My pick is Frank Zappa 'Willie the Pimp'....its the only way I can describe that riff! Love the concept by the way...I've definitely thought about the concept of sleazy guitar playing, but never been able to define it or what makes me think it sounds sleazy!
@KellyDeanAllenGuitar
Жыл бұрын
Willie the Pimp is a good one for sure. Yeah, with regards to "Sleazy", I had a hard time finalizing this video with that title. I didn't want it to sound negative, because these riffs are all awesome for sure. The terms Filthy and raunchy didn't quite work on their own however, so I went with sleazy.

@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar My Zappa pick would probably be "Crew Slut" but I love the guitar solo on "Water Mellon In Easter Hay." But Wendy O Williams "Bump & Grind" sure filled the tittle on this video. I'm not sure if you're aware of this but Ace Frehley, played lead guitar on the album version of that song, and Gene Simmons did the backup vocals. Great song too. If you hadn't heard it I'd recommend giving that one a listen sometime. Thanks again for getting me back into guitar. Take good care Kelly. & as for you holtrain, that was awesome seeing you bring up Zappa. I've always been picky on my Zappa, but when he puts out a killer riff, it's legendary. Peace..

@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar Hey Kelly, no mate. The guitarists on the album were original Whitesnake-slide specialist-guitarist Micky Moody and debutante former Trapeze-with the marvellous Glenn Hughes-guitarist Mel Galley. Micky left the band after the album was recorded, due to disagreements with Coverdale, and Sykes joined the band, but for the US remix he apocryphally added a lick here or there, but it was written and performed by Micky, Mel, and DC, of course. Once 1987 became a hit they have tried to promote Slide It In as featuring Sykes, but it was more marketing than fact. No big deal, mate. Just an FYI. 😁 Have a wonderful weekend when it arrives for you. 🤞

@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar Hiya, like I said Marketing, Kelly. If you listen to original UK release and then the US Remix version, I think you’d struggle to see where Sykes added anything. Apart from the mix, it is the exact same album as far as i can tell. I think DC had his eyes set on the US market, and as much as I love Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden they weren’t pretty like John. As someone who lived in that world I’m sure you know that image in the US in the 80s was pretty much everything. DC, of course, did the same thing to Sykes after 1987. The guys in the videos weren’t the guys who played on the album.

Question from someone who has just picked up an electric guitar for the first time. What is the process you go through to make your guitar sound the same as the song you cover? Is it pedals, pickups, tuning or a combination of all of them? On that topic I’d love to see a video on the entire process and your thoughts on the process. In a side note, when I first saw the title of your video, the very first song that entered my mind was ‘can’t you hear me knocking’. Maybe a guitar cover of ‘Sway’ off the same album? Personally, I love Mick Taylor’s guitar playing style.
