d halfnote Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Lately I've been unable to get these 2 songs outta mind. Despite Lowell George's lyrical reminder to "learn to remember to forget", that's not worked. Nor has the snazzy knots he tied the E scale into during his gtr solo, which ends in a particularly dramatic, multi-octave dive bomb that plunges off the low end of the fretboard. [*] [video:youtube] The 2nd is Van Morrison's meditation on , well, I'm not really sure but here the primary cause of mental stickiness is Van's (yes that's him on sax !) determinedly evocative blast through almost an entire chorus on a single note. Ah, the power of simplicity ! Check how he reinforces this musical statement in the lyrical recap, as he sprays a string of triplets over , again, basicacly 1 pitch. [video:youtube] [video:youtube] ------------------------------------ [* Those knowledgeable abt Little Feat history, will be aware that he later developed licks that went in the exact opposite direction, scaling stratospheric heights somewhere around the 36th~40th frets, as in "Cold, Cold, Cold / Tripe Face Boogie". Those not aware of that history perhaps should become so.] [video:youtube] d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Great stuff! While not particularly guitarcentric, I've had this stuck in MY ear- both my mind's ear and actually listening with my ears- for a while now.

skipclone 1 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I used to have `Feets Don`t Fail...` on vinyl- takes nothing at all for this to grab my brain and not let go.

whitefang Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Actually, the term is "earWORMS" Earwhigs( really "earwigs" ) are pesky little critters that get into damp places like the creases in lawn furniture cushions, and if they get in the house, keep watch out for them amongst the laundry. Rumored to have gotten the name due to their supposedly burrowing into unsuspecting people's ears, anything I've read about them so far says it'sall legend. But "earworms" are equally pesky due to the fact that (in MY case at least) the tune that inevitably gets "stuck" in your head is usually one you CAN'T STAND! EarWHIGS sounds like something to do with early 19th century politics Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

whitefang Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Wasn't there a Twilight Zone episode about earwigs? That was a NIGHT GALLERY episode that starred LAURENCE HARVEY who hired a guy who said he could have one planted in the ear of anyone Harvey's character wished, and he asked to have it placed in the ear of the husband of a woman he had the hots for, hoping to "comfort" her after her husband's madness and death, but it got put in HIS ear by mistake. E-e-e-e-w-w-w-w-w! Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
