Teenage Cancer Trust /Buddy Holly Fundation charity project

[Jules]

It will hard to recognize who is who except the easy ones like Sonny Landreth on slide guitar…

or maybe Derek Trucks 

Listening to the small 15 second snippet, there are two guitar players doing his thing, and honextly I couldn't bet who are they...

First thought was MK on the LP playing the main tune and Albert Lee with the noodle.

Hi Dusty.
Don't seem to be able to find the 15 second snippet,me being dumb i guess    Where did you find it please? 

In all MK & DS social media posts, also on Guy's site at the main page.

That’s Eric Clapton playing that lick at 0:13 for sure.

As for the project, I was expecting an album so of course it ended up being a huge letdown but looking on the bright side it’s going to be a great 9 minutes.

And let’s be honest here, it’s on Guy. I love his work, commitment and enthusiasm but he surely dropped the ball in terms of building up expectations. I’m sure everyone here would be happy if he’d made it clear it wasn’t gonna be a full album.

Again, unlike many people I do appreciate his efforts, he’s a genius engineer.

Eh, what’s Going Home got to do with Buddy Holly?!

In the end, just that the American branch of the Charity has his name.

As Guy didn't say it hadn't anything to do with Buddy Holly, we thought it was related.

I'm just confused, when did Buddy Holly's name come up in all of this?

It was because of this question/answer in Guy's forum:

Q:Hello Doc. As you would imagine, fans are quite curious about this charity project, that “every great living guitar player” sentende really fire up people’s expectation, and we started to imagine which other names apart on what you mentioned could be involved, our wild guess goes with names like David Gilmour, Peter Frampton and alikes, are our guess good? Also the information about the Buddy Holly fundation… Does it means these are going to be Holly’s songs sung and played by those artists?

A:Your guesses are good. Info on this exciting project very soon.

That "guesses are good" in plural made many of us think the project was about Holly's songs played by that big numbers of guitar players. Also that was a whole record.

I know he can't tell what those projects are but, maybe he could had told that it wasn't related to Buddy Holly? That's not really telling.

Yes, it's MK at the LP playing the main theme, but there are two small solos after played by I can't say who

I'd say that the very last lick is EC

yes I agree

I don't think anyone expected it to be just one song. But I'm happy because it's a MK classic and the lineup is really impressive:)

Honestly, this had so much potential but it's just a huge disappointment.

And who on earth is going to buy a deluxe box of a 9 minute track?

Perhaps people who want to give something to a worthy charity whilst receiving something collectable and memorable in return?

[K-alberto]

I understand if someone feels disappointed, because we always thought of an album.

But it's WE. Just look this whole project from outside, it's a great milestone in the history of rock guitar, some kind of "We are the world" sung by dozens of six-chords-maestros, nothing that has EVER happened before.

I also add - apart from the noble cause - it is Mark Knopfler personale, and REAL, Hall of Fame prize. Well deserved, MK!!

Exactly so.

it's GF's fault. He trolled us all again.

Wow, so much hate thrown at my husband. I hope the rest of the AMT people enjoy the new track, and as another poster pointed out, for a very worthy cause.

Most interesting thing that MK talked with Ken Bruce today in "Greatest Hits Radio" is that he talked with Jeff Beck about doing a record together. Sad that's impossible now, at least he put some of his magic in Going Home.

No hate at all, just dissapoinment, as it's not your husband's fault but ours because we had expectations different to reality.

And yes, it's for a very worthy case, I already preordered the bundle with all the versions of it.
