Entered... Out of interest, can anyone identify all three? I'm struggling with the Free track. It sounds strattish but doesn't have the right length of sustain.

Ah... it sounded thinner than I thought a Les Paul could, but not meaty enough to be a humbucker or P90 to me. Cheers :)

I cant be arsed listening to them as I dont have real player insatlled at the mo ,I assume it wont be Hendrix as that would be too obviou as he is associated with mainly playing strats (LP occasionally) ...Would be nice if one of us won though :D so I'm just gonna guess I think !

No point listening anyway Wolf. The quality sucks.

Just use your knowledge of guitar legends and the answer is obvious

Out of interest, the songs are:

Free - All right now
The Byrds - Hey Mr. Tambourine man
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile

<sarcasm>
Now, i wonder which it could be.........

Most will discount the obvious and guess Free, most who fancy themselves as knowledgable will guess The Byrds. Those who know, or are stupid, will get it right.

I wonder if I know or am I just stupid. :lol: Or do I have it wrong completely? :shock:

This might go even better in the current GPG thread, but goes well enough here as well. They said on the news, just last night I believe, that somewhere in Sweden they've found some previously unpublished Hendrix concert footage. Might be interesting to see. They showed a very short clip of it on the news.

So, I just thought you'd find that interesting. :D
