This past month or so I found myself having the same
conversation several different times with several different
people. That conversation centered around the question, "what
were the greatest guitar solos on record"? I tend to go for
the usual ones, but there are some great guitar sounds, not
necessarily just solos, that are also worth mentioning. So
folks here are my thoughts on the ten "Greatest guitar
songs".

The minute I laid eyes on this c. 1965 Wandré Modele Karak
- that is, once I was able to get beyond the knockout shape -
I thought "motorcycle." Take a gander at that vibrato. Look
like a motorcycle chevron? And what's up with that neck? It's
tooled from aluminum, which makes it weird enough. But just
like motorcycles have all the works exposed on the outside,
this aluminum neck stretches its whole length- head to vibrato
- on the outside of the guitar! Even the head frame shouts
motorbike. So, is there a two- wheel connection?

What's the best bass for guitar players? What's arguably
the coolest bass ever made? What's got bottom that's so huge,
warm, and round that Mr. "I like Big Butts" Sir Mix a Lot
would pen a moving ode to it? If you guessed the Valco-made
Supro and/or Airline Pocket bass, you guessed right. What
makes it so special?

What is voicing? ... VOICING your opinion. I'm VERY
familiar with that as I seem to do it in my articles every
month! ... VOICING - what Britney Spears did at the recent
video awards show. She certainly wasn't singing, and she
wasn't even lip synching. Maybe whatever it is she was doing
can now be called voicing. ... VOICING - the decisions and
resulting component choices an amp builder makes to tailor the
sound of an amp. As much as I'd like to write an article about
Britney Spears, I'll focus on the last definition! The
following discussion will dive into the guts of amp design.
However, I'll embark on this voyage with a promise that you
won't need to open your calculus textbooks to understand
what's going on (you do have calculus textbooks,
right?).

Every year we re-run this article. For some it states the
obvious, but we ALL need to be reminded about these simple
rules. If you follow them, your next jam session, recording
project or stage show will simply be better than the
last.

A busy month coming up in October finds us taking another
trip to England. Why? I have been asked to do a LIVE
on-stage interview with Bill Nelson at this years NELSONICA
'07. That should be fun! So, we've built a trip around
it - a few shows including Ian Hunter, John Cooper Clarke and
The Undertones. Then down to London to meet with the likes of
Pete Shelley, Barry Adamson, Chris Spedding, Colin Newman and
many others. I'll bring back a full report (and hopefully some
photos and video clips) for next months newsletter.
