Meez Avatar Generator



Creating the Meez avatar and posting it to the blog was easy. For the animation to work, you must copy and paste the html code for the animation into the Blogger HTML editor.

I wish the Fender Telecaster guitar could be shown plugged into a vintage Fender amplifier!

The animation is much more limited than the original to save bandwith.

As for a real guitar player, I'd say Eric Clapton is the Segovia of modern blues guitar.

Eric Clapton's MTV Unplugged concert inspired a new generation of guitar players to take up acoustic guitar at a time when synthesizers and drum machines ruled the airwaves. Clapton also helped to revive the fortunes of C. F. Martin & Co. One of Martin's most popular production models today is the 000-28EC.

Read Clapton's 1993 interview with MTV Unplugged producer Alex Coletti, which is posted at http://www.clapton-online.com/clapton/mags/gl0694/ecgl0694.html
