help me pin down the origins of this guitar riff!!! →[More:]i recently rediscovered the joys and wonders of chicago's late, lamented
the jesus lizard, and while i was listening to the
goat album, something about duane denison's main guitar riff in "
then comes dudley" (it starts @ around 0:07) struck me as sounding awfully familiar, but in a different way. i seem to recall hearing an old miles davis record from the early seventies over at a friend's house, and god damn it if i didn't hear that same riff coming out of john mclaughlin's guitar (i think it was mclaughlin, anyway) at one point. it sounded like denison lifted the riff wholesale from that same record, but i'm hard-pressed to remember which one it was...
anyone else remember?
