PopTodd Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 isnt skunk playing the bass?? that lead guitarist is unreal. it doesnt even look like hes playing whats coming out of the geetarNo Skunk is the guy w/ the glasses and the huge moustache, and he's on lead guitar. And, that's my point, the camera is not on him during the solo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 my bad. youre right. becker on bass but the original guitarist is the one whos shredding though isnt he? he seems like hes playing way up on the neck and whatnot. i dont know anything about playing obviously Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, that's my point, the camera is not on him during the solo.Right - the camera is on Denny Dias, one of the founding members and the original guitar player. He also plays the sitar solo on Do It Again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Right - the camera is on Denny Dias, one of the founding members and the original guitar player. He also plays the sitar solo on Do It Again. The Sitar solo is a wonder of nature. Always blows me away. I know it was not done on a real Sitar or anything but the phrasing on it is just perfect.

EDIT: don't know if wikipedia is the best source for this stuff but if you believe the wiki, the Do It Again solo is on a real sitar and it is Dias playing it. Elliott Randall did play some Steely Dan solos. "Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has reportedly said that Elliott Randall's guitar solo on "Reelin' In the Years" is his favorite solo of all time.[1][2] That solo was also ranked the 40th best guitar solo of all time by the readers of Guitar World magazine.[3]" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
williamblanda Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Long repetative Grateful Dead songs and Mumford & Sons. Just can't get into them, even if they cover a song I like. Can't enjoy it. Maybe it will change, maybe it wont. As for now, keep 'em the hell away from me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember reading somewhere that it's an electric Sitar, there is no way he played that on a real sitar. Something like this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something like this: Oh you are right. I thought you were saying it was a something else (a guitar maybe) made to sound like a sitar. It seems like it was an electric sitar.

Something like this: Can't see the picture, but 99.9% certain that solo was played on a Coral (electric) Sitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Can't see the picture, but 99.9% certain that solo was played on a Coral (electric) Sitar.Yeah, definitely sounds like a Coral on that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Radiohead.I mean, I get it.I just don't get it. This. And The Flaming Lips. I've tried to get them, but still cannot stomach more than 5 minutes of either band. maybe this instead. if you dont like this you sure as shit dont like Phish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=980JDijx98Y&feature=related Phish is my other big one. It's not jambands in general (I'm a MASSIVE Umphrey's fan), it's just Phish.I enjoy probably 2% of what I hear them do. Most of the improv I hear that people have recommended just goes absolutely nowhere. That song for example. I enjoyed maybe 45 seconds to a minute of it near the end before the vocals came back in. I think they're a "you had to be there" type of band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 After reading the favorite Brit Band/Artist thread, I had another group come to mind: The Jam. Don't get 'em. Never have. And, I really tried to...was looking to up my punk/new wave credibility back in the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The Jam had a few different phases/sounds. I'm assuming, however, that you have heard stuff from throughout their career? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 yeah...for me, the best period is their mid period...they outgrew the simple punkier sound, and Weller hadn't morphed into a Motown wanna be either. Setting Sons, Sound Affects, and All Mod Cons are top-notch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
