chedrob Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 << How bout Robin Trower's "Too Rolling Stoned"..he makes a Strat to sound like something I haven't heard since.Unbelievable.. >> Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" album was recorded by Geoff Emmerick at AIR Studios. I wonder if they used some of the Automatic Double Tracker technology (that was developed for the Beatles at Abbey Road) on the guitar for those sessions. The guitar sound is big and fat and ahead of it's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superG Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 jef beck's solo on freeway jam was at so slick,and revolutionary,it was very easy to take for granted! listen now...you can only smirk at what came after!Eddie van halen's "beat it"solo was,so right for the track,and so "modern",stylistically....incredible. My personal favorites will always be "white room"-sick!,"born under a bad sign"(clapton)-OR-just forget it...Duane Allman-"done somebody wrong"from fillmore east!Duane allman was THE "jimi hendrix" of slide guitar-untouchable! (one more!-sorry!)Hiram Bullock's "little wing" solo(sting)-holy shit G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted September 7, 2001 Author Share Posted September 7, 2001 Hey, SuperG...thanks for yanking this thread from the back pages...I still like to see what everyone listens to and counts as "classic". Speaking of Allman Bros...I have to add the "Cross to Bear" solo, especially how it comes in from "Don't Want You No More"...those notes ripped my guts out the first time I heard 'em...Dickey's solo on "Jessica" after Chuck Leavell's piano solo...man...that sings...

Kendrix Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 Jimi on the original Little Wing. He really soars on that one - and its recorded very cleanly thanks to Eddie K. Got to remember this was done in '67. Check out some tunes here: http://www.garageband.com/artist/KenFava Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendrix Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 Tedster, Thanks for being such a good host with the welcome note. (Either that or you must have wayyyy too much spare time) Actually I had been active on these EQ forums under anopther name prior to the guitar forum poping up.. Been hybernating for a while... got a new internet service/e-mail - so I've changed my identity. Enuf of that Hey any opinions on the optimim of string diameter when trying to get tone similar to J. Becks. Sometmes his stuff sounds very loose / like a slinky string Other passages not so. I know.. I know... It's all in the fingers but... How do you guitarist deal with the tradeoff of heavier strings/better intonation, against slinkier strings/a more fuild/bendable instrument. Currently, I choose either an .009 or a .010 with .046 on the bottom end. The diference betwee these two is significant on my Gretsch.
