My opinion as guitar player for 30 years...His style of music- guitar playing is Tele oriented. I listen to a lot of songs from the Cars and I keep hearing country-rockabilly influenced style. Its interesting that he brought that fuller sound and flare to punk rock in the Cars. Never realized that when I was listening to the Cars as a 20 something year old. Heck I am only realizing it now in my 50's. Elliot is a guitar playing genius and legend in my book that gets overlooked by many.

@willssonline 13 лет назад

That was the most eloquent description of the joy of guitar playing I've ever heard. That joy has shone thru every solo you've ever played. Thanks, Elliott, for continuing to inspire.

Most underrated guitar player

@foofoobear66 6 лет назад

No I can name a list of underrated guitar players.....and Elliot was great for the group, but not the greatest.....

@imandan1966 6 лет назад

Christian did not say Elliot was the greatest. READ

@NerdyWriter 6 лет назад

Very much agree. Listen to The Cars early stuff through some good headphones and the great licks and solos come through more cleanly - because The Cars were a heavily layered band. Or see them in concert in 1980 like I did - and it's like - oh, that guy flippin' rocks....

@Bix12 6 лет назад

I can think of plenty of other guitarist who truly are underrated, Elliot, on the other hand, gets the kudos he deserves...he is very highly respected amongst the twanger set. And lets face it, he has sold a few records.

ROCK 🎸 LEGEND ELLIOT EASTON.

@bmelvin1234 4 года назад

My Takeaway listening to Elliot Easton: humble, nice, smart, a bit nerdy, and well spoken. It’s interesting, you never heard of anyone from the band the cars getting in trouble, doing drugs, messing up hotel rooms. They were just master musicians who formed a tremendous band.

@dukelemoyne 13 лет назад

Elliot was in Columbia, PA back in 1980 to help sell Dean Guitars. He was such a nice guy, and very nervous to be speaking in front of a room full of people. He and Dean Zelinsky (who looked like a hippie at the time) walked about the place chatting with us all. He put a Cadillac in my hands and said, "Try it out." It felt natural in my hands, but I was in love with the ML Standard. I ordered one in black with cream binding and it was "the" guitar until it was stolen in 1999.

@lennylehnertz 11 лет назад

This guy is the best. It is frustrating that he wasn't featured as much on the new album.

@rodolfoperalta5180 11 лет назад

Elliot is my guitar hero!

@blueprismquivers4540 5 лет назад

The best times of my life thanks to The Cars. Ric Ocasek got so much attention compared to the rest of the band. Of course Benjamin Orr got some of the spotlight too but looking back I remember playing air guitar to all of Elliot's great guitar riffs. The late 70's were so awesome with great New Wave bands, Talking Heads, Blondie, Elvis Costello etc. But for me it was all about The Cars. Met and dated my beautiful redheaded wife of 37 years to their soundtracks. Zeppelin was done. Disco sucked. New Wave came along and just made punk and rock so cool again. Thank you Elliot!

I love to hear Elliot talk about guitar playing and music. He's very eloquent.

@ralvarezguitar 11 лет назад

I just love how Elliot Easton express himself

@IamUncledeuce 12 лет назад

At 16 I washed dishes in an industrial kitchen to buy my first electric too! There's a lot to be said for earning your own money to buy that first electric. Pops didn't say a word, but he wasn't too happy about. Funny thing, I am still playing guitar 46 years later.

Ladies and Gentlemen... Elliot Easton-master artist

@mmsun44 10 лет назад

This guy is cool fkn beans. He's a total monster and I will admit before today I didn't even know his name in spite of the fact I've admired his solos for decades.

@brannonevans3685 2 года назад

This cat is SOOOOO underrated, its sickening. Elliot is one of the most tasteful guitar player/musicians ever. He has been a great influence on me as a guitar player, since the first Cars album came out. So tasteful and melodic. Yes, the Cars were/are considered New Wave, but they and Elliot's playing are much more then that.

@crisprtalk6963 Год назад

Its funny, as time goes on and with the development of the internet and youtube I think a lot more people are realizing the talents of Elliot. He sure can craft a solo and magical little fills. Just the right amount of seasoning added to his playing. :)

@VStrom2019 2 года назад

Played guitar for 50 plus years and the Tele is my go to guitar every time. It’s the guitar I write with, the guitar that makes me sound like me but playing a Telecaster. I never seem to sound like me with my Strat or Les Paul, The Tele is instantly recognisable but still is able to make “your” sound, mainly because as Elliot says, it makes it a part of you.

MY FAV GUITAR PLAYER EVER!!!

@moodylicious 6 лет назад

Elliot Easton can wear whatever he effing wants. He is a Master. To hell with the maniacal shredders and nonsensical noodlers out there, not demonstrating expertise but putting on a show to make you think they are good. EE is one bad-ass guitarist. As a female re: this interview attire; I compliment him and say he looks great here. Love the hat, the shades, the striped shirt AND THE GD BOOTS YA'LL ARE pissing and moaning about. MY GOD, how trivial and small. Listen to the man talk and learn something. Listen to his most passionate years of playing 1978-1980. But listen to live videos. Find the Musikladen Concert aired in Germany 1979. Watch him particularly on the 6 minute "Take What You Want" and then come back here and run your mealy-mouths.

Elliot's cool enough to wear whatever shoes he wants around his own house.....He's had only one wife he still loves today and a daughter.

@kimijonghighball9626 3 года назад

In one video, a girl gives him a sweet kiss, then a lady kisses him tenderly. Could they be his family? Or just fans that love him.

@danh7739 5 лет назад

He nailed it, that's what tele playing is all about three chords and the truth.

@dragoncaster851 12 лет назад

great interview Elliot Easton!

@kimijonghighball9626 3 года назад

I can concur to what your saying..kind of. You express your form of art in such a way that only a great musician does. Even after listening to your choice words, I could never repeat what you said but I understand exactly how feel.

@rays2794 5 лет назад

Couldn’t agree more about a Tele. When ever I am trying to learn a lick or song I do it on my Tele. Twang sends shivers up my spine even at 59 y/o and I’m from NYC. Keef is my favorite and the Stones are all about twang, hell first three Beatles albums were nothing but. Elliot Easton , (whose autograph I got at Peaches Record store in Fort Lauderdale when the Cars toured Candio) was always about twangy licks on the albums and I love that! Before the haters start I know the Beatles and early Stones didn’t play Tele, the guitar tone was twangy single pups from Rics and Epis. Obviously From late 60s Keef adopted it as main. George played a rosewood Tele on a few Beatles tracks

@TheMNB 7 лет назад

The string through body bridge gives a Tele a rock solid feel that makes you feel like you're in the command chair. And while it has just two single coil pickups, which limits the tone palette, it's so versatile. Each position has it's timber and it's not just like, oh, it sounds like that pickup only with less brightness. Oh no, each pickup is a different bird and the middle position has a beautiful tone all it's own. It's hard not to love a good Tele. And it doesn't have to be expensive, just well made.

@67marlins 12 лет назад

I share your pain and left-hand dominance. I always liked Gibson SGs because they are almost symmetrical for high-fret access, and I also posted that I bought a BC Rich Warlock and modified it to play upside-down. Good luck and good practicing to you.

@richieuccello8071 Год назад

I am pretty sure I have heard Easton tell the exact same story about his love for his first Mosrite guitar. hehhe. 'Pay me and I tell you what you want to hear'. hehe.

@PinkchrisFloyd 11 лет назад

What's the intro song? Sounds a bit like Henk Marvin?

@67marlins 12 лет назад

My solution was to buy a $ 200 Korean B.C. Rich Warlock, with a sort of symmetrical shape and 24 frets for 2 full octaves, and carefully cut away the lower bout so I can play it upside down. It doesn't have a sweet one-piece neck like a Tele, but you may get used to it, just a suggestion, my friend.

@lespauldisciple3349 4 года назад

Teles... What's the big deal about them?! I have six and I still don't understand. Maybe I should buy another one and reconsider... 😂 #FENDER4EVER (My screen name is a tribute to the man, not the guitar.)

@jcabanaw 13 лет назад

@Xcorgi And he has a signature Gretsch model

@foogentog 11 лет назад

Completely false. He played teles the most. He isn't selling an Elliot Easton model of anything, he's not trying to make money, he just likes talking about what guitars he enjoys. He truly likes teles the best.

Just took delivery of a lefty Larrivee' Bakersfield. Check these things out on the Larrivee' website. Blown away by the quality and got it for about $1600.00!

Lipstick?

@petemclinc 9 лет назад

Interesting, I'm right handed but find if easier or more comfortable as Elliot says to play left handed for all the mentioned reasons. Plus. I have more dexterity in my right hand for making chord shapes, note playing and all the other heavy lifting, unlike my left hand which only has to strum or pick strings. Jimi Hendrix was actually right handed but preferred playing left handed, he could play either way. Please no comments on which hand is used for masturbation, my hot, hot, hot girl friend handles that department.

@petemclinc 9 лет назад

Is her name Rosie Palm?

@petemclinc 9 лет назад

***** If you look at archived footage of Jimi signing autographs, he uses his right hand.

@petemclinc 9 лет назад

***** You can't except the fact I'm right and you are wrong, think what you want.

@SandmanTMB 9 лет назад

***** Both of you are wrong.... Hendrix was ambidextrous. "Although he played his right-handed guitar upside down, and used his left hand to throw, comb his hair and hold cigarettes, Hendrix wrote, ate and held the telephone with his right hand."

@SandmanTMB 9 лет назад

@leftchicago 13 лет назад

Sadly, here is one of the greatest rock guitarists ever and he is surrounded by RIGHTY teles! Just like Fender- no cool guitars for lefties.They will only build cool lefty guitars through the Custom Shop and charge an arm and a leg. There are tons of cool righty guitars in regular production but only a few for us lefties and their either black, white, or sunburst. Fender blows.

@natetheguitarkid 11 лет назад

Bullshit. 1.Actually he didn't use Gibsons 99% of the time, and If it was true I guarantee 99% is not accurate. 2. In the Gibson videos, he was talking about his life the whole time and giving advice, not sitting there endorsing Gibson the whole time. 3. He's actually used a Fender Strat, Tele, Lead, Dean guitars, Gretsch guitars and Kramer guitars Besides Gibson.

@SHareMoon 12 лет назад

And if you ride a Harley, wear a wallet hanging from a chain, and drink Budweiser that makes you a real man, eh?

@67marlins 12 лет назад

I think so, but I'm assuming that's because anyone in front of a camera with bright stage lighting has to do the same thing or they look too pale and unhealthy - just my guess.

Why did you loop that awful cheesy gunslinger western movie music behind the whole piece.....it was so distracting & I'll go as far to say irritating.....otherwise this was great!
