And So What I Say-You Have Got To Score aA Hit...eh?..how so?

In this day and age it is all about the bass.All of the fancy guitar work has already been done by Jimmy Page And Jimi Hendrix,you cannot take it any further than that..you can duplicate it yes, but the point now is to be more controlled,soulful,and dynamic.And not a copy of anyhing,just some oh so sweet licks.I hit upon this playing my guitar parts for "Blackstar" I was flown in a lear jet to miami to record at Criteria studios in Miami.In my seat was a 1957 fender telecastor esquire wiht a note saying "use this one!" And as it all turned out this was Roy Buchanan's Telecastor.I didn't know it at the time,and had my les paul with me yet I did the session on Roy's Telecastor."Blackstar" had a very solid producer and they never were to realize how advanced he was.Rick Thomas is his name and so I did what he requested and played the blues on Roy's esquire.And I love it and am proud to have been a part if it,with his Tele singing out.I just left the guitar at the studio and am sure it got back to him.And I cut the cat's ass on guitar,listen to "Make It right" and you will surely understand.
