Rocky4 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Listen to the guitar solo. He opted not to use the slide and do the solo from the recorded song. I'm just a hack but the original solo seems simple until you try to play it. I just can't get it down. Maybe the guitarist felt he couldn't nail it live also? For those of you who play or have played in bands, what route would you take? Could you play the original solo, or would you make up something else of your own? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkAu3ijigeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Their, I renamed it to make it more appealing to the forum. How wrong of me to think you'd actually be interested in a topic that concerned guitar playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Well, here you go, Coop! Monica Bellucci Keeley Hazell As to that "solo!" There's software, that allows you to slow down, without losing pitch, to learn those solo's, note for note...if that's your interest. Or, you can do it, the old fashioned way, of playing it over and over, and picking out segments, and piecing it together, as you go. I wore out a LOT of records, doing that, back in the "Good Old Days!" LOL CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The vid was shut down..........Thank goodness the girls weren't....... As per the solo; It's a simple solo to do in regular tuning.... With practice, it should take 1/2 second to slip a slide on..... I just did it.....to the song; to verify the above........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I know how to play it, I just can't get it down. Why do you think the guitarist chose not to play slide? I can't answer that. Only he would know. You say you know "How" to play it, but can't seem to get it "down." What (exactly) are you having trouble with? Timing, "tone," or what? Seems like a simple enough solo, to do...slide or otherwise. You probably just need to keep at it, a bit more? He's playing through a Leslie cabinet, for at least part of the song. That creates it's own unique tone/sound...played finger style or slide. Don't know what else, to tell you, really... Sorry... ;>b CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I've done this song with several bands. I have always played the solo with no slide. It's easy enough to emulate a slide by bending and sliding my fingers. I also like to play the solo from "Buddy Holly" by Weezer over the chords. It, fit's perfectly, you just have to adjust the timing a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part of me feels that it's rock n roll and you play what ya feel like playing. It's not a difficult solo but I have heard conflicting reports that It was actually George Harrison instead of Joey Molland that played that on record.

Versatile Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 IMHO in the early 70's post Beatles, George Harrison overdid it a bit with the slide Slide works best on a dedicated guitar with suitable action and strings.... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I Loved, George Harrison's Slide playing! So melodic, and different, than the usual "blues" type. I don't think he "over-did" it, at all. But, that's just me. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His influence was such that a whole stable of new young artist were adding slide solos to their songs in the early 70s. Badfinger, America and even Linda Ronstadt had hit singles with Harrison type slide solos. Just to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very innovative, when it came to chord structures (his "naughty chords" Augmented, Diminished, etc.) and using unusual instrumentation (Sitar, for one), or "slide" in other than the traditional "blues" way. "Too much?" Never!! His whole thing, was to be "right" for the song, both in style, and taste! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yes good points Not to detract in any way from George's iconic status and influence on many budding guitarists I am a huge fan of George and love the melody and taste in his well constructed lead breaks and fills IMO George and Eric Clapton wrote the book on blues and rock/pop And both excellent slide players....
