Lockdown Licks no. 308. “Mess of Blues” Status Quo style.
Lead solo played on an HB35+ guitar in mid pu position with the bridge pick up on ‘single coil’ setting, neck pu standard humbucker into a NUX M8 amp on superlead with gain quite low. I know Francis Rossi’s original was on a Telecaster. The HB was closest when I fancied doing the riff.
The song is from Back to Back, the sixteenth studio album by English rock band Status Quo and released in November 1983. For the first time in the group’s history, it featured four singles including”Ol’ Rag Blues”highest Chart position No. 9 & “A Mess of Blues” No.15 , which was originally a hit for Elvis Presley.
