dave_bass5 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I wonder how many times we will hear that Sorrow fill in other songs now. I’m trying to get it to fit in Mustang Sally 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I dont know what's more talented - being able to play like a prayer, or coming up with it in the first place! Great video. What a great player! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Here's a clip of humble attempt from a couple of months back, playing it with Mr. Nail and Christopher Fairbank (Y'know, him off Guardians of the Galaxy). I got away with it, but having Guy's video to refer to beforehand would have saved me a lot of heartache. ha ha. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else see Icehouse at Milton Keynes Bowl supporting Bowie in the 80's ? I must have seen Guy without knowing it Yes to Bowie at the MK Bowl – my first time there – got there at midday and waited for what seemed like an eternity for DB to come on!

rasher80 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I remember when Ain't No Doubt came out, it was all over the radio. I picked up on the bass line many years before I even knew what a bass guitar was. Glad I can now give it a good crack. Always been a guilty pleasure that song EDIT: much kudos to GP, he's absolutely phenomenal Edited April 5, 2020 by rasher80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just watched this interview Guy did for Thomann’s a while ago. Very funny in places. He also mentions a new book. I love the question the interviewer asked him about Bowie at 3.18. Very bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
