Sailing (Rod Stewart)

I think Jimmy Webster, a demonstrator for Gretsch guitars is often cited as the first person to do it. However, I suspect some flamenco guitarists must’ve employed a similar technique in the dim and distant past. EVH certainly brought it to the masses and made it mainstream.

(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (Beastie Boys)

The windings will stick on the angled slots making tuning troublesome.

That’s a nasty looking bit of work. Your strings are going to catch when tuning, especially on the G.

Rock The Night (Europe)

Took me ages to get into Yes. I remember borrowing Close To The Edge as a teenager and only liking Siberian Khatru a little (mainly the guitar intro). Years later I bought Yesterdays cheap and their cover of America hooked me in and the early pre Howe/Wakeman stuff was far more accessible. After that album, I was in. I still don’t like plenty of their output, but I’d call myself a fan.
