Herbert Maurice William 'Bert' Weedon, OBE (10 May 1920 – 20 April 2012) was an English guitarist whose style of guitar playing was popular and influential during the 1950s and 1960s. He was the first British guitarist to have a hit record in the UK Singles Chart, in 1959, and his best-selling tutorial guides, Play in a Day, were a major influence on many leading British musicians, such as Eric Clapton, Brian May, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, Dave Davies, Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Tony Iommi and Jimmy Page. He was awarded an OBE in 2001 for his "services to music".
He was born in Burges Road, East Ham, London. Weedon began learning classical guitar at the age of twelve, and decided to become a professional musician. In his teens during the 1930s, he led groups such as the Blue Cumberland Rhythm Boys, and Bert Weedon and His Harlem Hotshots, before making his first solo appearance at East Ham town hall in 1939. He worked with leading performers including Stephane Grappelli and George Shearing, and performed with various big bands and orchestras, including those of Ted Heath and Mantovani.

A track from the album -sweet sounds of bert weedons guitar
Brian May was interviewed by BBC Radio 5 Live Drive following death of Bert Weedon and offers his recollections of the legendary guitarists, who influenced so many of today's great guitarists, who are all thankful for Bert Weedon.
A massive hit for The Shadows, but Bert certainly crafts a nice twist on Jerry Lordan's famous tune. (a heavily worn copy so distorts a little)

I do enjoy doing these guitar video lessons, it's something I never had when I started out, so it's nice to know people like to learn and the others that I have attempted have been generally well received. This is one of the staple tunes that you have to learn to play it has been around at least 50 years and has been recorded by every guitar player from Bert Weedon to Chet Atkins and hundreds of others that's how popular it is so give it a go.

I'm climbin' this ladder,
My head in the clouds
I hope that it matters,
I'm havin' my doubts.
I'm watchin' the skaters
Fly by on the lake.
Ice frozen six feet deep,
How long does it take?
I look out on peaceful lands
With no war nearby,
An ocean of shakin' hands
That grab at the sky.
I'm singin' this borrowed tune
I took from the Rolling Stones,
Alone in this empty room
Too wasted to write my own.
I'm climbin' this ladder,
My heads in the clouds
