@8th-note: Agreed, I have the Tom Dowd video on DVD. While his recorded sound quality isn’t in the top tier, he worked with producer Jerry Wexler on some of my favorite albums. They include all the recordings the two made in Muscle Shoals for Atlantic Records (Wexler was the in-house producer for the label)---Aretha, Wilson Pickett, Dusty Springfield, Otis Redding, as well as the Derek & The Dominos album. Dowd had earlier been the recording engineer on a great many early R & B hits of the 50’s and 60’s, artists like Ray Charles and a lot of the vocal R & B groups. And as if that isn’t enough, he recorded some of the Jazz greats like Coltrane, Monk, and Charlie Parker.

Having tried to copy it in the 60's I've always found the opening chord to The Beatles "A Hard Day's Night" fascinating. The following video sounds about right, but not certain if it's 100%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP6daMR7Dps

Studying with Martino was amazing. We scheduled the lesson for one hour but usually ran it to two. He was very interesting to listen and ask questions of. I taped all our lessons. I went 9 times. In 2017 he played in Denver (where I live) and I went up to him after the show. I was amazed he remembered me. What a lovely soul. A deep soul. RIP. |
