There's so many great swirley whirly parts on record. Gotta love "Badge" but I think my favorite has to be those grinding guitars on Badfinger's "No Matter What".......others?

I posted my version of "No Matter What" for you, check it out. Peace!

"The Fool" from "Quicksilver Messenger Service"(1968) has some nice leslie guitar parts.I don't know if it was John Cipolina or Gary Duncan who was hooked up to the old roter box but all the guitar work on that album is excellent.

Jimmy,
"No Matter What" sounds cool. Tell Bill his snare sound is the best!

Sounds good Jimmy...you need to put vocals on that one.

Although not technically a Leslie, The Beatles had some nice stuff going thru the Fender Vibratone cabinet on Abbey Road. And the same for the guitar solo on the 45 version of Let It Be. Also I like the Leslie guitar intro to Ringo's It Don't Come Easy

The coolest thing that I ever heard "through a Leslie" that wasn't a Hammond B3, was back in the very early 70's. It was a baritone sax being played by the great jazzman "Jay Cameron"at some big multi-band gig at East Stroudsburg University. I remember playing "Hit The Road Jack"with the band that I was with. Another local band "Sunn" featured the late "Cesar Carrillo Diaz" on guitar. Ceser went on to tour with "Dylan"and became a noted tube amp specialist. The band that "blew everyone away" however, was a country rock group, led by none other then "Hardneck Moonalice" aka G.E Smith. (he went on to tour with "Dylan" too!) Needless to say,I wish I had thought to pack a tape recorder!



Jimmy,
I have to disagree with Dajax on this one. I like the idea of hearing versions of songs with instuments playing the "melody". That's the way most Jazz is played.

Hey thanks again HowlinJ! I did an entire album of instrumental covers like that I called "NoVox". I am very proud of this album even though it's covers:

1. No Matter What
2. California Dreamin'
3. Up Around The Bend
4. Happy Together
5. Norwegian Wood
6. Europa
7. Burning Of The Midnight Lamp
8. Killing Floor
9. Little Wing
10. Rock & Roll Part II

I think "no matter what" made such good use of that sound that no one else needs to try. Jimmy, send me that track minus the leads for vox!! Along with the Sabbath track!! Rockin' will surely ensue!

I'd like to but my engineer isn't sure which drive it's on, along with a lot of other stuff I recorded before the studio moved. I'll see him this week and figure it out.

Good luck my man. Shoot you could send 8 - 12 tracks w/o lead vox but w/ everything else including lead guitars and I could knock out an album I'd be proud of in short order. You have a great sound Jimmy.
