I've watched the Blues Brothers recently, and I'm very curious as to how many cars were wrecked in the film. It must be over 50 at least.
Answer
At time of release, this film held the world record for the number of cars crashed. this quote is found over and over but no number is given.
the director said "13 Blues Mobiles, and anywhere from 30-60 other cars''. But I believe he was trying to be evasive.he said "we kept crashing the same cars over and over.
There was some comment about this on the recent 20th anniversary DVD. In one of the documentaries, I think, there's a whole section on the Bluesmobile.
-They used five or six Pinto's for the Nazi car that flew off the bridge. There was a lot of trouble getting a permit to do this; they had to prove that they could accurately predict where the car was going to land. They dropped one as test run (it landed in a cornfield). They sawed two in half, to get the camera inside them. They used one for the low-drop (into ditch in the road), and two for the high-drop (off the bridge).
-The limousine seen outside the Chez Paul belonged to the owner of the restaurant. He almost had a heart attack when the stunt driver smashed through a letter box with his first attempt at parking.

How does John Mayer go from sweet sounding solos to bluesy runs and riffs?

After watching John Mayer play Gravity on the Crossroads dvd, i have been wondering about the scales he uses. I know the song is in G and i can play lead over the chords but in his second solo i noticed that he sounds a lot more bluesy than in his first solo. I was just wondering if he's using a different scale or just adding notes to the scale. If he is then what scale is he using or what notes?
Answer
Try playing the pentatonic scale and the blues scale at different points. It will make it sound like there are two different blues players. If the song is in G, then play a G pentatonic G-A#-C-D-F-G, but then try using the blues scale for G: D-E-G-A-B-D. You can't play the scale exactly the same to get the blues scale, but it is close. When you get better, you will learn to play through the progression, using a combination is the best. The Pentatonic will give it a classic rock solo feel, the blues scale will give it blues flavor.
