Vintage 57 stratocaster through tube powered marshall amp ;)

[allaboutdatGDA]

pckup position request, please? between bridge and middle perhaps? that'd be my guess. has a little clucking sound to 'er.

[vyfelz]

F'kin great playing!.. this clip made me wanna buy an AV 57' Strat !

Henrik

[MultiScoffer]

This is the finest guitar that I have ever owned and versatile as well. This Strat was ready to play right out of the tweed case! Hey, this Strat is the closest thing that you are going to get to a Custom Shop Strat but without the price.

[imkawed]

amizing!

bravo, très beau, technique feeling tout y est!

[rhum66]

Go on squeezin' n shakin' that strat, this s si GOOD....

[AmericanTakeover]

i just fell in love with that guitrar :)

[timtipton5071256]

Hey...you better knock that shit off right now....or , maybe a lil' later, but definately quit this activity soon....aahhhh....what the hell....keep em' comin'....very nice man....

[sufructuosa]

muy bueno, gran sonido y estilo..

[monette76]

Just Beautiful Phrasing, never overplayed, Tasteful......

EJM

[hesius1995]

What kind of sunburst is that?

[MultiScoffer]

@hesius1995 two tone sunburst

[Slayerpwnsu]

@hesius1995 Vintage Two tone, or sometimes called Copper burst I think.

[ldhobbs]

i know that is a Marshall tube amp, but which one?

[MrCaribbean]

ohh yeah, loving it man :-) "born on a bad sign"..keep it up ;-)

[ohrofax]

3465 single notes too much

[wlripper]

Real nice playing :)

[parosite]

what yr is that 57 ri the frets look bigger than the vintage ones i had on mine

[brownbigb]

it's a resissue

[brownbigb]

that is not a vintage strat. or it has been refinished.

[DisasterBlaster500]

I want me wunna dem! :-D

[vhfgtiuoiu]

Dire

[stretch90]

Which marshall amp are you using here?

[LucaSbaBabetto]

Nice feeling man!

[eggmanburrito]

now how the hell did you get that strat?

[poeman333]

very nice

[usabarber]

Its good to hear someone playing some good stuff for a change, KEEP it up

[Utubestolemylife]

Very nice paying.

[OneFifthNative]

I got one. Same as this, SB/MN. Worth every penny. I play it straight into a Fender Pro-Junior all tube amp.

[callthemall]

it's either a reissue, or squire CV 50

[SirJonze]

If this is a "vintage" '57 it must have been stored in a hyperbaric chamber over the past 52 years. The body looks almost convincing but the fretboard looks like it could have been built today. Either way beautiful axe & playing.

[Italicorum3500]

Eric Clapton style...bravo.

[parosite]

how is it that you hve jumbo frets did you get it refretted ?

[mineATV]

awesome...

[4erosmith]

can u please tell me some pages with tabs like this...? very nice playing thnx!!

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

u rock

[wendalclarke]

I have the same guitar and I am wondering if you have had a lot of buzz from the neck we have shimmed polished frets you name it action up and down cant seem to solve it i love the tone and feel of this guitar just wish we could make her quiet i love the blues playing by the way keep bending thks for any info

[0Rocker94]

tabs please!!! ^^

[kevinfanofthebeatles]

a vox would be the best for this guitar

[daviemcf]

Cool playin PG2 !!

[GuitarAK81]

Good job! Sounds like Albert Collins

[scrumpymanjack]

GuitarAk81 it sounds NOTHING like Albert Collins. Sorry mate, but you show a gaping lack of knowledge, ear or maybe both.

[SoundPlanner]

nice note selection and fluid flow, tasty

[Metalkiller123]

hell yeah bb king xd

great playing and great sound (and soundtrack)

[LyteWave]

Get a Fender tube amp and let the tone of that guitar shine through. Marshall just doesn't show the best tone of a strat.

Good playing.

[MTLFAN11]

I think Hendrix may disagree ;-P...just a thought!!

[artdietrich]

the little marshall mg15cdr is a good amp for my strat .-) the best maybe a twin silverface or a hughe&kettner or a ... bbking plays good on everey amp lol

[scrumpymanjack]

@LyteWave Er, Jimi Hendrix had a reasonable tone, wouldn't you say?

[brownbigb]

@scrumpymanjack not really. ad jimmy used small fender amps in the studio often.

[kyle9371]

good job

[10472112LEE]

So you listen to Gary More. 

Peace.

[tulikars]

wild, sanguinary, ferocious, took my breath away...too much!..no words. the best of all.

Artur

hugs from Brazil.

[fadetoz]

Great playing and the tone is rite on.... Is that a backtrack that I can find somewhere? Please!!!

[dkvon]

nice!

[frenzexperiment]

hey man is your marshall an alltube amp?

do you use any pedals?

when you say powered you mean modified?

reply soon please!

[pascalsantana]

Nice vibrato , very "Clapton's vibrato style" =)

[avispasentuass]

nice tones on that fender but the price?

[Stratmax69]

Really really nice playing guy! And great guitar too ;)

[JVStratocasters]

Nice Playing :D

[bjdhgj]

I DO REALLY LIKE THIS TONE! And I like high gloss maple fingerboard too!

Thanx for this vid! Nice job!

[77SystemOfaDown]

i Dont like maple fretboards :(

I love just love them ! :)

[jjd54321]

my strat has a maple board, wouldnt have it any other way =)

[billysfender]

cool,love the attack.

[roxanne2wilde]

ccc...a ne hvalis se sviranjem? sram te bilo:)

[Thmscr]

why maple is better? I reckon that the pysical of playing these maple vintage neck with gloss is really nice... But is it really that better tonewise than rosewood?

[ivanyhy]

it's personal preference.

typically you get a warmer sound with rosewood, and maple isn't as warm, but it plays fast. I mean really it's all just personal preference. i have maple because i like the feel of maple

[Thmscr]

tonewise i prefer rosewood even if the brighter sound of maple necks are great.but there aren't that of huge differences in tone actually

[wallis222]

I own several Fender guitars and generaly it seems that guitars with maple fretboards have more mid and treble. Whereas, the guitars with rosewood boards have a more balanced tone. The rosewood board gives the guitar a little more bass, and a little less mid. Think John Mayer compared to Eric Clapton. However, I have heard some maple fretboard guitars that sound like your typical rosewood board guitar, and vice versa.

[Thmscr]

I see...I prefer rosewood as it is more balanced and has more bass in it so i'll go for a 62 reissue..But the other day i was playing a '57 in a vox ac30 and it felt really good. That maple neck is great...But i can't afford to have them all! lol

[whynottalklikeapirat]

best explanation by far - i agree and will just add that preference should depend on purpose as well as overall personal taste. Some fenders wont cut it as blues guitars but may make great hard rock instruments. studionwise you should also consider the function you want whats played to have in the mix. maybe you need that extra maple top for some parts and mellow rosewood for others even if youll play just one instrument on the road.

[wallis222]

Agreed. Furthermore, what an instrument 'should' sound like when written up on paper, is not always what it 'actually' sounds like. There will always be the odd guitar that doesn't sound like it should. I have heard many maple neck strats that sound like they have a rosewood board & vice-versa. I have heard many ash teles that sound like alder. It all depends on the particular intrument, NOT THE MODEL, as every piece of wood has unique tonal qualities. This is why you SHOULD NOT buy online.

[mineATV]

yeah..maple is better. i have 1. your 2nd choice must be maple too..try it

[jgmm322]

can anyone tell if i should get this or the 62? i am leaning toward this because, from what i have heard, it sounds better and i perfer maple. can anyone give me a second opinion?

[sssloe]

Go and try them out both, see what you like better :)

[Photoshock]

That's nice and skilled playing, no question about it.

:)

[frmwthn]

albrt kng LIVES

[yobhsiFehT]

Overall, I think this is some of the best playing I've heard on YouTube that didn't have one of the big names on the screen. Seriously. Way to hold it down and keep it together. Keep up the good work! Peace.

[shanebracko1234]

People are asking me about 2-5 thousands dollars I will never sell it though

[shanebracko1234]

nice song from albert king i own a 1989 strat

[strata1972]

Great job, nice take on albert king, I was entertained.

I actually play a 1972 Fender I bought in 1982 for 125 dollars here in Texas. Now I got people wanting to give me thousands for it.

[Pianobug95]

I play on a 1957 Fender Strat that my dad bought in the 1970's for 150 dollars.

I'm 14:D

[abradfordajb]

I really like your style ..... thanks for posting. rgds.

[jgmm322]

Incredible playing! very, very smooth

[petertorro]

sounds good what kind off pick ups?

[guitarnlax36]

I love that little lick in the begining man that was killer great job 5 stars

[guitarnlax36]

you can play man sick job and nice guitar

[Gabaz76]

What is amplificator? Compliments and thank you,by.

[nikcapo]

the back track sounds like "You can leave your hat on" by joe cocker

[whoosoo]

what effects are u using here?

[mightybright1]

Nice style - you have a genuine 'blues' gift.

mightybright1

[Pinus2]

Very very good! What's the song name?

[SoloBen247]

im his manager the song name is "born under a bad sign"

[rockerdude29]

Thats a real '57?

[SoloBen247]

im his manager yes it is

[Beshimi]

well then you're a bad manager, because no it isn't. that's a reissue.

[gregory49]

they may claim it is. but theres no way it is. There are plenty of real ones on here but that isn't one of them. It sounds way to thin.

[rockerdude29]

have you ever played the new AM 54 reissues?

Theres no way the do justice to a real 50's strat.Theyre just horibble.

[gregory49]

Theres a '57 ri. The 54 is from the custom shop. The 62 I had from the CS was one ... actually the best strat I've ever played.

[rockerdude29]

oh ok,it mustve been a 57 then,but it was crap either way.yeah those custom shop models are badd.I played a team built 69 closet classic strat,one of the best Ive ever played,could could imagine how great the masterbulits must be?

[SamSegerblom]

great job man, you have a very good touch.

Please comment my videos!

[SoloBen247]

awsome licks man what marshall is this?

[blackskullbass]

........wtf. you ask that, then you say ur his manager?

[1RokiN]

Great playing!

And now I truly understand the big deal about tube Marshalls... the only Marshall I've ever played was a solid-state... :D

[cuevamusica]

HOla che estas tocando directamente ,sin ninguna pedalera, solo con el ampli marshall MS4 porque me quiero comprar uno y estoy viendo si vale para pena un abrazo, soy de Argentina La Plata

[EgoTailTRAILCIRCLE]

Beautiful Vibrato technique, very frilly =D.

[Multifrucht]

I don't really like the vibrato, but the phrasing is quite nice

[EgoTailTRAILCIRCLE]

They go together both nicely =D

[shabadaows]

sound very good my friend !

[olbapmarba]

From Buenos Aires Argentina...

Good Heart's playing Man! I'm thinking about buying a 57' or 62'. ¿What can you tell me about 7,25 radius? ¿Is it difficult for bendings? ¿Must the strings has to be very high to avoid cancellation? ¿Difficult for Slide?

Thank you veru much.-

[texasflood93]

SOUL! now theres something lacking in modern music...you have plenty of it. kudos.

[ConFuoco88]

Very competent playing, my fried. Enjoyed every minute of it. Keep them coming.

[testou34]

great solo man!!!! goooddd blues

[adam327901]

all in the fingers

[CamelClass]

Great playing, may I suggest lowering the gain and pulling up the master instead. Strats just need some power tube distortion to sound good when overdriven.

[ftele]

~Nice bends...lots of character to those notes...~~

[monkface]

Perhaps someone already mentioned this but isn't the song "You can leave your hat on" by Joe Cocker? At least this arrangement if he didn't write the song! Not born under a bad sign even though it has the same groove. Still great playing anyway!

[bloozelover]

you are right i wasnt paying attention but that is you can leave your hat on

[fretscapex]

that last post was a response to the marshall basher earlier on

[fretscapex]

Great tone and great playing! It really annoys me to see people posting comments like "marshall's suck", or tell you that you have to learn more scales. Grow up people! If you don't like what this guy's doing then just keep your mouth shut. He didn't ask for your opinion. Marshall's don't suck, ignorant people do!

[PinkFloydrulez]

too good

[cacophonybecker]

the Fender Strat practically spawned the blues

[Stratsire]

check your facts

[JimiPlaysWoodstock]

Yeah , I love it.

Peace.

[LPFan3118]

This is the sound of the BLUES!

[jimprocter83]

thats fantastic, dude! and just outta curiousity id love to see (hear!) what you could with my SG and AC30 basic setup.

[Danielpoole2006]

when you do those really short licks...sounds like allbert collins...the song kinda sounds like iceman (collins) even tho its a cream song.

what year was this fine guitar made?

btw, your playing great!

[texasflood93]

Your phrasing is definitely on par with Albert King/SRV...which is very hard to achieve. 5/5

[guitarhero5601]

Sounds like Eric Clapton .Very good job man!

[SteveFEn7DER]

very,very good

[diegoguitar2]

good!!!

[Johnbilben]

whether you guys think marshall are ford equivalents are whatever the fuck, you'd be a dumb motherfucker to sit here and tell me that this tone is bad. Is full of sustain and its thick and fat with just enough highs to cut.

[studiointernnigga]

Marshall amps suck, they are the Ford of guitar amps, over-rated, mass produced and cheap sounding. The tone isn't that nice.

I'll take Orange anyday, better tone and more presence.

And of course the best guitar in the world, the Hi-watt High Gain 100.

[legggomyego]

I think Orange is also wayyy overpriced for the sound. I like Hiwatt though.

Fuck Marshall though. And the rest of corporate 'america' too.

[Longhorn2X]

Marshall's are made in the UK...

[gibsonrippa]

why the fuck do u think people use marshalls if they dont like the sound?? pretty much every good rock band uses them!

[fretscapex]

Here's a prime example of an ignorant person! The tone isn't that nice? Everyone else here seems to disagree with that. Oh and how bout I tell you that Orange and Hi-Watt suck? What possible reason could I base this statement on? NONE! You're an idiot.

[orangewizard]

Thing is...Marshalls are all over the board.Some of them ARE mass produced crap.But some,like the JTM 45,have produced some of the finest tones ever heard on rock,and blues records!Nothing wrong with wanting one,but just do your research.

[piepou]

great :)

[DaanJM]

You really got the blues!! But I suggest you to learn more than 2 patterns of the penatonic scale, so you can play in more than 2 positions.

[jgood94]

sounds nice what are you playing through?

[Connerdale]

can someone tell me what is so great about a '57 strat? what did fender do to it that year?

[madjdnnfjjmfmf]

Even though I'd kill to have a pre-CBS era Strat I've often wondered (as far as tone goes) how much better it is compared to modern American strats or even a Mexican Strat. They are the real deal though.

[wallis222]

Solid alder body (not 2 or 3 pieces glued together), fabulous pickups, nice thin maple neck, bone nut, nickle plated hardware. It was the epitome of the maple neck Strat, after which they just made it worse. It was perfect, but to sell more guitars they had to advertise "new imporvements". The 1962 Strat, on the other hand, is the epitome of the rosewood fret board strat; but the same thing happend to it.

CHECK OUT MY '57

[vthokie900]

hell yeah vintage strat, tubes, marshall amp

good to fuckin go

[nba9515]

born under a bod song. good election

how mmuch does it cost the amp??

[StratDen]

I really like the '57AVRI Strats! Good job and thanks for sharing....

[mullbenkt]

I really like your tone! Very expressive.

[RHCPfan]

Awesome tone and playing! What Marshall are you using though?

[scrumpymanjack]

Very nice guitar work. I really like the phrasing - lots of space and you hit just the right notes when it matters. I'm going to leave work early to go home to rip this solo off and pretend it's mine. Hahaha

[mybossisadipshit]

damn dude! nice!

[ShotGunRoleModel]

Isn't it amazing that 'older' sounding guitars sound real fuckin tight and newer guitars you have to really try to search out for that 'sound ' and feel? I like the 50's and 60's strats. I think they sound the best. The 70's ones I didn't really get a good feel for. These just sound so much better.

[BONGUSTHEDOG]

good touch...congratulations!

[flyfish777]

good, but thicken it up a litle, great job..

[todomusika]

nice feel dude!!

[jezus1989]

hey man

love your sound

i have a jap fender jaguar but i would like to put some humbuckers in for a heavier sound can anyone give me some tipps on what pick-ups i should buy

thanks heaps!

[rama6maiden]

if you like stuufs like zakk wylde,kerry king or kirk hammet you should buy a pair of emgs or if you like dimebag but bill lawrence and if you like adrian smith buy dimarzio super distortion!!

[infernalhammer]

You may not need them. American Jaguar replacement pickups are good with overdriven amps. You may try switching out the 1meg volume pot for 500K or 250K. That will take some harshness off the top.

[wallis222]

Thats a tasty strat tone Peter. Check mine out if you get the chance. Its a 1957 as well.

[samguitarmurphy]

the backing track is the robben ford version of born under a bad sign isn't it?

very nice sound and playing!

[HawkKI4HEE]

Sweet Licks...I'm playing this one over n over to get them down. I have a 86 vintage '57 reissue I havent played it in about 5 years...gotta a lot of catching up to do. Thanks for posting a great video!

[eyechord]

cool bad sign, no? what do I win?

[jordno]

this is the next guitar im gonna buy it around £1000 and closest im gonna get to a real 57 love the nitro finish so after few years hopefully be a good looking relic :D nice playing man

[kar98ksniper]

nice dude.you have soul on your playing

[mizbam204]

my granny is better than u

[MrPootPoot]

Yeah but she's dead so she doesn't count. LMAO

[6sling]

cool, man! Clappo fan? :)

[21devon98]

it would be funny if all 6 strings flew off

[jdmpimpz]

it would also be funny if your jokes made sense

[salvadorhzmj23]

yeah jokes that dont make sense for some odd reason dont make me laugh!! lol

[ZachThePillager]

Is that an ACTUAL 57 strat, or a reissue?

[DoctorNumber46]

too clean to be a real 57'

[ZachThePillager]

I've seen a couple REALLY clean ones.

Then again I doubt this guy has 20000 to throw around.

[DoctorNumber46]

it would be way more than 20,000, more like 200,000. But that's probably what you meant to say anyway.

[GmIaBrScOoN]

your sound was so smooth starting at :35

any pedals in use?

[fpcrunner]

He switches to his neck pickup, watch his picking hand.
