Lindsey should have done this for all the songs, and then had a transcript created and published. The Ken Caillat book wasn't nearly as technically informative—he tried covering too many bases, including historical summary and personal anecdote. All that extra stuff watered down the technology message.

About Mick: He must have a learning disability or something. What he does on GYOW is more abstract and difficult than the snare+tom+tom+tom pattern that Charlie Watts did on Street Fighting Man.

About Christine: The B3 chords on GYOW with the stops all pulled out doesn't feel gritty. It just sounds like a pipe organ. If she had added more clicky percussion and growly overdrive and maybe some swell and then pushed in half the drawbars, it would have felt gritty (and wrong for GYOW). Chris isn't really a gritty B3 player anyway—only here and there does she play the B3 in that bluesy way.

Here's a little elfin guy showing his Leslie 122 speaker cabinet and describing how it generates its specialized sound.

Here's the same little elvish fellow demonstrating his B3.

And here's a Firing Line segment with Buckley and Dwight Macdonald.
