Well after listening to Sly's great version over Rid's backing and reading Lee's comments I realize how much we are all influenced by the popular stlyes of our day. I, like Lee, can't tap. Never could, never tried, never wanted to. Thing is tapping became popular while I was in college and I had no time to play guitar for about a 7-8 year period (I played but just to relax, didn't listen to what was out there). So I really missed the tapping period. Although I play more now I really stick to general stylings I listened to as a kid. Now Lee's fondness for melody I really like but it was in it's heyday a few years before my time (sorry Lee). So I thought I would just take a stab at the backing track and just take a go at it. One take, just play and see what came out. Very different than the others but it kind of reflects what I listened to and how I play. I would love to play like Rid but it will never happen.
The guitar is my Brazilian Santana and the amp is my custom AC-30 running on 6V6's with the front end pushed wide open. Ignore the few clams and loose timing (I prefer to call it feel
). I have always been an advocate of Lee's philosophy of just play it (it never gets much better no matter how many takes I take anyway
)
