I used to know Whiter Shade of Pale. I'll have to re-learn it, but when I do I'll make a tab. I love that song.

Music should be a bout freedom of expression not units.............

Vic

Ps when you mentioned classical rock and deep purple, couple of earlier examples - "Wheels on Fire" by Brian Auger/Julie Driscoll and Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum.]]> Easy Songs Vic Lewis VL https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-60089 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-60073 Sun, 02 May 2004 20:41:21 +0000
No, the big difference is that at that particular time, musicians were allowed far more liberty and control over their music. Musicians were allowed to go into the studio and do pretty much whatever they felt like.

Today, there is too much control by the record companies. As soon as somebody comes out with something fresh, in no time you will hear 50 groups playing the same style. Record companies today go by trends.

In the late 60's you had Psychedelic music like Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane and Pink Floyd, Latin music by Santana, Folk rock by Buffalo Springfield, and Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Swamp music from CCR, Country rock from the Allman Brothers, Eagles. You had the beginnings of Classical rock from Deep Purple, Heavy Metal from Black Sabbath, Jazz fusion from groups like Steely Dan.........

You name it, it was being tried. And all at the same time. That is the big difference.

FM radio was fantastic. DJ's would play whatever they wanted. They would play entire albums. The only thing close today is College radio.

If ever the record companies would get smart and allow musicians this liberty again, you would hear GREAT music again.]]> Easy Songs Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-60073 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-60000 Sat, 01 May 2004 16:03:54 +0000 Easy Songs Vic Lewis VL https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-60000 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-59997 Sat, 01 May 2004 13:40:15 +0000 Easy Songs Pup https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-59997 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-59986 Sat, 01 May 2004 08:38:07 +0000 Easy Songs Vic Lewis VL https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-59986 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/link-wray-rumble/#post-59981 Sat, 01 May 2004 07:20:44 +0000

That is a great song. Good tab too. This is a great song for those starting out. Plenty of time to change chords, but also to develop a sense of time for the sustained chords. Still rocks after almost 50 years.

Great job. 8)
