dturner Posted May 12, 2002 Author Share Posted May 12, 2002 Hi Tedster... A promise then it is! And if you don't, we will have to think of some suitable punishment... like making you listen to that new Kenny G, Yoko Ono and Michael Bolton trio CD -- "Together At Last" for a few hours straight :( Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wewus432 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Damn right I can play the blues. I have a personal rejection letter from the president of Alligator records. He said I needed to do some serious wood shedding before I even thought about recording. What the hell he know? I can play that shit. Where's my guitar? Turn that up. I can sing it too. That's right I can sing the blues. White boy grew up in the suburbs but I damn well know what the blues is about. I can talk the talk and I can walk the walk. People be playing bluegrass and saying it's the blues. That ain't the blues! I'll show you what the blues is. Where do I upload this shit. I ain't lying.

Chip McDonald Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I'll give it a whirl, I've got a new guitar coming in this week and it'll be a good excuse to give it a "spin around the block"...

spigotsaol.com Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I took he bait! Many, Many thanks to franknputer for hosting my attempt. I passed it about 10 times, and kept the last one. It was played on a Charvell, into a J station, through a Summit TPA-200B pre into a Fairlight. I thought about comping together the best bits of a bunch of takes, but this one says enough. http://franknputer.complexero.com/music/Spigotblues.mp3 Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dturner Posted May 18, 2002 Author Share Posted May 18, 2002 Spigot Frank.... Wow!!!! That is some GREAT playing! Thanks for putting up the tune!!! I especially loved your use of silence in between phrases, and also the way you played around the Hammond solos. Could you describe how you played the fast trill during the Hammond solo at around 1:45 into the song? [Dennis rubs his hands together maniacally... "MMMMWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA.... me plan to steal the best licks in the land is working just as I knew it would"] Oh shit... did I write that, or just think it?

Could you describe how you played the fast trill during the Hammond solo at around 1:45 into the song? Dennis[/b][/quote]Thanks for the compliments. It was fun to do. I think the part you're talking about is an Eddie trick, where you mute the strings with the back of your right hand, and hammer-on/pull-off on one string, usually the g string, at the 5th and 3rd frets. That would make it C-A#-G. Start slow and work at building it up fast. Another thing Eddie did alot was to run his right hand up and down the strings in between the bridge and fret board while doing this kind of hammer on stuff, creating a series of constantly changing harmonics. He did that alot on VH II. And, Wow, what a GREAT track to play against. The B-3 stuff and the groove are fantastic. Have a great week, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
