Members Slaymoar Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 You can hear the synth... I thought it was either synth or a weird effect on the guitars. But if you listen to when they press the keys, it does have that trumpet-like swell at the beginning on each note - like a synth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dann'sTheMan Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 I didn't know that. Interesting also to learn that the Bass is a Yamaha DX7, and the drums are a LinnDrum drum machine. What I am thrilled about is that the guitar solo is by the maestro, Dann Huff - Dann is the Man!

Members MattACaster Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 A previous band I was in used to do it and they let me sing it even though I wasn't the front man. Including a nice drunken intro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Turner Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 Kind of like the "Seinfeld" theme song. That bass part is actually a synth, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see him very often and I didn't really know him so I didn't say much but I'd nod to him if I saw him in the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way synths were that advanced 20+ years ago Not only that, but you're (anyone, really) trusting a WIKIPEDIA source as truth? LOLOLOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cept the lead was guitar. Ancient thread, but since there's going to be a follow-up movie released fairly soon that will feature the same song, it's still kind of relevant. I looked at the Wiki link in the OP, and I don't see anywhere where it says the "guitar tracks" weren't guitars, but synths. It does say that the bass part was done on a synth though... and it specifically mentions session guitarist Dann Huff as having played guitar on it. From Wiki: Overview[edit] Dann Huff, lead singer and guitarist of the 1980s hard rock group Giant, played guitar on the song. The bass line is performed on a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. A tenor saxophone is added near the end of the song. The song peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of July 26, 1986, kept from the top spot by Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer". Music video[edit] A music video was released in May 1986 to promote the single. The video was directed by Tony Scott and featured footage of Loggins singing, as well as clips from the film Top Gun, which Scott also directed. According to the MuchMusic network's program Pop-Up Video, the U.S. Navy described this video as "the most effective recruiting poster ever produced".[citation needed] Personnel[edit] Kenny Loggins – vocals, guitar Dann Huff – guitar Giorgio Moroder – keyboards Tom Whitlock – synthesizer John Robinson – drum fills Tom Scott – saxophone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DamianD Posted August 9, 2020 Members Share Posted August 9, 2020 The guitar part is played on guitar. No synth could produce those string mutes and chord sounds like that especially back then. If you listen closely, the note decay on the guitar is natural. Can’t do that on a synth. Specifically, the effects used on the guitar sounds like it’s using a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive pedal and a Boss Chorus pedal (probably the CE2) with digital delay (probably a Boss DD2 to my ears). The bass line is definitely a synth as are the pads and arpeggiated elements and the drums definitely sounds like the Linn Drum drum machine.
