Guitar Spaceship is featuring the bands of "The British Invasion" this month. The new posting includes videos of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Cream, The Who and The Animals.
Please go to www.guitarspaceship.com/archive/2009Feb_BritishInvasion.html to watch the new videos.
"The British Invasion was the term applied by the news media - and subsequently by consumers - to the influx of rock and roll, beat and pop performers from the United Kingdom who became popular in the United States and Canada. The classic British Invasion period was 1964 to 1967 (roughly bracketed by The Beatles' appearance on Ed Sullivan and the emergence of Jimi Hendrix as a U.S.-born superstar who had his first success in the UK)." (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: January 31, 2009 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Invasion)
In an attempt to stay true to the time frame of the original British Invasion, all of the videos posted this month were made between 1964 and 1967 (to the best of my knowledge).
I'm also pleased to announce that many "Musician" pages have been added this month to GuitarSpaceship.com. Some of my favorites from the new batch are Jimmy Page, Dick Dale, Julian Bream and Buckethead. Please go to www.guitarspaceship.com/musicians/index.html to check out the "Musician" pages.
As always, please let me know if you have any comments or ideas about Guitar Spaceship. I would love to hear from you.

About Me
- Guitar Spaceship
- GuitarSpaceship.com features video clips of master guitarists playing their music.
Ever since YouTube came around, I've become a huge fan of finding clips of master guitarists playing their music. Watching the musicians perform helps me to understand them more deeply, and I'm oftentimes blown away by the raw emotional power and virtuosity of the guitar playing.
I enjoy watching these clips so much that I decided to compile them on a website so that I could go there when I needed some inspiration. And I also thought that it would be great if other people could stumble upon the clips and find inspiration, too.
So to start things off, I am pledging to myself to post 4 excellent clips each month at GuitarSpaceship.com centered around a specific theme, such as Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass, Rock and Roll, Country, or Classical Guitar. Also, as I have time, I will add "Musician" pages that feature videos of specific musicians.
So relax, take a deep breath, and spend fifteen minutes watching this month's clips. And if you have headphones, I recommend that you use them. You are about to hear beautiful music.
