What’s your favorite J solo from the studio albums?

Today it’s Raisins. Yes I believe it will be Raisins today.

P.S ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS SAID IN THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN WHAT SOUNDS LIKE TWO GIRLS DURING THE STEADY DRUMMING AND LIGHT NOTE RIFFS IN RAISINS.

[K7 Rides Again]

[umascow]

[THE BOSS]

Favorite solos are:

drawerings
just like heaven (its the super-fuzz)
out there
the lung

[ham steak]

Lung and that "wha-a-uh" honk thingy in In a Jar are always pretty neat to hear.

I’ve always liked the one on Thumb the best. It’s a very sad sounding solo and always gives me chillbumps.

It’s funny because Thumb is probably one of J’s simplest songs – it’s pretty much just two chords – but the solo has a really unique sound because it’s in like a different mode than what you would expect. From a my guitar geek’s perspective, the song is in D and C but in the solo he seems to switch into like a G major scale. It’s almost more like a jazz thing. Very cool.

Maybe some bigger guitar geek out there can tell me what you call the mode that solo is played in. Like mixolydian or something like that… J’s got lots of different modes!

It’s still the feel and the emotion of the solo that really makes it good, so I should just shut up about analyzing it.

hmmm… maybe I should be posting this stuff over in the guitar forum.

Start Choppin – for recorded stuff

Ammaring (Live) – if you get a chance to see it. If anyone got to see J play it acoustic I think you would agree that it rocks.

[AGAP]

Definitely agree with you about Ammaring live, just awhile ago HOB broadcast a live J Mascis/Fog show…that solo in Ammaring killed me. Actually it kills me every single time I hear it, live or on disc!!!

The outro to Pointless on Dinosaur would have to be my favourite.

[ovaldisc]

I don’t think and The Lung. really brightens those songs up

[Elbit]

i ain’t sayin’ is one of my favorites. its like a national anthem my friend said.

[jimtownresident]

Nobody else likes No Bones?

Totally the best. The way the last sustained note feeds back an octave higher…awww man.

[Demon Bunny]

I could go on & on with this topic I really think Hand it over was a underated album Ive been listening to it constantly lately Alone & Cant we move this along are so fucking good as well as I’m insane & never bought it & I dont think is so killer as well.2 others that are all time favorite by dino & are the the most moving to me will always be Out there & I live for that look! But who am I kidding this list will go on forever… J is the man! No one like him & never will be

[spacegoo]

I would definetly have to say "start choppin"
