The Commodores – Easy
Growing Up, my Dad loved Lionel Richie and The Commodores. Their music would be played constantly throughout my youth. I remember their concert on HBO was on repeat forever in my house. Those songs would be embedded in my head forever, especially “Easy” which he would play every single Sunday morning religiously lol!
One particular Sunday, when I was 13 years old, my Dad was cranking it and he said to me, if you learn this guitar solo, I’ll buy you a Strat. Of course I took him up on his offer!!!
Played by Thomas McClary, it’s one of those iconic solos that not only serves the song, but takes it to a whole other place. Filled with attitude and swag, playing a minor Pentatonic scale over a major key, with that cheesy fuzz tone (probably from overloading the console). It’s the epitome of coolness. Simple but effective!!!
I learned the solo, played it for my Dad & got my Strat!!! Thanks to McClary, Lionel Richie & The Commodores. Their music remains a huge influence and inspiration to me to this day. It all started with this Easy guitar solo…..
