slash/angus

[lespaul16]

Hey guys,

im sorry if i havent posted this in the right place or anything

but i thought you guys would probably be able to answer this question

 

 

my question is basically during these guys soloing

they sometimes have, its hard to describe a kind of

the ability to have two different sounds in solos

and i was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is

wether it be a technique or even a scale change or emphasis on

different notes or degrees

 

 

some examples of where you can hear it would be on

 

Rock n roll train -3.27 theres a lick but you can hear

slash and agus even get that same different kinda sound

 

 

or on back in black the live solo, the one featured on the

ac/dc live cd back in black(live version) - starting at about 2.17

 

 

its done by slash in numerous songs, i think youll get what i mean if you hear it

 

thanks very much

2 totally different types of guitars is one difference in their sounds!One plays a Les Paul the other plays a SG.

Hard to know exactly what you mean without an example - a youtube link maybe. However, they might well be alternating between the minor and major pentatonic, as this is quite a common technique and it does indeed sound different.

The secret to making rock guitar sound like rock guitar. A trick as old as Scotty Moore himself...

Are you talking about the wah effect (when talking about slash?) or is it the way he plays?

[lespaul16]

ill give a few youtube links it might help ,

surpup thank you, that might be right

ill post a few youtube links with times,

 

 

the kind of thing im talking about, starts at 3.25

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k816dPQyPAM here it starts, about 2.13

basically, i hope this helps with what i mean haha,

it probably is the switch beween major and minor pentatonics,

but theres the links so you might have a better chance of hearing what i mean

I don't hear what you're hearing, possibly because I haven't studied the tracks as closely as you have. Perhaps he's just angling his pick a bit differently in various parts.

[lespaul16]

(to RichCI)hey, sorry i might actually be making a big deal out of nothing haha

what im trying to get at is that, take for example on the rock n roll train solo

the main solo, then take the example at the time i wrote,

they sound to me, (perhaps its just me haha)

different, in the, might be the phrasing or even a switch to major pentatonics.

if you get a chance, see if you can hear what i mean

[Thundergod]

I still don't get it...

[Kolera]

The only thing I hear on both samples around those areas is a shift from the E-A-D strings to the G-B-E strings. If you know what I mean. Could the explanation be that simple?

Maybe...

[lespaul16]

okay thats tab i found for the lick im on about

what i was asking about, is i think he swtiches to major pentatonic,

what im basically getting at is why at the solo, around 2.25 the main solo of the song

does it sound different to the bit at 3 minutes 25 seconds, which i think is that lick above^
