By now, everyone knows the Yardbirds legend, if not their music; the band graduated three of the great Ph.D.s of rock guitar: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.

They created hard rock out of standard twelve-bar blues, doubling the tempos and whacking the amps up to ten. On the British club scene, the Yardbirds, the Animals, and the Rolling Stones ruled the stages. The Yardbirds expanded the range of the electric guitar, experimenting with feedback, sustain, and fuzztone. Yes, the Yardbirds laid the groundwork for Rock Guitar As We Know It.

The Yardbirds continue their traditions of recruiting some of the best talent in the business, and the current line-up exemplifies this:

Andy Mitchell- vocalist, harmonica
Ben King - lead guitar
Chris Dreja - rhythm guitar, backing vocal
David Smale- bass guitar
Jim McCarty - drums, backing vocal
