Notes About The Poem

This is a monrhyme coupler. I apologize if I left your favorite guitar player out. There are so many great guitarists.

* From the 1986 movie Crossroads
* From "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" CDB

*1 Samuel 16:18 a,b,g "Then answered one of the servants and said "Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing......and the LORD is with him"

Make The Strings Hot

Make the strings hot 
When Eddie Van Halen is scalin’
Make the strings hot
When Randy Rhoads fingers explode
Make the strings hot
When Angus Young’s Gibson SG strums
Make the strings hot
With Pete Townsend’s windmill trend
Make the strings hot
When Jimmi Hendrix uses his mouth picks
Make the strings hot
When Jimi Page uses a bow on stage
Make the strings hot
When Jeff Beck serenades the neck
Make the strings hot
When David Gilmore comfortably plays chords
Make the strings hot
When Chuck Berry walks aviary 
Make the strings hot
When Bo Diddly plays it fiddly
Make the strings hot
When you hear Frampton and Clapton
Make the strings hot
When you hear Brian May play
Make the strings hot
In a rockin' classical theme of Yngwie Malmsteen
Make the strings hot
Where Howlin' Wolf 
Said Robert Johnson sold his soul
Make the strings hot
When Eugene Martone and Steve Vai collide*
(And Johnny beat the tempter sly)*
(Of all the Israelite kings)
One, a cunning player of strings*
