[QUOTE=Distant Echoes]dubbing is very popular in classic rock, i do it alot when recording myself, but some solos have up to 4 guitars overdubbed...and wether their playing the same thing over eachother, it just gives it that edge.

and to who asked to do the report on, go with the beatles. They have so much more history to them and really set the path for all music, not by talent, but by inspiration (<- good intro statement :lol: ) but people usually dont give them a chance since they are very old, music is pretty slow, and experimentation is usually too much for a modern listener to take[/QUOTE]

psh. the beatles didnt lack talent by any stretch of the mind.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Well, I'm not saying he's not fantastic (He is unbelievably good, and posses talents that other guitarist don't have), but I was playing "Power To Love" on my friends Guitarport (I believe that's its name) and everything was beautifully written, but it wasn't as difficult as many make it out to be. And I'm not trying to say I'm a great guitarist, but I'm sure some of you feel that way.[/QUOTE]

Yea I know what you mean. Aside from some obscure note choices, Jimi's music isn't THAT hard. There are a few challenging parts, but it can be easy too. Good thing it stills rules.

[QUOTE=magicbus]Yea I know what you mean. Aside from some obscure note choices, Jimi's music isn't THAT hard. There are a few challenging parts, but it can be easy too. Good thing it stills rules.[/QUOTE]

yeah its fairly easy when played straight forward but it takes a pretty good player to nail down all the little nuances jimi played during his rythym parts and solos. many people write him off as mainly inspiration but what gets lost is that some of his stuff is pretty hard. little wing for example is somewhat complex.

edit: and the true test is whether players who feel his music is easy could write something on the same level as little wing, voodoo chile etc.

That's true.

The Beatles might have a little too much history. I'm not sure how long I have to make this web page.

That was a pretty good intro statement, by the way. :lol:

Hehe, The Beatles would be too long. Do something like The Doors. They weren't together very long.

My second choice would be the doors...if you pick cream, then their may be too much focus on eric clapton, when that was were the majority of their popularity and sound came from.

yeah but thats a good reason to do cream. he could elaborate more on bruce and baker. especially since theyre excellent musicianfs themselves. and especially because bruce wrote most of their originals with pete brown. itd be a good time to even the playing field between the three of them.

And Bruce basically played ever instrument that wasn't guitar or drums.

[QUOTE=magicbus]And Bruce basically played ever instrument that wasn't guitar or drums.[/QUOTE]
Yep, he was the bass player. ;)


*he probably played more instruments on their songs. List plzkxthx?

About Jimi, i reckon some of his hardest stuff lay in his Rythem, not his lead. Like Fire (love that song), listen to the rythem in that, its so... wierd, the chorus, totally Jimi.

DVG.

He played harmonica on Spoonful and I'm pretty sure he played piano on Wrapping Papers. I don't know what else.

Ahem: Bass guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, organ, harmonica, cello and vocals.

Might be more, not sure.

What song did he play cello on?

I am a she...someone referred to me as a he..just clearing that up.

What other instruments did Bruce play?

Deserted Cities of the Heart has cello on it.

Agreed. That's really hard to play. Lots of his solos are much easier to play than that part.

Thanks everyone! I've got to go eat dinner now. Bye!

He plays great Harmonica leads on Rollin' and Tumblin' and Cat's Squirrel.

Edit: About Jack Bruce.

I think harmonica is very underated...a lot of great stuff comes outta them in alot of good songs, and its defintaly not as easy as it sounds, though the fact that its all already on the musical scale for you makes it much easier on the ears when anybody tries to play it

There some good Harmonica moments in Classic rock.

Yea I still haven't picked one up. More concentrated on convincing my mom to let me get my new guitar.

What kind of guitar do you want?

[QUOTE=lunch998]There some good Harmonica moments in Classic rock.[/QUOTE]
Namely Bob Dylan

Who do you think did the best cover of Johnny B. Goode? The Grateful Dead's version is stuck in my head right now.

Michael J. Fox did the best cover :D

hendrix's is the most fun to listen to for me.

[QUOTE=lunch998]What kind of guitar do you want?[/QUOTE]

Fender American Strat. Close to $880, but I can get it a hundred bucks cheaper through my music place.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]hendrix's is the most fun to listen to for me.[/QUOTE]

Yea he did a great cover of it.

I like the original Johnny by Chuck Berry
