Daily . A superb from the latter days of SKB.

If someone ever asked me for an example of a perfectly structured and executed guitar solo, I’d pick Amos Garett’s solo in Midnight at the Oasis, Larry Carlton in Kid Charlemagne, and the one in the second half here.





tube tremolo
mm mm good cracker!

Daily . A killer show from the early era with Rodney, Mitch, and Bobby Vega. The making magnificent sounds.

As often happens on the archive, the file names/titles are off by one place, but doesn’t change the killer nature of the music. That !

2/ OK, how to dial up a ? I do it the same way I dial up ANY amp, which begins by listening to just the amp, not the guitar through the amp.

1. Plug in your guitar, turn the guitar volume off.

2. Turn the amp control off, everything all the way down.

3. Get right down next to the speaker.

4. Open up your post effect master 50-75%. Listen to the amp blow through the speaker, anything?

5. Open up the front master a little bit, listen to the blow.

6. Open up the gain to 1

Daily . This version of his signature tune often gets mentioned as the definitive performance. I can’t disagree. And as always, it’s followed by a delicious version of .

The is a white 60s with lipstick tube pickups, strung w D’Addarios 14 18 28w 38 49 64 (no shit!). I’m guessing the amp is a 50 watt paired with a of some type. LXP1 reverb.

Daily track. Staying with the Holmes-Mathis-Walter lineup, here’s a massive 30 minute version of one of his signature pieces, It’s Up to You.

Starts with the Caribbean flavor but then veers into the wide open section over an E ground, which ventures into all manner of places (including some eye popping speed around 16:00, something he’s generally loathe to do).

is it ? ? Sounds like Bitch's Brew with more guitar to me. Smokin , to boot.

The effect mid-way is 's old , tricked into making great noises.

Drummer Rodney Holmes (, , the Breckers); keyboardist Robert Walter (-Stars, Robert Walter’s 20th Congress); bassist Reed Mathis ().
