Eddie Hazel was only 21 years old. He was flying on high doses of yellow sunshine acid, and George told him to play like his mother died. He was surrounded by stacks of Marshall amps, wah pedal cocked, and foxxtone fuzz (from what I've gathered), and recorded this entire improvised solo in just one take. One take.

The echo effect is two Echoplex tape echo units. The wah is likely a Vox (I've found a photo of Eddie on stage during this era and he's using a Vox).

@@bsh819 I got the info from George Clinton's autobiography. Whether Clinton's memory is accurate or not is a different story, though it's very well-known that the Funkadelic boys ate lots of acid, recorded full albums while on it, and performed shows on it. To me Maggot Brain definitely sounds like a heavy acid trip so I don't doubt the story for one second.

I hit the shrooms real hard and this came up on the playlist....what a way to find a masterpiece.

Eddie Hazel, 21 years old recorded this solo in one take, in the middle of Marshall stacks. He was flying on high doses of the yellow sunshine acid the entire time, and George told him to play like his mother just died, which he certainly did. He recorded this masterpiece in one take. Hardcore fans all knew of this, it has been confirmed in George Clinton's book.

Undeniably the hands down best solo ever recorded on guitar

This is an incredibly awesome example of great guitar playing that got lost in the shuffle because there was so much talent during the late 60's and early 70's. This isn't the pedals doing the work! Naw... instead, that's pure sweet tone coming off this guys fingers for sure!!! If you don't have the chops to start with, all the pedals in the world won't make a difference

@@endoalley680 the delay is a Echoplex. In George's book, he said he layered two echoplex machines, but when talking with someone near his orbit, said it was an echoplex and a cheaper offbrand tape delay.

WOW! ....heart-wrenching.

I heard this for the first time when I was about 19... My father let me hear it. Its like they were able to make their guitars cry back then...

This was released in 1971.

I've been hip to this song since I was a teenager back in the '70s love this s***

With Jimmie and Prince, YES! SUPERALATIVE! visuals are worthy. ✌✊🤟

Very trippy and good video to see while listening to this masterpiece!

What a wonderful collage video.

Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts" Travel like a king Listen to the inner voice A higher wisdom is at work for you Conqering the stumbling blocks come easier When the conqueror is in tune with the infinite Every ending is a new beginning Life is an endless unfoldment Change your mind, and you change your relation to time You can find the answer The solution lies within the problem The answer is in every question Dig it? An attitude is all you need to rise and walk away Inspire yourself Your life is yours It fits you like your skin The oak sleeps in the acorn The giant sequoia tree sleeps in its tiny seed The bird waits in the egg God waits for his unfoldment in man Fly on children Play on You gravitate to that which you secretly love most You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts There is no chance, coincidence or accident In a world ruled by law and divine order You rise as high as your dominant aspiration You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self Free your mind and your ass will follow The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers Its nature is to respond to your thoughts Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind For seeds grow after their kind Play on children Every thought felt as true Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind Take roots in your subconscious Blossoms sooner or later into an act And bears its own fruit Good thoughts bring forth good fruit Bullshit thoughts rot your meat Think right and you can fly The kingdom of heaven is within Free your mind, your ass will follow Play on children So long lady Yeah
