      His guitar says "enough" and never too much. His songs have pace but aren't a cacophony. And finally, he knows a catchy chilled song when he sees one; why would so many artists as diverse as Eric Clapton and Lynyrd Skynyrd do his songs?

    This is a great example of self awareness. Cale understood how he played and developed a style that allowed him to express himself. On one hand you might say that his technique was limited. But his sense of rhythm, dynamics and the ability to choose the correct notes to play is to me much more important than the ability to play at dazzling speed especially if it does not serve the music. A great artist can produce a drawing with a pencil or a palette of oils. What makes the difference is in how you use your gifts.

    • @bsnf-5
      @bsnf-5 3 года назад +5

      Yes. And to be fair, JJ Cale lead parts are not that simple at all. I analyze many of his guitar solos (from live concerts and from studio albums), and I came to conclusion that he actually uses quite a lot of scales. Apart from mixing major and minor pentatonic scales, he also often goes into mixolydian and dorian mode. He uses chromatic runs, and very tasty licks derived from blues scale. He sometimes even opts for more jazzy notes, I'm not sure exactly if he was aware of ALL jazz music theory, or if he was just improvising and using his ears... but regardless of that, he really had a very wide vocabulary, at least when improvising on the guitar (we also know he played other instruments, like bass guitar, drums, or even piano).
      I think most of the time he really uses pentatonic, and aeolian mode, and the ionian mode of course. Apart from that, like I said chromatic, and blue notes.
      I think that, perhaps, the best illustration of his playing would be the solo in the song "Danger", from "the road to Escondido"... an album that he recorded in collaboration with E.C., in 2006 I think.

    • @jimbonacum8917
      @jimbonacum8917 Год назад

      @@jensvinthernrgaard1131 I think you missed my point. Technique is only important when it enables you to express your ideas. Depending on the ideas you want to express you may require incredible dexterity or an encyclopedic understanding of scales and theory. Or maybe you can say what you want with a single note. My point was that many guitarists try to play as fast as they can, or change from one mode to another but in the end very few can communicate as effectively as Cale does. Complexity is neither good nor bad. Consider that the blues is based on 3 chords and a five note scale. While this may seem limited guitarists still find new ways to play it.

      Cale recorded "Cocaine" on his fourth album, Troubadour, released in 1976, and issued the song as the B-side of his single "Hey Baby".
      When J.J. Cale wrote this song, he envisioned it as a jazz number. His producer, Audie Ashworth, convinced him to make it a rocker, which required some overdubbing by Cale, since he played very simple guitar parts. Clapton's version has a much more complex guitar line and vocals that are more prominent in the mix. 2:17 [Songfacts]

      The nice thing about J.J. Cale’s ”Cocaine” is that the lyrics are so strongly secondary to the sound of the song that their fractured linearity becomes an asset. If you want it to be an anti-drug song for you, it can be that. (Song Review by Richard Gilliam) 4:09 [AllMusic]

In 1974 I saw them at an outdoor fairgrounds concert, huge crowd with beer & grass all around. Then I got it. By that time, Eric C had already snuck into Tulsa & played with local musicians in some underground bar downtown. I lived far south & never got the invite to see anything downtown. Damn! Anyway, I think the old grey piano player is Rocky, I knew him years ago when my 1st x-wife introduced us.
