Barking Spiders Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 The thread on sparse bass lines and specific references to Walking On The Moon got me thinking for a few seconds about why the minimalist flanged guitar in that song is also so effective, while 40 minute blues rock w*nkathons or interminable 'neo-classical' metal widdling have me running screaming for the door. So if there's a Malmsteen wannabe in your band what songs would you suggest they listen to that show less is usually more. A couple that come to my mind are on Chris Isaak's Wicked Game and Blue Hotel and on I'm In Love With A German Film Star by The Passions.

Les Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 We've done Blue Hotel and had a couple of try's at Wicked Game. Guitarist in fairness nailed them both, soundwise and sparse playing. Hard to do vocally of you don't have his range naturally though. We bagged them both in the end. Thankfully our lad appreciates that silence is a note and also we never hear a peep out him between numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in fairness Les, his silence only started after the Mustang headstock/A&E incident . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may think that sort of music is the dogs' shiny bits but to many of us it's lift music's anal seepage. People eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
