Pete Townshend is an English musician. He is the co-founder, guitarist, second lead vocalist, principal songwriter and leader of the Who, the most influential rock band of the 1960s, 70s and EVER. His aggressive playing style and poetic songwriting techniques, with the Who and in other projects, have earned him critical acclaim.
To appreciate just how good a guitarist he is, have a listen to this isolated (or emphasised if you prefer) guitar track from; 'Sea and Sand'
"Sea and Sand" is a song by The Who. It was released on the group's 1973 rock opera album Quadrophenia, where it is the second track of the third side of the record. The first song to take place once Quadrophenia's narrative moves to Brighton, "Sea and Sand" portrays opera protagonist Jimmy's affinity for the beach as an escape from the unpleasant realities of home and life, as well as his memories from past mod gatherings at Brighton.
