I know, she's not the mighty Michael Steele, but boy that girl is getting her groove on here.

Absolutely!  Nice sound, too.

And the ONE time the bass player has a solo, the cameraman held the shot on everyone ELSE in the band, leaving out the bass player.

Sigh.

There's a famous Dutch (well, they used to be) band with two guitar players. One is a long, blonde guy who doesn't move a lot. He does all the soloing. The other guitar player only plays rhythm, but he's a handsome half-italian boy with nice stage moves. Everytime they're on tv the camera people zoom into the italian boy, when the other one's doing a solo.

If you see the Who content, camera people only catch Entwistle in the second part of the My Generation solo. The first part's for wondering where that sound's coming from...

Sounds like the bass run in Glenn Frey's (abyssmal, but to his credit he didn't write it, Harold Faltermeyer did) "The Heat is on".

Yep, "My Generation" is our encore every night, and I get a kick from looking at the faces in the audience during my solo, 90% are looking at the lead guitarist!

what kind of pedal do you think she used for her solo?
