Do guitarists really need special seats?

Soundseat brandCurrently I’m using an el-cheapo typist chair bought from the local store. It’s great for my home recording sessions and guitar sessions in my room except for the uneasiness you get when you start to sweat and stuff. Those cheap fabric really makes you bottom itchy after some time. I also chose a chair with no arm rest. That way I can move backwards and lean my back together with the guitar.

Browsing around the today, I started by looking out for theater seatings but ended up looking at some nice chairs that was made for musicians alike. There’s chairs for drummers, chairs for keyboardists and guitarists and even for the sound techs! It was this brand called Soundseat. Boy, it sure looks comfy and all. Their seats can be detached and put in a carrying bag for easy storage and transport. Good for those gigs and tours. You can check em’ out at Soundseat.com. I sure would love to own one soon!

Crossroads Guitar Duel - Steve Vai battles Karate Kid

Well at that’s the dude who acted in Karate Kid. He played the role of a boy who is studying classical guitar but prefers the blues at the end of the day. I just love this movie. This was the time where I really fell in love with the blues. I’m still a crappy guitar player but the blues is like the basis for all guitar playing.

Here he battles the devil after getting some ‘mojo’ from his ‘coach’. The devil is non other than Steve Vai himself. Must be during his younger days. I wonder if he was still with Whitesnake at the time. Anyway, I’m still in search of this movie. Would really love to keep this as a collection. Get ready for some guitar duel people!
