Looks like Bert Weedon, who died last week at the age of 91, had a far-reaching impact on classic rock indeed. His 1957 book, ‘Play in a Day,’ influenced musicians like the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend and Brian May — and now you can add Black Sabbath members Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi to that list as well.

Known as ‘Mr. Guitar,’ Bert Weedon was indirectly responsible for the guitar playing of three of the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend and Brian May. The British guitarist published ‘Play in a Day’ in 1957. The book went on to be listed as an inspiration to a generation of classic rockers.
