A stunning solo version of a Bowie classic by an LA musician (from the group Capital Cities); its always interesting to see someone take on a number known for high, lavish production values and reduce it simply and artfully to just one person and one instrument...

Rumble is one of the archetypal R&R guitar recordings of all time. I remember, as a young kid, hearing the number on the radio and being captivated by the sound of that guitar and the overall feeling of menace in the mood. I remember the older kids really liked the record, but our school frowned upon it as being "JD" (juvenile delinquent) music; it was never banned in San Francisco, and it wasn't until years later I learned it was banned in other cities. This Wikipedia article has some interesting information: Rumble (instrumental) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(instrumental) The number was also very influential for one particular listener who later went on to make a bit of a name for himself on the guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLEUSn8y9TI There is something amusing about watching someone like Page playing 'air guitar to favorite record... I know there are several guitar players in Subsim and I think it might be interesting to hear about what their first guitar influence experiences were. I started being interested in playing guitar when I heard Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley songs on the radio as a kid; Bo had that rhythm and that tremolo guitar sound, but Chuck had all those flash licks and runs, so this song is the one that really got me wanting a guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT3kCVFFLNg Every guitar player that followed after him owes a royalty to Chuck for all those cool playing moves they nicked from him over the years... I still play 'air guitar' to that song... Years later, as a 13-year-old kid watching the Ed Sullivan show in February of 1964, four rather regular looking guys with guitars had girls screaming to get at them; hmm, regular guys (like me) with teenage girls throwing themselves at them (unlike me) and the main difference was they had guitars and I didn't: "I really gotta get a guitar!!" ... Anybody else?... <O> |
I took up Bass. Only 4 strings, should be easy, then one of them broke and it was even easier :)
we never got beyond the garage stage......but we did have groupies!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xup7...rt_radio=1&t=9 |
Well, bass players are known for the bottom, aren't they...

I started to play when I was about 12 or 13. I couldn't sing or play rhythm very well and I still can't so I got into playing lead which seem to come natural. Back then (early 60's) there was no TAB books or YouTube. I think it made you a better player to learn by ear. These are some of the first songs I tried to learn with varying degrees of success.

I had been on the lookout for an album called Burgers and a copy finally showed up at a music store so I snagged it. :D It was a big mistake. The first time I listened to the opening notes of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBux...00BC46&index=7 I KNEW I could never get THAT good. :wah: |
