Guitarzan Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 i am sure most of you allready know what the thread is about , and now it is time to choose the song. if not, read this.. explaination http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will
Gruupi Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I picked Layla, mostly cause its the song I am most familiar with. Some of the songs on that list I have never heard even though they are from my era. By the way, this is a good idea Zan, getting deep into a song. I'm sure it will be enlightning.

Guitarzan Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 i think this would be a great learning experience, by getting into the song and really looking and hearing everything, including tone and interplay of the instruments. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will

Mudcat Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Voted for Layla. I missed Life's Been Good. I'll be happy to comment on either. Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big. Wear glasses if you need 'em."-The Webb Wilder Credo-
Guitar Geezer Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/geezer123/joeacoustic.jpg plus, I actually know that song fairly well But it's all good Lynn G
King Kamehameha Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I voted for the only one I know: Celebration Song! "My two Fender Basses, I just call them "Lesbos" because of the time they spend together in the closet."-Durockrolly This has been a Maisie production. (Directed in part by Spiderman)
fantasticsound Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I've been doing this for years. It was part of training from a studio class I took with Marty Feldman (the sound engineer, not the google-eyed actor. ) at Columbia College. (In Marty's Paragon Studios, actually.) I voted for Joe Walsh. I love the song. Love Joe's tones. Love his less than pure-singing voice. I love the original version of Layla, but talk about the tones? They're grating if you ask me. That song needed a new version years before Clapton ruined it by doing the unplugged arrangement. Took a heart-wrenching lyric with music to match and turned it into a :yawn: sleep aid. Layla is one of the great songs I'd rather not analyze for tones. I neither know any of the others, nor do I have them on any recordings. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

superdave Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I vote for layla. Are you guys going to post tabs?
S. Yeti Bigfoot, Esq. Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Are we talking about the original Derek and the Dominoes Layla or the Clapton Unplugged acoustic version? "And so I definitely, when I have a daughter, I have a lot of good advice for her." ~Paris Hilton BWAAAHAAAHAAHAAA!!!
Rampdog Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Layla....The late (I believe) Jim Gordon wrote the piano solo at the end of that song... He also played drums for Derrick and the Dominos. Arthur Feidler from the Boston Pops claimed that piano solo to be one of the most moving modern passages he had ever heard... If it ain't fun...why do it...? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=778394&content=music

Ricardo. Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I'm pretty sure we're talking about the original.
Kramer Ferrington III. Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 I'm blown out by the number of you either saying or implying that you've never heard Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty! It's a fantastic song, that sax just spins me out every time and the recording is fantastic. Ohm and the guitar solo at the end is a total cosmic freak out. Good call, I doubt it'll win but what a cool song! Band MySpace My snazzy t-shirt empire
Bytored Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Layla.......auughh anything but layla. Guess it one of those songs, at least for me, that I have heard way to much on the radio, thank god for XM. What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound It's got wires that vibrate, and give music What can this thing be that I found?

Kramer Ferrington III. Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Originally posted by Tired.Old.Lemon: Apart from me... Think I may check it out though. I get the feeling you just don't know that THAT song with the sax is called "Baker Street". It's been a staple on various radio formats since it came out in 1978 or whenever it was.

S. Yeti Bigfoot, Esq. Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 I'm pretty sure you know it, you just don't recognize the name. It's gotten a LOT of air time since it came out in the late '70s (Gerry Rafferty Station to Station album). The Foo Fighters did a cover of it a while back that just (IMHO) didn't make it. It was a song about busking at one of the stations on the London Underground.. "And so I definitely, when I have a daughter, I have a lot of good advice for her." ~Paris Hilton BWAAAHAAAHAAHAAA!!!

Yeah, it was hard to get though the 80's with out hearing that song. Great tune. Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music
