Better than you expected and this is not even his best version of it lol. For me, the Viva Santana version is hands down the best version out there. Dance Sister Dance on the same album also has some blistering solo work in what I think was his prime.
He Was how would ya'll like to grow up with em. He's my brother. ❤❤ I miss em every day. Especially at night. My brother was everything to me. ❤❤ I will NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. ❤❤ AUGUST IS A REALLY TUFF MONTH FOR ME I USUALLY CRY MY SELF TO SLEEP EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS. I BE LIKE THIS TILL THE DAY I DIE. STEVIE WILL ALWAYS BE MY #NO. 1. ❤❤
King Crimson is the band, not a guy. The guitarist sitting down has led the band through various iterations, but this group is most people's favorite, which produced 3 amazing albums. There is a split in some audiences, since many love the vocal songs, while others prefer the progressive instrumentals. This song seems to be a perfect combination of catchy song and progressive math rock. Funny you mentioned Steve Vai, as he will be replacing Robert Fripp as the 1st guitarist, when the band reforms this fall (of 2024) under the band name "Beat". He is currently putting out videos on his progress in learning the songs. The Chapman Stick that the bassist, Tony Levin, is playing, allows him to be both the bassist and another guitarist, as they come with 10 or 12 string options.
Dude, I'm glad I'm a drummer. If I were a guitar player like you, after seeing Jeff Beck even once, not only would I smash my guitar, but I would break both of my hands, lest I end up like Eric Clapton or Jimmy Page. 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to the world of King Crimson, where all the rules of rock are broken and there are no limits. Odd time signatures, polymeters (playing in 2 time signatures at the same time), references to Bela Bartok, you name it. As said below, all the players here are legendary. The mastermind is Robert Fripp, the guitarist you see seated. The drummer, Bill Bruford, is the original drummer from Yes. This was the 1980s incarnation. This band was formed in 1969 with the groundbreaking album, In the Court of the Crimson King - and you should definitely hear that one. There have been many incarnations of this band, each with a totally unique style. Enjoy this journey.
What a pointless exercise this video is. Some freaking expert if he's never seen or heard of a Chapman stick. Every time the dude opens his mouth he subtracts from the sum of human knowledge..
"King Crimson I think is the guitar guy's name..." Oh dear. Fripp, Belew, Gunn (war guitar/chapman stick)... Its like a Taylor Swift fan just heard Trout Mask Replica for the first time. You've got sone joy coming your way. Someone send him that guy named 'Mahavishnu Orchestra' 😅
Probably late to the party, but the song is part of the 12 step suite, part of mike portnoy's (the og dream theater drummer that just returned to the band) alcoholic recovery. and that "wah" on the keyboard is a pitch shifter, and yes, his keyboard solos are damn near impossible to play lol
Beck is my all time favorite guitar player try lisening to his first solo record Truth if you like heavy rock that album inspired his pal Jimmy Page for Led Zep. Ronny Wood on bass Rod Stewart on vocals.
They are not playing out of sync with each other, they are playing slightly different rhythms. The "periods" of the rhythms are long ans just slightly different. This gives the cyclic impression that they appear to be playing the same thing, then get out of sync and then come together again. If you repeatedly count from 1 to 8 and your neighbour counts from 1 to 7, you start out together and come together again at 56.
The sole reason in my opinion that Stevie is the best guitarist ever is his ability to move you,to make you feel the music in your soul. Jimi was awesome truly he was but Stevie just does something to the human soul that puts him above the rest.
He usees 13 gage strings. But you should use 11's. And Stevie worked at it 4 7 hours a day everyday fot 365 days a year. You put the time into somethin' you love it's gonna show.The more you work at it the better ya'll will get at it. ❤❤ That's what my brother did. ❤❤ ya'll can do it to just work at it. Where are you from? Go down to Austin Texas and see where Tommy Katona is playin' he will try and help ya'll he's a good guy. ❤❤ Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan live at the festival a song called 3rd stone from the sun. Mind Blower.❤❤
