GARY HO HO HOEY!

Gary Ho Ho Hoey our favorite Christmas guitarist will be on Wednesday morning at 6:40.

Hoey has maintained that status with a series of blood-boiling albums that are heavy on riffage while upholding the basic rock-and-roll values of melodies, hooks, and heart. He’s also diversified, creating his popular Ho! Ho! Hoey series of Christmas CDs.

Hoey has toured and traded licks with the likes of Brian May (Queen), Ted Nugent, Foreigner, Joe Satriani, The Doobie Bros, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, and Peter Frampton” to name a few.

AIR GUITAR T-SHIRT

Air guitarists now have another instrument in their gig bag -- it's a "wearable instrument shirt." Scientists in Australia created the shirt that lets air musicians make actual music while they strum the air. There are sensors in the shirt along the elbow and sleeve areas that detect and interpret arm movements. It even goes as far as differentiating between right and left arms so one emulates strings being strum and the other is similar to the chords being played. These are then sent wirelessly to guitar audio samples that generate the music. One of those involved in the shirt's creation says it's easy to do and allows music making for those who don't have any real musical skills.
