Stratocaster Master

[MrBuddyHolly1]

Hendrix?!?!?!

[Watermox]

@MrBuddyHolly1 . Yeah Hendrix

[MrBuddyHolly1]

@Watermox then were is he?

[Watermox]

@MrBuddyHolly1 Right at the Beginning after Bonnie Raitt.

[Watermox]

@Watermox Some young people like Hendrix, but they do not recognize him. All Along the Watchtower , a Bob Dylan song, is classic and probably the best example of who Jimi was as a guitarist.

[MrBuddyHolly1]

@Watermox no i recognize him. it's just, i guess i skipped ahead. D:

[Watermox]

@MrBuddyHolly1 Hendrix will be on the final exam. Make sure you read your notes thoroughly beginning with the first page. :)

[alijav091]

is that pete townsted at 1:03?

[Watermox]

@alijav091  yes it is, with his red strat.

[aivopark]

Strat gives you a great space to do anything, it could sound whatever.

[chirpybee]

Music companies seem to find it hard to accept that hearing stuff online more often than not leads to a sale - certainly I buy loads of albums after browsing and following links online.

[Watermox]

@chirpybee These are short clips too. I bet the artist would not mind. Fender does not mind show casing their artists and their guitars.

[SupernalOne]

Eric Gales, anyone?

[mikka972]

Great !

Stratocaster is the guitar of all situations.

[MegaTronn]

What's the name of the Jeff Beck tune on this video?

[Watermox]

@MegaTronn Jeff Beck with the Yardbirds. Shape of Things

[RastaIsAStateOfMind]

SRV is the best of all of them.

[LeRoiDelaRue]

What? No Ritchie????????!!!!!!

He - and Rory - made the Strat THE icon in the rock world that it is

[Watermox]

@LeRoiDelaRue

Ritchie who??



[TheKeyPez]

@Watermox Ritchie Blackmore

[Watermox]

@TheKeyPez . I know , I was being a bit facetious.

[bakinek]

Van Halen is WANTED man:)

[Watermox]

Frankenstrat?? Not a true strat. Either are Kramers

[realtalkmfdb]

thankyou

[nice1centurion]

@Watermox I like how u didn't play comfortably numb with David Gilmour :)

[suzanavlada]

Nice Video (Stratman always)

Regards from Serbia!!!

[Johngtr13]

Thank you for the video! Nice to compare different Strat sounds. Good job you did.

[Watermox]

Thanks. You are right....Strats ALL sound different but somewhat the same depending on who is playing it.

[3439ra]

knopfler! those other is nothing compare

[Watermox]

The Last Door . Robin Trower and Jack Bruce. The new Cream?

[plasticaholic]

Watermox what song was that Trower solo from ?

[BluesDuke]

The vid shows Pete Townshend playing a Strat to the background music of "Won't Get Fooled Again." Problem is, Pete used a Gretsch 6120 Chet Aktins to record that song. ....and virtually every other Who song in the '70s.

[Watermox]

I saw Pete play in 1973 while doing the Who's Next tour. He did not play a 6120 on stage, he played an SG. Pete does perform this song nowdays on that red strat.

[BluesDuke]

Yep, Pete thought the Gretsch a bit too fragile for stage use. But he used it for all his studio work. ...played through a '59 Fender Bandmaster.

[plasticaholic]

This is the best comp ive seen so far Rory and Sonny werent overlooked for a change ..:) You sir know your Stratsmen !

[Watermox]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Watermox]

Thanks for the comment. The song Eric played is called " The Shape your In". A little trivia here ...he wrote this for Patty Boyd whom he stole from his good pal George Harrison. He was a little upset finding her intoxicated all the time. George was probably releived that Eric was now her main man.

[mavericknoone]

thanks for the clip, i've heard samples of artists i've never heard of before :)

ps: what's the song called that clapton plays in the clip ?

[Watermox]

Bob Dylan is a Master ....Period.

[tuvalvola]

Is Bob Dylan a master of stratocaster?

[Watermox]

In July of 1965 in Newport, one of the most defining events in Rock and Roll History took place when Bob Dylan walked on stage not with his Martin,but a Stratocaster.

[grelch]

Good list. I like the songs you chose too. Of course George Harrison's solo is actually played by Eric Clapton.

[Watermox]

Thanks. You are right about Clapton on the Lead. Harrison has said of the solo:

"So Eric played that, and I thought it was really good. Then we listened to it back, and he said, "Ah, there's a problem though; it's not Beatley enough." So we put it through the ADT [automatic double-track] to wobble it up a bit."

Eric gave George that Strat
