Music Question

[George7941]

What is the very first instrument you hear in Heart's Magic Man? A Electric guitar?
I know very little about music.

 

[JohnnyG]

I'd say yes.

That sir, is a guitar. From what i remember it was played differently live than when recorded.

 

[Hall]

Electric guitar?

Yes. There are tons of (sound) effects you can apply to a guitar's sound. In this case, the guitar player plays similar licks (notes) throughout the song.

Off-topic, but I'm 99% confident that performance was faked, i.e. lip-synced.

Thanks. The length of the notes did make me wonder if it was a wind instrument.

That's called sustain, a property of a good guitar that players love to brag about.

No, no, don't touch it! Don't even look at it!
