Vic Flick: An Appreciation

Every frustrated guitarist has at some point in their lives practiced “air guitar” in front of a mirror or brandished a cricket bat or tennis racket as a means of emulating an axe-wielding great. Of that, I am certain. We’ve all done it; myself included.

In fact, when I “played” my note perfect rendition, I was Vic Flick, transported back in time to Abbey Road Studios, circa 1962, where I was leading a full orchestra into recording history. For me, “The James Bond Theme” is the definitive guitar-based instrumental bar none and the most famous film theme of all time.

As such, Vic Flick’s contribution to the success of the Bond series should never be underestimated and, remains, to this day, as vital as Maurice Bender’s opening title sequences and as innovative as “Q’s” gadgetry. Can you imagine a Bond film without its trademark theme? I thought not.

Yes, Vic Flick is the Sean Connery of the electric guitar. Accept no impostors.
