Who played lead guitar on Donovan's Season of the witch?
I know that Hole did a cover of that song on their Unplugged album and a pretty good 60s band called Vanilla Fudge did, too. (Hole, as crazy as it seems, was better - in my opinion.) Misfits had a song by that name, but I don't think it's the same song.

Al Kooper and Stephen Stills did a long version of Season of the Witch on the Super Session album, released about 1969 - great wah-wah work by Stills, Kooper did the vocals. There is a related live version by Kooper and Mike Bloomfield on guitar, from their Live at the Fillmore East record.
Who played guitar on joe cocker's when the night comes?
It looks and sounds like Richie Sambora. Anybody want to challenge me on this?
Seymour Kaplan Actually, you are horribly wrong, Seymour! If you watch the video, Bryan Adams is also playing in the video (he co wrote the song with Jim Vallence), but the lead guiltarist, credited on wikipedia, is Aldo Nova, who played with Joe Cocker. In the video, Aldo Nova is playing solo at 2:30-2:50-ish. Onyxcougar
What is the job description of a guitarist?
If it's a solo guitarist, he or she needs to bring forth a rich melody, so that the piece is not empty. For a rhythm guitarist, he must pitch the steady rhythm of the song, while putting a chord that fits the song and mood in the background. The lead guitar follows along with the rhythm guitarist on little riffs, or single note patterns until he takes a solo in the middle of the song somewhere. He can also add solos tastefully along the way that add to the feel of the song.

How does one loosen the strings on a guitar?
You cannot tighten a guitar string without changing it's tuning. If your string is too loose and it is tuned correctly, try buying heavier gauge strings. Lighter gauge strings need to be more loose that heavy gauge in order to oscillate at the correct amount of hertz to get the same note. Heavier gauge strings can remain fairly tight but due to their size, they tend to oscillate slower.

Where can you find the original painting of the old guitarist?
The Old Guitarist is presently located at the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. It has been there for my whole life, 1947-2009 (at the least). The oils used underneath the final painting are bleeding through and I can tell a big difference in the years I've been looking at it, 1953-2009. The blues are much lighter than I first remember.
