[66kootsa]

I don't know squat about guitars, still I like this rendition. added to favorites .

[tjdohner]

i love this guitar. thinking about purchasing one. just not into the gold hardware for some reason

[yellowpaper61]

thats so cool dude!!!

[bhebrews1214]

killin man!!!

[BacEgChsBis]

Great tone, what kind of tube screamer are you using?

[rickso12]

Nice job,

[mikesk8sk8]

turn distortion off !

[somiberico]

@mikesk8sk8 Distortion is great...Past and present...Duke Ellington, Miles and all the great ones were open to new sounds and music....

[osensei2987]

@somiberico Really! Distortion is not a new sound for jazz. I know purists won't like it. But allow me to explain what I mean. Jazz has always been dominated by horns. Horns have sustain out the whazoo (because they are wind instruments) and also can string together nice long legato phrases. Historically, clean jazz guitars lacked these traits and could not compete with horns. Distortion and sustain allowed guitars to phrase like horns for the first time.

[somiberico]

@osensei2987 Of course i know, and i agree. I play for many years, in rock, jazz, fusion, and besides the legato effect, so dear to guitar players, i love sonic explorers, like the first great one Jimmy Hendrix, Bill Frisell and others. For me the most important thing is music, sound is each musicians voice..

[smartwood11]

yeah man that was good!!

[ibnikez]

Sounds really good, jazzy, love it! LOVE IT! If I were to die tommorrow, I'd rather listen to Sco.

[orlandoCF1]

You sound great man, not to mention that your Epi's tone is astounding. I've been tempted to buy one instead I bought the Dot Studio and modified it. You've convinced me to go on and get the Sheraton ll. PEACE. What are you using for overdrive?

[SirHuckenden]

yeah, all the new epiphones are made in china and are shite

[xenotoxette]

Holy hell I love the low end of that guitar... I wish I hada bass that sounded like that.

[19marita90]

israel soy maria moreta una alumna tuya que tuviste en la escuela de edith!!!q tal todo??yo muy bien estudiando arte drmatico y sigo con canto...

donde se te puede ver actuar??un beso

[mlowack]

***** ! Tell me some one: Is this the (cheap) Sheraton II or the Elitist ??? I must have this guitar!

[perobuenoisrael]

yeah it's the cheap one.

[mlowack]

Great! Thanks for your answer, Israel. I nearly bought a gibson ES 335 for five times the money loosing my economy. Don´t ever need more than the Epi sounds. But, they aren´t availible at the moment in Germany, have to wait. Keep on rockin´, Martin.

[mwmolloy]

yes i also have the sheraton II - its a fine guitar. sounds amazing, plays ok. thats my review.

[mlowack]

Now i ordered one from online store and she came Made in china instead of korea and completely out of order. So I send it back, I´m through with Epiphone.

[osensei2987]

What year did they move to China? I have an Epi that I bought in 2006 and it rocks! Anytime you move factories though your going to have production and quality issues do to the retooling and retraining of the workforce.

To be honest I'm really damned tired of US companies offshoring every job they can and expecting laid of American workers to buy their shit! As far as I'm concerned they are a foreign company!

[kbilbou]

hi i was wondering if this guitar is also good stuff like wes montgomery and george benson. thanx please reply

[osensei2987]

Yes, Considering I can play the same styles convincingly on my Les Paul which is a mahogany solid body. Any hollow or semi hollow with humbuckers will most likely give you the tone you're looking for.

Honestly, I think its more about the player than the equipment. But assuming you are a great player some guitars will get you closer to the authentic tone.

Once you can hear the subtle differences in guitars however you will naturally gravitate to the ones that do the best job though!

[G36n]

I think it really is (its not perfect cause its not full hollow body, it's semi-hollow,so it means its best of the both worlds),

check other utube videos that have the clean jazz sound that you are looking for with this guitar.You can get that sound with proper strings, amp , amp settings cables and FINGER TOUCH with this guitar :)

[mwmolloy]

I totally agree - this is a guitar that sounds like $5,000 of axe and plays ok. just ok. not bad not great. I had the whole guitar set up incl. fret dressing (they use a laser to look down the neck and tap in the frets to correct hight with a hammer) for $140. well worth it. now it plays 'better than ok'. all in all its an amazing axe for the money - even for metal or whatever.

[leoblack97]

sera barata su guitarra, pero sus dedos cotizan muy bien!

Saludos.

[csabika]

This is very cool man!! yeahhh

[csabika]

are the bass and the drums jamie aebersold??? if you can send me this please write me

[hermesw]

great fusion tone!

[SverdDKS]

Nice playing.. But would sound a lot more jazzy with thicker strings and a clean amp sound - in MY opinion :D But again, nice playing ..

[jkidd05a]

incredible playing...i really like your sound..would you recommend some jazz guitar lesson book(about theory, patterns or anything else)which you have practiced with? thanx-

[costaricangeneral]

really like the sound... is it just tube screamer or did u mix it with some amp overdrive? Cool sound kind of the direction I want to move in musically, you know... want to expand my musical tastes to blend different styles to make my own...

[punkedassboy]

one tip lower ur guitar strpa its to high but ths jus my opinion

[blackfireINSANITY]

You can't spell proficiently. Just my opinion.

[BanaanTV]

higher strap plays better.

[thezeppelin62]

That's personal preference.

[iyanou]

[hippiesruleon]

[Chordwayze]

Shredding gives me the cramps too! That's why I don't do it these days! Great chops... Keep it going.

John

[JohnMayer07]

that was an amazing example of a classy jazz-shred. you don't have to be a metal-head to play the speed game.

[rabradek]

badass

[contrerasrojas]

gracias hermano... tengo que tocar en 2 dias y me diste muy buenas ideas para este tema que la verdad me tenia confundido en cuanto a la linea que podia darle. exelente ejecucion y buenisimo sonido.

[LP4321]

Are they stock pickups?

[perobuenoisrael]

yes they are!

[henrio70]

this is sick. are you making records or something?

[Metalhedd5150]

Sounds badass. By the way, we have the exact same name. Rock on.

[S0ulja23]

Sounds pretty good! What amp are you using the Sheraton through?

[perobuenoisrael]

behringer ultratwin 210

[angelagjazz]
