378-655: A band with two guitars, there can be a logical division between lead and rhythm guitars, although that division may be unclear. Two guitarists may perform as a guitar tandem, and trade off the lead guitar and rhythm guitar roles. Alternatively, two or more guitarists can share the lead and rhythm roles throughout the show, or both guitarists can play the same role ("dual lead guitars" or "dual rhythm guitars"). Often several guitarists playing individual notes may create chord patterns while mixing these "harmonies" with mixed unison passages creating unique sound effects with sound altering electronic special effects such as doublers or

The band's 1993 release, Walk Outside

1827-581: The Swing era, many soloists improvised "by ear" by embellishing the melody with ornaments and passing notes. However, during the bebop era, the rapid tempo and complicated chord progressions made it increasingly harder to play "by ear". Along with other improvisers, such as saxes and piano players, bebop-era jazz guitarists began to improvise over the chord changes using scales (whole tone scale, chromatic scale, etc.) and arpeggios. Jazz guitar players tend to improvise around chord/scale relationships, rather than reworking

2142-427: The first blues musician to record with an electric guitar and would greatly influence such greats as Muddy Waters and Elmore James . Through the 1940s Merle Travis would greatly develop the fingerpicking techniques pioneered by guitarists like Maybelle and McGee, and develop a style of his own based upon the thumb solely providing the bass line, and the index finger solely providing the melody. This style would be

2205-595: The foundation for many future guitarists including Chet Atkins , Scotty Moore , Doc Watson , and Earl Hooker , though many used two fingers rather than just the index as Travis had done. To create lead guitar lines, guitarists use scales , modes , arpeggios , licks , and riffs that are performed using a variety of techniques. In rock, heavy metal, blues, jazz and fusion bands and some pop contexts as well as others, lead guitar lines often employ alternate picking , sweep picking , economy picking and legato (e.g., hammer ons , pull offs ), which are used to maximize

2268-524: The guitar at a certain distance and angle from the amplifier speakers, a guitarist can create a continuous, undecaying sound. Electronic special effects that use effects loops can artificially reproduce this. Other effects that embellish lead guitar tone and pitch include the vibrato bar which physically alters string tension, slides , and wah-wah and univibe effects. Elvin Bishop Elvin Richard Bishop (born October 21, 1942)

2331-529: The jazz guitar style is the use of stylistically appropriate ornaments, such as grace notes, slides, and muted notes. Each subgenre or era of jazz has different ornaments that are part of the style of that subgenre or era.

2457-573: The later 19th century, Steel Strings began to appear, particularly by Martin Guitars , and by the 1880s the Piedmont Blues style was emerging in the rural south. The Piedmont guitar style would become a heavy influence on Ragtime music, which in turn would influence emerging blues styles in the early 20th century. Through the 1910s, blues guitarists including Willie Brown and Charley Patton began pioneering slide guitar techniques, which would become

2520-482: The latter playing with thumb and metal finger picks on a Twelve-string guitar to better replicate the sound of the piano . Piedmont and ragtime guitar styles also provided a foundation for early Country Music guitar styles with such musicians as Maybelle Carter , Sam McGee , Bayless Rose , Frank Hutchison heavily developing these styles. Through the 1920s, the emergence of early jazz and swing guitar styles appear with virtuosos Eddie Lang and Lonnie Johnson ,

2583-600: The latter with a heavy blues influence. Lang used a plectrum pick while Johnson played with both finger picks and a plectrum. Later Django Reinhardt would rise to prominence, playing in the Gypsy Jazz style. These guitarists are still often considered the greatest innovators of their styles.

2646-401: The melody, possibly due to their familiarity with chords resulting from their comping role. A source of melodic ideas for improvisation is transcribing improvised solos from recordings. This provides jazz guitarists with a source of "licks", melodic phrases and ideas they incorporate either intact or in variations, and is an established way of learning from the previous generations of players In

2709-519: The movie The Family Stone . Jeff Garlin's character plays this song during a scene in the Netflix comedy, Handsome . The song was also featured in a memorable scene in the movie Boogie Nights , at Jack's pool party early in the film, and was featured on the second volume of the movie soundtrack, Boogie Nights 2: More Music from the Original Motion Picture . "Fooled Around and Fell in Love"

2772-549: The new line-up adopted the name "Marshall Tucker Band". Wet Willie lead singer Jimmy Hall told Toy Caldwell to book the band at Grant's Lounge in Macon, Georgia , which he did.

2835-430: The piano tuner, had tuned a piano in that rented space before the band and his name was inscribed on the key. Music historian Joel Whitburn erroneously attributes "Marshall Tucker" to the owner of the band's rehearsal hall in his book Top Pop Singles, 1955-2002 . The piano tuner "Marshall Tucker" died on January 20, 2023, at the age of 99. At the time it was reported that he supported the band’s use of his name and that he

2898-654: The rest of the original band members split in June 1984, except for Doug Gray and Jerry Eubanks. During the summer of 1984, MTB toured with a revamped lineup featuring Gray, Eubanks, Spartanburg guitarist Rusty Milner and new Nashville players: Bob Wray (bass), James Stroud (drums), Kenny Mims (guitar) and Bobby Ogdin (keyboards). But in 1985, Wray, Stroud and Mims were replaced respectively by session veteran Tom Robb (from Leslie West 's Wild West Show), Stuart Swanlund (guitars, slide guitar, pedal steel guitar, vocals) and David "Ace" Allen (drums). In 1988 Gray and Eubanks released

2961-425: The sense of natural breathing and legato phrasing used by horn players such as saxophone players. As well, a jazz guitarist's solo improvisations have to have a rhythmic drive and "timefeel" that creates a sense of " swing " and "groove". The most experienced jazz guitarists learn to play with different "timefeels" such as playing "ahead of the beat" or "behind the beat", to create or release tension. Another aspect of

3024-416: The speed of their solos or riffs. Such "tricks" can employ the picking hand used in the fret area (such as tapping ), and even be augmented and embellished with devices such as bows , or separate electronic devices such as an EBow (electronic bow). Some guitarists occasionally use skills that combine technique and showmanship, such as playing the guitar behind their head or picking with the front teeth. In

3087-421: The way amplifying tubes distort when pushed to the limits of their amplification power. As the guitar signal's waveform reaches the amplifier's limits, amplification decreases—rounding off the top of the waveform. This amounts to compression of individual wave cycles, and is pleasing to the ear. High volume can induce audio feedback , which a guitarist can control to dramatically increase sustain. By holding

3150-601: Was "proud of them as long as they were good boys and played good music". The original members (and some later members) of the Marshall Tucker Band had been playing in various line-ups under different band names around the Spartanburg area since the early 1960s. In 1966 members of several such bands merged to form the Toy Factory, named after guitarist Toy Caldwell.

3339-541: Was categorized by "flashy, jazzy licks"; the band has also been noted for extensive jamming . Remembering the early years in 2012, Doug Gray describes the band as being like ''a bowl of soup like your mom would cook. Whatever was in the refrigerator was all thrown in there, and however it tasted was what it was.''

3591-434: Was one of the first guitarists to perform in a " shred " style, a technique later used in rock and heavy metal playing. Di Meola used alternate-picking to perform very rapid sequences of notes in his solos.
