Above is a link to Bridge of Sighs by Robin Trower live version, he has to be 65 to 70+ years old. This song is a true link between playing blues, with a large does of rock tossed in at the same time. He does a lot of stuff slowly so you can watch and learn. Watch/listen to the way he uses his bends. [/QUOTE]
That actually sounds pretty amazing. I've never really heard of Robin Trower before, but he sounds like a pretty damn good guitarist. The solo sounds awesome, partially because his sound almost matches what I had in mind for my own sound (now I just need to figure out what gear he uses, aside from a Fender Stratocaster)... I've been wanting to have a similar sound on my own gear after hearing some of the more the more recent Guns N' Roses concerts on youtube, especially the solos, but I've never really found out how they get that specific sound. My best guess would be some Overdrive, or possibly a Marshall Tube-Amp turned to full volume.
[QUOTE=haghj500]I posted this thinking you are kind of headed that way in the band you are working with now. This is back to being introduced to new ideas before you need to use then or ever thought of them.
Enjoy!!
Yeah, the original material they've got so far is just about as much Blues with a Rock-tone as "La Grange" is a Rock-song with a Bluesy Rhythm. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. A lot of great songs combine elements of both genres. "La Grange" is just one great, famous example of such.
