Louie Shelton played on a 100's of hit songs

He lives in Australia now
Check out some of his really cool playing

He did most all of his work on A Princeton Reverb with a Telecaster
Also a Super Reverb

Some incredible soloing on Lionel Ritchie's Hello

I think I saw where he did this off the cuff
It was not a pre thought out solo

If you have not seen this documentary on the wrecking crew, it is worth a watch (Or Two)
It is excellent

Louie is mentioned on the wikopedia wrecking crew pageI don't remember if he is in the video below?

Thanks Doug
I enjoyed that. I just wonder if the guy that re-produced that amp made a schematic. I would like to of heard him talk about the history of his tele also but I didn't hear him say anything
