The resurrection of the Joe Walsh Guitar Face post was trending popular yesterday so I spent some time looking for another artist being “caught in the moment”.
Here is a great one from Prince.
If you have any “Guitar Face” photos you would like to submit for future posts, email them to DJ@GuitarDaddy.com.
Prince shows his Guitar Face
I really understand the guitar face. We see it all the time. What I find really interesting is that, just by looking at the face (without seeing his hands on the fretboard, etc.) I can tell what is being played!
For example, Prince is playing a long, sustained, vibratoed, note that is bent up at least a full step or more. His expression looks like he is singing that note.
Now, Joe Walsh has this crazy, twisted, funky look on his face. That can only mean a really cool, unexpected, twisted, dischordhal, double stop that is so funky you just love it when he resolves it into something sweet.
Guitadaddy…if you have a couple more, why don’t you post them and we can then try to see if I, or others can describe what is played based on the facial expression.
Oh yeah… I’ve got more! Coming up this week! -GuitarDaddy
