Terry Illustration -finger tapping


I managed to capture an image of the legendary Chicago guitarist Terry Kath, who died tragically from an accidental self inflicted gunshot wound 32 years ago this month.This guy was the bomb and probably a better guitarist than Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton put together and he was so underrated as a guitarist and i needed to give Terry his recognition and the respected that he was never given. this is when he did his famous hammer on finger tapping technique something Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Joe Satriani, and others to name a few

Today I just finished working on te Carlos Santana painting which I did with charcoal and spray paint , it looks very hippir 1970's style, but has that
Guitar Hero pose that I dig. It was a piece that I had for quite a long time but I needed to finish it off. Sometimes I feel lazy about doing the pieces but my mind is telling me to do something I need your feedback friends.
