cmatthes Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 tappin' didn't start in the '80s:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pSVZP4DRPI That's actually how I first learned how to play a harmonic - touch the string 12 frets up from the fretted note and pluck with your thumbnail of your right hand as you pull away. Some late '70s Guitar Player article or something had that technique in it - probably the late Tommy Tedesco or somebody like that.George Van Epps and Jimmie Webster were also doing the "true" tapping (a la '70s EVH) in the 50s. Of course, those guys were the "Van Halens" of their day, I guess.Merle T. was cool...

mudshark Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Travis with his son, Thom Bresh:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-ZZtS0ApdYToo cool!!! There were better technical players than ol' Merle, but none with more style!!I saw Bresh in concert once; he was great, told this story:He and Travis were walking around after Travis' set at a festival. A wide-eyed youth approached Merle and after meeting the great one, breathlessly asked what kind of strings he used.A shocked Travis said, "Why son, I use gee-tar strings!"Bresh said Travis later asked why someone would ask him such and thing, and Bresh ventured that perhaps the young man was interested in brand and gauge.

That's one thing I always liked about guitar players -- always looking for a new angle --Link Wray punching holes in speakers and Paul Burlison pulling a tube halfway out of the socket for distortion. Les Paul and echo. Tremolos, Univibes................by golly, I love it!
salem Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Hi. I still have a dial up connection. Is it possible for me to watch youtube videos without having to wait forever? If so, how?
Dasein Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 tappin' didn't start in the '80s:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pSVZP4DRPIYou do understand he wasn't "tapping" right? Not in the sense we know it. Those are simple harmonics with the string plucked behind the finger with the thumb and the left hand in a fixed chord shape.
Jorge Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 This is a really shitty take, but they had the best guitar tone, rock voice and rock drumming ever!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frpPWTVRiKQ...ted&search=
i8guitar Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I think everything about this song is great: vocals, guitar, bass, drumsBlack Sabbath - War Pigs Live in Paris 1970
DavidF Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Poor quality video but kind of cool - Boston with a guy too short to be a quarterback sitting in on drums:

custom53 Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 The internet and youtube is remarkable...This is a talent show at the Ohio State Fair in 1968 that I was in the front row for...whew.........!!!!!It is hell getting older...Yes, that is Larry Graham... Flea and a lot of other bass players should thank him for starting slap....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrt2RAnOyBo
Disturber Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Well that is one year before I was born. I would have loved to see that show. Sly and the family stone are one of my fav artists, (one of many). I saw an interview with Larry where he said that he was originaly a drummer, but they had no bassplayer in the band so he played bass at some gigs. Well then of course they had no drummer, (as he was playing bass), so Larry started thumping the strings where the kick was supposed to be, and snap where the snare was supposed to be. That is how he invented the slap bass style. Then later came the P funk with Bootsy, and disco music etc, and then waaay later Flea picked up on the trade.
