[SlowhandKev]

Jeremy this was sweet! It's Benjamin from MD, Gary's friend. I heard him leave a voicemail about checking this out, I'm not a hardcore blues fan, but I appretiate much. (yes this is my youtube account)

Great playing and tone! Real swinging feel and very nice phrasing. You should go to the top, Jeremy!

One question - were you tuned down a whole step? Kinda looked like you were playing in G, and this track's in F, right?

[JWKennemur]

Thanks!

Haha! I was wondering if anybody would catch that! I liked that track but F isn't the BEST key to have to play in. I keep that guitar tuned down a half-step for a couple of songs with my band, so I tried that and then decided to go down another half-step so I could use some open strings also.

For the record, that guitar is 25" scale and I use 11's on it.

[kgabk]

Thanks for the reply and the info, Jeremy - yeah, G would be a bit more comfortable for me,too!

Again, GREAT playing, and the tones are awesome. All the best for the coming rounds!

[chuckinator5K]

Kick ass Jeremy!!! Fricken excellent brother!!! Burlap and Blues rocks!!!

[cguessman]

well deserved win man. Incredible tone, flawless runs, and I'm blown away by your perspective on the Big Band Blues backing. Good luck in the finals. Do you play the same backing track or are you preparing a new piece?

[JWKennemur]

Thanks! I'll be playing a different track for the store finals....

[carloswalter1975]

Sounds awesome. Great job! Glad to hear you're through to the next round. (I am too!)

[JWKennemur]

Way to Go!

[JWKennemur]

Thanks!

That's a Modified Boss SD-1 and an MXR Carbon Copy Delay.

[SciFiBlues]

Nice sound. What were the mods on the Boss?

[JWKennemur]

It had a very basic (three component) mod to give it a more Tube Screamer tone. I have done a little further modding to it myself and I'm still planning on tinkering with the output/input capacitors to keep it from rolling off quite so much low end.

[SciFiBlues]

That's some really nice playing!

You should do well in the next round.

What pedals are you using?
