Nice tone, but you're playing it wrong. After you've played the main part of the theme on the low E, there's that run where it goes G-F sharp-F-E and then leaps up for the last five notes. The leap is what you get wrong. You leap up an octave, from the low E to the octave E, and then you go to D, followed by B-A-B. The actual theme as written leaps from the tonic E up a major 7th, i.e. to E flat, and from there to D, followed by B-A-B. Try it and see.
I have a song request for you...do you think you could try the guitar part in this video? I would love to hear it, and there are no covers of it on YouTube, and it is a great theme song. Please message me if possible! Thanks!
never played a Gretsch before today. G.C. had a japan 1959 Setzer 6120 sslvo. Cool vibe,stunning looks. But for the money no. Perhaps it wasn't set up properly? controls somewhat were hard to get use to. It didnt have much life till i added some verb on the Blues d'ville , more familiar sounding. It's the model i was real interested too. nut width/ radius of the fret board was not to my liking . Perhaps a wider profile would suit me better.which one do you have?hard to play past the 14th fret
How come you don't use you're pinky? It looks like at times you really struggle to reach notes (which also seems to do your timing in). Use your whole hand.
I am very jealous of your guitar. I'd love an old Gretsch. Ah, one day. I'll sell my wife or something...
These are Gretsch original Filtertron Vintage Alnico pickups. They were originally attached to only 6120ssu models. They have a sound completely different from other Filtertron pickups. It is a so peculiar twangy sound, so I love them.
Flashback Old Memories...Back in college about 100years go I was in a band that had a piano player who doubled on sax, and a trumpet player. The sax and trumpet could just play harmony together on anything anyone thought up first time through. I played guitar or when the piano player was on keyboardss, I played bass.
Then James Bond Theme was our theme song, and when the horns kicked it it was killer. Thanks for the memories.
Is that a customised gretsch? I've never seen one exactly the same ie. the 'toastertop' pickups of a Rickenbacker and a Gibson whammy? Or is that a base model?
@325Chuck355 The 'toaster' pickups on this guitar are Filtertrons or some variation thereof, which are pretty standard on Gretsch guitars. Also, the whammy is a Bigsby and they're pretty much standard issue on Gretschs. In fact, I've probably only seen them on about 4-5 Gibsons as opposed to about 25-30 Gretschs...
i like it, very good quality, but if i might so say, your guitar is out of tune. Sorry for the bad feedback, but it constantly bugged me. Other than that, nice job.
@gretschbriansetzer the original bond theme wasn't recorded on a gretsch tho ... it was some weird archtop thing, the guy was called vic flick lol ;) sounds sweet on the gretsch doesn't it? think i'll steal that for my band he he :)
