Jimmy Herring: Jam Session #4 Guitar Lesson

[asharp12]

his picking hand is a little weird but other than that this guy is awesome.

[cooperbournemusic]

......wtf was that..........well i have no reason to keep playing wanna buy my guitar? ahahaha

[ThomasMaclennan]

Don't you all know that you can buy fender pickguards and JUST HUMBUCKERS and get them installed in your strat? Seriously the last page of comments or so looks like a bunch of goldfish talking to one another. Just because your guitar comes with a set of pickups on it doesn't mean that you're stuck with them.

[earsoup]

bad mofo !

[todomusika]

awesome guy, awesome player!

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

a strat with humbuckers?

[hldemi]

@FatGuyWithAKatana Yeah wtf ? I saw that strats on some iron maiden guys ?! Dont know who they are...

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

@hldemi could be a charvel but the headstock is way closer to a fender, the hardware is chrome, not black and the logo isn't charvel's either.

[hldemi]

@FatGuyWithAKatana I was a sarcastic with my comment but i see that you are not kidding so I`ll answer seriously. He is playing Fender Custom Shop Strat w/ Duncan '59 Reissue Pickups . So Its a little rare to see Strat with that kind of humbuckers . Anyway strets with usual humbuckers are often seen (usually in metal ) . Cheers

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

@hldemi ah i see, yeah after i posted that last comment i searched for stratocaster with dual humbuckers, only found one picture of one and it was like pink but i concluded that it was a fender. couldn't find one in tobacco burst though.

[hldemi]

Just watch any Iron maiden video and you ll see at least one ... Fender can made their guitar with dead cow inside let alone humbuckers , thats how it works these days

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

@hldemi i like the run to the hills video, cuz adrian uses a guitar that looks sorta like mine, ibanez destroyer :3

[slowfinger2]

@hldemi Fender used to make a strat called the "Lead II" that came with humbuckers.

[pleximanic]

@FatGuyWithAKatana

That's not exactly a new thing, Allan Holdsworth did that WAY back in 74-75 so!

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

@pleximanic yeah yeah i figured it out, just never really paid attention to that sorta thing until recently.

[NoQuattro]

1:32 onward, hilarious! That laugh! "I can't look at it or I'll mess up so bad!"

[louverrone]

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

[G7flat5]

He is not only a great player/musician, but a generous teacher/musician to take the time to show his concepts. Thanks for this posting!

[guitarcrazy019]

This is stupid good!!!!!

[megloman1975]

Does he just have the sweetest tone.

[wharfratt82]

jimmy is one of the best guitar players around..the allmans, phil lesh and the dead have all called on him. now he slays panic fans every night, and its a perfect fit for him

[55k666]

[rotolo]

love the motion garica sounded stuff garcia wasnt as clean but like that too!!!!

[ipl10956]

Thats great

[foamyjesus]

Humbuckers in a strat lol. strange.

[ryan06105]

@foamyjesus

Not really. Eddie Van Halen did the same thing in the late 70's/early 80's.

[rofflesmini]

1:20 is cool.

[indieRknRlr]

wow.. this guy is absolutely amazing. i love his tone, his flow, and his choice of notes. its very. hypnotizing, yet relaxing

[FrancisJulien418]

Thats how a ''middle pickup guy'' sounds like...

This man knows his stuff.

[MrTenderFender]

I love this guy!

[cafdo]

Greatest lesson I've seen in a while from guitarworld. Sounds Super clean, and his playing is very "classical".

Very good.

[kraunchmontozin]

He's angling the pick the "wrong" way, kinda "upwards", like Shawn Line, unlike how most people hold and angle their pick.

[DennIsC00L]

@kraunchmontozin but if it works for him then why is it "wrong"

[Steve128967]

There's no wrong way to really angle. This guy's picking technique is pretty good, except not very economic.

[JerkyChid]

there's no wrong way and just because the majority do something one way doesn't make it right either.

[138arl]

if he's wrong, I don't want to be right. He's Amazing.

[rockpwnsu]

sounds neat
