apple Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Surprised no one mentioned to play just the handclaps which helps drive the back beat. This is what I used to do and then jam some piano at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossbandbob Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yup boogie piano.. there is no other option really. If you only have 1 guitarist.. you take over the rhythm duties during the solo. Been there, done that!

Griffinator Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 If you have two guitarists and keys, you have too many guitars ;-) Poor Billy Powell, eh? :D A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahZark Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Not worried about trying to recreate the intro acoustic, as I assume the guitarist will take that. The "intro" acoustic is the guitar through the entire song until the electric comes in after the 'bridge' part ("leaves me in a cold cold sweat"). It's the underpinning for the whole tune. As others have said, piano will change the character of the tune. If that's okay, go with piano. If that's not okay, it's not a difficult part to learn on guitar... it'll get you out from behind the keys, impress the audience, and maybe even get you the number of the hot blonde that's been forced to ogle the bass player, because her friend already has dibs on the guitarist. It's precisely because of posts like these that I missed you around this place, Sven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Jx Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My 5 piece band does this song and I use a "2 Acoustics guitar" patch on my Yamaha. My guitarist plays an electric and plays rhythm with me until the lead part kicks in. I know many on this forum stay away from guitar patches on keyboards, but I think, in this instance it works.

HammondDave Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If it were me, I'd disassemble my mic stand, jump out front and play Freddie. You would have to take your shirt off... I don't know about you, but I certainly don't have the body for that.

nadroj Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 So last night I threw in some wurlie as opposed to acoustic piano, as suggested:completely changed the feel of the song, and man, what a groove. It sounded really nice. Now I'm wondering how I can change some of the other songs we do... Hammond SKX Mainstage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works every time... Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
