Thanks for posting. I remember reading your articles back in the day. I have a soft spot in my heart for the Airplane ever since I got tear-gassed at their concert at the Akron Rubber Bow circa '72. Nice interview with Jourma.

I still have that issue of Guitar Player magazine, and found it extremely interesting after all these years to read the rest of the interview. Actually I bought that issue (Wallmart) at a time before I started playing guitar again (quit playing for about thirty years) and it was the very first Guitar Player magazine I ever bought (later subscribed). It was a fabulous article by the way, but I still remember being perplexed about the way that Jim Cippolina sent the signal to his amp to get his particular sound.

 

Thanks, it's such a breath of fresh air to read your posts.

Thanks for posting.

 

I went tripping around through some JA stuff on the web after this thread got me going.

 

Amazing and sad (for my heart throb) that Grace Slick is now 71, but it happens to all of us. If we're lucky.

Very interesting interview, Jorma was one of my earliest influences. This part intrigued me,


I thought Jorma got that powerful vibrato from a Bigsby, not his fingers
:eek:
That certainly is a revelation, his vibrato is as strong as Peter Green's, Danny Kirwan's or Paul Kossoff's
:idea:

 

One of my favorite tracks of Jorma doing this on electric is "Wooden Ships" on Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers. What a tone!
