I think the Kinks started that.Damn fools who try to make it socially acceptable to use a pick on a bass! Damn you all to hell.
No, no, no! Despite the claims of musical instrument manufacturers, the bass is not, and never will be a guitar. Damn fools who try to make it socially acceptable to use a pick on a bass! Damn you all to hell.
It's a bass, dammit. Completely different animals. The guitar is a pterodactyl, and the bass is anything that eats everything.
the best and baddest guitarplayer... only five strings on his Telecaster
Georges Brassens? I am surprised to read this here, but still impressed. With Brel, Brassens was one of the best french lyricist (poet) for sure. His guitar style was very odd, since he learned to play, only to accompany himself. His rhythms are continuously changing to fit the line.
Some wiki stuff below, but quite accurate. He was my introduction to poetry and resistance.
