Not trying to push a point here - just pointing out to have a wider perspective!
Quoting verbatim from what Guitar Prasanna said in http://www.raaja.com/guitarprasanna/ I have never heard a guitar even remotely out of tune in Raaja's songs for example (believe me, that's very rare in general). I have to make a special mention of Raaja's use of the electric bass guitar. I have never heard such meticulous written bass parts (its clearly written carefully), as it is in Raaja's - song after song after song Example are at! http://www.geocities.com/violinvicky/BossOfBass.html Best Ganesh --- In [email protected], "Thulasi Ram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Raghu! din expect this from u!!! any examples of that MD using an electric > guitar??? i've hardly heard his songs have any traces of guitar.. and it is > really surprising to hear that he used every possible version of guitar.. > oops!~! > > i dont know abt RDB but i think that one should agree that ARR uses ever > version of guitar or any other instrument in the best possible way it could > be handled.. > > ARR handles the sound even from a dolak in a more "professional" manner.. > that's his amazing musical trait.. > > the song that immediately strikes my mind is "kannodu kanbedhellam".. the > melam percussion was handled in a serene way and it added so much beauty to > the song.. there is only one reason for that: it is ARRs magic! > > On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 8:25 PM, arr_raghu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Illaya Raja must have used every possible version of guitar. > > > > [email protected] <arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com>, Prasad > > Varma <svspvarma@> wrote: > > > > > > I am afraid not. > > > > > > I think RDB first used it way back in 1970 in the song Gulabi Ankhen > > from The Train. > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4e3hQDsEJQ > > > > > > RDB had a trademark sound characterized by a unique rhythm and the > > bass guitar in the back ground which made most of his songs instantly > > recognizable. > > > dont have th > > > Here's another example from Yeh Vaada Raha which came out in the > > early 80s: > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svsh7ayHRak. > > > > > > Of course I also love the way ARR weaves the bass guitar around his > > melodies sometimes building the entire song around the bass loop > > itself.
