our deepest regret and sincerest apologies, that effective immediately, all 5 shows previously scheduled for Aug 11-16 will have to be cancelled.

-Pat & Spyder

"Id like to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers, they certainly are contributing to the healing process. I have been experiencing headaches for the past month, performing through the pain.....thinking it was nothing and would just go away. It didnt.....instead it turned out to be a serious eye emergency and required immediate surgery to repair it. The prognosis is good and I look forward to seeing yall soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Youre the best!"

-Spyder
