Always been curious about who the guitar player is on the ESPN W.S.O.P. Theme music? Anyone know who it is? Very distictive sound. Thanks in advance. [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I'm guessing it's the same guy who did Sam's theme from "Clarissa explains it all"

What's distinct about it? Seems like a slide on a standard acoustic guitar...possibly a dobro. It's very short (6 notes and a slide IIRC), no electronic effects.

That takes me back. Great comparison.

[/ QUOTE ] I counted seven before the slide (not to nitpick), but I'm almost positive it's a dobro - anybody with a pair of trained ears care to weigh in on this? In any event, it seems like something that any decent studio musician could do. |

I haven't really watched the WSOP very much...you are probably right about the number of notes. I just tried to hum the melody to myself.
I'm almost certain it's a dobro now that I think about it. Sounds very similar to the guitar Clapton used for Unplugged...although I'm not sure what the model of that was off the top of my head. |

[/ QUOTE ] Ah ok - I just played a video file of one of the circuit events to count the number of notes, but I don't have a trained ear, so I'm not positive about these sorts of things. I don't know what model it might have been, but I was under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that "dobro" is synonymous with "steel guitar", or maybe it's just a particular brand of steel guitar? In any event, I'm almost positive it's a steel guitar [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

There's a metal resonator around the sound hole...played almost exclusively with slide. The only real song that comes to mind that's played without a slide for the most part is "Burden in my Hand" by Soundgarden. I'm sure there are plenty others and I have no idea why that one jumped into my head, but file it under FWIW.
