Excellent playing... is that standard tuning?

[borrowmeadolla]

Again....You have a VERY special J45....I kept waiting for the "Do You Feel Like I Do"...its so vocal it reminds me of Framptons Talk Box....beautiful

[danihj86]

holy shit dude, your awesome

[jhankri]

This is a J-45 doing what it was born to do. Awesome.

[Purpleleader1]

Brilliant! I really like the vibe of this one.. Very cool played on a beautiful sounding guitar. Rock on

[bmw032394]

Loved it!

[blu13579]

scusa se ti scrivo in italiano ma mi sembra di aver capito che questo pezzo l'hai inventato tu vero???..grazie number one

[RASHARU]

I can't explain why, but I really enjoy your energetic "bouncy" style of play. It inspires me to have more fun myself. Thanks.

[richardc1972cowboy]

@RASHARU thanks a lot for the nice comment

[tonyburn10]

@richardc1972cowboy Very nice tune, I like your style of play , I spent a lot of time researching the J45 Custom before buying one and wondered why everyone, including you, moves a lot when playing them, now I know, they inspire you to put everything into them because they sound amazing and seem to be alive when you play them. I live about six hundred miles from the nearest quality guitar shop ( really) and your vid helped me choose this superb instrument , many thanks, Tony

[TankDriverOriginal]

@RASHARU Yeah, me too! 8-D This easy and improvising style is not bad.

[Pfiesteria42]

What Tuning Is This In? It's Just Inspired Me..It's Beautiful.

[richardc1972cowboy]

@Pfiesteria42 thanks. tuning er...its one I found ! Don't knwo what it is - will post another vid. soon showing how to tune to it

[borrowmeadolla]

@richardc1972cowboy well where is it man!? lol

[borrowmeadolla]

@richardc1972cowboy You ever gonna give us that video of your tunings? I been waiting since this comment was left! lol

[superleague100]

beautifull..

[wanda0211]

good job!! also I want to ask is the nut width is 1.725" or 1.75"?Thanks

[browser007200]

Richard that sounds fantastic unplugged,what springs you wearing 12's and make please, I am now going from a songwriter to J45 - whats the neck like please as I am old guy learning, thanks John UK

[richardc1972cowboy]

@browser007200 see my earlier reply to this Q.

[browser007200]

Richard lovely sound and playing,what strings are you using please?also I am going to buy a new guitar on a trip to us,have you tried a gibson songwriter deluxe standar, I hear the necks are brilliant and all help in playing is useful as I am 60 now and can strum but want to develop as reitred and have anew teacher to help pentatonic scales etc. cheers john

[richardc1972cowboy]

@browser007200 I use Elixir Custom Light Acoustic strings. Expensive, but worth it. Don't know about the songwriter deluxe never played one. If you're learning it goes without saying - buy a Guitar that is relatively easy to play. A tough guitar that 'fights back' will only put you off . J-45 is a dream to play ( I think) and it sounds great so even as you learn you will like what you hear. Good luck with it!

[joshbaezmusic]

awesome playing man! and awesome room for your guitars! keep it up :)

[MegaJeezus]

Hey SWEEEEET job man. Love your tune. And your guitar

[ildedoni]

Hi Richard, nice playing man!!

I've just bought a j45 rosewood (2004) and I'm having a hard time to get a nice sound out of it. It's sounding good when I'm fingerpicking but way too bright with a pic. Is it a characteristic of the RW j45 to sound metalic? I had a standard one a couple of years ago and for what I remember it was much more woody. I'm considering going back to the standard. Might be the strings I'm using (earnie ball super slink phosphor bronze 11)?

Thanks a lot.

[adrianscally]

That's a gorgeous piece of playing man. Cheers.

[Bottleneck66]

What year is your guitar, do you know?

[Leidlf]

Hi

I have the same guitar :)

I have been playing for about 4-5 years now. Only acoustic gitar and I just bought myself an electric (fender road worn).

I really like the way you play. You have some really nice, and fast finger movement in between the chords.

Does that come from practicing solos/scales on electric guitar?

think I really need to get started with that.

Any tips on practising that?

[richardc1972cowboy]

I would advise oyu practice playing lead (scales, solos etc.) on acoustic - when you swtich to electric it will be much easier then. Acoustic will build your hand strength. Speed comes from practising scales, hammer ons hammer offs etc. Thats my view anyway. Good luck with it

[mikebrownonline]

i remember diss'ing one of your amp videos....but i like that j45

im torn between that and a hummingbird mmmm did you play both?

[richardc1972cowboy]

Nope, never played a hummingbird Mike, like the look of them though

[bradubow]

rosewood or mahogany back?

[richardc1972cowboy]

rosewood

[jameus4]

area rug or something on the walls I think would help your recordings. I have a martin hd28v, thinking about getting a j45.

[wendellpeek]

Pretty nice sounding 45 you got there, yourself, bro....cool tune!

I dug the slide-intro, btw...

[johnsmithqqq]

nice!

[skyegoose]

Wonderful playing, very refreshing and different.

And a wonderful guitar, too.

Would you mind sharing the tuning with us?

Keep up the smashingly excellent work!

[richardc1972cowboy]

open g tuning

[skyegoose]

@richardc1972cowboy Thanks a lot :-)

[SimonNielsenMusic]

Loved the playing, love your guitar!

What type of Gibson J-45 is that exactly? I'm seriously thinking about getting one but don't know which version - but I gotta say, from watching this video I want yours! Is that a Rosewood model?

What do you think about people who say the newer Gibson's don't sound as good? I think your video just proved that wrong - that guitar is magic.

What strings/guage do you use?

[richardc1972cowboy]

Thank You. Newer Gibons don't sound as good? Don't know about that. I like mine though. It's a Rosewood model. If you treat her nice , play her a lot and sings songs with her, everything will work out just grand...

[simonfowler81]

New j-45 sounds esactly as the 60's and 70's J-45 only the wood need to became older....but I hope you can find the time to play a new J-45 for many many years...trust me...

[aeflint]

good work.

[xch3rrix]

i totaly just died n went to heaven ! wow

[moliba11]

excellent !

youre guitar is a must

!!!!!

[richardc1972cowboy]

thank you. guitar all but plays itself..

[3w3tube]

man, get that great big neck munching capo off, and use a jim dunlop!!! some great playing there though

[sebastianGy]

Veeeeery inspiring

keep up the good work :)

[sebastianGy]

I ment that there is missing something in you're music

Butt it is still great dont worry :)

peace

yours seba

[sebastianGy]

I really love you're acoustic compositions

this song makes me happy

i think you should play in a band or sing or something like that

i find you're music very good but i think it would be better with singin or harmonica or something

Yours Seba

[richardc1972cowboy]

Not in standard, in some tuning I found one time, don;t know what it's called. Thanks for the comment. This is just an improvised instrumental, but worked out well I think. I've been playing for just under 20 years

[Fuse06]

That's cool.

Wow. 20 years. Didn't expect that. I've only been playing about 6 months.

But your playin is inspirational.

[Fuse06]

Wow man, absolutely stunned.

I also liked the video titled Gibson J-45 Rosewood.

How long you been playing? Is this all in standard?
