Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: Who played the slide guitar on the classic Eric Clapton hit Layla? A: Duane Allman! Both Slau and Mark Rufino had some valuable follow up to this. They referred to a documentary on Tom Dowd called Tom Dowd: The Language Of Music. It's an absolutely fascinating glimpse into the life of a talented and influential engineer and producer. One of the interesting things in the movie is where he plays the original multitrack master from the Layla session and he solos Dunae's slide and the piano. It's so exciting to hear the raw material out of context. Slau and Mark both say. "If you haven't seen this, run (don't walk) to the store and pick up a copy." Better yet, just click here to get one online! This week's winner is Jeremy North. Congratulations Jeremy, you're taking home a copy of Guitar and Drum Trainer courtesy of Ryan Smith over at GuitarAndDrumTrainer.com. Honorable Mention goes out to Randy Gilkey, Slau, Mark Rufino, Shane Ward, Jonathan Diener, Jim Farley, Tom Drake, Joao Alves, Mike Schettler and Rich Palmer. Way to go guys! See you next week!
