We mourn the passing of Bert Weedon, aged 91. I was a Bert Weedon student, having got hold of a copy of his self teaching manual Play in a Day and from there became a non-star.
He pioneered the idea of the guitar being the lead instrument, rather than a part of the rhythm section, which continued for years, from the Shadows to the great Rock Bands.
Weedon was a great giver to charity. Wonderful talent, good egg.
