You didn't want to laugh at Wolf, he was a big sucka.

Our band does a pretty similar (hyper, maybe) treatment of Wolf's
"Shake for Me"
-I'm hearing a lot of the same guitar solo tidbits too. These guys grooved!

Edit- assuming this is Hubert Sumlin? I want his guitar and amp!

Does anyone know what electric guitar is that ? Lot of switches on it.

All I can think, is maybe by one of those Italian brands that made accordions- cool plastic & lots of switches, Ha!

from the comments on youtube,
it is a Bartolini 20V or a Alvaro Bartolini V4

Also could be EKO, teisco, Dega Morbidoni (makes morbid sounds funny, i love it).

So you were right, italian guitar, probably the V4 model.

I never get tired of The Wolf.

And Hubert Sumlin was something else-listen to him release a bend while shaking the string at 1:20.



Peter Green copied this move during a live performance of Sugar Mama. Peter knew just where to steal from!
