The sound is more SG than LP, anyway.<br /><br />Prove me wrong.<br /><br />This wouldn't be a big deal if Gibson wasn't trying to sell a replica of the Harrison-Clapton 1957 Les Paul Standard "Lucy" for 22K, claiming that it was used by Clapton on this song. EC himself says it was used for the recording, but his memory at that time wasn't totally reliable, and they might have recorded several takes using different guitars. The one that ended up on the White Album is played on a guitar with a vibrola or bigsby.Staffan William-Olssonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-27757559807462432352012-01-20T07:29:32.829-08:002012-01-20T07:29:32.829-08:00Unfortunately, the labels watch this blog and imme...Unfortunately, the labels watch this blog and immediately send take-down notices when I find these things.

Since when are bass (or guitar) tracks copyrightable? Doesn't that open a can of worms for all session players to get paid royalties? I'll take mine via PayPal, thanks...Zeek Duffhttp://www.myspace.com/zeekduffmusicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-62541121898706446592011-01-06T02:39:17.004-08:002011-01-06T02:39:17.004-08:00Sounds like humbuckers to me and the solo section ...Sounds like humbuckers to me and the solo section is classic Clapton with string bending instead of a tremelo. I dont think I've ever seen Eric use a whammy on his strats??? Cant recall.<br /><br /> You're probably right about the amp being a Fender, Bobby. Sounds like a Fender Twin cranked all the way with no distortion pedal. I like how he uses effects for certain notes then clicks off. I hear the foot tapping too.<br /><br /> You're also right about this being one take. I can't hear any edits or punch ins. He's just playing along to the song very loosely and almost sounds like he's not completely familiar with the song. He probably learned it in the studio the day he tracked his part.<br /><br />Oh, listen to it weep around 1:47<br /><br />Spooky.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988614963736156413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-44205526374292442092011-01-05T21:32:15.450-08:002011-01-05T21:32:15.450-08:00It's a Gibson LP all the way.It's a Gibson LP all the way.DGhttp://(optional)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-43949559029060239852011-01-05T17:46:11.562-08:002011-01-05T17:46:11.562-08:00One of my favorites so far -- thanks, Bobby!
