I guess Mike Slamer would be more in the unrecognized category than the under-rated category. I couldn't figure out how to add sound bites to a post but I would love to have some of my fellow guitar nuts hear some Mike Slamer and get their impressions. His best (?) work was with CITY BOY. Just a few examples of some crazy good guitar work would be "Need A Little Lovin", "Cigarettes", or maybe "Summer In The Schoolyard". I'm sure I've spent hundreds of hours trying to come up with decent renditions of his stuff and still can't get it "right". I know it's asking lot to have you source these songs yourself but if you have a few minutes to burn and wouldn't mind indulging an old fool, I'd really like to hear some feedback. Any advice you might have on how to replicate his signature tones would be very interesting too.
