ahpook Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1405605987' post='2503569'] Anyway, more 60's extended widdling in this live version of Neil Young's 'Down By The River'. The solos start at 1:40 and the drummer does a 'kissy-face' at 2:15 but listen to the whole thing - it grooves along nicely.

leftybassman392 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1405586083' post='2503210'] So, this tune popped onto the radio this morning. Now I've never been a fan of the Byrds by any stretch, and so I'm fairly unfamiliar with much of their catalogue... but when it reached 1:43 and the 'guitar solo' started, I was transfixed and not in a good way. I mean, whose idea was it to keep it? Did nobody think to say "actually Rog, could you do another take mate, I'm errm not sure about that one"? Or were they all too stoned to care? Have a listen if you can stand it. 1:43 to 2:20, and then remarkably he has another go at around 2:58 with similarly stunning results. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J74ttSR8lEg[/media] Does anybody know of a worse guitar solo? And I don't mean just one you don't like in an "anything by Yngwie, I can't stand him" way, I mean something that is truly awful, dreadful by anyone's yardstick. Real car crash stuff. ps. for some reason I can't get this video to embed. [/quote] Sorry, late to the gig - moving house tomorrow and the sh*t's hit the fan with the realisation of how much we still have to do before the movers get here bright & early (read as: 7.30 in the a m )... Back on topic; just listened to it for the first time in about 30 years... Something wrong with it you say? Sounds fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo starts about 00:30 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExsrSCeplXk[/media] [/quote] No doubt recorded on Wray's Shack Three-track.
