darling67 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Ok here it goes Without a Gibson they would have never gotten out on stage I am not sure what you mean when you say that. They were playing Rickenbackers, Gretschs, and a Höfner (a "Club 40", while Paul was still officially on guitar) when they were cutting their teeth on the stage. Anyway... as a life-long Beatle fanatic, I could add an endless diatribe to this thread. But, instead, I'll keep with the main theme and post one of my favorite guitar solos of all-time. George and John "dueting" on their sonic blue Stratocasters. Simple yet effective.... both rhythmic and melodic... iconic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-KAv6zghRQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valeriy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 After some attempts to duplicate the sound of the Beatles’ songs I came to the conclusion that it is not necessary to repeat strictly the manner or style of Lennon or Harrison. With a glance to their genius, however, each guitar player has his own signature manner and even own sound and these personal properties are needed to be in progress. When we were learning the above I Feel Fine, we also encountered difficulties in guitar sound of this song. Finally we with our guitar player represented Lennon’s riff by the two our guitars in convenient manner for us . If you are interesting I can show our video with the cover-version I Feel Fine, there is also a film crew of BBS channel in this video, which was in Russia and shooting our performance on the camera. Then they used their record in one of their films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldtop2 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I personally thought "Twist & Shout" was ingenious a smash hit! but it wasn't written by Lennon or Harrison but Burt Russell. Did I get that one right Burt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valeriy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I do not know exactly who wrote, but yes, it's not their song. John was speaking it seems that he was always ripping off the voice on this song. Like he said, this devilish song! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valeriy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Probably slide technique was the best and suitable for George as his own manner. By the way, here is Twist and Shout, here the Beatles for the first time ventured to start with this risky song when they came to America. Usually Lennon put it at the end of the performance.

cookieman15061 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Look no further than than top 40 radio in the 70s to witness George's influence on slide playing. From Badfinger to America to Linda Ronstadt, all were incorporating cool Beatlesque slide solos into their songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
