Jazz guitar - Infinity by Morten Faerestrand

[mburrell23]

Love this piece Morten! And I love the way your guitar's designed. Sweet!!!

[alessoper]

You're great , it seems to listen to Scoot Henderson!

[Hagstrom4ever]

Beautiful piece..could you explain how you connect the breath controller to guitar? I'm buying it next week but I have no idea how connect it. Thanks a lot

[FusionMusic1000]

@Hagstrom4ever As far as I know, this is a Steve Vai design guitar and it has been 'midi enabled' (which you can do yourself). You then need an midi-controller. "Breath Controllers" plug into the midi device (as far as I know) not into the guitar and can be used to control what ever feature you want.

[sarahvlo]

Excellent choice of notes. Your phrasing is also beautiful. Best piece of music I've heard in a long while. Good on ya, mate!

[Owatunes]

Such a beautiful playing!! Just great!!!

Best from PoA @ Owatone

[childmatters]

many thanks!



[childmatters]

may I ask how this setup works and with what Breath Controller [controlling what, exactly?] - very beautiful playing.. Thank you!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@childmatters Thank you! It's controlling volume via midi, that's it! the mouthpiece is yamaha, and the midi converter is made by midi solutions. It can control any device that can receive midi cc to control volume.

[Lillemy1]

Rett og slett bare DEILIG :)

[Paiste01]

This is Amazing, I am glad I discovered you :D

[jcou1138028]

[CyValkarion]

Good taste in guitars! Sounds amazing by the way. Never heard anything quite like it, but it's moving and inspiring. Thank you for giving this to us!

[floradreaming]

wow! that's amazing!! it's my first time to watch this.

[EstevanMusic]

Amazing. You have inspired me.

[asxefv]

Don't care about those 10 guys

[mickifri2]

Wonderful ideas, great skills.

[brwnhornet59]

I thought it sounds more like Holdsworth or Gambale. I love the legato! As always, love it Morten.

[hizzogg]

Wow! Awesome solo. Did you buy the breath controller or did you set it up yourself? I've been wanting one for so long! I've been watching your videos and love your work. Thanks for all the posts.

[jfo3000]

Many mentions of this sounding like Vai; sounds way beyond that...more like Holdsworth type of harmony...

[EntanglementSatan]

Just awesome..

Reminds me of Steve Vai's melodies at times ;D

keep up the good job.

[michaeljipi]

Wow such great palying my friend. Glad I found you on youtube :D

Do you use any effects beside the breath controller? Sounds amazing

[PieterdeRooijHolland]

Wow, good composition and great playing ! And thx for inviting me for friendship, it got me introduced to you :)

[SurgeCess]

excellent piece

[ieatmusic1]

King among guitarists. You have to appreciate how much 'good practice' time you have to put in to get this good.

[JAMMINJIMMYBENNETT]

You have an amazing talent and you're young. You should have a great

future in music!! Thumbs up!!

[KillerBeBop94]

~ Jerry

[Vovka1960morkovka]

Sound great!!!!

[sminchk67]

I hear some Pat Metheny and Frank Gambale influence in your playing. Two of the greats...you meld the two so well into your own thing, awesome!

[dowakado]

nice



[SteveBrownOfficial]

Brilliant.

[treevideo1]

LOVE IT!!

[ACDSEVEN]

kool solo man !

[Olivsam]

[ibzmav]

[SzokkozS]

And that is your composition?!? Man...I'm speechless :)

[SzokkozS]

AMAZING! From one musician to another, U have my huge respect! Keep it up!!!

[poltecho]

I don't know if you intended it, but I think this would work brilliantly on a soundtrack of some sort. I enjoyed this very much.

Thanks for the friend request by the way!

[tonyparkerfly]

Wonderful!!!



[tonyparkerfly]

Wonderful!!!

[richardsimpotuts]

This is amazing, It's soo relaxing. Great job! :D

[bsherman2006]

So nicely done, thank you for sharing it!

[GuitarraConAndres]

Very interesting technique, Morten. I once saw Slash doing something similar but his mouth control was a wah-wah.

I love your collection of guitars in the background.

[Drahcir1961]

Great performance! i loved it! 5*****

[rootboyslim]

Beautiful, the breath control adds rather than subtract, as so many gimmicks and effects sometimes do. Play on!

[bbsb300]

Amazing sound and amazing talent, Cheers Billy ;)

[QuistTV]

great playing!!! All the best from London

[Jorgeoboa]

Master Guitarrist!!, good luck... from Spain.

[muziksteel]

i love that sound oh my

[hamandsmoke]

A spellbinding and gripping narrative beautifully played - and one I shall be re-visiting again and again - and looking forward to watching all 12 of your videos now.

[Jaynesgang]

That was very nice Morten. Such fluid technique! I loved the way you built up the intensity. Great stuff!!

[johnhorneguitar]

Wow. Nice. Reminiscent of Holdsworth's work.

[william52648]

Very moving piece :-)*~~~

[tkguy30]

I like this

[UniverSouLove]

A great piece of music. Filled with passion and talent. Enough said.

[rocsil]

That’s a very singular and interesting way of playing guitar.

A Smooth composition and an impressive electric guitar solo

Hats off to you

The future is now. Good luck

[ruevo1]

Beautiful!!! - Ganz, ganz wunderbar!!! Gefällt mir: Great playing!!

[WorldOfJazz]

Nice!!!! Great playing!!

[WorldOfJazz]

Nice!!!!

[mikerudjazz]

Sounds beautiful man!

[gianotts]

Beautiful!!!

A little question (and sorry for my poor english): the sound of the guitar is pure (acoustic with dist.), only midi-generated or a mixing of sampled sound and acoustic ?

[TheDanceofjoy]

Killer melodic playing dude i loved the melodies.

[jongreek]

Well done! See some of that Metheny influence in there. He is one of my main guys, too. Cheers, Jonny Octane

[paolitas7]

wow!!!!! I have never seen this kind of guitar, she works with the air, I am speachless, great job mate! 5******

[delaserna34]

Buena música .

Gracias por su amistad y Feliz 2011

[veguixor]

wow man that's amazing, i would pay to see you play live =)

[custardapple777]

Your composition is haunting me

[MrPappypaws]

Dude, this is to smooth, do ya thing.... 1

[Sissiaraujo]

Amazing performance, congratulations!!

[gulfflamenco]

nice music

[fjdmusicman]

Inspired playing ! You definately have put in your 1000 hours of practice...I can hear the influence of Matheny and other moderen guitar players..I do wish you were more influenced by the 'old school players like Joe Pas, Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel etc. You may hae learned to use notes more sparingly and not sound like any other guitar out there...Try losing the mouth piece and buy a fat gibson...BUT, you really are a talent to be recond with..Good luck, I an tell you will be playing all your lif

[Alastair6]

That was very nice! Good mix of the modern guitar sound, chord changes and emotional level. I like the midi controller too. Very musical!

[jazzflutist]

Beautiful. First thing I played when I got up - watching for the sun to come up over the mountains. It's actually transcribable into a flute piece - hmm - ideas. This piece should be playing on the radio.

[xpoopiepapix]

wowww very beautifull and soulfull...i love it!!!

[yarpyarp85]

man, very nice, sounds a little methenyish. I love it when you let loose in the middle.

[warlockboyburns]

brilliant

[TheSax26]

Thanks I subscribed and added tou to my favoritiesThesax26

[AlexDD]

Wonderfull! Merry Xmas!

[xxgubixx]

This is great.

[mburrell23]

Beautiful.

[extremadrummer]

A lot of Gambale... what it's not a bad thing !!! Very good job. Congs. for the playing and the composition too.

[pianodrumteacher]

That's beautiful! You have a great talent. To build a solo over such a slow rhythm, and over so many bars -- that is extremely challenging. You nailed it. You told a story...awesome job.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@pianodrumteacher Thank you very much!

[veguixor]

@pianodrumteacher wow nice comment hahaha =D

[Melonos]

Good stuff man.

[ghombrero]

great musicality Morten!

[Saimenism]

could you tell me how that thing in your mout actually works? Is it a volume controller that you need to blow on? anyways amazing playing!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Saimenism yeah, that's what it is, it controls volume via midi.

[FerencLiszt]

Bravo!!

[HKM67]

Great, Magnificent, put a big smile on my face. You are gifted. THX so much.

[HKM67]

Super, Magnificant! Thank you so much. But a big smile on my face. You're gifted.

[lhemeon]

This is most excellent

[DYNODRUM]

not overdone ,overimpressed upon, overkilled or over easy , But over the top in your expression of control , Revolution.......

[havalyousef]

Oh my God...that was really ...hummmm...speechless ,,,,,blessings.

[eloelo14]

this is incredible, thanks!

[TayTayKemp]

absolutely brilliant my friend! Your talent is something else! *claps* ^^

[therockartistyo]

what a beautiful sound. awesome man.

[KafirAlalazoo]

Thanks very much for the friend request. I've only listened to this one video so far, but I was really impressed... and I am NOT easily impressed!

Your style (on this song, anyway) brings to mind Allan Holdsworth, Steve Lukather... and even a bit of Jeff Beck. All of whom I like.

I'll be listening to all of your other videos when time permits, I've subscribed, bookmarked your website, and I'll be tossing a few bucks your way via iTunes after I've recovered from my Christmas expenses.

Cheers!

[JobamMartins]

nice!

[glennmach]

Bravo ! Great playing on your guitar and a very nice song,5 *****..Marc Jones..Los Angeles,U.S.A.(Vocalist-pop/ja­zz)

[lincolnpereira]

[atavistos]

Cool! Thanks. Can I hear the powerful influence of a " folk " element in your work ?

Great work Morten !

[sankofamusician]

Really nice dude!

[tonvenhuizen]

Beautiful. I didn't know this way of control, and I like it! Well played !

[tomkuhn]

Very Very cool

[LONGWINDING]

Great, reminds me of a Allan Holdsworth CD "Secrets", really good playing, nice tone!

Best regards, Frank

[KingdomUploader]

this piece just now reminded me of how much i love jazz; i love the diversity in it and the boundless limits of it's ability to become more than it is.



[SpeedPickers]

amazing..and first time I see a white signature Jem used for something different than rock-metal...interesting...!

[HaukJRoesten]

Hei Morten! Detta likte jeg godt!

Av en eller annen grunn tenkte jeg på Planet X under soloen. Vet ikke helt hvorfor, for det er ganske forskjellige verdener. Det er absolutt ikke negativt, bare noe som slo meg. Tror kanskje det er noe med akkordene og gitarsounden.

Lurte på hvordan "breath controller'n" din fungerer. Regner med at det er litt i retning samme som på en midi-sax? Men hvordan har du koblet opp dette og hvordan skaffa du den?

[arteybelleza]

Wonderful music, i like it! *****

[doubleotwentyone]

Nice one...

[boogpatton]

Very cool!

[ilircerisha]

BRAVO MORTEN............!!!

[garymarksmusic]

Cool, unique

[Sliepnir2006]

A lovely piece of music, thank you for the share, tis somewhat funny tho, to go from rap to this as just before I had an invite from a rap group... The contrast is quite astonishing..

But this is haunting, serene and rather beautiful, suits a slow dance in some forgotten nightclub, with a pretty woman... Lovely :)

[melaniejsnow]

I've never heard anything like this before! Thank you for adding me as a friend.  Great music! Very soulful! Best wishes-Melanie

I just found my new chill out music...I really dig your shred...the breath controller adds a new dimension...\m/ Peace \m/

[Kangsryche]

Cool! Sounds like a Saxophone. I haven't seen one of those. Would be really cool if you got real emotional and made that thing cry.

[TopJimmyWinn]

Nice Ibanez Jem. Your new friend Jimmy.:)
