Bee Gees - Instrumentalist Personnel

Instrumentalist Personnel

Barry Gibb played rhythm guitar.

During the early 1970s, Robin Gibb played piano and violin occasionally, but most of the time he only sang. Although he kept on playing strings and keyboards privately, he had not played any instrument on stage since mid-1970s.

Maurice Gibb played bass guitar, rhythm and lead guitar, harmonica, piano, organ, mellotron, keyboards, synthesisers and drum tracks. From 1966 to 1972 he played multiple instruments on many records. During the late 1970s he played mainly bass guitar. From about 1986 onward he usually played keyboards and guitars. Maurice was credited by the brothers as being the most technologically savvy member of the band, and had built his own home studio. The bootleg CD ESP Demos allegedly includes rough versions of tracks from the album of the same name that were recorded at that studio.

These musicians were considered members of the band:

• Colin Petersen – drums
• Vince Melouney – lead guitar
• Geoff Bridgford – drums
• Joey Murcia – rhythm guitar
• Alan Kendall – lead guitar
• Dennis Bryon – drums
