RIP Wilko. Thank you for everything. You were such a unique humble man, with a playing style people can only dream of. Say hi to Lee from all of us.

How did he create something he stole from someone. This is a very old technique the thumb over with damaging on and off. Go and watch Hendrix ffs

It's not about the technique it's about his unique style of playing, and he sounds nothing like Hendrix. No one is claiming he invented the thumb over technique, as that would be a ridiculous claim.

@VodkaSelekta5 жыл бұрын
Everyone who plays has their own style and technique, it's just some have this to a greater degree than others. There are too many variables for everyone to be exactly the same. From the way you play and hit the strings, the notes you choose, the chords you choosem, the equipment/fx you use, the riffs you come up with and how you apply them (the variables are pretty much endless). Everyone has their own fingerprint, which is why you can tell who is playing in a song if you know a guitarists quirks well enough.

He played like he was firing a machine gun. He had a huge growth which was said to be inoperable but a genius surgeon saved him. Wilco was loved and will be playing in heaven with the likes of Kossoff. Love to you Wilco !!!!!!!

Love Wilko! he's absolutely right about the stratocaster being a design icon too. I'm an SG/LP kinda guy, but there's something special about the look of a strat. There have definitely been improvements in terms of ergonomics, but visually I don't think a good strat can be beaten, nor does anything else sound like one. If you ask a kid to draw an electric guitar, most of them will the shape of a strat first.

When I was a kid, I took the scratchplate off my first electric guitar, a black Squire Strat with a rosewood fingerboard, and sprayed it using a can of Ford radiant red, and the pick up covers and knobs black. I had no idea whatsoever that it was then an exact replica of this Strat, except I stuck some wood grain effect vinyl sheeting to the headstock a la George Harrison's rosewood Telecaster.
