Marblehead Posted April 23, 2016 Trying to learn the terrific 5 minute outro solo on this piece by Camel-Ice Well, if you succeed you have accomplished something good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Posted April 23, 2016 Well, if you succeed you have accomplished something good. I'm getting there. Never been very natural with an instrument, but I enjoy the effort of trying to master it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted April 23, 2016 I'm getting there. Never been very natural with an instrument, but I enjoy the effort of trying to master it. Reminds me of those who try to master the acoustic flat-back guitar by trying to replicate Doc Watson. You will never be as good as Doc was but if you get close you have accomplished much.

Karl Posted April 24, 2016 I nearly gave that a spin last night, but ended up with Led Zep so I could listen to Kasmir. Love that line: "and I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway" Not sure it works so well if you exchange windshield for windscreen and motorway for freeway. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Reminds me of those who try to master the acoustic flat-back guitar by trying to replicate Doc Watson. You will never be as good as Doc was but if you get close you have accomplished much.You have to add your own style to it. I never try for a direct replication, but to get close to the feel of the piece and then, y'know, do it honky tonk or bar singer. :-) As Eric Morcambe so memorably said "listen sunshine I'm playing all the right notes, though not necessarily in the right order" Edited April 24, 2016 by Karl 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted April 24, 2016 I wouldn't call it the greatest but it is well composed and presented. That makes it at least a good song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old River Posted April 30, 2016 I confess I have always had a bit of a crush on Sandy Denny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted April 30, 2016 I had never heard of her. Had to look her up. Yeah, I can see where a guy could be attracted to her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old River Posted April 30, 2016 I had never heard of her. Had to look her up. Yeah, I can see where a guy could be attracted to her. There was a lot of great stuff that came out of the British folk rock scene of the 60s and 70s that mostly didn't make its way to the US unfortunately. Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, The Albion Country Band, Shirley Collins, Anne Briggs, the Watersons, Martin Carthy, Sandy Denny, Vashti Bunyan, the Incredible String Band, tons more (the Strawbs, whom Rick Wakeman of Yes fame played with, was originally a part of that scene too). Most people unknowingly have heard Sandy Denny because she sang on "The Battle of Evermore" with Plant. It mirrored of course the American folk and folk rock scene, but drawing largely on British folk elements, having its own unique "flavour." There was a bit of interesting cross-fertilization going on between the US and the UK at that time. The only reason I know about any of it is when I was a teenager, there was a DJ at a local college station that played all this more obscure 60s and 70s music (much of it British) and I used to listen to it religiously on Saturdays. What I love about Sandy Denny's voice is her ability to combine a certain sense of vulnerability and strength at the same time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holst-Jupiter is uplifting, or the overture to Mozarts Marriage of Figaro.
