Listen & Play! Akira Wada Plays Jeff Beck

[Machine Translation] Guitar Instructional CD "Listen & Play! 2nd release. Message from Akira Wada -- " I am honored to be playing JeffBeck again, following on from my performance of SANTANA last time. Each of the songs on this CD brings back memories and nostalgia. I remember listening to "Truth" and "Beck-Ola" when I was 15 years old. Beck's Bolero" was one of the songs that really struck me when I heard him play. I used to play "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers" and "Air Blower" in the early days of PRISM at places like Shibuya Attic by air-checking from FM. Jeff's Boogie" was a song I used to play when I was working as Tsunehide Matsuki's boya (valet), setting up the instruments in the studio and having Matsuki-san play the bass when he had time.... I remember receiving a sample of "Led Boots" from Sony before its release and immediately playing it at Chiba Mothers.... I remember those days.... I am happy to be able to record such a great song of his with my most trusted and familiar members. "

ギター教則CD「リッスン&プレイ!」第2弾リリース。メッセージ・フロム・和田アキラ――"前回のSANTANAに続き今回はJeffBeckを演る事になり、またまた光栄であります。このCDに収められた楽曲ひとつひとつに思い出があり、また懐かしく思います。『Truth』『Beck-Ola』を聴いた時、確か15歳の頃だったかな。「Beck's Bolero」はそんな彼のプレイに衝撃を受けた曲のひとつでもありました。「'Cause We've Ended As Lovers」と「Air Blower」は、PRISM初期の頃、FMからエアチェックして渋谷屋根裏とかで演ったなー。「Jeff's Boogie」は、松木恒秀さんのボーヤ(付き人)をしていた頃スタジオに楽器をセッティングして時間があると松木さんにBASSを弾いてもらって演ったりしたっけ・・・。「Led Boots」は発売前にソニーからサンプルをもらってすぐに千葉マザースで演奏したなー・・・。などなど、当時の出来事を思い出しました。そんな思い出のある偉大な彼の曲を、一番信頼出来る気心しれたメンバーで録音する事ができ嬉しく思います。"
