Lead guitar solos
Wow I can not get over how well Mona and Lisa do guitar solo’s. Listen to She’s a Woman from the live album, man does Mona tear it up or what? And Lisa comes in at the end for a bit of a guitar war with Mona. And how about Kansas City? Lisa is awesome with her lead guitar work. But love how they support each other on lead vocals and lead guitar solo’s. How about you all? You agree and what song sticks out in your mind?

Are there videos of She’s a woman,
or can you tell what’s what in stereo?
Thanks -
Bill the guitar work is great in She’s a Woman. There is that rhythm guitar part that I presume is Mona and then the lead guitar sounds coming in and out. Very superb. All three songs that start out the 2nd set have great guitar runs, Taxman – You Really Got Me – She’s A Woman. I like the guitar sounds in Hey Bulldog and My Generation too. Mona and Lisa both jam out pretty hard with the Ricky and Gretsch. There are certainly great guitar runs in all the live songs. For What It’s Worth really stand out.

Is that another way to distinguish guitars – the guitar sound based on manufacturer … gretsch, rickenbacker, telecaster etc? I am really in the dark here.

Hi Thomas. It’s more by deduction than manufacturer sound. Lead guitar parts in MLTs live performances will pretty much always be the Gretsch Duo Jet as that is predominantly what Lisa uses on stage, but not always. The rhythmic guitar sounds can be Mona’s Rickebacker, but Mona uses her acoustics on stage often too, so just from listening can’t be as certain.

OK. I here some lead guitar in the left speaker on She’s a Woman.
It has definitely been mostly lead in the right speaker and rithm in the right speaker,
just like they appear on stage. -
The lead guitars on My Generation, For What it’s Worth, and Revolution, really stand out for me! Lisa is turning into a real dynamo on the guitar! And Mona’s work on You Can’t Do That is so much fun to listen to! There are no clunkers on the Live CD!

Thomas,
Yes on my car system and my head set, I hear Mona in the left speaker and Lisa in the right speaker. And on She’s a woman, you hear Lisa say ….Go Mona right before she does the solo. And the end of that song is awesome with both Lisa and Mona going back and forth with leads. I am so impressed with these ladies, they can rock. I put them up against anyone in my book!!! -
Thanks, Bill.
That helps a lot.
The two electric guitars definitely have a different tone.
So is that a Rickenbacker playing lead lines on She’s a Woman like Jung says?
I am just wondering. -
Yes Mona’s Ricenbaucker is the lead on She’s a woman, and You Can’t do that. Sorry for the spelling…LOL…But with my experence with guitar’s and talkig to a friend of mine on guitar’s , they vary in the manufacuring and styles of music. The birds and the beatles used Rickenbaucers etc for that twang sound if you will and Lisa’s Gretch is a bit deeper in a way. i know Mike Nesmith of the Monkees had a 12 string Gretch or still has it and the sound fits the style. But again both Mona and Lisa are so awesome with their style of guitar playing, it is so cool to listen to and you know it comes from their heart and soul when you hear them play, not just hitting notes of strings, these ladies have it going on for sure and you can tell when you hear them play. Revolution, For What’s it worth, The Last Time, Club 27, Johnny B Goode, man I could go on forever and they can rock and they can be mellow just as well, which tells me we are all on the journey with them for some time to come!! Stay Groovy Mona and Lisa we are all with you on this journey.

Looking forward to a long ride.

Also need to add the lead work on their original music. This Boy is mine, June, When were together, Club 27 ( off the chart playing) One more Time, etc…shows you that the talent they have is not just covers, when you can match that quality with original music? You are in a special class in my book and not to many people are in that class. One that I feel is in is Elvis. He did covers and original music that kept him above the rest. I know this will be a topic and I understand that , it is what one likes and loves . But we can agree that Mona and Lisa are very special and talented and for us to be on this journey with them is awesome to me in this lock down world we are all living in at the moment.
