Young Lady Playing a Clavichord is a 1660s genre painting by Gerrit Dou.
 It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is today in a private collection.
Will Wallner (born 24 January 1987) is an English rock guitarist and songwriter.
 His main influences are Ritchie Blackmore, Gary Moore and John Sykes.
 He began playing guitar at age 16 and received his first "real guitar", a Gibson Les Paul Custom, which he has played his entire career, at the age of 18.
 He began playing guitar by ear, then had taken his first formal guitar lessons from a rock guitar teacher in his home town of Devon, England.
 He is an alumnus of the prestigious Colyton Grammar School and a graduate of the University of Portsmouth with a BSc in Music and Sound Technology and has also studied at the Musicians Institute, in Hollywood.
 Since 2012 he has been a regular contributor to Guitar World magazine with his weekly blog 'Bent Out of Shape'.
 He currently resides in Los Angeles, California and also owns a recording studio in Berlin, Germany.
Johannes, Jan or Johan Vermeer ( ; ] ; October 1632 – December 1675) was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life.
 Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime.
 He evidently was not wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings.
A Lady Playing the Guitar (after 1670s) is an oil on canvas painting by an unknown copyist after a work by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.
 It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is part of the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The Red Special is the electric guitar designed and built by Queen's guitarist Brian May and his father, Harold, when Brian was a teenager in the early 1960s.
 The Red Special is also sometimes referred to, by May and by others, as the Fireplace or the Old Lady.
 A guitar that would define May's signature style, it was intentionally designed to feed back after he saw Jeff Beck playing live and making different sounds just by moving the guitar in front of the amp.
 He wanted an instrument that was going to be alive and interact with him and the air around him.
Michael Nicolella (born December 31, 1963 in Providence, RI) is an American classical guitarist and composer.
 Described as an iconoclast, he is known for his versatile, adventurous and eclectic approach to repertoire, including the incorporation of electric guitar into his concert programs and recordings.
 Nicolella's repertoire ranges from the Baroque to the present.
 His most recent recording is his own arrangement of the complete cello suites of Johann Sebastian Bach; while his past four recordings focused on contemporary music, including his own compositions, alongside those of Toru Takemitsu, Elliott Carter, Luciano Berio, Hans Werner Henze and Steve Reich.
 He has championed music by such emerging composers as Laurence Crane and Jacob ter Veldhuis and has premiered many works written for him by other composers, including: Joshua Kohl, (of the Degenerate Art Ensemble), David Mesler, Christopher DeLaurenti and John Fitz Rogers, who in 2001 wrote the forty-five-minute piece "Transit" for Nicolella, scored for electric guitar and computer generated sound.
 His own compositions include works for solo guitar, chamber music with guitar, a classical guitar concerto ("Guitar Concerto"), and an electric guitar concerto ("Ten Years Passed").
 His most recent major composition for soprano, guitar (electric and classical) and orchestra, "The Flame of the Blue Star of Twilight", was premiered by the Northwest Symphony Orchestra and soprano Alexandra Picard in April 2012.
 He has performed and collaborated with a wide range of groups and artists including: violinist Gil Shaham, rock singer Jon Anderson, best known for his work as lead vocalist in the progressive rock band Yes, broadway legends Bernadette Peters and Brian Stokes Mitchell, the Seattle Guitar Trio, jazz singer Johnaye Kendrick, classical music comedians Igudesman and Joo and is a frequent guest with the Seattle Symphony.
 Nicolella is a graduate of Yale University, Berklee College of Music and the Accademia Musicale Chigiana.
 He is currently based in Seattle, where he serves on the music faculty of Cornish College of the Arts.
 He is married to the painter Ann Gale.
Arlen Roth (born October 30, 1952 in New York, U.S.) is an American guitarist, recording artist, performer, tutor, and author.
 His first solo album won the Montreux Critics' Award for Best Instrumental Album of the Year in 1978.
 He was a regular columnist for Guitar Player magazine from 1982 to 1992.
 He has performed and recorded with artists such as Bob Dylan, Danny Gatton, John Entwistle, John Prine, Kate Taylor, James Taylor, Livingston Taylor,  John Sebastian, Rick Wakeman, Paul Simon (as well as Simon and Garfunkel), Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Sonny Landreth, Levon Helm, Bill Kirchen, Duane Eddy, Steve Morse, Albert Lee, and Phoebe Snow.
 Roth is a Telecaster enthusiast, and has written the book "Masters of the Telecaster", which details the techniques and licks of many famous Telecaster guitar players.
 As a solo artist Roth performs frequently with his younger daughter, Lexie Roth, a recording artist, performer, and songwriter in her own right.
 He was greatly influenced by Clarence White of The Byrds' string bending style, but at the age of 14, he did not know White had invented a "B-string bender" for his Telecaster, so Roth developed a new style of doing this with fingers alone.
 He thus innovated many string-bending styles on the guitar, simulating a "pedal steel" guitar.
 He is also an innovator in the use of "harmonics" within guitar playing.
The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, formerly known as the Lady Byng Trophy, is presented each year to the National Hockey League "player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability".
 The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy has been awarded 88 times to 53 different players since it was first awarded in 1925.
 The original trophy was donated to the league by Lady Byng of Vimy, then–viceregal consort of Canada.
The Plunderers were an Australian power pop band which formed in May 1984 in Canberra.
 The group's founding mainstays were Nic Dalton on bass guitar and lead vocals and Stevie Plunder (born Anthony Hayes) on lead guitar and vocals.
 In October 1985 they added Andy Waterhole (aka Andy Lewis) on keyboards, guitar and harmony vocals but he left by June the following year.
 The group issued three mini-albums, "Trust Us" (June 1988), "Sarah's not Falling in Love" (April 1990), and "Home Movie" (1992); a live album, "13.7.91 Live!
 Live!
 Live!"
 (1991); and three albums, "No Era Is Safe" (1986), "Half a Cow" (1986), and "Banana Smoothie Honey" (1992); before disbanding later that year.
 Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described their early sound as "a punky brand of power pop that mixed frantic guitar riffs, sharp harmonies and diamond-hard pop melodies" before starting to "explore a more tripped-out kind of psychedelic revivalism".
 In 1989 Dalton and Plunder and their drummer, Geoff Milne, formed a side project, Hippy Dribble, playing "tongue-in-cheek, thrashy neo-psychedelic pop".
 In December 1990 the trio also formed Captain Denim to play "more laid-back songs mostly ... influenced by the likes of Buffalo Springfield, Country & Western and folkrock".
 Both these groups issued material including a split album, "Silver Apples"/"Fade" in 1994.
 In late 1992 former band mates, Lewis and Plunder, formed The Whitlams with Tim Freedman.
 Plunder died on 26 January 1996, at the age of 32 years and Lewis died on 12 February 2000, at the age of 33 years.
Lady's Bridge is the fifth studio album from musician Richard Hawley, released on 20 August 2007 in the UK and on 9 October 2007 in the US.
 The album follows his 2005 Mercury Music Prize-nominated album "Coles Corner".
 It is named after the landmark location of Lady's Bridge in Hawley's hometown of Sheffield, an old bridge over the River Don that historically connected the rich and poor parts of the town.
 Hawley told "Uncut" magazine that "the title is a metaphor too; it's about leaving the past behind".
 The cover features a photograph, taken by Martin Parr, of Hawley and his guitar at the Club 60 music venue in Sheffield as a tribute to his father Dave who had died of lung cancer earlier that year: Dave Hawley had been a blues guitarist at the club in his youth, playing alongside Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker.
