That link failed to work for me.

What can I say? Archtops rule! I noticed that he ended with that most famous of chords, an Em9 nat 7 voiced 0 10 9 8 7 X. That is one great voicing.

The topic got me looking at Vic Flicks’s guitar discussions about the Bond theme. I (for some reason) always thought it was a strat. Anyway, this makes more sense. I’m still wondering about why he had a rail humbucker in the strat when he sold it to the Pawn shop. I also came across this interview with Vic Flick that filled in some of the questions regarding his choice of guitars. Hopefully this shows up better.

Apparently played on a Clifford Essex Paragon with a DeArmond floating pickup, plugged into an AC-15. Linked is a YouTube video of him playing the original Bond Theme.

Thanks for sharing those direct links!

I've been just happen to be working on my "spy surf medley" of which the backing rhythm is the James Bond theme.
I mix in licks from Mission Impossible, Good the Bad and Ugly. Goldfinger, Hawaii 5-0, Batman, and a few others. It's fun!

Love this topic. Like the iconic riff, it never gets old.

IceratzSurf, let us know when you are done.

Here are my humble contributions to the world of Bond tributes at YouTube:
- Bond theme using a baritone Danelectro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38dOj-CS1r8&list=OLAK5uy_k3LyMLKmrnNrgJBPQTSdg2-O6IZHQG-Wc&index=8
- Live and Let Die: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyUTCwXadc8&list=OLAK5uy_k3LyMLKmrnNrgJBPQTSdg2-O6IZHQG-Wc&index=5
This project also lives at Spotify. Bonus: Drummer on a lot of these tracks was Denny Seiwell (Paul McCartney and Wings).

I am floored. Loving your choices and, well, I am a sucker of anything Carly Simon so hearing The Spy Who Loved Me made my day. Have you done any of this material in the studio?

Thanks so much! We've played it live a lot, but have never recorded it. Both of my previous bands, Fronkensteen and They Never Came Back! used it as show closers. I'm slowly trying to get it into the mix with the new band, The Atomic Palms.

KAR120C, that's too bad. It was great. I would like to add it to my collection. As a non-facebooker, I don't have any options at this time.
