@JJM3rd 2 года назад

If you’re impressed by the guy playing the guitar in his lap, you should react to Jeff Healey. He was a guitarist that came out in the late 80s who played the guitar in his lap because he was blind and that’s how he learned to play. His biggest song (and one that Amber would probably love) is called “Angel Eyes” but the best song to show off his guitar playing is probably “See The Light.” He died of cancer in 2008, but he was a hell of a musician and didn’t let being blind stop him one bit.

@davewildermuth7519 2 года назад

"Is he playing guitar with a bottle?" Yay, new instrument time! That's actually a specific style of guitar called a lap steel. It's intended to be played flat on your lap, with a slide bar. The strings don't go all the way to the fretboard, so you have to use the slide to produce the notes. Using a beer bottle is mostly for show, but as others have pointed out, it's a reference to the old Black bluesmen to used bottles as slides. The lap steel is very similar to an acoustic instrument called the Dobro, or resophonic guitar. Alison Krauss's band, Union Station, has one of the finest Dobro players who ever lived, in Jerry Douglass. Check out a live version of their instrumental "Choctaw Hayride," to see the master at work.

This song (released in 1972) got a lot of new exposure when used as background music in a somewhat gruesome scene in Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" in 1992. One character in the scene dances to the song whilst slicing off the ear of another character with a razor! 'Bottle neck guitar' i.e. playing guitar with neck of a glass bottle to get a 'jangly' sound was a traditional blues method. Originally it would be a broken bottle neck with a player's finger inserted into it. It has commonly also been done with a metal tube or other hard object instead and usually known as 'slide guitar'.

@michaelmacdermott6340 2 года назад

The beer bottle technique is just an adaptation of using a slide on a guitar. This is actually not a regular guitar, but what is known as a lap guitar. It's played horizontally, normally with a slide (looks like a polished piece of pipe made of metal or plastic) over the finger. When bands played in bars it was not unusual for the guitarist to just grab a beer bottle to use for the slide effect. Jay, when you learn guitar you will eventually learn slide technique.

@stephenmosack4496 2 года назад

Slide is almost all I do.... love it

2 года назад

Nope, if you play guitar you don't *have* to learn slide guitar. I'm pretty sure the majority of guitar players never do. Or slapping as a bass player. Yes, It's a useful technique to have in your repertoire, but there's no law that says you have to learn it. (If you're a pro/session musician, things change… but then again, it would be much more likely for them to call someone who specializes in slide playing than ask any guitarist they already have booked if she can play slide)

@michaelmacdermott6340 2 года назад

@ never said it was law, and I do. A lot of us do play with a slide on certain vintage rock, country, and jazz songs. I only meant that as he gets into guitar he "can" learn about it more then. Sorry I offended you enough to defensively argue a point. Seems it's becoming the norm in younger generations. It gets chilly these days and snowflakes can fall. Have a blessed evening! 🙏🏻☝🏻❤️

@jftowry 2 года назад

Instead of using his fingers to depress the strings to create different, the guitarist uses a glass bootie or metal cylinder to "slide" across the strings to produce the notes. Hence, you just heard a slide guitar.

@jojomart 2 года назад

The band’s best known song is also their finest, the wryly paranoid Stuck In the Middle With You. Rafferty and Egan wrote it after a frustrating meal with label executives who talked across them. Drawing lyrical inspiration from Bob Dylan - notably the clowns and jokers of the chorus - they built a memorable folk-rock masterpiece. With sly delivery and a surging pop beat, the song is full of hooks. The simple instrumentation, mostly acoustic and driven by a cowbell, adds to its charm. Have you reacted to Gerry Rafferty's BAKER STREET? I love that song!

The lead vocal is actually Gerry Rafferty (who you guys have reacted to). He and friend and harmony singer Joe Egan started the band in Scotland, and cowrote this song. I am sure you guys have seen or heard people play slide guitar. They usually wear a tube (could be glass, plastic or metal) on one finger of their hand and slide it up and down the strings (much like the way a steel guitar player plays). Back in the day some guitar players realized they could get the same effect from a bottle. Lord knows there were always plenty of empty beer bottles around. So loving taking this trip with y'all. Remembering so much great music and hearing stuff I haven't heard in a long time. Thank You Thank You!!!

Absolutely Love Gerry Rafferty, one day someone is gonna react to his song “Get it Right next time”, one of the coolest vibe tunes ever, particularly if you like sax. Imo That bottle trick, turns an ordinary guitar into an Electric Peddle Steel guitar sound. This trick is often achieved with a steel tube on the players finger. I’m not aware of any other hits by Stealers Wheel, but Gerry Rafferty went solo, and omg, he is such a talented musician. Please react to more of him.

Gerry Rafferty himself is worth a deeper dive. You listened to Baker Street, probably his most famous hit, but he has other great songs: Right Down the Line, Mattie's Rag, City to City, Waiting For the Day, etc...

I remember when my 3 kids first heard this song. We were camping with friends in1998. When this song came on on the jam box us grown ups (🤣)started singing it. My kids absolutely loved it. Such good memories. We made sure they were exposed to music from our childhood in the 60s and 70s.

Trivia: this song was used as the background for Indy 500 TV coverage when they had a montage of the infield fans. It's a pretty traditional event and crowd, but this was the audio for a polite version of '70s letting loose.

Using a bottle on the fret of a guitar is called playing slide guitar. One of the best is Bonnie Rait.

@adamdonovan4071 2 года назад

The bottle is used as a slide, it ensures all strings are contacted all the way down.

Love this song. I love watching you guys. I can see your genuine love of the older music. I was in grade school when Elvis came out so I've lived through it all. I feel lucky to have been there for all of it but I'm 73 and you guys are young. Haha. Keep up the good work

@jimreedy1960 Год назад

Yes, he is playing the slide guitar with a bottle. Duane Allman played his with an Excedrin bottle. You raise the strings on a slide guitar and play them with anything that you like. People use glass tubes, brass tubes and all kinds of stuff.

Great song and great reaction. Hey you might give this guy a reaction. He holds a Guinness World Record. He had 5 hit songs with 5 different bands during the 70s. He was a 5 time 'one hit wonder'. His name is Tony Burrows and this band is called First Class, and the song is Beach Baby. It's just like it implies, a Beach Boys type, fun in the sun and the surf song, that was a smash hit. Please react to it. Folks will love it. @ He also sang lead on "Love grows where my Rosemary goes" by Edison lighthouse; "My baby loves lovin" by White Plains; "United we stand, divided we fall" by Brotherhood of Man; and "Gimme Dat Ding" by The Pipkins.

The guy playing with bottle is playing a pedal steel guitar. Very often used in Country and Bluegrass music. The bottle gives that lovely ringing sound. This was then adapted to be used on a normal six string. The term "bottle neck" guitar comes from this very thing. You hear this played a lot in Blues and Country music.
