When you learn to play an instrument, you learn how to feel music...

The first guitar in the world was made in 1000 B.C in Turkey. During this time, the guitar has evolved to today.

The guitar has changed in appearance a lot, but it's always the same type of instrument (plucked musical instrument). And there has been too a lot of guitarists, but now I'm just going to describe my favorite guitarists.

John Frusciante (RHCP), Tom Morello (Audioslave and Rage Against The Machine),Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Daron Malakian (SOAD), Slash (GNR, Velvet Revolver),Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Munk (Korn), Dean DeLeo (STP) and Zakk Wylde (BLS, Ozzy Osbourne)

My favourite rock guitarist is Daron Malakian. He plays in System of a Down and he is the singer in Scars on Broadway. He is Armenian but he lives in the United States. The majority of their lyrics are peaceful or complaining of society, or just funny like Kill rock and roll.

La Isla Bonita - Daron Malakian

The best spanish guitarrist was Paco de Lucia. He was from Cadiz, Andalucia. He had a lots of styles but he always played flamenco.

Paco de Lucia and Camaron

Joe Satriani: In my opinion he is the best guitarrist that I know because he teached to play the guitar to many guitarists that today they are famous like Kirk Hammet (guitarist of Metallica).

Best solo Joe Satriani

THE CHOCOLATE IS AMAZING!!

A BIT OF HISTORY

In 1946 the Italian Pietro Ferrero, owner of a bakery in the Piedmont region, was aware of this situation and decided to create a new candy that had to use large amounts of cocoa. The name of this sweet was Giandujot, a chocolate bar filled with hazelnuts that reduciaa considerably the amount of cocoa and sugar and served in slices on bread. The name comes from a character's puppet, Gianduja, representing the typical Piedmontese.

In 1951, Ferrero had the idea of transforming the chocolate bar in a cream that was easy to spread, with a texture similar to the current Nutella. So he decided to call his new invention as Supercrema Giandujot. The son of Pietro, Michele was taking the reins of the business and in 1964, with the intention of extending its sales beyond the borders of Italy decided to rename and to perfect the recipe. To choose the new trademark opted to use the English meaning of Hazel 'nut', which added the Latin suffix 'it'.

The first jar of this popular cream left the factory on 20 April 1964 and almost fifty years later we can find it in crepes, cakes, chocolate truffles or even ice cream. The greediest may boast of the history of this cream.
