  • @kickniko
    @kickniko 12 років тому +17

    Simply great!
    I always admired not as much much the guitarists who play solos all the time but rather those who can hold a rhythm tight and exact but also groovy and rolling. It is not hard to play "Scream-shred-diddle-whistle" all the time, but to hold a rhythm and hit simoultaneously with the rest of the band is another story.
    Guys like Parfitt, Townshend, Young (Malcolm!) and the like are extraordinary. They seem to have metronoms built-in in all parts of their bodies and souls.
    Go Rick!

    • @dirtyharry4649

    Quo might be called three chord bashers, but the music far exceeds a lot of other bands, Rossi's lead guitar is amazing, unlike lots of other twiddley guitar players

    • @e-knockpower7808
      @e-knockpower7808 5 років тому +3

      Tom Alexander Agreed! My theory is that more than 95% of people who call Quo's music "basic" and "easy to play" fit into one of 3 groups: non-guitarists, guitarists who play the songs completely wrong and then claim that they're simple, and people who've never heard anything outside the top 10 hits (just think of "Gerdundula", "Slow Train" or "4500 Times".. all songs for advanced players only when played properly! I've never been able to play Gerdundula at more than 80% of DOTH record speed no matter how much I practice.. It's those bloody hammer on/pull offs in the middle of the "solo" that get me)

    Wow. I thought Rossi was playing the single notes at the start and in the bridge and Rick just did the chunka chunka chords. It’s all fuckin’ Rick! Fantastic.

    Marvellous Rick,
    One of the reasons to get involved with guitar playing is to have as much good feeling as possible and Ricks playing always have the enjoyment thing about it.
    Bullocks to the 3 chord non-sense, have you ever like a song more just because it had 4 chords ??
    Thing is, there 3 or 4 different elements of competent guitar playing shown here that take time and skill to master, and believe me Rick is THE master..... love the bloke....

    Been a quo fan for a million years and seen them loads of times.... Rick Parfitt has always been my fave rhythm guitarist.... 3 chords, there have been thousands of songs written with only 3 chords..... If you don't like them then don't listen to them..... Keep on rockin Quo....

    • @twoshedsjackson6478
      @twoshedsjackson6478 5 років тому +9

You ask any of these so colled house hold names to play this and i quarantee they will come close but never able to match, the guy has such a unique way of playing. The Quo sound stands alone. Easy ? Yeah thats why no other band sounds even close to them or tried to copy The one zillion bands out there these days are, lets be honest,all similar in sound. Unique !!
