about

Title: 12 strings on Carnaby St. Impact: The Yardbirds, Brit Pop
Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page both were veterans of the Yardbirds, so this was a natural influence for me. The Yardbirds did some slightly off the wall stuff, notably the middle section of "Little Games" which freaked me out when I heard it. It sounded like a cello playing with a distorted guitar. When the solo took off over that middle riff, it hit me hard. So, there's a line in this track played on a more distorted guitar that is like that solo part, by the way. The track that I've done also has the electric 12 string playing the sort of role that I always loved about some of the Brit Pop bands such as the Hollies. The 12 string plays some simple melody lines to contrast the more midrangy electric stuff. The chorus is very pop, and maybe with the string bends might have a little country influence to some, but it reminds me in some way of the upbeat Brit pop sound. The end fades out with flanging, like the really cool middle of "Itchycoo Park".
