Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

Do you remember the "Evangeline Made" CD? There is a guitar solo by John Fogerty in Diggy Liggy Lo.

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

I see guitar solo's every time dad and I play together.

You mean video or audio?

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

Audio. I'm not wanting the guitarist to copy someone else. I'm wanting to get a feel for what can be done, and still work, and not cramp anyone's style.

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

I have a couple of dad and I playing that I'll send you with him taking lead.

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

ok. Thanks.

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

Hey Bryan,

I will be very glad if you can send me audio/video of your stuff with a guitar, I need to have some examples...I imagine country picking style should be use to play cajun acoustic guitar solo?

thank you,

Greg

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

Sam Broussard plays some killer solos.

And Sonny Landreth is a God on slide guitar.
(He's played on some of the Mamou Playboys CD's too.)

Perhaps your guitar player could look to some country
or bluegrass bands for appropriate inspiration?

Just some toughts ..

I missed Steve Riley's gig here last week. I heard it was phenomenal. And heard a recording of some of Sam's playing. Yezu christ almighty!

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

Here's just a few.

Milton Adams, Midnight Playboy Special, http://www.npmusic.org/Milton_Adams_Midnight_Playboy_Special.mp3

Austin Pitre, Poor Hobo (the Swallow CD)

Alphee and Shirley Bergeron, Madame Bosso.

Nathan Abshire, Popcorn Blues, on Flyright cd.

Check your Harrison Fontenot recordings if you have any.

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

Great, thanks Neal.

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

I got 2 or 3 songs, just can't figure out where they are. The Harrison Fontenot songs have some real good guitar leads.

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

surprisingly, I have none of these in my collection. I thought I had all the Austin Pitre and Nathan Abshire and Shirley Bergeron cd's there were.

I have nothing by Harrison Fontenot.

Re: Need examples of guitar solos in cajun music

Dwight, send me an email, I don't have your's anymore.

anything by sam broussard [current]
or [the late] jimmy domengeaux
