Maybe we should make our next jam thread based on a song like that. I would benefit from that myself, I run out of steam on the worship stuff at times. ;D

Oh, he forgot to mention the little 6ths thing? It's really nothing special--a Strat with WAY TOO MUCH compression, and some basic pents and a little 6ths string skipping thing.  :)

No offense, but it's amazing what passes for "killer" guitar work from person to person. That wouldn't even have perked my ear had I passed it on the radio.

Yeah, it seems like they do it kinda "sideways" lol

Like it's:

Open the flood gates of Heaven
Let it rain
Let it rain

Odd. Just a difference in timing, I guess. Of course, when you do it like that, it's the same thing as that Pocket Full Of Rocks song "More of You Jesus."

yeahm, the 6ths thing was the double stops i was referring to anyway, along with blues doubvle stops he does when he references the minor pentatonic sound. it fits the song and it's cool and all, but it's pretty basic country/blues stuff.

I was being silly lol ;) You're right, those are double stops, too. I was just dumbfounded by the previous comment, that's all.

Oh, it definitely fits the song, but it's not spectacular (not that I am, to be clear, I'm just saying...)

but hey, you gotta give it to them, it was probably the easiest song ever written. "hey, let's take this 3 line song, sing the last line first, DONE!!"

i'm sorry we didn't type in a detailed description of how every note was played.  8)

"here he we have a whole step bend from the a to the b follwed by slide into the double-stopped 6ths from a a half step below and the sliding aforementioned double-stopped 6ths down the major scale diatonically until he implies a mixolydian/dominant tonality by sliding from the double stop on the 1 to the b7.....etc)

i don't think anyone has the time or the space to be that specific....

I think this started it... lol ;) All in good fun.

But for the record, the guy didn't display any off-the-wall technique that 65% of the dudes at your Guitar Center couldn't pull off. I think that was the point.

If it sounds good to you, great, but don't get offended if someone pulls the curtain away from what appeared to be amazing to you.

If nothing else, this brings everyone closer to being able to do it themselves, rather than them keeping it at arm's length due to fear of not being able to touch it.

lol, ok.

all i said was that it wasn't anything difficult. that wasn't a judgement or an indictment, just a comment. something doesn't have to be difficult to be good, that's not what i'm implying. i just want the guys that post here to know that the stuff they hear and think is amazing is something that is attainable, and isn't that hard. so if is say it's "just pentatonics, etc", that means they can sit down with their guitar and work towards figuring it out.....it doesn't mean that i'm saying it's crap because it's simple.

some seriously defensive people around here sometimes.

some seriously defensive people around here sometimes. Really?? If that be THE TRUTH, why did you not dismiss Let It Rain as just a simple four chord progression...Im sorry if I miss your conclusive nature but you have gaps in your explanations...or could it be THIS IS A SONG YOU LIKE...(lol) just wondering???
Title: Re: WhAT song,would you like to hear
Post by: jlynnb1 on July 11, 2007, 09:51:13 AM
the only gap here is your ability to comprehend. why quote what i'm saying if your not even going to read it and try to understand??

like i said, i wasn't DISMISSING ANYTHING.......i was simply stating that it wasn't difficult, pointing out that it's something anyone could learn with a little work. the only reason this is an issue is because it's the song YOU posted. the reason i didn't mention let it rain is because it's obvious it's a 4 chord progression....and the reason everyone mentioned it is because of the Dubos solo, not the progression.

i don't understand why it offends you so much that i said the guitar part was simple. it seems like that would be encouraging to people that read that. please show me where i said anything derogatory about the song....i'd love to see it.

How silly of ME.I did not know that was Dubos,on the guitar :( Who i think is the greatest gospel guitar player of our time.Man i love that song.I have one of his Dubos cds.Man it is all that and a two bags of chips.Paul Morton,is one bad dude.Yes,it do have Prince ( i said a badd word ) >:( flavor.The solo,is somewhat low key,which is great,cause it do not take away from the song.Everybody,know that gospel music is about the WORDS,the music is just a part of it.Yea,not alot of words in the song.But,open up the flood gates of heaven,and let it rain.MAN WE NEED SOME OF THAT RAIN DOWN HERE BADDDD.

Also, and this is strictly my OPINION, but of the two versions of "Let it Rain" posted, the non-MWS version is my preference.

I know this will probably sound somewhat disrespectful and maybe even a bit racist  :o  but I have never been able to listen to MWS's voice and music for more than about 5 seconds.
It's so white, it's painful.
He's a gifted musician and writer who I'm sure is a great guy but I just have some kind of natural aversion to his voice and his performances of his songs.
When other folks cover his songs, I got no prob.  ;D

But this isn't what this thread is about, is it?  :-X

the MWS version is cool in an acoustic setting, or a more guitar driven setting. being in that minor key gives it a nice intensity sometimes.

but the other version is great too.......i did the MWS version at my old church and had a big guitar solo in it...had no idea this other one even existed....i guess the song just needs a big guitar solo, no matter which version you do.
