Directions
In this project, you will be writing an "interview" with a dead guitarist. Obviously it's difficult to interview someone who has died, so you are going to write all of their answers based on research you've done on their life and career.
Select one of the guitarists below to research. If there is someone else you'd like to "interview" that didn't make it on to my list, go for it! You must answer the following criteria below using a Question and Answer format. Get creative, give your guitarist a "personality" and some personal stories and tangents. I've embedded an example paper for you to read through below.
Requirements:

Requirements:
- Brief history of the guitarist's early life, where they were born, early performance and composition history, and any information about their personal life.
- Briefly discuss one of their most important songs. Why did they write it? Does it have a special meaning?
- How many pieces they wrote, what was their primary band/instrument, and the last music they wrote.
- How, when, and where did they die?
- Include links to the sources at the bottom of the interview. You must have at least 2 sources.
- Any other interesting information about the character or life of the guitarist?
