Metallica’s “Shoot Me Again” - Remastered 2007 (by atrayuMasterHero)
According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel during the recording session to imagine he had been told his mother was dead but the rumor wasn’t true. The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans. Though several other musicians began the track playing, Clinton soon realized the power of Hazel’s solo and faded them out so that the focus would be on Hazel’s guitar. Critics have described the solo as “lengthy, mind-melting” and the ending as “an emotional apocalypse of sound.”
The entire track was recorded in one take. The solo is mostly played in a pentatonic minor scale in the key of E over another guitar track of a simple arpeggio. Hazel’s solo was played through a fuzzbox and a Crybaby Wah wah pedal; some sections of the song utilize a delay effect. (via Wikipedia)
FUNKADELIC Maggot Brain - Eddie Hazel & Michael Hampton (Maryland 1983) (via supergolfer257)
One really cool piece of funk solo on a Teisco Tulip guitar from the 60s with one pickup. Definitely a special sound, especially with high notes.
"After tremolo, fuzz and reverb, wah-wah is one of the earliest effects, and certainly one of the most expressive. Its interactive nature means everyone uses the wah-wah a little differently. Some players rock the pedal in time with the song. Others use it to outline phrases. Others use it as a tone filter. That sense of individuality is a great metaphor for the guitar itself; all distilled down into a space small enough to fit under your foot. Here are the 10 best wah-wah solos."
Frank Zappa started playing the guitar with a very concrete objetive: he wanted to play VERY LONG solos over his R&B records. He was his own guitar teacher. Zappa learnt lots of blues licks from his first influences: Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Johnny “Guitar” Watson, and, specially, Guitar Slim. In spite of this, Zappa, years later, recommended: “If you want to learn how to play guitar, listen to Wes Montgomery”. (via ArFZ)
The Concerto for Group and Orchestra is a concerto composed by Jon Lord, with lyrics written by Ian Gillan. It was first performed by Deep Purple and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Malcolm Arnold on 24 September 1969 and released on vinyl in December 1969.
First movement (Moderato - Allegro): after an elaborate orchestral introduction the Group and theOrchestra work as separate blocks, trying to get dominance over the main theme - this opposition of a group of soloists against an orchestra is quite “concerto grosso” style.
