The Chik or Chink Guitar Part

Post by steveo_1965 »

MAny of you are asking...(i know, i know...I can tell....lol)
who the talented guitarist was, playing a "no-intonation" or
chick sounding part on the early Burt Bacharach or Bacharach\Warwick records was..This was kind of a "sound effect", almost like a tambourine, heard on such songs as Walk On By, Reach Out For Me (Warwick) or Bond Street (Bacharach)
Why...it was Vincent Bell...otherwise known as "Vinnie" Bell..a New York session guiatist!
What he's doing today..I don't know....but he graced many a recording session!
