very early-jazz guitar

[Dalsia]

Very nice playing! I love your tone. May I ask how you achieved it? I use a Gibson ES-175 out of several Fender amps (acoustic, blues deluxe, and just a regular deluxe), but I can never achieve a mellow tone unless I put my tone knob down to 1 or 2. When I do that, though, my sound overall is very mucky.

@Dalsia I Checked out your videos, your tone sounds good to me. I find that there's a lot of "the grass is always greener" aspect to tone. Put another way, one hears one own sound more critically than other's.

@Dalsia Do you wear headphones when you play? If you don't wear headphones, you will hear the acoustic sound and the pick sound. I like that sound, but it doesn't sound as "mellow" as it does if you are in the audience.

That's how it works with me, anyway.

cool

[StandardSam1]

Great stuff.... really liked it. Do you listen to any Ed Bickert or Lorne Lofsky. You share a similar feel.

[fishqwer]

@StandardSam1 +1 for great Torontonian guitarists!

[sclogse1]

My impression is that the sound is getting EQ'd to kill the highs, but not based on the amp output, pickup or strings...it's the way it was recorded. It's definitely got the tone turned all the way down...

You think solo playing is too much work...try being a rhythm guitarist....

"very early-jazz guitar" Better be the name of what your playing, and not the style of Jazz guitar your playing. Other than that, nice job.

[thechallengeresponse]

If you read the description you will see that this is a solo arrangement of 'Very Early' performed by Bill Evans.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Oh, but do you know how to play like Eddie Lang?

[fagussan]

thank you

beautiful playing man! I listen to jazz online radio all the time when i write, but watching someone play like that is something else. perform much?

[fibrationboy]

Thanks for the compliment. I perform some, not a whole lot, usually when I get calls for pick up gigs. Solo playing is too much work!

[abafo6]

i love this .

[JazzyDave]

Very nice...is that a Heritage?

[fibrationboy]

yep. I just changed the pickup and had a refret done, I'll post some new video once I get around to it (I've got some new audio with the new pup at my soundclick site) It sounds much better and plays better too.

[diz52nd]

Man, that tone is nice...Zoom pedal, really?

[chezfernand]

Me encanta como te suena la guitarra, tienes un sonido precioso, yo tengo una Heritage Eagle, pero tu pickup es heritage o lo has cambiado??

[fibrationboy]

Thanks. I used a zoom pedal with a USB cable right into the computer for this take, no amp. I use flatwounds, 11-50 Daddario chromes.

[gretscher]

Awesome playing. Beautiful tone and sound and beautiful guitar. What amp do you play thru? Do you use flatwound or roundwound strings?
