Yaaaawn…. Really? Jesus Christ was black!?
Wow. That’s uninteresting!
So let us study the Guitar Solo for the opening track off Def Leopard’s classic album Hysteria.
WOMEN
Which in my opinion is a highly under rated track. Awesome track. I would have bought the album book for Def Leppard, Hysteria but it’s out of print. I bought “The Best” Of because it has most of the album (Hysteria) but also a selection from their other albums, which is great. some of the best songs on Hysteria end up left out but it’s a good collection of music none the less. Women is one of the better on that album IMO. Some of you might say “well, good for you… A tribute to Women…” and yeah, of course, but for me it isn’t so much about the lyrics and the meaning of the song as it is the music, the tone, the sound. Sonically. Awesome, and Def Leppard guitar misoc is good for a whammy bar noob such as myself who wants to use it.
So I’m looking at the 0:46 mark of this video, the 4th bar of the Guitar Solo. It’s the fast moving train sound which is a trick done with the bar, the Floyd Rose. You drop the bar slowly, gradually, consistently while sounding the alternating notes. But how? If you are dropping the bar gradually, slowly, consistently with the right hand, how can you pick the notes at the same time and have it sound right? If you pluck the strings while dropping the bar, no matter how good you are, there will be warble. The tone will faulter every time you move your hand to hit the string. It can’t be done. So how?
I think the bar is dropped with the right hand, no playing of the strings with that hand, drop the bar and those notes are hammer-ons with the left hand. A hammer-on is when you sound the note by hammering the fret note down with the fret hand finger.
