Welcome
Lava-rox…
Once upon a time, a young man picked up a guitar and
changed the world.
In 1939 while in junior high school, Chuck Berry played his first gig. His classmates were impressed with the new bluesy sound. He immediately began learning all he could about the guitar. In 1955 while on the road in Chicago, he met Muddy Waters who recommended he visit Chess studios. There he recorded his first hit “Maybellene”, which went on to sell a million copies and reached number one on Billboard magazine’s rhythm and blues chart. Chuck Berry influenced countless numbers of young musicians including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Elvis, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, and so many more. The music world was never the same.
Another Music Pioneer
Les Paul invented the first solid body electric guitar in 1941 and a new sound was born. Paul also developed the multi- track recorder with which he overdubbed as many as eight different tracks into a single recording. This became the foundation for all future recorded popular music.
