GMan Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Does anyone out there know of any articles written about Wally's musicianship? I think he's a killer and I love his inventive use of inversions in all of the Raspberries' music. It's a damn shame he doesn't get the recognition he truly deserves. We love ya Wally!!!!!!!

Raspbernie Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The best article (written by Ken Sharp) with lots of gear talk was in "20th Century Guitar" (October 1997)—you might be lucky and find a copy on eBay. It's worth hunting down! Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywine Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 We need to get Guitar Player mag. to do a little deal on WB. Their editorial staff needs to see the Vintage Guitar piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaAllByMyself Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have a lot of respect for Wally. He's such a nice guy and so sweet and funny, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Wally's a smokin' guitar player--I believe quite possibly the best in the business! And a fantastic person. I LOVE WALLY! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I used to have a double-neck. The problem is the balance, not so much the weight. There is a Les Paul recording bass, made in solid mahogany, that is heavier. So is the "Alluminator", the guitar that looks like Swiss Cheese that is made in Medford, OR.Most guitarists kind of take the same route--emulating blues, 50s artists, Hendrix, etc. The key to Wally's style is he takes a slightly different approach, and finding his own way. He can rock out when needed, but there are also some spots where he does some nice fills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
