a tune off 1 of my top 5 favorite albums

yeah.....i had to get on youtube to toss my two cents in about who's playing the gtr solo.

someone claimed steve khan. doubt it. he's a great player but i've never heard khan play like that.

very little doubt in my mind that in fact it's walter becker. his tone, phrasing, jazz sensibility, and melodic ideas. becker's got to be one of THE most underrated and overlooked gtrsts!

as much as i love that clean slightly "clucky" strat tone of becker's...there's nothing wrong w Carlton's tone on this other dan tune. man, that first diminished chord always sends chills...

BTW dane....one of my top five albums...."Royal Scam"

"Royal Scam" is my favorite Dan album.

dont know if I ever heard that one before ....
I like a clean-ish tone like that though for sure

I may eventually build me one like this:

Mahogany Body/ Maple Top
30" Scale "Soft V" Shaped Graphite Reinforced Mahogany Neck w/ Ebony Fretboard and "Samurai Sword" Style Headstock
Gibson 498T Bridge PU
DiMarzio Super Distortion Middle PU
Seymour Duncan P-90 Neck PU
Medium-Heavy Groundwound Strings
