The Best Solo You Never Heard
zhlédnutí 3,6KPřed 5 měsíci
One of the best solos I've ever heard, from one of the most unique English session players ever to live: the late, great Alan Murphy. Alan worked with Go West, Kate Bush, Scritti Politti, Mike and the Mechanics and Level 42 throughout the 1980's; a phenomenally interesting and criminally underrated guitar player.

Steve Lukather's Solo on "She's Still Mine" by David Roberts
Very interesting and informative video. I'm always looking for different colours for guitar tones. I love the sounds of the '80s guitar rigs; they have such wonderful textures. Thank you for your insight. Cheers, Perry
I’ve followed Dann since his White Heart days. He is still under the radar of many. I always felt he was one of the top lead guitarists because of his technical prowess, his sound and his melodic leads that soar over any composition: leads that blended the lead melodically and thematically to any song he approached. Lacking is videos such as yours, highlighting not only Dann, but his sound. Dude, you killed it! Thank you!
Alan's short but eloquent solo from the Total Contrast track, 'Takes a little time' is a real gem. You can find the track here on CZcams. Although you'll have to search for it as there are a few versions that don't feature it. I think the solo you chose here is from their appearance on the Channel 4 80s show. 'The Tube'.
Thanks for this analysis Richard.
sounds really good
That's awesome ! I want to hear more !
I love the area of music you cover. Lots of great players w/ saturated effects before and around U2's Edge. ( Thinking of Giant, The Fixx ,Flock of Seagulls). Your professionalism is evident in playing. Appreciate the content.
Excellent stuff here Richard and very informative. Thank you.
Came for the Charger HB, keep coming back for the tune! e: have a Charger 290 on order, should arrive in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!
Super !
thats an expensive set if guitars! looks like a lot of fun
Awesome!
Looks like the Lukather EMG set?
I feel like I'm watching a Van Damme movie right now.
Wow!! Absolutely amazing playing 😊
Another great video!
Thank you, Ray!
Fantastic!
Thanks Tim!
I’m looking forward the time you’ll own your first rack unit. Could be SPX90❤
Ha! Don't tempt me!
The way Michael Landau played his solo in 'Goodbye Guiding Light' just blew my mind. For a second, he played inside the box, then jumped out, and then got back in. Spectacular!
I know exactly the part you mean- amazing!
You can't teach what Luke has, he is one of the most creative and spontaneuos guitarists off all time.i
Nice tone and play! If i get a kemper pack, possible to use jay's tone? How can i get this
Great record, I’m actually really good friends with Russ, he has some interesting stories about Jeff porcaro playing on that record
So awesome, man! It's a killer record!
Great breakdown. Mikes a personal hero. I’ve seen him twice at the Spud. It’s a life experience seeing him in that venue
Thanks so much! And yes, I can concur with that! I've seen Mike once at the Spud and once at Ronnie Scott's in London: mind-blowing both times!
Took me a while but i have a Classic 50 2 x 12 on irs way ro my home. This video sealed the deal for me, thank you, Richard!! Thinking about another one and running them stereo or dual mono. I never thought i would play an EL84 amp, nor did i think id buy a Peavey. But man, these amps sound so good!! Hope you are doing great!
That's awesome, Roger! They are great little sleepers! I hope you get much joy from yours!
So good Sir…thanks for the insight
My pleasure- thanks for watching!
Your Cross of Gold cover has such a beautiful tone that I really want to hear it as a complete version.
Thanks so much!
I use a loaded Tyler with titanium floyd. A dyno my piano tri stereo Chorus. Lexicon pcm 70 eventide hd3000dse a tube Compressor and a modded dbx 160...a spx90 a vintage Marshall cab...and I get exact landau, tones. I invested near 20k to get the right sound.
Sounds like a killer rig!
I cant see the pedalboard...where is it? ....where is the signal path? 🙋♂
There are photos of the board at the beginning and end of the video. Signal path was basically bottom row (from left to right) in front of the amp then top row in the loop (or in front) also from left to right. Comp > Chaos Theory > Rockett Animal > Lil Wave > Strymon DIG > Strymon Flint
Mikes out the ordinary thought process helps.
For sure!
Love ur playing
Thanks so much!
Nice!👍🏻🎸🎶
Thanks man!
Bloody awesome lesson you got a new subscriber
Thanks so much!
It's all in the earring
It's the seat of my powers!
How ironic Kurt Cobain didn’t know a single thing about guitar theory
If that were the case, he couldn’t play a chord. So not “ironic “, but miraculous! 😉
@@TeleTonemonkeyOne doesn’t need to understand theory to play guitar or chords. There are plenty of players who didn’t know or learn any theory until years after they started playing.
Idk about this, he had an ear for diatonics and knew them off of the major scale but that's as far as his music theory ever went. Journals (despite being ethically questionable) has a BUNCH of his early chord charts and open position pentatonic scale scribblings from guitar lessons, but he only ever employed that knowledge for songwriting
Players like Mike Landau and Luke are perhaps the exception, rather than the rule, when it comes to their schooled approach to music. They set out with the intention of becoming top drawer studio musicians so their whole focus was very different to that of a songwriter like Kurt. So many great players and songwriters aren't able to articulate what they're doing in theoretical terms, yet it has no bearing on the excellence of their output. Where I find theory most useful is in teaching; it gives us the ability to demystify, quantify and, subsequently, pass on some of the magic of these incredible players, composers and songwriters.
@@jaycareaga9929 you don’t know what you are saying. Theory doesn’t necessarily mean you sit in a class or read a book on it. Leaning chords, scales when to use them how to solo over them is all theory. They learned from friends, watching others and practice and playing but they learned. It’s not like a 5 year old who picks up an instrument beats the piss out of and doesn’t create any music …that is an individual who doesn’t know any theory.
Thank god! I was waiting for a new video of yours, and I was hoping it was either Luke or Landau. Great as always, big fan here!
Thanks man! I've neglected Luke and Landau somewhat recently so felt a Landau video was overdue!
Great lesson as always, def need to release a landau book ......
Thanks man!
Brilliant Rich, thank you!
Thank you, Omar!
Thank you, again!
My pleasure- thank you for watching!
Excellent playing, tone and demonstration! Thanks for explaining these Richard! :)
Thanks Ben!
I wanted to say "fantastic episode," but jayboy beat me to it. So, I'll say GREAT episode. Very implementable advice that should pay big dividends for any guitarist who still struggles to play over changes (particularly non-diatonic changes, but really any changes).
Thank you very much- I really appreciate it!
@@RichardWatson My pleasure. You do a terrific job.
Fantastic Rich. Fascinating episode
Thanks Johnny!
Great pedal, but the playing: highly skilled and TASTEFUL!! Just Great!
Thanks so much!
I remember seeing this video a few months ago and loving that solo in the intro! Since then, I had a brief exchange over Instagram with you about the Suhr IR loadbox. Was this one of those tracks you would've used the 1.2 preset on that box for? Or rather, a cab mic'd up?
Hey man! Yes- this would have been Load Box for sure!
Sweet! Thanks! Now it's time to go try to replicate that sound.😆 Also, what's the name of this track?
Hi man! Great playing! Whose song is it in the beginning of the vídeo and In the mix part?
Thanks man! A Canadian artist called Matthew Alexa. I've done a whole record for him- I'll let you know when it comes out!
Excelent lesson. Great tone. Thanks.
No problem- thank you!
Great playing, great tone & very informative 🔥
Thanks so much!
Excelent! Here in Argentina are too expensive and too many things of guitar world they don`t arrive. I've got Boss Ce2 - CS3 Compresor - Strats and Boss Delay DD3 and a Blackface Amp. Please recommend me some Pedal for ML or Dann Huff 80s tones style. Thanks!! P.D: (XTS pedals don`t arrive for example)
The pedals you've got sound great! From the recommendation of friends, the Boss PS6 is supposed to be great for that Eventide Micro Pitch Shift thing- always an important component with 80's tones! I've also heard many people like the MXR Super Badass Distortion for Huff/Landau lead tones.
@@RichardWatson thank you veruñy much Richard! And I see that you understood my english ja. I'll see this MXR. Here there is Friedman Dirty Shirley, Marvel Ramble V3, Xotic SL drive and not much more. Thanks again Richard!
Great video!
Thank you!
This is so awesome to see. I was just thinking about how under appreciated Alan Murphy is in the context of modern electric guitar, I love his work in almost every context. Thanks for sharing a bit of his legacy!!!
My pleasure! Thanks so much!
Think I've got it figured out - very similar to his work on Leslie Phillips' "Tug of War."
Nice!
