Some of us are just players. We stretch the boundaries within the comforts
of the known. But a few guys decide that’s not enough and invent a whole
new language. In the ‘50s, Chuck Berry invented electric rock guitar playing
out of whole cloth. In the ‘60s it was Jimi Hendrix who played like an alien
from a distant planet. In the ‘70s it was Eddie Van Halen who stepped ontothe stage, turned everyone’s heads, and changed the way the rest of us
play. Like Berry and Hendrix before him, Van Halen spoke a language none
of us had heard before. Yet all of us understood. And then the rest of us,
who are just plain rock players, well, we all tried to speak like him. Finally,
for those of us still trying, here are some of Eddie’s vocabulary builders.

ESSENTIAL ALBUMS
JOHN MAYALL
Often referred to as the “dean of British Blues,” Mayall’sband, the Bluesbreakers, gave us some of the nestmoments ever from guitarists Eric Clapton, Peter Green,Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Walter Trout, and CocoMontoya. Just as so many musicians who played withMiles Davis went on to lead their own Hall of Famecareers, the Bluesbreakers guitarists were destined todo the same. The roots of Cream, Fleetwood Mac, thesound of Canned Heat, and a Rolling Stone all found astarting point with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. “Fatherof British Blues,” the “dean,” or “teacher” are otherlabels that have been placed on Mayall. Though headmits there is a certain truth to it saying, “I’ve alwaysthought of myself as a band leader – not a schoolteacher. I didn’t say this is the way it goes. All I coulddo is turn people on to certain records and say checkthis out; and whatever inuences they got would bene.” Here are some recordings John Mayall gave us asessential listening.

On no other instrument
but the guitar does the
union between technique
and electronics utterly
dictate content. Pull-offs
and hammer-ons, for
example, while accessible
on acoustic guitars, as
well as other members of
the stringed instrument
family where piston-like
fingers are required, are
most expressive when
boosted by the wondersof amplification. See if you
can guess the famous rock
and blues classics inspired
by the following riffs.

NUGGETS: NAME THAT TUNE
The trill in Fig. 4 has been featured in countlessclassic rock tunes including one by a “noted”British blues rocker who crossed the “bridge” inthe mid-70s. Most guitarists will want to utilizethe strong middle nger to access the root onstring 4.
No need to be nervous while paying props toTony Iommi in Fig. 1 as he demonstrates theboundless E minor pentatonic scale. Leatherngertips optional!
Rockabilly cats, including “stray” felines, wereoften fond of the rippling pull-offs in Fig. 2. Usingthe middle and index ngers is recommendedwhile “slaloming” down the root position of the Ecomposite blues scale.
Fig. 3 should lift your “depression” if repeated ina “manic” manner. As a variation, try playing atfret 2, leaving string 5 open while pulling off fromthe A note on string 3 to string 3 open (G).

Aw shucks. Fig. 6 “amply” demonstrates whythe root position of the E minor pentatonic scaleis fertile ground for ever “Green,” blues-rockingriffs. Again, the muscular middle nger works
best for the hammer-ons.
Coincidentally, E.C. was also “here” in Fig. 8 inthe early ‘60s, though he opted to replicate theoriginal “King-ly” riff in a higher register of the Emajor pentatonic scale.
“Whip” the A minor pentatonic hammer and pullswith a combination of the index and ring ngersin Fig. 5. Those reliant on the 4/4 time signaturesshould not fear the 6/8. Just count “ONE-two-
three, ONE-two-three” per bar.
Even those who do not believe in astrology willwant to know Fig. 7. Though his thoughts onthe occult may be unknown, Ol’ Slowhand cut aclassic cover back in the day featuring this.

CLASSIC CORNER: BACKTRACKCLASSIC CORNER: BACKTRACK
embellishing it, and developing it. But he doesn’tknow what chord it is or where to put his nger.But he knows when it’s kind of correct. When you wrote “Hotel California,” youdidn’t feel any extra spark from it thatmade it any different than the other 16songs on the tape?
No. As a matter of fact, when we nished therecord in the studio Henley was sitting therelistening in playback and said, “I think thatshould be our rst single.” I went, “You’re kidding
me. Its six minutes and thirty seconds long. Noradio station in America is going to play that.”And it starts off kind of soft, and it stops inthe middle, and the groove is kind of reggae. Idisagreed with that being our rst single. ButI bowed to the wisdom of Mr. Henley, who hasprevailed (laughs).
“Hotel California” is a parts song – like theharmony ending is a denite “part.”
The whole thing was supposed to be similarto Mexican trumpets. I grew up learning myphrasing and thinking melodically as a hornplayer. I probably should have been a hornplayer; and I’d still be banging around the streetof New York here. I kind of grew up hearing
things that way and for that song, since it haskind of a Mexican avor, Spanish avor, what doyou do? The horns are sort of like a Mexican hornpart or a Mariachi band would play somethingsimilar to that. As a matter of fact, when we didthe acoustic version for MTV I almost had someMariachi horn players come in and play some ofthose things. But I thought it was better to keepit down to the band. I didn’t want to be labeledwith the Linda Ronstadt approach, but that’s kindof what it was. So yeah, I guess they are hornparts.
Many people don’t know that you play therst half of the classic “Hotel California”solo. When guitarists speak of perfect solosthey use “Hotel California” as an example.Other guitarists will say, “I wish I hadtaken that solo.”
Wow. I’m attered. I’ve never been told that. Ihad done that track on a little Teac 4 track andI played the whole solo all the way out, and theharmonies, and pretty much all of it. But it waskind of a challenge because we had gotten intothis groove on “One of these Nights,” with Glennand I, of trading fours on a couple of songs like
“Too Many Hands.” It’s like where McCartney,Lennon, and Harrison trade those bits on “TheEnd” on Abbey Road . So when we got into thestudio to do that I said, “Hey why don’t I takeone and we’ll get Joe to take one and we’ll tradeand then we’ll do some harmony.” Joe said, “Yougo rst.” So I did, which was pretty much whatI coached through on the tape. As a matter of
fact, when we started doing the solos, Henleyhad gotten so locked into my demo that when Iplayed another solo he said, “No, no, no that’snot what you played on the tape.” I said, “Idon’t know what I played on the tape?” We werein the studio in Miami and we had to call myhousekeeper who was babysitting my daughterand she took a machine very similar to the onewe are recording on now and played it over thephone. I recorded it on another machine – one

CLASSIC CORNER: ROCK MEMORABILIA
You might be surprised by how many musicians are also adept with the paintbrush, or inthis case, the pencil. Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Paul McCartney,David Bowie, and Ron Wood are among the many musicians who fancy their time with abrush in hand. Pink Floyd has always been cinematic with their music. So it should come
as no surprise that all the members of Pink Floyd attended art school – even if it was brief.Presented here is a line drawing of one of Waters’ cats relaxing on the couch. The other
focus of the drawing is the hand-written lyrics to “Outside The Wall.” ■

SOUND ADVICE
With this in mind, he gave us some sound adviceon songwriting and the acoustic guitar.
Since the rst song I’ve ever written, it hasalways been on an acoustic guitar. That wasbasically because I could never turn my amps upin my house. I’d always get people yelling andbitchin’. Writing on an acoustic seemed to giveme instant gratication. Beating on a 12-stringor a great sounding six with new strings on ithelped me create.
What’s the difference in voice between anelectric and an acoustic guitar?
On electric guitar I would tend to play a lot ofopen E’s and A’s, where on an acoustic I’m moreinclined to be picking and looking for a melodywithin the chord structure. On the electric I’mknocking up an overdrive pedal and making allmy best Scorpions faces in the mirror. From asongwriter’s point of view – for me to sit downwith an acoustic – I’m thinking melody. I’mthinking of hooks. For me, an acoustic is the wayto do that.
So he’s got a look, a voice, enthusiasm,and show. But most of all, Jon Bon
Jovi has songs. He’s got songs for theband, songs for Cher, songs for TedNugent, songs for Alice Cooper. Hiscollaborations with Richie Samboraand sometimes Desmond Child helpeddefine the genre of power/metal topop/country for 30 years. In doing so,he and his group have brought guitar-based rock back to the top of the
charts, and to an audience much likethose of yesteryear, who, like whenthey first heard The Beatles, couldturn to the guitar and make the musicof the future. So while he is not in aleague with Eddie Van Halen or RichieSambora, Jon Bon Jovi has had a bigimpact on the guitar world.

COVER STORY
David also tries to shake things up in the studiowhen trying to nd a creative spark on theguitar. “First, I try to get silly. I’d much rather
just be wild and forget any sense of ‘getting itright.’ Out of those wild moments come goodideas I develop further. Most of the solos start
with doing ten different tracks and I punch inquite a bit. I wind up taking parts from threeof them and sticking them together. I look forcertain moments, and if these moments matchup with other moments that are right, those arethe bits I keep. I’m looking for feel and a senseof movement. Performing live, you try to getit rough and also try to be brave – it doesn’tmatter if you drop a clunker. The record lasts,the performance is transitory. I’m an enormousfan of Jeff Beck because he is not afraid to screwup. People who are afraid tend to get boring.”
TONE
Like his heroes Hank Marvin, Clapton, JimiHendrix, and Chicago bluesman Buddy Guy,Gilmour has largely used a Fender Stratocaster,taking advantage of the Strat’s dynamics todeliver everything from subtle chord arpeggiosto blazing solos. He also tools around from timeto time on Telecasters, Gibson Les Pauls, andvarious Martin acoustics, as well as a varietyof pedal steel and lap steel instruments. Davidespecially tears it up on lap steel on tracks like
“One of These Days” and “High Hopes.” Theformer Pink Floyd frontman also owns one of thevery rst Fender Strats – a 1954 plank with theserial number #0001.
Like the innovative Syd Barrett, his predecessorin Pink Floyd, David isn’t above using heavyeffects to deliver an idea. Whereas Barrett usedthe early Binson Echo-Rec echo box, Gilmourhas used a swath of Fuzz Face and Big Muff fuzz
boxes, echo, Univox Uni-Vibe, Vox wah-wah, MXRDynacomp, Electro–Mistress chorus, MXR Phase90 phase shifter, and Leslie rotating. This barelyscratches the surface of his monster rig, whichalso involves many amps, preamps, and speakercombinations. If you had to sum up Gilmour’ssound in one word, it would be “wet.” David isn’tafraid to ladle gobs of echo and phase shifterover his Strat tone to create an otherworldlytexture. One of his coolest tricks is a sort of
“When I was starting
out, I was trying
to learn 12-string
acoustic guitar likeLead Belly. At the
same time I was trying
to learn lead guitar
like Hank Marvin, and
later, Clapton.”

While playing the 214ce, I was amazed at howbig and rich the tone sounded for a guitar that’sslightly smaller than a big dreadnought. It’s alsovery comfortable! Electric players will dig thelow action and easy playability right out of thebox. The cutaway body makes higher regions of
the body easy a breeze to access on the ebonyfretboard. For instance, it was easy to play theintro to Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive.”
What the 214ce lacks in bells and whistles of themore expensive Taylors, it certainly makes upfor in sound, playability, quality, and comfort.The tonal characteristics on this guitar are allyou’d expect from a high quality acoustic. Theguitar projects loudly – whether strummed with a
pick or played nger style; and I was impressedwith its tonal characteristics. Both low and highnotes are clear and dened in all registers of thefretboard, and chords sound lush and rich. Whenplugged into an amp, the Expression System, aproprietary piezo pickup, replicates the acoustictone of the guitar magnicently. It’s certainlyeasy to become captivated by the sound. In fact,my wife had to pry me away from the guitar onseveral occasions!
