E-minor7 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Been enjoying this dark tune since Steppenwolf 7, always knew it was written by Hoyt Axton, but never met his own slightly countryish version before yesterday. Q. : How does he get that almost unreal soft acoustic sound, especially heard in the strumming between verses. Could it be a Gibson with adj. wooden saddle, or can some of you set me on the right track ? (never mind the video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCx8qtC7zOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy2 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Maybe he's not using a pick. I never use one and my guitars sound very different as compared to when someone plays them with a pick. you were right about the video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb3nicduLfM Yeah yeah it's fingers for sure - just thought there was an extra soft-factor to it. vily, , , if you like The Pusher, I have to you bring you this version. Only a few years old, but they take to the sky. Original Steppenwolf = The band that bridged Angels and hippies. John Kay = The man who mixed macho with cool. ! Play Loud !
