In this video I’m looking at aLink Wray classic from 1963. Raw rock n roll at its best: nothing too technical going on here, this one’s all about attitude.

In this video I’m soloing over the Byrds/Dylan country-rock classic. I’m attempting to play some of the pedal steel licks you can hear on the recording, and also throwing in some ideas of my own, with lots of country soloing licks and tips along the way.
In the comments for his video there was quite a bit of debate about exactly who played on this recording. It seems hard to get any definite information. I’m sticking with Lloyd Green on pedal steel, but some are certain it’s Clarence White on B-bender Tele.
Update – this controversy seems to have been resolved thanks to this brilliant comment underneath the video on YouTube:

This is an amazing early Fleetwood Mac instrumental with stunning guitar from the amazing and underrated Danny Kirwan. In particular it’s a string bending and vibrato masterclass.

I’ve looked at quite a few Stooges tracks previously on this site, but here I have a classic track from Iggy’s 3rd solo record New Values. It’s a fantastic song with some great riffs and soloing from Scott Thurston.

In this video I’m taking a look a the Orange Juice Classic.
Here’s some fantastic info on the recording of this track from producer Martin Hayles who recently left this great comment on YouTube. The mystery of the lead guitar phaser sound is solved. Also a brilliant water droplet sound trick –
Highlighted commentMARTIN HAYLES1 day agoVery Nice Lesson and yes Malcolm main guitar part was played using a mutron Bi-Phase pedal. I call it a pedal, but it was more like a small arp synth with patch cards that were placed on top of the controls to get preset sounds. It only has a mono output so the main signal was panned Left and a 1/16 delay of that sound was panned Right. The bass sound was indeed a Roland TB 303. The water droplet noises were created with Edwyn tapping his jackplug into his amp on a metal doorstop on the studio floor which was then flanged. Edwyns amp was a Fender Twin with reverb on. The drums on the track are actual drum loops created from Zeke playing for a couple of hours then cut up on a multitrack to create the song. If you want any more info let me know.
