John Jorgenson - Solo Acoustic

[busessuck1]

... I think it's pretty funny how when you search a modern artist it's always a video with shit audio

@busessuck1

Dude, it was just a Canon Digital camera. I wasn't recording an album. Live with it.

[busessuck1]

@Anglewood88 it wasn't a dig at you, just the way it is...

[vonalxao1]

@busessuck1 Yeah, cunt!



[busessuck1]

@vonalxao1 what?

[jonmennella]

beautifully crafted song

[rafapak]

do they ever play three notes per string solo runs in gypsy jazz or they rather stick to two notes per string runs? Can you help me in this matter?

[tadsharpe]

gypsy jazz guitars use SILK ON STEEL strings. the chords are jazz chords, and the guitars sound SPECIFICALLY like that, low sustain on purpose.

[hewgor]

@tadsharpe

No, The most popular gypsy strings are Savarez Argentine, Silver plated Copper wound.

Due to the longer scale on the selmer guitars, the strings are thin, 010-045/011-046.

[danielflasher95]

hey, i know it might sound a bit dumb, but, does that guitar use different strings or tuning?

[qwerrik]

the name of this piece anyone????

[8shon8]

ho yes is beriful

[ElAqero]

What is this solo called? is there any written and preferably free sheet/tab music out there for it?

[keary18]

one really needs to listen to his other work in the gypsy jazz style, and he has dvds on learning gypsy jazz style; this is a beautiful solo, and it is definitely gypsy style, it's not a piece of cake... And he plays with the best of the gypsies....

[ricdeed]

...just OK. This guy's not really a gypsy style guitaist, there are so many mindbogglingly amazing gypsy style guitarists out there this seemed pretty basic.

[vikingmerijn]

Fine, then go back to your 3-chord simplemindedness...

[sachary]

awesome, ending seemed a little silly but the playing was just full of emotion and taste :-)

[beatfries]

I thought the ending was great!

[sarahemilies]

Thank-you for sharing this video. This brings back special memories as I was at this concert sitting in the front row. This is the guitar solo from a new song he is recording with orchestra nashville called Istiqbal Gathering.

[Anglewood88]

Thanks for the song name, I couldn't quite remember it. BTW, I was right behind you in the second row. That was a great show.

[Gadjo88]

nice...
