My favourite parts of scoring this episode: - Making a 30 minute modular jam for 7:22 and timing it down to a few seconds (also featuring the osmose expressive e through a Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water pedal) - spitting out my coffee when I first heard Noah TEAR into the Kingsmen, lol - cranking my amp on the clean channel for the distortion tone at 3:09 - pulling out a wah pedal for the first time in a long time for 12:10 It's a pleasure to work on this series, thanks again to everyone for watching

Can't wait to hear you bring out some neat flanger tones near the end of the 70s BTW Eventide released some at least decent software emulations of all their Harmonizer units from their first decade, and I know the 910 and 949 were used a lot in the 70s and into the 80s to thicken up guitars so if you didn't have these yet it might be a good chance to get one of these The ExpressiveE is an absolute dream synth of mine btw!! It really rules. But it might also be worth checking out Benn Jordan's video on physical modeling synths to check out some other similar things, similarly cutting edge in the sounds they can make, that you can breath life into through MPE while playing this wonderful keyboard

Dick Dale also pushed his amps so hard during live gigs, they would spontaneously combust on stage, so he had Leo Fender build him an amp that could get loud without self-destructing. Fender built him the first Showman amp. The Byrds used these, Peter Greene played his in early Fleetwood Mac, and Steve Howe used one in Yes. Even Hendrix owned at least one Showman, and then bought the Dual Showman.

Big Mama was an incredible guitarist.Beck,Clapton,Page and so many English musicians embraced Black American Blues and built entire careers on it. The added benefit is that these English artists and their immense inuence with Kids in the U.K.,Canada,the U.S. all over the World rejuvenated the flagging careers of many Black Bluesmen at home in America. How the Blues were overlooked in America to begin with is criminal.

And of course, Hendrix's introduction to the wah came from Frank Zappa. While The Mothers of Invention had their residency at The Garrick Theatre around 1967, Hendrix stopped by to watch one of their shows. Frank at the time was using a Vox wah, and that caught Hendrix's attention and curiosity.

Their 1970 Boston Tea Party recordings should be in the conversation alongside albums like At Fillmore East and Live at Leeds.

Guitar snob moment: Sister Rosetta Tharpe's guitar was actually a Les Paul Custom, not an SG. It was a 1961, from when Gibson changed the design of the poorly-received Les Paul model without Les Paul's permission, causing a MASSIVE rift between the guitarist and the brand. The SG wasn't called the SG until 1963 :)

I was gonna say the exact same thing. I named my Les Paul Junior Rosetta in her honour.

Awesome. Thank you for making this. Just a note that according to Jeff Beck and others, he introduced the pedals to Jimi Hendrix, though perhaps this is a minor note since Jimi really exploded their use.

Yeah I read somewhere that Hendrix got the idea of using a wah from Clapton, although he made it his own thing. Who knows, but the point is they all influenced each other during that period.

First pedal Jimi used on an album (are you experienced) was actually a hand-wah, haha look that up. I'll have to check out that Jeff Beck info because as I remember aside from the wah, Roger Mayer made the Octavia for hendrix and gave him one of the first fuzz faces. Probably mixing some stuff up there lol. Really interesting history there 👍🏽

Incredible as always, both visually and informatively. The only two guitarists I would have loved to have seen pop up would have been Syd Barret and Lou Reed, but stellar video regardless

I don't understand why they didn't mention Syd which was a huge influence for guitar players like John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Graham Coxon (Blur), Omar Rodriguez Lopez (The Mars Volta), and even people like Jimmy Page and Pete Thowsend has talked amazing things about him. Without mention that David Bowie and Mark Bolan were influenced by him.

@@silentgnome I assume Syd (and to a lesser extent Lou) didn't show up because the video is about guitar solos. While both have some pretty good and innovative solos, they're more famous for their rhythm playing and innovations in that regard

Blink for just a moment, and a new musical revolution has happened. Story of the sixties. Well done video, but Santana was on mescaline, not LSD. Given to him by Jerry Garcia. The band was not supposed to play until 12 hours later. Then, suddenly, two hours later, they were told to get on stage. New schedule. He never planned to play in front oof half a million while tripping. But we can say he did well, while struggleing with images of the SG neck turning into a large snake!
