incredible stuff! I love the sound of guitar all the way from your experimental stuff to Johnny Cash strumming "cowboy" chords with his bare thumb. It's all good stuff!
very nice playing man, but i feel like the guitar is not bringing out all of your sounds, this is limitation because this recording doesnt do it justice!
Leo .. thanks .. this is the song that Merl Travis' son liked the most too .. ** Thom Bresh ** .. He commented specifically on the right hand techniques used in this peice :) ..
I love your guitar style...its really calming and fluid...the rhythm is very natural in your playing.Who has influenced you musically?...and thanx for commenting on my music...im a newcomer to u tube and it really helps to get feedback!!
online angel .. well i was a huge jazz freak in my younger days .. Pat Metheny, Al DiMiola, and a HUGE influence was Jean Luc Ponty .. a jazz violinist .. hearing him changed my whole outlook on music .. and of course there is michael hedges and Erik Mongrain, Antoine Duforu and Tommy Emmanuel .. really too many to list here though .. thanks for the awsesome compliments .. your friend jeff
hey jeff why were you holding the strings upside-down i dont geeet it well anyways you rock and ima get my guitar teacher to teach me one of your songs
p.s. you spelt again wrong in your last post just wanted to let you know
haha yeah .. i'd be interested to know what your teacher says haha ..
and .. i'm holding it upside down for 2 reasons .. in one case its just easier .. its possible to play it rightside up but harder, in the other case .. it would be IMPOSSIBLE to play it right side up .. its a LOT OF !! FUN !! too :) .. awesome question and compliment .. YOU ROCK .. thanks .. your friend jeff
jewtube .. thanks ... you REALLY made me smile with that comment / compliment .. i'll try my very best to never slip below that expectation .. you have my word .. :) .. for the ART .. for the PEOPLE .. thats my motto :) ..
dinkyCS .. yeah .. it was quite an HONOR for the son of GUITAR LEGEND Merle Travis .. Thom Bresh .. a thumbpicking CHAMPION and LEGEND himself to offer such kind words on my style. He specifically compliments my picking hand too so .. YEAH WOW .. JasonElRubio ** Jason McGuire ** Flamenco LEGEND also said " wow you make me want to play steel string again" haha .. thats a great feeling to be honored by my hero's / peers ... thanks for mentioning it .. your friend jeff
thanks man .. good choice too .. Thom Bresh ** Merle Travis' SON ** also compliemented this peice .. :) .. he specifically mentioned the right hand work ..
I think maybe the clever title may have played a part in the envokation of that smile haha .. thanks for stopping by .. great to recieve the compliments of other great guitarists such as yourself .. 1000 thanks bro .. Jeff
yes .. well not in stores . i'm pretty sure you can order it through best buy .. its available at cdbaby DOT com and iTunes and on my website .. as well as 15 other digital partners like buymusic DOT com and Napster its called " Art & Emotion "
you can also hear it on intenets #1 soft rock radio show .. the CHILL PILL :)
hello! you have a fantastic rythm skill^^ lovley, peacefull music! but, TRIVIUM.. is also good :) its my favourite band. well well, i downloded this vid, and i listen to it on my mp3 player every night, i fall asleep whit this wonderful music!! Bombalexus, Herman..
Awesome! I know I'm just saying the same as everyone else, but just love your music. What skill and talent. Can't wait for your CD to arrive and spread some Jeff-vibe to England.
Oh wow. I just saw some comment you'd left somewhere else and came to check. You seem to be an amazing guitarist I hope to perfectionate myself as much as you have done someday. I appreciate all kind of music as well and I can tell you are very passionate about it, about some comment you'd left. Congratulation you sound amazing!
You've got a cool right hand. Love the sound of that guitar! Keep on Rockin & Pickin.. Blue Butterfly was cool as well but this guitar is ass kickin..
its good...wtf it kicks ass u shud keep playing with that style struming. damn ur fingers man i can barely see them move... i wish i could play like you!!!
Loving your work my friend, it's talent like yours that acts as an inspiration to all the young pretenders out there (myself included) to shift it up a gear and continually improve. Great stuff.
i've checked out a couple of ur vids. good stuff. if you respond, what tuning are you playing in? PS...buy a resonator guitar and shoot some of that stuff...we'd all eat it up.
You are really talented! I don't even know where to begin to explain how jealous i am of how well you play the guitar.. So don't come and say I have "good guitar work" - you're crazy how u play!! :) Keep it up!! Ana
Acoustic guitar is probably my favorite thing to listen to...and I definetly liked yours! I can only imagine what it would sound like with lyrics (If you're one of the musicians that is tried and true instrumental--I'm sorry!) Amazing stuff, keep posting more!
They keep getting better! Honestly this is my favorite thus far. It's the mood/vibe u set with you playin. I imagine hiking or loooking at the stars in the summer with a light breeze blowin. (intereting 'little martha' is in the related) 5 stars! Pssht
Thanks Jeff for taking the time to watch my Peyote music video. The drumming and singing are me. You got me thinking about making Native music videos now. Oh Yeah I play the Mandolin,banjo,fiddle. I love me some good blueGRASS! choke! choke! Peace Brother, IronFistEagleClaw
Right on. I've been playing (traditionally) for 17 years and I got excited as hell when I saw your video because it was something totally different. I'll try slapping my guitars around a bit now!
nice piece. The first section seems to have quite a few changes of time signature, which probably make the challenge for it to be an "etude". Do you put your pieces into sheet music or tab ?
Hay Capo, nice job as always. Sorry I didn't comment sooner, I've been going lik a mad man posting a vid, a few slide shows, and two Audio tracks. Keep it up captain my captain ;)
Ah yess, this is the one I would like to use in my next video.Just when I think of quitting youtube you come up with something like this. Superlative. Astounding .Blazing with colour. I'd sure like to hang out at your house and jam with you , lay vocals over some of this and just enjoy the chill ambience of your digs. It always looks like 4:20 there.;)
Dude thats awsome. I'm sort of writing some of my own songs but i play no instruments. But you, you come up with music and the lerics, its just amazing how well you play music.
