F.B.I. and Wonderful Land

he is a master - very underrated.

Bruce? Under-rated? He's very highly rated, surely!

I once went to a talk entitled "The Lost Art of Rhythm Guitar" given by a singer-guitarist called Bryn Haworth, who operates in Christian music circles. It was fascinating, he knew his stuff and demonstrated loads of techniques. And I was delighted to hear him often refer to Bruce and praise him in the highest possible terms...

In the same way that Jet was the archetypal bass player in England at the time...... so was Bruce the rhythm player.
They started it all off and set the format.

About 10-15 years ago, Guitarist magazine's staff voted Bruce number one in a poll of the world's greatest rhythm guitarists.

Hi,
I watched the video and had to smile when I saw Hank fumbling many times for his trem-arm. I`m glad that he got used to keep it steady in his hand whilst playing- and most of us try to follow his manner to do it.
So we can see even Hank made progress from his early years to now.

Since Hank doesn't always hold the tremolo bar here, all he has time for is one quick dip of the bar. I tried this (just one dip) in place of the multiple up-and-down tremolo movements I have been doing, and to my ears my FBI now sounds closer to the original. Or so I think. If that is the way FBI should be played, of course I should have known it before, without the video, but I need to be shown these things. Anyway, that was a good video, new to me. Many thanks.

The most important message to all the HBM wannabees out there is that on the live video Mank 'fluffs it' now and again. He is, after all only human.

[Iain Purdon]

Mank? Oh, you fluffed it!

Very manky playing !
