The Ibanez George Benson GB10

[oliverkent08]

a carbon pick to eliminate feedback? i'm confused about the carbon pick thing... anyways gr8 playing!! O

[oliverkent08]

sounds good! i have the same guitar. i was orginally looking for the size of the truss rod adjustment wrench because i'm scared to use any old wrench. do you know if it's 4mm or 5 mm? also you can "stuff" the guitar with packing foam and that will hold some fake leather at the f holes which in turn keeps the packing foam from flying out of the f holes.... then u can practically play loud rock gigs with the guitar!!

[dragondix]

@oliverkent08 cheers re the foam tip! Not sure on the truss sorry, I never adjusted it as it was literally perfectly playable when I got it - and now it's gone! Good luck with your guitar and your music

[luckluc]

@oliverkent08 Just try a CARBON pick abd you will hear the difference !

[tractorKing]

You are a freaking beast!

Great playing! I use this guitar since 1977 - and I'm still mesmerized. Best from Bavaria, Axel.

@1:54 to 1:56 what cords are there?

I bought 1 for my husband back in 2008 how do i know if it's Japanese? And what is the trick to sound like George Benson hand picking ?

[dragondix]

@GigglingGirI hi - at 1.54 the chord is Emi9 add 4 which is the notes (from low to high) E B G A D F#. The next chord is Dma13/A which is the notes A D F# C# F# B from low to high. At 1.56 its the same voicing one tone lower - the notes G C E B E A. Thanks for watching, sorry it took so long to reply and hope your hubby got his GB10!

[youssmousse]

@dragondix Amazing!!

Is it a George Benson music? What is its title please?

[dragondix]

@youssmousse It is a very rough approximation of the melody / chords to George's version of the great Jose Feliciano tune 'Affirmation'.

[youssmousse]

@dragondix Thank you :)



[GigglingGirI]

OMFG you sounded like George Benson !!!! @ 1:54 what cords are there?

[GigglingGirI]

OMFG you sounded like George Benson !!!!

[diz52nd]

nice playing

[Domingojazz]

Very good playing, also you have very big hands that help you in this... :-)

[318825768]

Very nice

Which Scale are you using at 0:15 and 0:20?

:)

[dragondix]

@318825768 hey there - C Melodic Minor starting from A, with a few chromaticisms, to imply a B7(alt) chord which moves towards the Emi9 that eventually comes along. Most of it is a bit rubbish, random scale stuff with not much invention or great linear thought... Hope that helps.

[carlos13190]

wonderful

[stevetheshed]

I took a look at auction listing and noticed it did not sell. I'm in the UK and can't register on that site, so if your still looking to sell lets talk bucks/pounds. My e-mail is steve.s.johnson@sky.com.

Cheers Steve J.

Hi,what year is this and how much in american funds,thanks.

[jstaley335]

I LOVE you're playing bro! Beautiful playing!!!!1

[jazz1bro]

You know what you are doing! Sounds very good!

[picchaz]

Wow ... So much good stuff in this video. Could I ask what is your opinion about floating P.U.'s vs. mounted P.U.'s?

[dragondix]

@picchaz Hi there - i'm not sure i have so much opinion on that as I don't play a GB10 much anymore - this one has sold! So I'm back to playing a wonderful 335 and an old but great Ibanez Artstar. I did love the creamy tone of the GB10; sorry I can't be more help.

[davidgrech1]

The hollow body sound suites your style as well.
