ESTRELLA ON A SUNDAY

Hope you’ve had a great week, we’ve all managed a couple of days off this week, weather was miserable but our Nathan still managed to go camping – what can we say! Would be good to hear anything you would like us to feature in future blogs but this is what we’ve got today . . .

How to play Rocker Lily

We’ve been asked by many of our fans how to play the guitar riffs for some of our album tracks, so instead of writing plain guitar tab, Luke thought it would be a good idea to show the riff to you guys instead!

As you will see above Luke has put together a short video demonstrating the main riff that is played through the verses of Rocker Lily but first of all please make sure your guitars are tuned to:

Eb: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

Let us know how you get on and if you record yourself playing Rocker Lily be sure to send us the video so that we can feature it on our website!

Estrella to play WORLD’s Shortest Street

We said last week that Estrella would be performing the BIGGEST acoustic gig on the WORLD’S Shortest Street – it is happening on Friday 22 June 4pm - and the shortest street in the WORLD is actually in Wick! - No 1 Bistro, Mackay’s Hotel, Ebenezer Place to be exact! We know that STV cameras will be there so really hoping our fans in Caithness will come along to support us and see this slightly “different” gig! Going to film the performance ourselves for YouTube and part of a future Sunday blog.

goNorth 2012 - Inverness

As you know, we attended the goNorth Showcase and Festival last week in Inverness, not such a rock n roll thing to do but had to give a thumbs up to the music industry seminars, managed a few beers at night and saw some decent bands in the town’s live music venues.

goNorth run their own radio station throughout the festival and while we were there we went to check it out. One of the bands was late for their radio session so we were delighted when Maria Hall, one of the radio presenters, asked us to do an off-the-cuff acoustic number – click on the following link to have a listen to “Whatever It Is”- http://www.radiogonorth.com/2012/06/live-sessions-2012/

We have one more track to feature in the making of our album and that is “Don’t Forget Me” but going to leave that for next week’s blog.
