The guitarist (aka Orianthi Panagaris) from Adelaide, Australia, has performed with Steve Vai, Santana, Prince and Carrie Underwood. This week, she’ll be seen playing blistering solos for Wanna Be Starting Something and Dirty Diana alongside the King of Pop in the new Michael Jackson documentary.

And Tuesday, she fulfills another dream: the arrival of her debut disc, Believe (on which she sings and plays guitar), after two years of writing and recording. The album’s release, postponed from summer while she rehearsed with Jackson, now coincides with the film.

“It’s a real guitar-based record,” says Orianthi, 24. “There’s a guitar solo on every track.”

Orianthi rattles off the high points in her career as if she herself can’t believe them. She began playing guitar at 6 and cut her first demo when she was 14. At 15, she was opening for Vai.

By the time she was 18, her demo had found its way into the hands of Carlos Santana, who invited her to jam with him at a concert in Australia. Then came a record deal with Geffen Records and a move to L.A.

After her attention-grabbing Grammy performance with Underwood in February, she received a MySpace message from Jackson’s musical director, inviting her to audition for the lead guitarist spot on the This Is It concerts.

“I was just blown away,” she says. “I didn’t think it was for real.”

Next thing she knew, she was playing Beat It for Jackson.

“He started walking me up and down the stage,” Orianthi says. “And he asked, ‘Can you play that solo for me when walking at this pace?’ And I said, ‘Totally.’ It was an amazing moment.”

Another “amazing” moment followed during rehearsals, when Jackson gave Orianthi an extra guitar solo during Black or White.

Hal Leonard – the print publishing company – was founded in 1947, after the Hal Leonard Band broke up. At the time, Ev started a music store using the Hal Leonard name while Roger and Harold were both directing award-winning high school bands in Winona. In those days, most school bands played serious literature, but Harold and Roger had the unique ability (because of their professional experience) to arrange “popular” music for school bands. Soon band directors across the U.S. wanted their arrangements. They started to mimeograph copies and sell them. They realized that to successfully launch a new publishing company, they needed to license songs, so they ventured to New York’s Tin Pan Alley in search of copyrights. What they got on their trip was an education in publishing and the rights to “I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now,” one of the most popular songs of the day. Eventually, many music publishers in New York were licensing Hal Leonard to do school band arrangements of their songs. Thus began their publishing business and a new industry.

The company grew and soon choral arrangements and a wider variety of band arrangements were added to their catalog of publications. In the early 1950s, the home organ industry began to grow rapidly. That is when Hal Leonard published The Pointer System for Organ, which eventually became the bestselling organ instruction method ever created. That method soon led to the first organ “benchpack,” which featured instruction books and songbooks packaged in the bench of an organ. In the late 1950s, The Pointer Systems for Guitar and Piano debuted, introducing millions of beginners to instant playing success.

In the mid-1960s, Hal Leonard began marketing band and choral music to educators by sending recordings of arrangements through the mail. This unique promotional concept is still used by virtually every music print publisher in the industry.

In 1970, Keith Mardak and associates started a new division of Hal Leonard in Milwaukee called Learning Unlimited to create the first book/audio music education products. This division soon outgrew the other divisions combined, and Mardak became general manager for the entire company. Shortly afterward, the Hal Leonard Guitar Method was launched, becoming one of the first methods to incorporate popular music. Released in 2002 in an updated Second Edition, this course today remains the leading guitar method in the world; it has taught millions of people how to play.

Hal Leonard continued to grow throughout the 1970s and in 1980 made the giant leap into popular music print publishing when it established a unique and very close relationship with Chappell Music, the world’s largest music publisher. Shortly thereafter, Hal Leonard increased its presence in virtually every music print market around the world. As a result, facilities in both Milwaukee and Winona were vastly expanded to accommodate corporate growth.

In 1985, Hal Leonard was purchased from the original founders by an internal management team led by Mardak. Since then, it has experienced consistent, dramatic growth due to creative, innovative and aggressive publishing and marketing.

Today, Hal Leonard Corporation, led by Chairman and CEO Keith Mardak and President Larry Morton, is the world leader in the music print industry. The company produces sheet music, songbooks, and method book/CD packs for all instruments, as well as band and choral arrangements, reference books, instructional DVDs and videos, CD-ROMs and other music software, children’s music products and more.

In its more than 120,000 available titles, Hal Leonard represents in print some of the world’s best known and most respected artists, such as: Aerosmith, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Mariah Carey, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Kelly Clarkson, Miles Davis, Neil Diamond, The Doors, Josh Groban, Jimi Hendrix, Billy Joel, Elton John, Robert Johnson, B.B. King, Diana Krall, Sarah McLachlan, Pat Metheny, Nirvana, Ozzy Osbourne, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd, The Police, Elvis Presley, Queen, Bonnie Raitt, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Frank Sinatra, Sting, Styx, Justin Timberlake, U2, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Who, Hank Williams, Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa and hundreds of others, plus the music of Irving Berlin, Disney, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Motown and Rodgers & Hammerstein.

Hal Leonard products are sold in more than 65 countries throughout the world through a large network of distributors. Domestically, the company markets its product to more than 7,500 music stores in the United States and Canada through a team of 45 sales representatives. Hal Leonard products are also sold through mass merchants and in bookstores, variety stores, toy stores, television shopping networks, department stores, electronics stores, record stores, and many other locations, as well as on the Internet. The company currently operates many leading music websites, including HalLeonard.com, SheetMusicDirect.us, BandMusicDirect.com, OrchestraMusicDirect.com, ChoralMusicDirect.com, http://GuitarInstructor.com, http://GuitarEdge.com and more.

Eruption starts with a short accompanied introduction with brother Alex Van Halen on drums and Michael Anthony on bass. The highlight of the solo is the use of fretboard tapping. Eruption was played on the Frankenstrat, with a phaser. A 1960s Marshall tube amp, an Echoplex, a Univox echo box, and studio plate reverb helped define the distinctive tone of the track. The Frankenstrat was tuned a half-step down from regular guitar tuning. Eruption begins in the key of A flat and ends on a E flat note that is a twelfth fret, 6th string harmonic processed through a Univox echo box effect and lowered an octave by an Echoplex.
The Eruption introduction is based on “Let Me Swim” by Cactus [3]. Later in the introduction, an E-flat major quotation of the Etude No. 2 by Rodolphe Kreutzer is heard. The piece that would later be named Eruption had existed as part of Van Halen’s stage act at least as far back as 1976, when it initially featured no tapping. 1 Eruption popularized the guitar tapping trend of the 1980s. Although one-handed tapping (hammer-ons and pull-offs) had been previously done by many guitarists, Van Halen introduced two-handed tapping to the mainstream popular rock audience. The main tapping part of Eruption uses a chord structure and style similar to Baroque Music. Similarly, Baroque-like tapping had been recorded by Steve Hackett of Genesis in 1971 1972.
Initially, Eruption was not considered a song for Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen used it as a studio warm up; however, producer Ted Templeman overheard the solo and asked that it appear as a track on the album. Eddie recalled “I didn’t even play it right. There’s a mistake at the top end of it. To this day, whenever I hear it I always think, ‘Man, I could’ve played it better.’”[4]
Spanish Fly, an acoustic instrumental on Van Halen II, can be viewed as a nylon-string version of Eruption, expanding on similar techniques. Similarly, it was suggested by Templeman for inclusion on the album after he heard Eddie Van Halen playing a classical guitar. In March 2005, Q magazine placed “Eruption” at number 29 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. “Eruption” has also been named the 2nd greatest guitar solo by Guitar World magazine.
The song is featured in Guitar Hero: Van Halen and is considered one of, if not the, most difficult songs in the game.

And if you’ve had the privilege of hearing him play, you also know he’s one of the most phenomenal guitar players in rock today.

These two facts alone are enough to amp up the guilt in your “I can’t because . . .” file.

But you can’t feel bad around him. There’s something about John that makes you want to celebrate … to marvel … to wonder what it is about his playing that moves you so deeply.

What you can know is that 1) John doesn’t read music. 2) He had to invent a makeshift picking device before he could even attempt the guitar. And 3) He honed his skills by learning to play Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption” by ear.

What you can hear is the result of endless hours, days, and weeks of going deeper and deeper. and deeper still. Searching for ways to coax and stretch and pick and purge every exquisite sound from those strings.

And what you can feel is the existence of a creative force transcending the conscious mind.

This goes far beyond ability.

Technical proficiency, even as stunning as John’s, is still only the key that opens the door. Stepping through, surrendering that hard-won proficiency, surrendering control, to a force far greater than individual perspective…that takes real courage.

This courageous “letting go” seems to be where John’s musical magnificence is fully realized.

When you experience John playing from this dynamic, monstrous place— feeling the rapid fire riffs shooting through his veins, muscle and tendon tensing with every surge and crash of soul jarring sound–there are no words to adequately express your amazement.

You just want to laugh with the joy of it.

It is the place you’ve hungered for. The elusive “home” you want to return to…but can’t seem to find.

And you can’t help but gravitate to people like John who have found it. You want to bask in the warmth of their atmosphere. Especially when you believe your own passionate dreams can’t be shaped and offered up for entrance.

So maybe what moves us so deeply when John plays it involves our own primal longing . . .

Maybe it’s the sound from the other side of the door.

Maybe it’s a renewed sense of our own possibility.

Maybe it’s John demonstrating so clearly that the only real disabilities are fear and doubt.

Maybe it’s all of that … and some really cool music! John Denner Ernie Ball Guitarist

Sam noted he didn’t think Artie should hunt given the fact that animals both suffer a great deal when hunted and sometimes are merely wounded and not killed when struck. However, Ted claimed 90 percent of animals “hit” while hunting with a bow and arrow are killed, while another 8 percent allegedly survive like nothing happened. Because Ted compared hunting to the way animals harm other animals in everyday life during his argument, Sam noted the situations weren’t analogous, and insisted Ted was just adding more “suffering in the world” through his actions.

KILLING MORE THAN JUST DEER
Sam brought up how Ted supported canned hunts in Africa where wild animals like leopards were made to run down an enclosed area while hunters shot at them. Ted replied, though, that every part of the animals he killed in Africa went to the people of the area, and admitted to having killed and eaten zebras and elephants as well. This led Sam to claim Ted made “a ton of money” off his hunting, but Ted denied the allegation, adding “no check” had ever been written to him because of hunting.

DECIDING TO SIT IT OUT
Sam acknowledged his main problem with hunting was the pleasure hunters took in killing animals, while Artie admitted he didn’t see the difference in eating a steak and not killing the animals himself. Artie then asked Sam if he had a problem with Tom’s lifestyle, given that he needed to hunt to survive, and he said he didn’t, as long Tom needed to hunt to eat, but that it wasn’t necessary for Ted to do the same thing.

Given all the information he’d heard, Artie then promised he wouldn’t go bow-hunting, but, if he was legally permitted to hunt with a gun given of his record as a felon, he’d think about it more before making his decision. Both Howard and Robin acknowledged, though, that they were siding with Sam on the debate, and Artie ended up agreeing with them.

AN UNEQUAL “SPORT”
Howard took a number of calls on the topic, including one from a listener who referred to hunting as “a sport.” This led Gary to get on his intercom and question the caller’s definition of “sport,” pointing out he didn’t think a person with a gun was a fair match against a defenseless animal. However, the caller insisted it was, and added he thought animals like deer knew when hunting season started, and avoided walking around much because they knew they were involved in “the game.”

He lost a limb and his story about turning his life around afterward is now a finalist in the Mutual of OMaha, aha moment campaign. If enough people vote for him in the next two weeks he’ll be featured in the 2010 ad campaign and give the story a big boost.

thanks for looking and if you like feel free to tell everyone you know.

thanks,

Ed
