I still love a comment I read from Henley who described Joe as "an interesting bunch of guys". He also had a few things from his adult past that would have leveled most of us so my respect goes out to him for getting himself clean. Never met him in person, but seemed like a nice guy. I always got a kick out of hearing him and his Wacky messages. He used to call and leave phone messages on our answering machine and he sounded pretty much like the video even though he was straight. I had a friend living with us after a stint in rehab where she met and befriended Joe. I think stuff like Bowie's Fame would not have grooved so hard without his part on there. OK, kill me now!I wont pile on, but I wouldn't venture outside if there's any lightning flashing about stike But that probably contributed to his unusual time signatures, - putting 3/4 into a 4/4 song like "We Can Work It Out." Ringo said that live they had to turn John's amp off or away or down so as not to mess up the beat. His arm was moving all uncoordinated, up should have been down, down should have been up.
I saw a video of him playing "Hide Your Love Away", I think. BUT Lennon was the worst rhythm guitar player. I haven't seen the video yet, but I agree with the Beatles thing. I can always tell who is on guitar, even if the song is unfamiliar. Walsh and Harrison have distinctive touches, especially when playing slide guitar. Plugging straight into an amp will hasten your discovery of your own tone. (Not that I do any of the above at their level!)įinding a third part in the EB's harmonies will develop your ear and your voice and help with your Beatles study.
#Walk away james gang chords how to#
I learned how to arrange and embellish from George Martin. Try being "Beatle For A Day" and learn the song from each guy's perspective.
I learned the value of a sensitive and song-oriented drummer from Ringo. I learned what a melodic bassline can do to a song from McCartney. I learned how to play acoustic rhythm guitar from Lennon and how to play complimentary parts form George. I learned min7b5 chords and augmented chords and chromatic descending basslines underneath a minor chord and how to use them from Paul, John and George. There are no better teachers than the Beatles for a guitar player interested in playing songs. Well, he's exactly right about all of that.
