Guitar solo

What, the...

there's a bit that goes in the background, which is not really the guitar solo, but that's the bit that I'm trying to do.

Do it again.

And it ends, the ends is and then it goes into the riff.

good.

It was good.

So, number two, guitar solo number two.

I really don't know.

It's like four CDs or whatever.

So I scrolled through it, and I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but there's a song called Guitar Solo.

Oh.

It was Carnegie Hall, November 4th, 1970.

neat.

Well, I rarely listen to the things from the past.

But occasionally, somebody sends me something like, you say, like a guitar solo from the 70s.

And I'm like, okay, I'm not sure about listening to it.

And I think it's important to anybody who's seriously wanting to enter this industry to understand what the history is.

yeah

but to me this was the first time in rock music where i'd heard a guitar solo maybe maybe a few Brian May ones that i could sing and it felt like It felt like a guitar solo, but also a vocal part.

Like you can do, everybody can sing it.

It's an incredible guitar solo.

Drum feel.

Yeah.

I don't know what to say to that.

He's one of the best guitar solos I've ever seen live in concert.

As per ultimateclassicrock.com, Journey drummer Dean Castronovo suffered an unspecified medical emergency during the band's Thursday night concert in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Local sports reporter Eric Bailey posted video from the show explaining that Castronovo was helped off the stage.

Hört man nicht die Aufnahme noch zum Ende? Ich hab das Gefühl, jetzt wäre Schluss, oder? Ja, hoffentlich.

[Gitarrensolo]

[gesungen] In den Kneipen und an den Tresen stehen sie und sagen nichts.

Sie lachen, als wär nichts gewesen und haben das schöne Gesicht.

Meine Freunde, sie wissen, was ich tu.

Meine Freunde, sie lassen mich nicht in Ruh.

[Gitarrensolo] [gesungen] Über uns, da wohnt er nun.

Nix für Fernsehen, Hauptsache drum.

And I remember that, that, that moment, um, in, in the book where he talks about Neurosis sparkly, uh, crazy and, and your recap was helpful because there's something about like learning the structure and isn't that partly how it ex- learning the structure is what exhausts the song or some- or in some sense like reduces, corrodes the song so that you don't get as much pleasure from it eventually as you got on that first listen.

Um, but when you were talking about that, it just made me think of one thing that happened to me at some point, like maybe a decade ago, uh, when I was in my mid-twenties, um, which is that I went from thinking guitar solos were lame to thinking they're awesome.

[chuckles]

Um, which I always took as a sign of being washed, like, you know, like just getting old and whatever, complacent.

But, um, isn't the interesting thing about a guitar solo that it's actually not interesting on the first listen, but it becomes deeply pleasurable when you know the solo, which itself is a bit of a paradox because the solo is at least supposed to be in-- it's like in many time, in many cases, like fictionally presented as imp- improvised.

Mm-hmm.

But I get the most pleasure out of guitar solos when I'm like I'm basically doing like mental air guitar.

Like I'm imagining the solo and hearing the solo as it happens and sort of following it that way with a kind of foreknowledge of the solo.

A great way to like cap off the clip.

Um, and the clip won't end before we get, uh, David Bowie with, with his white gloves, uh, playing the guitar solo.

Yeah, he's shredding in the desert.

Yeah
