Where did they shoot the video of music video? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.17.213 ( talk) 02:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
At the very beginning of Soul Bossa Nova, some kind of instrument is used to produce an odd sound. The only way I can think of to describe it is as kind of a semi-melodic "gasping". What the heck instrument is that? Dgcopter ( talk) 17:08, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
I don't know too much about playing instruments, and am curious about the guitar solo in Rod Stewart's 19070s version of I Don't Want to Talk About It.
It sounds interesting and odd to me. Is it two guitars playing simultaneously, two track recordings overlaid or one guitar with a funny effect? Or something else? -- Dweller ( talk) 22:08, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
I wonder if you're talking about the guitar solo or the acoustic guitar picking throughout the song. The electric guitar solo (about 3 minutes in) is not double tracked. It's a single guitar, perhaps thickened a bit of delay as guitar solos often are, and using a lot of double stops, that is, moments when two notes are played on two strings. The double stop is a staple of slow, bluesy rock guitar solos, though you don't hear it as much anymore, since the average guitar player on rock radio today doesn't have the chops that the previous generation did. If you're talking about the acoustic guitar, it's two guitars panned far to the right and left, and using a capo to give it a high, thin sound. The two guitars and the capo give it a distinctive "chimey" sound. It may even be one acoustic guitar panned to one side, and a chorus effect panned to the other, as is sometimes done. And then there's a sax solo near the end, but I'm sure you're not talking about that! — Kevin Myers 21:50, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
