Sixteen Twenty-five - acoustic and slide guitar duet

[Houseplanman]

Wow, I really like the sound of that Strat!! It has a very deep, pleasing sound, without being way over done.

[zzXjimmiXzz]

what software do you use to edit your video? just out of interest

[planetalk]

@zzXjimmiXzz ... Adobe Premiere.

[crazycool1128]

does the lesson include the mp3 of the complete duet or just the mp3 of the accompaniment?

[planetalk]

@crazycool1128 ... yes, it does.

[planetalk]

@crazycool1128 ... both, I'm pretty sure. I can certainly make either available to you.

[juffurey]

very nice, the slide part kind of beck-sounding.  except without the whammy bar. the tone too. nice classical technique approach to blues, usually u only see classically trained guitarists play metal

[SONGSTICKS]

What can I say...Stunningly good !!!

I love the sound you're getting from the strat.

What effect are you using on that please?

Thanks for that musical offering..a real treat for everyone.

[planetalk]

@SONGSTICKS ... Thanks, mate. I use a bit of overdrive and reverb.

[weenerdoggs]

You are a superb player! Thanks so much!

[bloodtypebloodtype]

thats the best duet ive ever heard in my life.

and im a guitar teacher

[planetalk]

@bloodtypebloodtype ... thanks so much for dropping by, listening and leaving such nice feedback.

[diego25br]

thats beautiful man, congratulations

[shesaidskyline]

Does anybody know wich acoustic guitar that is ?

[planetalk]

@shesaidskyline ... that's my Ayers acoustic.

[42hiker]

Not usually a fan of slide but this is beautiful! Original song you say? Anywhere I can buy or download it?

[rungej]

beautiful..

[tigerbright22]

Kirk, if you see this, can I ask why it's called "Sixteen Twenty Five"? I understand if not. When I get me an Ayers some time, and can play a lot better, I'll have to learn this tune.

[planetalk]

Hi, tigerbright22 ... the main theme is a I vi ii V progression. 1625 ... sixteen twenty-five. I wasn't feeling too poetic the day I named it!

[tigerbright22]

lol I don't even know what one of those is yet! But thanks, and it's a lovely piece. One of my favourite pieces of music.

[tigerbright22]

Gorgeous.

[art11art12]

I just stumbled on this....this made my morning. You rock man, I wish I studied learning guitar when I was younger.

[dalevizos340]

Excellent

[adamlee2180]

good stuff...:)

[abdulahad1]

absolutely fantastic! and so easy listening... yet am guessing its pretty hard to create that feel... whats the tone parameters you're using dude? how do you make it so sweet? can i set it up on my podXT or does it require specific gear?

[lwebb10]

This is absolutely 100% the type of music that educates even grandma to like a little distortion in the chapel. Lovely Kirk - words cannot comment - The Ayer's sounds so warm, it's got a rock in the desert named after it !

[orphee225]

c'est beau ! tres melodieux

[pabzum]

Excellent! 5*

[Arthenia92]

this is gorgeous.

[TeleKeith]

KIRK,

How is your action pretty high on the Strat??? I don't have as good control over my slide with my Tele.

[planetalk]

The action is pulled up a bit by the heavy strings I use (16 - 18 - 24 - 4 - 44 - 54), but it's not really all that high. I am able to play it normally without any trouble, although bending is not easy.

[TeleKeith]

ah.... heavy's. :) that makes all the difference. Thanks!

[Kanna120]

This song is amazing =D

[srwojas79]

which reverb?

[Fierosk8er]

dude that shit was tight....nice guitars too...

[robbourassaguitarist]

Great job. You are a great player, and teacher.

[dern89]

badass guys!

[originalreal]

awesome!

[3117ss]

Great playing as always! So glad to hear you're still at it.

Hope you and family are doing just fine. Mr. Blues from

Santa Fe says hi! TWANG ON ==============

[jimdoire]

Hi Kirk - Awesome! Your slide phrasing sounded Jeff Beck-ian (if there isn't such a word, there is now). Could you give a quick run down on your Strat and amp set up? String quage, pickup type, any pedals, amp type. It seems so dynamic. You cool off on your attack and becomes clean but I notice when you lean into it, it dirty's up perfectly. Like at 2:34. You get this amazing tone with an ever so slight break up. I'm guessing your playing at room volume. Again awesome song and amazing tone.

[DamianNixon]

good sounds and a good mix. Thanks laddies.D.

[martinaxman]

Very pretty tune. The tone on that strat is really sweet as is the acoustic. You know that slide. Nicely done.

[Qpidon]

Dear Kirk,

You have no idea how much I enjoyed this. The entire piece is like Honey for my ears. Its just gorgeous.

What a absolute blast listening to your play!!

From my heart,

Pascal

[matzac97]

nice slide. ;-)

[BlindLemonJR]

Man Kirk, Your a god in the slide industries.

[ardentoctopus]

Fantastic!!! I truly enjoyed every note, Split screen was a great way to watch it.
