Imagine being such a good guitarist that Ramsey doesn’t even take a solo on this song? “Yeah, Henry’s got this.” He sure does. 🔥

Never thought I'd hear a version of this song "WITHOUT" Maurice White (R.I.P.) and Philip Bailey's vocals that I could like, but this was OFF THE CHARTS!

wiki says: "Sun Goddess" is a single by jazz musician Ramsey Lewis featuring the band Earth, Wind & Fire issued in 1975 on Columbia Records.
@sabrinaphillips916 Жыл бұрын
No, the genius here is CHARLES STEPNEY. He wrote and produced. People think it was Maurice White…it wasn’t. When Stepney died in 1975, they stole everything. Years later Maurice White had to settle out of court with Stepney’s family regarding the millions in royalties they never received.

Yea that actually is a nice guitar solo. Improvised melody from Ramsey was well put together as well. Shows he really knows it. Bass and drums I give' m an A++++. Creative in the pocket so don't knock it! But back to the guitar. I can tell the action of the guitar is well set up. It has a nice balance with 12 gauge nickel wound maybe 13 gauge played with a light medium pick which gives flexibility and fluidity over the strings. coming out of the board facilitates his playing more, having the power to be heard clearly. He 's got all the George Benson stops which every jazz guitarist must have. He put them in the right place and in his own way. My man!
@josephmarte1170 Жыл бұрын
Fuck man you know your stuff, to help your point I believe ur right based on the sound of strings, I use 12-14 based on my tunings but when you play in lighter tunings (basically standard) the strings are super flexible and easy to use. Also adds a deeper tone to the strings idk but yeah, keep rockin brotha
