Jimmy Herring: Jam Session #3 Guitar Lesson

[Damazio57]

He looks like an older Zakk Wylde.

[SupairDup]

Yeah this dude seems like he should be so far out in theory world that he should have a translator with him when he tries to communicate with us peons

[SupairDup]

Yeah this dude seems like he belongs so far out in theory world that he shouldn't be able to communicate with us lay-people

[oldsyphilitic]

Jimmy brings an improtant lesson here. If you want to play guitar brilliantly, there's no alternative to hard work, learning theory, scales and chords. Once you've done that you can play what you want, not the usual blues pentatonics. No mystery just damned hard work!

[CosmoKramerish]

whoa, check out the phantom slide work at 3:14. how the hell does he do that?

[littlewing62]

i wonder if he has a 5 selector switch..

[mikedoveguitar]

@littlewing62 No. I attended a master class with him and he explained it. It's a 3 way switch with two volumes and one tone so that he can blend the pickups and uses a volume pedal as his master volume.

Jimmy,

Make a book with several classic (not too hard) J.H. songs/solos with tab/notation and analysis.

You'd never have to work again. Of course you love what you do so I'm sure you would keep up the great music.

Thanks

god i wish i new what he was talking about.....

[wharfratt82]

phil lesh gave jimmy that guitar when he joined the dead

[ermonski]

best clean tone I've heard!

[Ihateyoubillclinton]

@ermonski It looks like Fender got some Jazzmaster pickups and put them on a Strat. That was a really good idea, the tone is phenomenal.

[cbodtorf]

@Ihateyoubillclinton those are duncan 59' reissue humbuckers, but he uses some loller imperial humbuckers in his new white strat

[adlegol]

@ermonski Look up Steve Kimock, better clean imo. Jimmy is top shelf tone wise..

[nirvana613]

Great video !

[curioman]

What a great sound! The 'buckers in the strat sound great.

[Nachtmahr]

agreed

[esdreas10101]

love the tone!

[sotuph]

i saw a strat with a humbucker like that in the neck and the two other pickups where regular singlecoils it was played by a guy from thin lizzy cant remember his name ^^'

[Gday2u]

@sotuph Scott Gorham

[xCYNICOUTCASTx]

never seen a strat with the silver 'buckers like that.

[PiperTheGreatX]

@xCYNICOUTCASTx probably a custom job

[joanaparicio]

@xCYNICOUTCASTx Hiram Bullock got one similar

[ThatSillyMosher]

this is awesome.

[JoeGuitarGuy]
