In this third episode of Synchronized! we have legendary guitarist Ray Russell as our guest. Ray played guitar on the soundtrack of several James Bond films, Space Oddity (David Bowie), You Can’t Hurry Love (Phil Collins), Don’t Cry For Me Argentina (Julie Covington), Bright Eyes (Art Garfunkel) and Private Dancer/Let’s Stay Together (Tina Turner) just to name a few.

Besides playing the guitar he also managed to compose an estimated 10.000 production music tracks for labels like Universal Music, Firstcom and Made Up Music.

Ray not only shares the story about how he started playing with the John Barry Seven, he also tells us about the guitar he was given by George Harrison. It was recently shown in Antiques Roadshow and is worth an estimated….. well you have to listen to find out how much exactly!

Enjoy this fresh episode.

Take care,

Simon Webb and Ferry van Beek
