Blue Strat Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 The clean guitar part of "Blackhole Sun" by Soundgarden was played through a Leslie. BlueStrat a.k.a.

Corner Pocket Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 On the "Let it Be....Naked" CD you can hear a lovely leslie guitar on "The Long and Winding Road". It's too buried on the Phil Spector mix on the original release to really enjoy it. Paul Peace, Paul ---------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I do believe that "Badge" by Cream uses a Leslie on some parts. A lot of SRV, Jimmy Vaughann, and of course, Vaghann Bro's. tunes use a fender Vibratone rotary cab. One famous "Leslie" tune that actually isn't is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", by the Beatles and guesting Eric Clapton on lead guitar. Evidently Eric and an associate of his (I'll edit his name in, if I find it again) fiddled around with tape-manipulation during mixing to make it sound less "Eric Clapton" and more "Beatles". The resulting warbling, sweeping, phasey sounds have been assumed to be from a Leslie cab for decades by many listeners!

Squ Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hendrix used a leslie a couple times I believe, or at least on Little Wing. Red Red Rockit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRBass Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Actually I've read that Hendrix used the Fender Vibratone rather than a Leslie. It's very similar, but has it's own quality. The Vibratone was also what SRV used on "Cold Shot". A leslie speaker was used by Steve Howe on the Close to the edge album's Siberian Khatru and other songs. Tesla used a leslie on "Love Song". Dave Gilmour used one on some Pink Floyd songs. I'm sure there are a ton of classic examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudcat Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 "Do You Feel Like I Do?" - Frampton. He actually uses a Leslie (or maybe a Vibratone?) on several songs, but this is the only one that comes to mine. Caevan - You are correct about Clapton's track on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." The Abbey Road engineers built a device they called an "Automatic Double Tracker" which was actually more of a tape based flanging device. The story is that after they recorded his part, Clapton said he didn't think it sounded "Beatley enough." Harrison told him not to worry. They would just run it through the ADT to make it sound "more Beatley." I got this story out of "The Beatles Recording Sessions" book. It's a great resource. Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard.

E-money Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I think George's tasty guitar solo on "Old Brown Shoe" is leslie-fied. "Politics are like sports, where all the teams suck" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dervaj Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 "Lady Picture Show" by Stone Temple Pilots and several Zeppelin tunes I AM GOING TO GET ONE! after I get my midi guitar rig completed. I wonder if i put an add in the clasifieds... "Seeking woman, sexy, brunette, with a Leslie"... naa, they would probably think it meant lesie.... "There is no such thing as bad music.

Mark Zeger Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Charlie Hunter's "Natty Dread" has a ton of (what sounds like) his Novax 8 string played through a Leslie. If you're interested in the guitar+Leslie sound, this album is highly recommended. Even if you're not interested in that sound, I still recommend the album for huge grooves and a very clever arrangements of classic Marley.

B3Nut Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Frampton has pretty much always used standard Leslies in his rig. He recently bought a really nice 145 from a good friend of mine in Nashville, guy does great Hammond and Leslie rebuilds. I like running guitar through my Leslie sometimes...I even ran my Taylor acoustic through it, sounded electric-y on tape the way I EQ'd it. I just plug into the Radio-Phono jack inside my B-3.

B3Nut Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Well...Jimmy Smith is still considered the king of jazz organ, and likely always will be. Joey isn't one to take that title from Smith, since Smith is his #1 mentor and idol. Both players have deep respect for each other, and respect from Jimmy Smith is the most impossible thing for an organist to earn. FWIW. That said, Joey D and Tony Monaco are two of the foremost torch-bearers of jazz organ in the new millenium, and IMHO the torch is in very, very good hands indeed. Both men are incredible players and fine gentlemen to boot. I had the pleasure of seeing Tony Monaco live one evening and having pizza with him afterward...kick@$$ player and a helluva nice guy, too.
