Le son fuzz de paul mac Cartney

• Recording session engineer Glen Snoddy records Marty Robbin's hit Don't Worry in Nashville, Tennessee USA. So the story goes (there are several versions), an accident causes a Langevin tube amp module in the mixing console to blow a transformer, making Grady Martin's bass guitar on the song have a fuzzy, distorted tone. The decision is made to keep this unique "fuzz" bass solo as part of the final song, supposedly recorded in late 1960, but not released as a single that year. It first appeared in January 1961 on a greatest hits album. It shot to the #1 spot in the country charts in February. This is generally accepted as the first recorded "fuzz tone" circuit, although Sanford Clark's Go On Home also featured a fuzz box and was actually recorded earlier that year. Grady Martin continued to use this fuzz tone effect in his recordings, including an instrumental called The Fuzz in January 1961. Country musicians, mostly from the Nashville area, picked up on the fad and featured fuzz tone guitar on various recordings for the next few years. These included songs recorded by Carl Butler, Claude Gray, Darrel McCall, and Glen Garrison.
