  • Dave Mason Trivia Question

    Dave Mason, former Traffic member, did a few solo albums decades ago. On his Alone Together album, there's a song "Look at you, Look at me" which has a great solo for the last several minutes. Beautifully done, with lots of feeling. Anyone know who did that wonderful guitar work? Was it Dave or someone else?
    "Completely Conceded Glowing Expert."
    "And Blueman, I am pretty sure you've pissed off a lot of people."
    "Wait, I know! Blueman and Lew can arm wrestle, and the winner gets to decide if 250K pots sound good or not."

      That was Dave. He is a truly great guitarist, and has always been on of my favorites.

        Are you sure of that? This solo is way beyond anything else that I've heard from him.

              Well. I wish he would have done more of that. That solo blows me away. It puts him in my list of favorite guitarists. To me, a beautifully executed solo like this has so much more feeling & dimension than shredders that play scales super fast & yank on their whammy bars like chimps. Call me old fashioned...

              What kind of guitar(s) was he playing when you saw him, and how long ago was it?

                I'm with you... B.B. can play one note and say all that needs to be said. There are so many players that as great as they are still don't know when NOT to play!

                  I Love B.B. too Dave but he only knows how to play in one area scale position and normally in C.....But he can shake one note and play fewer notes better than most...

                      Pretty cool song....Definately sounds like a Dave Mason solo,as I have some of his other albums....I Like the album "Let It Flow"...Has "So High" and "We Just Disagree" on it..

                          I remember Dave playing a red Firebird when he was on the cover of Guitar Player back in the mid-70's. I think he played Strats back in those days, too.
