In guitar class, we are studying a certain guitarist. The guitarist I am studying is Richie Sambora. He is famous for playing with Bon Jovi and making his own albums. Here are some facts about Richie Sambora. Richie was born in Perth Amboy,New Jersey,United States. There for he is American. The Led Zeppelin and Arena-Rock Riffs influenced him in his guitar career. He started playing guitar at a early age, starting at age 12 in the early 1970's.He then dropped out of college to join a band that he thought would get him far in life, and ended up not succeeding. Then he started playing for Bon Jovi as lead guitarist. Richie is a heavy metal rocker. He married locklear and gave birth to his daughter Ava Elizabeth. In 1986 album Slippery When Wet and the song "Living on a Prayer”, was released when he played with Bon Jovi. He also released first solo album, Stranger in a Strange Land, Mercury, 1991; another song he released is Undiscovered Soul, Mercury, 1998. The Led Zeppelin influenced him when he was learning guitar they were popular in the 1970's because he created the "metal" genre. He influenced Bon Jovi by joining his band and helped him become Famous. I think that Richie Sambora might have made people enjoy rock more, influencing people to enjoy it more. This makes more people want to listen to rock. I think one of the most interesting facts about Richie Sambora is that he was Bon Jovi's lead guitarist and he helped Bon Jovi become a hit around the world. This is interesting to me because it might have been different if Richie had not dropped out of college for that band that started him off with his guitar success. Another interesting fact is that Richie Sambora played a Les Paul guitar.
