Members wades_keys Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 Just thought I'd give a little contrast to the other original band that posted here. Ozzn5CVCImY I dig how they've got a look, a sound, NO MUSIC STANDS, and a fairly confident delivery. They're still in their teens, so go easy on em Cooter. That's my nephew playing the lefty strat. He copped his first guitar chords off of me years ago - I'm proud of that kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChordGirl Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 Pretty sweet there, Mr. proud uncle. :poke: For teens, friggin' excellent! Pretty good for any age, IMO. Serious potential, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6StringSling Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 I like it. The vocals sound like several female vocalists whose names I don't know but I happen to like that kind of vocal sound. I'd listen to this song a 100 times before listening to outk4sts's song.

Members BlueStrat Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 Nice. Very complex arrangement for a bunch of teens, and miles ahead of where I was at that age. I'll be glad when that Alanis Morrisette-influenced vocal style goes away, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members snoggin Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 I like it when Alannis does it though. but only her cuz she owns it. Nice.

Members snoggin Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 That was a pretty good song.. I am from t he school of ripping guitar solos lol. Which I guess are out of style. The audience dug it which is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6StringSling Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 I am from the school of ripping guitar solos lol. Which I guess are out of style. Not really, in my experience. What's out of style is speed for the sake of speed and flash for the sake of flash. People will appreciate a nice guitar solo if it's within the context of the song.

Members Vito Corleone Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 People will appreciate a nice guitar solo if it's within the context of the song. Perhaps. But I'm having a hard time thinking of a single song with a significant and/or memorable guitar solo recorded in the last 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about counting instrumentals, but that Satriani song is from like '86 and the Eric Johnson one BARELY squeaks by being released in 1990. "Smooth". Yep. That's one of the very few, to be sure. And, not surprisingly, recorded by a cat from the 60s. What happened to melodic solos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Satriani one was from '93 off the 'Beautiful Guitar' album. But your point stands. I happen to agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an 80s Hair Metal guy and pretty much have no clue as to what's current - I stopped listening to "new" music back in '96 but here are some songs in the last 20 years that have guitar solos that are (to me) nice: Santeria - SublimeNo Rain - Blind MelonAlive - Pearl JamFar Behind - CandleboxShine - Collective SoulTwo Princes - Spin DoctorsYellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had the BG album a friend burned for me years ago. But you're right, getting back to the point. Pop music use to use lead guitar quite a bit- the Cars, Michael Jackson, and lots of others, up until the late 80s. It's a vanished art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bare Bones Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 Some of Jack White and Dave Grohl's bands have had some good/memorable solos in recent years, the list doesn't go far past that, at least among mainstream rock that you might hear on the radio.

And not only USED lead guitar, but songs had solos that, if not played 'right', would be playing the song incorrectly. You don't want to improvise a solo through "Hotel California", for example.
