@xpi7 plays Bar chords well ...he should be able to after 45 years ! I'll put my tin hat on ! as I'll get some abuse , I'm sorry but it just gets boring one idea !
just remember folks what came after quo / rock punk and whos chords did they play your man here and so it continues this man and rossi are the dogs bits
When you compare his 'playing' to that of Hendrix, he is like someone who has never held a guitar - endless, mindless,, tuneless, soul-less, power-chording.
@guitarman9202 thats true i like hendrix so much, but he isnt the greatist guitarist. if you look at new sounds and bringing the guitar at e higher level than hes the best, but in technique. good, but not the best
@guitarman9202 these days a lot of "good" guitarist just use effects to make them sound better so actually u are complety wrong when u say guitarist these days are better when they arent
@covermm Still you are the one that is wrong! The "effects" doesnt make you better and if someone use these effects you can still hear if they play good or not. There are no effects making you better but of course it can "sound" better. But I still can hear if its talented or not.
That's mostly a load of BS. Yes, today the guitarists do use "effects" or rather gadgets to give them the sound that others during the 60s invented. But it doesn't improve their technique. To prolong a note into eternity by feeding it back to the pickup from the loudspeakers isn't skill, its inventive, but once invented, anyone can do it, but hardly reinvent it. Cutting the cones of the amplifier to get a distortion isn't skill, just inventive, still when invented, anyone can do it.
what sound effects does he use to get the full solid power sound? is it distortion or overdrive? (what's exactly the difference between the two?) Never experimented using effects just play it wih pure sound but doesn't sound the same so i'm trying to expand now ;)
I used to use an old Sound City 120 valve amp as did the lads before the Marshall and Vox era's put an Ibanez overdrive through the reverb in/out it sounded terrific !!! sorry guys showing my age again!!!!!
Jimmy ex Glasgow. now rocking downunda !!!
P.s.Rick best rhythm guitarist in the world bar none trust me!!!!!
hi i have this dvd and he explains that if you turn your pick slightly to the side and hit the string along with parm muting you will get a heavier sound from it, it works too!
rick has an unimitable style. I can learn the cherds and practice his their songs, but never sounds the same. Rick is the deffinitive rythm guitarrist of electric blues and booguie rock music
tubelogin1 - I don't believe there is another rhythm guitarist that gets close to Parfitt for sheer consistency. It's not easy to play to Quo despite all the cheap jibes. Many guitarists when asked to play a Quo type 12 Bar shuffle cannot hold a candle to Rick Parfitt.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah, alright, but this is ridiculous. flipping A D vamp. the guy hasn't progressed from lesson #1. nothing against Quo but treating Rick like a guitarist is a bit tall.
yeah, alright, it's Rick P. i forgot i'm critiquing a star. these guys are beyond critique i take all of my criticism back. and so if A D vamp is what Rick gives us then that's what we shall have.
thinbs up if think ricks guitar should be painted better looking and the selecter switch should be fixed
