Members Doctor49 Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 When I was a student in Southampton UK in the late 60s-early 70s, there was a guy who used to get booked as a support act in a lot of events.His trick was to play classical orchestral pieces on solo electric guitar.I remember particularly his version of Holst's Planets Suite.I forget his name however. No it wasn't Dave Edmunds of Sabre Dance fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PINKUSFLOYDUS Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Electric guitar in solo setting is this: You are now the focus... maybe at the vocalist's loudness now. This is the guitarists time to shine, so you might want to have a different sound or echo effect, along with the higher volume. Ya, man... this is why a guitaris is a guitarist... don't take this lightly... this is your time to "SHINE". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stackabones Posted April 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Interesting point, PINKFLOYDUS, but in this case -- and in most of these vids (though not all) -- the guitarist is the vocalist. So ya gotta SHINE both as a guitarist and as a vocalist. We're not just talking about solo breaks or giant guitargasm solos during rock/metal shows. * Although this isn't exactly what I'm seeking out, and it isn't 100% solo ... but your post reminded me of this!
