Have to agree what a sound not too pop not rock just cool, excellent guitar work really un noticed by most, Dave Robinson one of the first to use the electronic drums synths addition to his kit
Three chords and the truth. Simple but effective. Genius. What a joy to live and breathe under the stars. Thank you once again for all your hard work....
Nice work! I heard The Cars on their first American tour, in Pittsburgh at the Stanley Theater, when they opened for The Atlanta Rythmn Section. They played the entire first album. There was a lighted sign hanging over the stage that said "CARS", and when the headliners Atlanta Rythmn Section took the stage, the "C" was removed. The Cars were fantastic. They blew the headliners away so badly, that half the of the audience left during Atlanta Rythmn Section's set. Kind of like 1977, when AC/DC on their "High Voltage" tour opened for Ted Nugent.
This is great, the song is just a bit of a stretch for my current ability, so perfect to learn right now. Cool memorable tricks that can be used in other situations. Excellent, thank you.
Super Excellent Lessons . Could you consider transcribing Robin Trower ... I Cant Wait Much Longer , Winterland 1975 Concert . Caledonia , I Cant Live Without You . The Fool and Me . 🎸🎸🎸🎸✨✨✨✨
Nod to the past from "new wave" group. A lot of 50's era in there. I agree with your hearing the cuffed rake, the notes work - but the break is better. Like racers know, ya' gotta know when to use the brakes. 🤨
I think it's good when learning solos after a few licks to go " ok so far we have rhis" rather than digesting every lick start to finish . shut up & play channel also does a great lesson on this classic.
Thank you! It's a 70th anniversary Broadcaster, just a normal production one. The neck feels so good, absolutely awesome guitar. I now know why people always say Tele is their "if I only had one" guitar.
Back in the day…. when the Cars recorded this.. the only way to make a taped song faster was to speed up the tape… but it bumped up the pitch.. soo… played it in E.. but now it sounds like F… Now,digital recordings can bump up the tempo without changing pitch.. Amazing.!
I record signal from the amp thru the mic in addition to what my lapel mic picks up, I mix it in during editing to get it to sound closer to what I hear in the room. The lapel mic kinda darkens it up a lot and is not great fidelity.
@@12footchain in concert all the amps are mic'd up never knew it's function..heck even bass drums are mic'd now...back in the late 50s..60s it was a big deal when we got reverb..played second guitar and some back up vocals...in Quebec..great times.....but your break down of cars best friends girl blew me away...well done sir.
@robertalan2427 thank you. Yes well now, or I guess since 70s they have good live PA sound at concerts, so all the instruments get mic'd in addition to the vocal mics so it can all get pumped put thru the PA.
