The New Cars - Elliot Easton - Eastwood AIRLINE Tuxedo Guitar

[tikitortured]

Is that Pat? That's Pat!!

[huskerspew]

He's a houndstooth hillbilly!

[Xcorgi]

I didnt think the Eastwood guitar would sound that great but it does have a nice sound mix between a Gretch w/TV Jones pickups and a good old fashioned twangy Telecaster. No matter what he plays he always dials in the perfect tone!

[xandnotx]

massively underrated.



[alvicious]

wow elton john can jam!

[AThetan]

[tacomadc]

[mariofan4523]

@CliffDiverMusic lol

[ishredder]

A part of the solo (0:06 - 0:14) is based on the retrain from the Beatles song "I will" from the White Album as Elliot has mentioned in interviews about his influences.

[PooPoo2U]

man elliott, you really are the shit!

[porcelaincougar]

@PooPoo2U always was!!

[notbendable]

I was a kid when this song came out... it wasn't until years later I realised that this solo was straight up rockabilly.

Probably the most beautiful rockabilly guitar solo ever played outside of a traditional rockabilly song/context.

[heraclitusmarr]

Elliot's got great taste in guitars. That's an Eastwood Tuxedo -- a clone of an old Kay Barney Kessel.

[upst8]

Nice close-up of the solo - very helpful!

[tamroyt]

A great moment in guitar history.
