i think it was mainly the (dig this) "music" he played
with his fingertips and stringfrets that made him
famous. his tone was important ,but also the fact that
he could play honestly.
(anticipated) townshend.s various guitars ,page.s
danelectro/doubleneck ,rick nielsen.s fiveneck monster
uncledick ,steve vai and that goddamn handleguitar
(what the hell kind of look IS that anyway i ask ya).
i see that point of course ,but with all of those
there was actual music to back it up ,whereas that
seems to have been stripped away in favor of trying
out parameters and making tracks because you have gear
that makes that sound.
people like fennesz/pita/vladislav delay seem to take
a lot more care with their compositions ,treating
their plugins/processing as "instruments" which
service the "song" rather than as the "focus". (leave
me ,the ghost of davidSPADE!)
yucks and japes anywho.
