Title: Guitar on "I Used to Could"
Post by: TJ on September 19, 2012, 05:37:13 PM: I could be wrong, but is Richard playing lead on this song? The solos don't really sound like Mark, to me. I have the same feeling about "You Can't Beat the House". Can anyone tell for sure?

yes funny beacuse I thought the same at first listen for these 2 songs

sometimes it sounds Marks, sometimes it could be Richard

I think it's sometimes difficult to say for sure who is playing what (my holy grail ;D)

I think that most of fans would have bet it was Mark on lead on summer of love if there wouldn't have been any video avalaible

Most thinks that it's Mark on lead on sucker row, but Chuck Ainlay listed only Mark on acoustic and Richard on sig strat, so ?...

I would love to know FOR SURE these kinds of info ;D

can't hear another electric guitar on sucker row, and why Chuck Ainlay would have omitted this guitar ?

Post by: TJ on September 20, 2012, 07:25:17 PM: I have no doubt that's Mark on Sucker Row. On Used to Could and Beat the House, the tone and style just doesn't really sound like Mark. Really the rhythm part sounds more like Mark to me. But if y'all say it's him, I'll take your word for it.
