YouTube is full of experts telling you how to play Jay Graydon’s fantastic solo from “Peg”, all of them wrong. Finally the great man has shown how to do it himself, with a few stories about how it was recorded. Unsurprisingly the secret was a bit of theory in response to Walter saying “think blues” and a whole lot of chance taking and winging it.

Ah, Twang! Thank and thank, this is more like it!
That’s nothing. I can play Safety Pin Stuck In My Heart by Patrik Fitzgerald.
I’ve no idea how to play guitar but I enjoyed that. Thanks.
There are a few really good podcasts with Jay. He gives good story.
Thanks Twang.
One of the truly great guitar solos.
All I need now is someone to teach me how to sing like Michael McDonald and I’m set.
Top drawer. You might also enjoy this article about Larry Carlton’s work with Don and Walt.

This Guy is Great.
He breaks down what makes a song great and shows you the solos.
In this case Kid Charlemagne.
Yes Rick’s really good. I’ve watched loads of his videos.
I came to Rick’s YT channel via his demystification of the ‘When The Levee Breaks’ drum sound, which includes a clip of Andy Johns explaining just how he achieved that distinctive echo.
I have just been grinning for 10 minutes and 1 second.
*reaches for Citizen box, turns up to 11*
The sound on the Citizen’s Box isn’t a patch on the 1999 remasters.
With a heavy heart I have to agree. Sorry Vulpes, another guy on the plastic!
hit not guy!
You were close 🙂

A half-speed vinyl remaster box set would be nice
