Members Bucksstudent Posted February 28, 2015 Members Share Posted February 28, 2015 Makes me want to play guitar, huh? About a decade ago it was R.E.M.'s Out of Time and Monster, Patti Smith's Horses, and The Velvet Underground & Nico. A little later it was Metallica's Black Album, System of a Down's Toxicity, Black Label Society's Mafia, and Ozzy's first two albums. Then it was The Smiths' Meat is Murder, King Crimson's Discipline, Richard Thompson's Amnesia, and Fairport Convention's first four albums. First year of college, it was Phish's Farmhouse and Junta, and a little later Genesis's Duke. Steely Dan's discography got me interested in guitar a bit more too. Then I stopped really wanting to play guitar. My tastes were evolving toward less guitar oriented music, my depression got worse, and I had school work. I've never stopped playing, but there have been days when I didn't even look at a guitar. Really, the only players who inspire me these days are Robert Fripp and rhythm players like Rose Melberg or even Tom Waits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted March 1, 2015 Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 My earliest influence was probably the Ventures. To me that is still THE classic electric guitar vibe. [video=youtube;e7z5cXSfY-Y] Note the Chuck Berry-esque riffing that commences around 1:52 That whole album is classic. I went in my brain when I was around 9 and never left. I haven't learned a lot of their stuff, but of course, Walk Don't Run and some other surf staples are in my repertoire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted March 2, 2015 Members Share Posted March 2, 2015 Wow.... It's this weird "crappy/brilliant" thing.... Don't really know to digest it. All I know is that Mosrite owned that band endorsement wise, and I really never liked the sound of Mosrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted March 2, 2015 Members Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm really not all that personally familiar with Mosrite guitars (other than of course that the Ventures played them and they are now pretty "collectible"). I just own a Wilson Brothers copy. But the Venture did start out playing Fenders then later on in the early 90s I remember seeing Ventures signature Strats & Jazzmasters again. [video=youtube;owq7hgzna3E] I can remember that song was a Casey Kasem trivia question, i.e. which rock group had a song that went to the Billboards Top 10 twice? The answer being Walk Don't Run (both the '60 and '64 version). The '64 version is a bit gussier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wankdeplank Posted March 3, 2015 Members Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm all about the vibe and less about the flash. To me the best tones were the vintage ones achieved by the likes of Chuck Berry, The Ventures^, Hank Marvin and the Shadows, Duane Eddy, The Muscles Shoals house band on up through the Beatles and Stones. To this day, the records that get me most excited are the ones with attention to great vibey guitar tones like anything by the Fleshtones or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Love that spaghetti western sound found most recently on Gore Verbinski's Rango soundtrack. [video=youtube;zI8nmhwzqCo] [video=youtube;IksJOjrVEF0] Top Ten Guitar oriented albums in no particular order: The Fleshtones: Brooklyn Sound SolutionsThe Rolling Stones: Sticky FingersThe Beatles: Abbey RoadThe Beatles: RevolverLed Zeppelin IThe Doors - Self TitledCountry Joe and the Fish: Electric Music for mind and bodyNeil Young: Everybody knows this is nowhereThe Cars: Self TitledAretha Franklin: I never loved a man...
