Hey, it is almost the same solo as in the intro of Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment.
This kind of things allways lead me think in a strange way.....
Like the solo’s shapes in Neverending love.... Small talk, Fingertips, Church of your heart and a few more songs... they’re almost all the same.
Anyway I take it as a trademark.

Or it’s just his style...or maybe he only knows 2 improvisation schemes, but i odnt beliveave thats the case ;)
Ferdan said on January 31, 2003 19:09:
But I don’t think Per is the responsible for that... the only demo i have of those songs is the Neverending Love one.... and the solo/interlude is not like in the record. I have the feeling it is a Clarence thing.
But not in GGST and ON..... that’s a Per thing :))) (MP actually)

oh so this solo is not by MP??.
then i bet the reason is that Per felt proud of that solo.... now i get why he used it in 2 songs :P

The single paper sleeve said it was by Per Gessle and... I think Clarence Öfwerman :O
Galning said on February 2, 2003 14:49:
As I can see it, it is NOT the same solo than in shock treatment... it´s just the same kind of solo-playing....
Santi said on February 3, 2003 10:35:
What do you think Clarence does in the solo? :o
Maybe Per played it and Clarence accelerated it electronically! :DDDDD

Well, if they ever played it live, we will all be watching Per :) I’m hoping too he plays the solo on the videoclip.
Santi said on February 3, 2003 14:02:
If they ever play it live it will be Jonas playing it and Per faking he plays it :D
100% sure! :p
Galning said on February 3, 2003 18:05:
In det är över nu Per also played the guitar solo in the studio. But live it was played by MP. So in NOX Jonas would maybe play it...
BUT NOTE: Per plays often very simple guitarparts live and sometimes so silent that noone hears it. BUT he never faked to play something live! Sometimes he plays the same solo like Jonas (in hotblooded or the look) but Jonas is much louder...

Hi
Is there anyone that knows the tabs to this solo ? Maybe Jonas Isacsson is around ?
Thanks
All the best

Hmm, Is it only me? Or is this solo actually not very impressing or hard to play,, I’ve played guitar like 2 years and believe I can handle it,, Per has played for like 25 years....
Galning said on February 3, 2003 21:44:
Hello PerAndren, maybe you remember me from older TDR times... yeah, I think it´s very very easy to play... nothing special in it... it always like that - when it sounds very difficult than it is very easy... you know... and when it sounds easy and ESPECIALLY when the solo is slowly it is very hard to play to “make it sound like something”

Per is copying himself :P
