the Real Thing....BEFORE.

Of course I´m totally wrong.

As always.

No ways, of return.

Road Map,....to the top of your world.

Sahara Hotnights are mentioned at Drive My Guitar earlier:
february 2006.
By the way. I did it my way. Nothing to pay. I never sit on the dock of the bay.
I never studied the books of Mel Bay.

Feel safe in the case

Coffin Case - these kind of pictures are forbidden at Drive my Guitar.
The Guitar is to nasty, and the case to reminding, frightening.
Some people say that they can see a girl here, .....for me invisible!
Thats because I have garlic and onion hangin on my computer.
Talk with your guitardoctor about this really hard case.
Would it really be suitable?

But, those balls?

Hmm, Wall Street....it´s BALL STREET !

Why keeping in shape ?

Must guitarplayers do it too? Isn´t it enough lifting a hamburger?

Yes, once I laughed when I saw the pianoplayer´s struggles.

Not any more. They are principly right, as always.

Look at Yngwie, he´s ready for Beach Watch.

I´m sorry I don´t know this source, or any names, it´s only a photo-copy.

Good luck Jerry Lee, by the way.

Once again. TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE

The famous film "The Deer Hunter" included some good PR for the guitar. Not everybody knew about the recording of the theme. Mostly classical guitar freaks thought that it was purely sologuitar...

Guitar Player Magazine told the truth.

This is already many years ago, but I still say; The future for the accoustic/classical is at it´s best, in a duo....

It´s entertaining.

RECYCLING THROUGH RE-MASTERING

project Almeida Club 1998

Just before christmas I happily had the possibility to remaster some takes digitally. First of all I got up the output level, and besides that the dynamics appeared better. I heard directly that details and intensions in my own playing is more "visible".

About these two particular projects, for me; it was worth it then, but even more today.

Sketch of...(6)

Summertime Blues (Cochran&Capeheart 1958)

This key is not the most popular among guitarplayers, "begin with an B major chord please...". "No thank you".

But it can have interesting solutions in the upper melodyline. In this case it gives room to play both melody and bass properly at the same time..., still with some realistic connection to the original.

But, of course, this punky rock´n roll classic is at it´s best in the band. This is not the typical twelve bar boogie/blues, it have other ingredients too.

Sketch of...(5)

Boom Boom (John Lee Hooker 1962)

This piece have, to be one of his tunes, relatively much movement in the bass. Often John Lee Hooker on his early recordings went back to an more primitive bluestradition. Almost directly talkin to the listener, while foot tappin on the floor and it could be planted on using only one chord or bassriff (vamp)

When I saw my sketch completed, it visually, without the real close-up, reminded me of, the many times typical structure in a piece of the great Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757). Two voices move around, it´s often enough..., for anything.

From John Lee´s lyrics;

Boom, boom,boom, --

gonna shot you right down,--

Take you in my arms, --

I´m in love with you, --

I like the way walk, --

I like the way you talk, --

When you walk that walk, --

And you talk that talk, --

You knock me out, --

Right off my feet

Sketch of...(4)

Little Queenie (Chuck Berry 1959)

He was called the "big big daddy of them all" , in the speakers presentation before the live concert recording at Fillmore East, San Fransisco (?), already nearly forty years ago... As a mother of fact, specially, many of the Rolling Stones´ covers didn´t reduce the boogie. Shortly, in the lyrics of Little Queenie I find;

"There she is again,

standin´over the record machine, ---

lookin´like a model

on the the cover of a magazine, ---

She´s too cute

to be a minute over seventeen"

For sure, these were not chosen words by Bing Crosby.
