A spin off of jazz and blues of the 1930′s, rhythm and blues developed in the late 40′s and early 50′s and I grew up listening to this type of music. Now a days, the term R&B refers to a wide range of music including some soul and funk tunes. If you’re a fan of contemporary R&B, wearing this button with it’s blue Fender Stratocaster is a great way to express your love of the genre.

In general. electric guitar players learn to play on one of two styles of guitars, either Leo Fenders Stratocaster or Gibson’s Les Paul. If you learned to play on a Strat, another guitar will just never quite feel right. Vice versa for the Les Paul. This is the yin yang of the guitar world.

I’m amazed anytime I see a kid playing the video game Guitar Hero on television or Youtube. What a waste of time! If you’re in this boat I say to you… don’t waste your time learning to strum and fret plastic buttons on a plastic guitar. Get a real axe. They’re cheap, go to any pawn shop and you can pick one up for less than you paid for your Guitar Hero video game. You will find it much, much more rewarding and challenging. It’s easy to play along with your favorite rock and roll tunes. Just learn the 5 standard box positions and how to move these boxes up and down the fretboard to change the key your playing in. Then, by knowing the key of the song you want to play along with, any note you play in that key will sound good and you will have a blast jamming. Don’t be someone who has colored buttons on their guitar.
