      Mike M. The beginning of the 1st song is rock and roll by velvet underground and but god knows what the second half is

      @aosx182 6 років тому +5

      2) Girls by the 1975

      In the Girls music video, there are several close up guitar shots where you can see he is playing that lick on the bridge pickup, not the neck. using lace sensor pups too

    First time I saw Johnny Winter, in 1969 at the Tea Party, Boston, he was playing a
    white Mustang through three Twin Reverbs, which were set up in a pyramid - two
    on the bottom and one on top and in the middle. He was amazing. My ears never
    forgave me.

    Oh wow! Did not expect to hear my hometown mentioned on a guitar of the day.
    That shop has closed now. I shopped there once in my life but I wasn't born anywhere near it's heyday in the 70's.
    Thanks Mark for that little surprise in my day!

    Hey Mark and Jen,
    Big fan of GOTD. My friend Mark Thatcher, who is turning 50 today (Wednesday), introduced me to GOTD earlier this year. We are both beginner guitar students, and draw a lot of inspiration from the guitars and songs on GOTD. Really enjoy the behind the music information that Mark provides with each guitar. Looking forward to what comes next, as well as going back and catching up on all the episodes that I missed.
    Thanks,
    Paulie B.

    Christmas morning, 1971, I was nine years old, and all I wanted in the world, was an electric guitar. I was also absolutely sure, I wouldn’t be getting one- based on the unambiguous opinion of my Dad, a Maine State Trooper, regarding all things, “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.” Besides, we weren’t rich, and I’d been borrowing a trombone to play in the school band, so I figured maybe a new horn was what I’d be unwrapping.
    After my sisters and I had torn open a few of the lesser packages, we progressed to the “big stuff.” I opened a lovely Yamaha classical guitar, and while it wasn’t a Strat, it was like what Chet played, so I was pretty psyched, and I started looking around for a trombone under the tree. Then, I opened a beautiful drip edge Vibro Champ, and a contact mic for the Yamaha- again, not Hendrix gear, but still pretty sweet. I won’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed, but I was definitely looking forward to seeing what that Champ would do.
    Finally, Dad “found” that last present behind the tree for me- so obviously the square case of a new trombone, that no giftwrap camouflage could hide it. I tore off the paper, ignored the suspiciously thin profile of my trombone’s case, and clicked open the latches to take a look.
    It was candy apple red, with Shelby racing stripes, a pearloid pickguard, and a wiggle stick- a Fender Mustang Comp! The case was lined with orange velvet. Years later, watching the briefcase scene from Pulp Fiction, I flashed on that moment of opening my Mustang the first time- the golden glow on the rapturous face of John Travolta so like my shocked, thrilled joy at holding that magical instrument.
    “Yeah, we happy!”
    Although admittedly, that thing would never intonate properly either...

    +Mark This is the first offset demo we've seen you do where you didn't go out of your way to trash hipster shit! ;-) I have a Mustang Modern Player, and as a relative new player bought it when I hit a wall with learning guitar and was prepared to give it up altogether if I couldn't find a guitar I could actually play. The Mustang is a life-saver for us "student types." It fits us regular sized guys like a glove!

    Cars and guitars do go well together. On an episode of "Bones" Billy Gibbons tells his soon to be son-in-law Hodgins "I have cars, I have guitars and I have guns. Treat my girl right and you'll only see the business end of the cars and guitars" :)

    I had a '69 Olympic White Mustang that I bought in '69 or '70 a couple of months old from a guy who decided to go pedal steel. It had individual intonation adjusters and it stayed adjusted. It also stayed in tune. Until you used the wiggle stick or bent the strings savagely. It had a floating bridge that rested on two pins of adjustable height but had enough room to move forward and backward a little allowing the strings to stay put when you wiggled them. In theory. It was still fun to play. I lost it in Hurricane Katrina.

  • @tomjohn2649
