    Guitar Lead
Click For Summary
The double lead guitar technique, initially introduced by George Harrison on "Your Bird Can Sing," gained prominence through Jimmy Page's use in "Ramble On" and became a hallmark of the Allman Brothers. This technique is appreciated for its soaring sound, unmatched by other instruments. In contemporary music, artists like Orianthi and D_Drive continue to innovate within this style, showcasing complex guitar work. D_Drive's performances, particularly Yuki's cover of "Highly Strung," exemplify the technique's evolution. The discussion also highlights the varying quality of concerts relative to ticket prices, emphasizing that fame often dictates cost rather than performance quality. Notable mentions include Larkin Poe's rise in southern rock and various young prodigies, such as Evlee and Maya Neelakantan, who are gaining attention for their exceptional musical talents. The thread underscores the ongoing evolution of guitar music and the significance of passionate performances over mere fame.

I love McCoy Tyner's cocktail piano.

The Nankai Trio. The James Brown fatback beat goes fusion. Numba One on my hit parade.



That drum fill at 1:00 burns me up. Why doesn't everyone do that? They probably will, sooner or later.

Here's James and the Famous Flames doing the original fatback. They say the drummer is Clyde Stubblefield.



Dennis Chambers said that when he was 13 years old he was so good at the fatback beat that James tried to hire him. James wouldn't provide a tutor though so Mom said no.

She was at this time 16 years old. It was a contest in which contestants played over the same prerecorded track.

Nankai Trio. Guitarist Shoya Kitagawa [Northriver] burning it up.



They are performing in October in Tokyo in tiny jazz clubs. I might go see them.

I don't worry much about genres, but I'd say no. Punk had a emphasis on being unskilled. I'd say that ebass slapper has the best chops I've ever heard. Her stage name is F Chopper Kago. I once tried to get her autograph without buying any merchandise. She just smiled and said no.

Japanese rock tends to be a lot faster and complicated than the western style. Even TV shows have theme songs like this. Japanese kids are all energetic. No exceptions.

There was a punk movement in Japan that died out some years ago. I like this number, which very strangely sounds like English. Is that just some huge coincidence? I guess so.



I once read "if there is ever an anarchist movement in Japan it will be a very well organized one."
