"Cool Beans" with PRS Hollowbody II

[StereoDeth]

Beautiful, mellow tone!

[TheDanjoAZ]

Sounds great. Nice tone and tasty playing. I have a few PRS guitars and I was checking this out to see what the Hollowbody II sounded like. Clean tone is great!

[countroshculla]

Way cool dude. I like it a lot.

[infinitedesire123]

the hb2 is absolutely great for jazz. it blews away any gibson semihollow. btw: great solo!

[afsartori]

@quickle007 Awesome song, man! I'd like to have this mp3 in my jazz collection for sure. How much does this guitar cost? I fell in love with it after discovering that besides the two humbucking pickups it has also piezoelectric pickups for acoustic sound. That's perfect!

[afsartori]

Nice tone and nice playing!

[Ganther100]

Nice playing. Are those PRS archtop or 245 pickups.

[quickle007]

@Ganther100 Hi, they are archtop pickups.

[JamaisMEC]

How wonderful! Congratulations on your PRS hollowbody as well as your recording, which sounds so polished/professional. I plan to pop in a PRS 57/08 neck p/up in my current jazz box....I'm so impressed with them (after having tried the very same guitar you're playing here).

[iTzNoxy]

That lick from 1:13 to 1:16 sounds so good over those chords.

[stratboy8]

Nice tone and lovely playing. Great stuff...

[rmoraespinto]

Many tks again, for clarifying... I was just looking at a Danelectro Top 10 micro amp... Would you believe that?

[rmoraespinto]

Thank you for answering, quickle. I am ordering a HDII... definitively! Now... what is a Tone 10? Tks. again...

[quickle007]

@rmoraespinto Sorry, I mean the position of tone knob. 10 means full. Both 10 and 0 sound good :-)

[JamaisMEC]

@quickle007 wow...your improv from 1:36 through 1:47 was juicy, dude!

[JamaisMEC]

@quickle007 wow...your improv from 1:36 through 1:47 was juicy, dude! But there are so many to single out...you've got "it" man!

[rmoraespinto]

Excellent playing and demo. Thank you! Incidentally, I am considering buying one of those PRS Hollowbody IIs... How's the clean sound coming out of the neck PU? Do you think it is good for jazz?

[quickle007]

@rmoraespinto It IS good for JAZZ. The tone in this song is from Front PU and Tone 10. It is jazzy, isn't it? Furthermore, Tone 0 is quite interesting. Please try it! Hollobody II is a great guitar.

[JPguitarchannel]

I love your songs. It's fantastic!!

[FullMetalTrucker]

Mellow. On par with George Benson. I'm remembering this one!

[quickle007]

@gamehunter015 Thank you for the comment. Yes it IS my original song .

[carlos13190]

so beautifull

[LeoClassical]

COOL ! do u have ur own recordings? i whish 2 have

[BaaMooSki]

Wonderful. Interesting and clever but not a bit pretentious.Bravo!

[NR2112]

L.O.V.E - I.T

Badass...

[KutWrite]

What's the background? Did you multi-track it or get it somewhere?

[quickle007]

@KutWrite Thanks for the interest. All the tracks are played or programmed by myself. DAW I use is SONAR. Drums VSTi is Toontrack EZdrummer.

[adrian5b]

FAKE

Just kidding, I loved it. Thumb up for you.

[Grooveitman]

Very nice song and playing!! I also own a HBII, very good instrument. What strings are you using in it? The support center told me not to even try flatwound strings or I`d ruin the sound and the neck, that pissed me off. You are using rounds, right?

[quickle007]

@Grooveitman: I have never tried the flat wound strings. I use D'Addario EXL115, .011-.049, 3rd string is plain. Anyway I cannot believe the answer of CS.

[timpiegitaar]

Hi there, great tone and tune! I'm thinking about buying a Hollowbody II as well, but I was wondering how the "semi-distorted" tones are (a la Carlton)... Any thoughts?

[quickle007]

@timpiegitaar: Thanks for your interest. Such a tone you say can be easily obtained by using tube oriented overdrive item, I think. I'm using BOSS OD-1 which has quite a good matching to this guitar. If you have an interest, please come to my homepage and try to listen to a song "9 o'clock am". In this song, I use OD-1 from 1'01".

[Ploatic]

Amazing guitar, i also love that blue, great playing!

[keaulana1]

great tone!

[empoeta]

wow, awesome tone

[quickle007]

@empoeta :Thank you very much.

[PorchDinkey]

love your tone and style!

[quickle007]

Thank you!

[imhuy]

This song sounds very familiar! I don't know why but I can't put my finger on it. It's like a song from the beginning of a happy video game.. or Friends the tv show.

[quickle007]

Thanks. Actually I composed this song in very short time. So, the melody is quite straight ahead.

[jnkhd]

This is some sweet playing.

[quickle007]

I'm happy to hear it.

[dropout111]

great tone! greetings from italy

[quickle007]

Thank you!

[ChordCluster]

Yes Man!  Really tasteful playing!

[quickle007]

Thank you very much. Please watch my video next time too.

[bobagentofhydra]

Cool Beans Brother!!! I so want a PRS hollowbody. You should make a vidoe using the piezo pick up

[quickle007]

Thanks.

Regarding the piezo, it's interesting. I will think about upload that video.

[Grooveitman]

Nice playing, pal. I also own a prs hbII, it`s a very good instrument. Regards.

[quickle007]

You own one! Happy to hear that. It's really good in both the sound and the playability.

[matbluesman]

on which scale are you improvising from 0:30 to 0:50?

[quickle007]

Interesting question, thanks.

The notes are

F G Ab Bb C D E F

That can be called F melodic minor, maybe.

But I don't know :-)

[matbluesman]

thanks! I'll try it! awesome guitar and playing!

[Shadoweblast]

this is nice. sounds like the music from a video game when you beat the level or win the game. like from sonic or mario.

[quickle007]

ha ha. I didn't image the game music. but I feel happy that you pointed this song as a fun music. thanks

[Timotheedle]

that was really nice. I'm looking into getting a prs hopefully soon, very possibly the hollowbody 1 or 2

[quickle007]

Thanks for the comment. It's a really nice guitar. Get it!

[Timotheedle]

one day for sure!

[trotters5]

awesome!!what PRS is it?

[quickle007]

It is just 'PRS Hollowbody II'.

Thanks for the comment.

[thailemartin]

your playing style like Lee Ritenour.

Keep up man.

[quickle007]

Thank you for the comment.

[EDS2314]

[Benjammin169]

Really nice job, on a really sweet axe.

[quickle007]

Thanks for the warm comment.

[pacoolea70]

Man, that`s great and very beautiful. Is that hollowbody II completely stock, are those archtops pickups?

[quickle007]

Yes. It is completely stock and I made no modification on it. In detail, I will write in a personal message.

Thanks.

[kdc300z]

are you using some type of band composition software to create backtracks? thanks

[quickle007]

I'm using SONAR for the recording and MIDI programming. No particular composition tools.

[kdc300z]

I aspire to play like you one day! That was great.

[quickle007]

Thank you for viewing it. And sorry for the unspectacular video.

[kdc300z]

video is perfect. I was staring at your finger work and listening to how dynamic your picking and finesse. Amazing.
