Longest Sustained Note
spe...@ibm.net
I don't know who had the longest guitar solo but the longest sustained
note
has got to be from the song "The Super-Natural" played by Peter Green on
the John Mayall and the BluesBreakers album called "A Hard Road".
He leads off with a clean sustained note that lasts 12 seconds or so.
It's got to be about the the cleanest longest sustained note in rock and
roll.
The album was originally released in 1967. I got it on a London CD
re-release
from 1987.

I heard Santana once held a note for a good half minute in a live
version of Europa once...didn't actually hear it myself but it wouldn't
surprise me. My nomination for the best note has to be "the note" from
Machine Gun on the Band of Gypsies album. If you've heard the tune then
chances are you know the one I'm talking about.... Awesome.

Naw, I heard Santana on a live version of "Europa" sustain a note for
much, much, much longer than that. My recollection is that it was at
least a minute if not more. But you know how memories get exaggerrated
thru the years.

No, I would have to say "The Super-natural" by either Gary Moore or the
orginal by Peter Green. If you haven't heard it you owe it to your self to
find it. Moore's "Blues For Greeny" would be a good place to start.

Also check out any live version of P Walkways by Gary Moore
got to be up there with longest notes.
Longest sound must be end of 1970's concert by Ted Nugent when he went
of stage for several minutes while his old Gibson fed back thriough
Showman amps. Sounded horrible but it was different.

He hits a note that goes on forever.......

Yeah, but he said that it was a CLEAN tone, I probably think that that
would mean that he didn't use any overdrive/distortion/whatsoever...
Santana probably did...

Try the guitar solo on "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult...the
solo ends with a sustained note that is held through half of the next
verse!!

Hmm..
Have you ever heard Gary Moore's "Parisienne Walkways" ???
There's a note that lasts for.. well.. one or two minutes maybe. ;-)

I first thought of that solo, also. _Three_ sustained notes during
the song. But then I was listening to Jeck Beck's solo from "The Nazz
are Blue" on The Yardbirds "Roger the Engineer". I do believe it's
longer.

Longest sustained note? How about "The Note", as we called it, after the title
track of Slayer's 'South of Heaven' CD. That's a sustained note.

I seem to remember an AC/DC cut, I think of the album that contains the
song "The Jack". I'm not an AC/DC fan by any means so I don't really
remember the song, but the note seemed to last for some 25 or so
seconds. I'm sure someone else out there remembers better than I.

Who cares for the longest sustain??? Ok, answering to this question is
much more fun than the legendary "Who's the best..who's the fastest"
:-)))....as far as I know:
The longest recorded sustain is on "Double Live Gonzo" from good ol' Ted
Nugent (btw., is he Patty Smiths newest guitar player???). The name of
the "tune" was "Habitations" (as far as I remember. My Mom kicked my Ted
Nugent Records out off the door, 15 years ago:-)). The sustained note
was nearly one LP side long:-))))))))))

There may be such a song out there, but I'm thinking of the Band
of Gypsies version of Machine Gun. The note comes immediately after Jimi
sings "You'll be goin' just the same, three times the pain, 'n your own
self to blame...."
It may not be a minute long by the clock, but it goes on forever
musically and emotionally. In my opinion, the single best note in Rock.

One of the longest sustained notes (there must be a guitar in there
somewhere) has to be the last one from A Day in the Life (Sgt.
Pepper).

I saw the Europa tour at the Fox Theater in Atlanta in the mid-late
70's? and I do not remember much from this concert other than it was
one of the best shows I have ever seen. But, I can still remember the
part of the show where that excellent rhythm is going crazy and he
holds that note for what seemed like minutes and had the entire place
throbbing and then all of a sudden breaks out of it into with that
awesome chord progression. It is driving me crazy right now because I
can hear the chords and most of the song but I cannot remember the
name of song or the words. It might be one of all Spanish songs. He
plays the song basically the same way on Europa but I think by the
time I saw the show (the album was already out) he really was going
wild with it. This is one of those albums lost and I do not have the
CD (yet). What was this song?

In George Martin's words:
I wanted that chord to last as long as possible, and I told Geoff Emerick
[the engineer] it would be up to him, not the boys, to achieve that.
What I did was to get all four Beatles and myself in the studio at three
pianos, and upright and two grands. I gave them the bunched chords that
they were to play.
Then I called out, "Ready? One, two, three -- go!" With that, CRASH!
All of us hit the chords as loud as possible. In the control room, Geoff
had his faders . . . way, way down at the moment of impact. Then, as the
sound died away, he gradually pushed the faders up, while we kept as quiet
as the proverbial church mice. In the end, they were so far up, and the
microphones so live, that you could hear the air-conditioning. It took
forty-five seconds to do, and we did it three or four times, building up
a massive sound of piano after piano after piano, all doing the same
thing.
--Martin, George. _All_You_Need_Is_Ears_
BTW, if you listen real close you can hear one of the piano benches
creak when someone (I've read it was Ringo) shifts his weight slightly.

I don't know about the longest, but the sweetest is on Jeff Beck's
"Wired" on the tune 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat'. After a string rake
towards the beginning of the tune, he lays into this one note, swells
it, and then overdrives it into resolution. It just grabs you by the
balls.
Enjoy ... Ron

At the very beginning of Hendix' solo on "Machine Gun" he sustains a note for a
long time, though I've never timed it.
By the way, is the Robin Trower from ther earlier post THE Robin Trower of
"Bride of Sighs" fame? I love that song.
George4908
A solid contender for longest sustained guitar note on record has to be Robert
Fripp, on King Crimson's "Lizard" album, the cut in question being (if I recall
properly) "Prince Rupert Awakes." A combination of a Les Paul and a Big Muff
(or equivalent) set on infinite. Those wacky art-rockers.
BadHorsie9
What about the last note from the "Don't fear the Reaper" solo, by Blue
Oyster Cult? That one lasts through the next verse, and until the
chorus. Or the High Eb from the "Limelight" solo by Rush?
George4908
There's a cut on Danny Gatton's "Unfinished Business" -- I think it's "Sky
King" if memory serves -- with a really terrific moment. He climaxes a solo by
holding this high squealing Tele note until it really sings, then as if by
magic, it morphs seamlessly into the Sax player's note, who then takes it down
into a different solo. No tricks, just great musicianship.

Same thing on the Who's "Quadrophenia", the vocal fades into a sustaining
guitar note, the guitar fades up as the vocal fades down so there's no volume
drop or rise. Incredible.

Yes. This is an effect I first heard on, of all things, Sherriff's 'When I'm with
you'. At the end, the vocalist sustains the trail-out note, and it 'morphs'
seamlessly into the guitar playing the same note in feedback. Neat. I remember
wondering how they did that.. .....Hey! I just remembered! How did I miss this...
at the end of 'Gallows pole' on LZ3, Page hits a certain note, that (this was neat
in itself) sounded a *lot* like a violin... and it morphed into a Robert Plant
vocal yowl. Maybe that's the real first example of this sort of thing. Anyone got
an earlier one? LZ3 was, what, 1971?

Hey, there's the new John McLaughlin album where the entire album John's
midi guitar and electric guitar are fading in and out with each other and
the saxaphone and the flute and even the bass sometimes. McLaughlin is a
great guitarist and jazz composer. Check him out.

The youtube version does not have a sustained guitar note at the end.
There's a lot of keyboard to a fade. The guitar is playing behind the
