Centrifugal Funk, So What, Jake Reichbart - Guitar, jazz rock funk fusion jam

[MrOrmus777]

Wicked playing Jake, I heard about you from Derryl Gabel, I'm glad I checked your videos!

[callasexperience]

Hi Jake, I really think you you should concentrate on the modern jazz rock stuff as you have a great natural feel for it, don't you realise? too many players out there? so.what , there are thousands of guitar players out there who would love to hear more of it, so keep at it.. Anyway, great stuff

[GJmusique]

Thanks! I have 3 very recent videos in this general style with much better sound quality, please check them out.

[lvanhalen]

Real good if I didnt see your face I would think Frank Gambale.You make it look real easy I like your style.

[jreichbart]

That's a real nice compliment but of course I have much to learn and practice before I can be even mentioned in the same sentence as FG... Thanks!

[Johnson0118]

You look bored most of the time? Skill? Haha.

Good stuff.

[Stanislaviashvili]

Centrifugal Funk -  this is a super project. My favorite

[ChocloManx]

your distorted sound is like allan holdsworth if he playted funk :P

I like.

[torturer6067]

nice! any chanc to get the backing?

[ashpall2]

Great phrasing!

[jareds1007]

it's funny...because you can take that distortion...which seems over compressed...or like it might lack sustain....and make it sound really, really good.....that's a tell tale sign of good technique....I hear everything thing you're saying! good stuff.

[stevecraignet]

@jareds1007 Jake, I'm not sure what jareds is saying about the distortion, but I wholeheartedly agree that you make it sound really, really good!

Um... does your fingerboard heat up when you do those superfast riffs? Seems like it would.

Fantastic!!

[jareds1007]

@stevecraignet ...the distortion sounds like it only works if you're attacking a note...and note a whole ton of sustain.....so he must have awesome attacky phrasing...funky stuff....that fits here...and probably everywhere he uses it...he's really good...sorry to be confusing but you have to listen to a lot to hear a non fancy distortion get used so well like this.

[MrBlueEyes123]

This is great man!!! impressive

[hardhatarea]

Very nice playing, but I don't like your sound

[Shogun777]

what would you prefer

[quesapa]

You rock, man!! 5*****

[pk978675]

Badass man!!!!

[wildbobbb]

greast stuff!!! I'll record some jam with this backing track too! You're a great guitarist, dude! Especially like the finger picking parts! :-)

[Vortimid]

If you had more attack, you would be a very interesting joe satriani alternative.

Nicely done.

[mmheinzelmann]

the more I listen to it, the more I like it, very nice !

[c9sus4]

love those rolls.

[rkalamdani]

thats an awesome guitar i love those

[elams1894]

Love it!

[nurikara]

very impressive phrases all the way through

a MVP featuring Jake Reichbart album would be interesting :)

hearing you on distorted lead fusion guitar was like hearing gambale playing just acoustic in his recent concert here,

you should do (and record) that more often when you have time.

best,

[jreichbart]

Thank you! My main gig these days is solo guitar or acoustic jazz trios so naturally most of my videos are in that style. But perhaps I will upload a few more lead guitar videos in the coming months. Thanks!

[n2112b]

That sounded different than your other stuff, it was really good, it sounded like a jazzed up Joe Satriani

[osir1s]

very nice! love your style.

[GuzmanLE]

i like ur right hand technique :D, nice video :)

[rockannabis]

you are greit

[ICreamsodAI]

Great playing man. Beautiful guitar as well.

It's refreshing to see an 'old jazz guy' going in more of a fusion direction. Versatility is a great thing xD

[billmeedog]

jreichbart,

I now understand! You ARE correct about the "loose" resemblance (very little!) to Miles' classic, and subsequently the title is misleading. (Not your fault!)

Anyways, I listened to your performance again, and your playing is refreshingly unique and void of cliches! Although your legato may no have the silky/buttery vibe of some of the better-known "fusion" legato-gods, your style has an urgency and feel that underlies most "pure & true" improvisation! Well done!

[billmeedog]

Great playing!

However, I think it's actually a shame that these "Jazz Purists" that you went out of your way to apologize to in your "more info" section, (upper right box) aren't more open-minded in so much as you wouldn't need to feel obligated to apologize to them! I mean, I don't remember any traditional-jazz artists "apologizing" to "rock-purists" for their traditional jazz pursuits?!?

I think you may have unintentionally validated all that is wrong with "Jazz."

[jreichbart]

Thanks for the compliment and the thoughtful remark. I think though that you misunderstand - or perhaps I misspoke: The apology had nothing to do with the different "camps" in music, a discussion I could care less about, but had to do only with a technical point of the use of the title "So What". That title is of a Miles Davis tune with a particular melody, form and feel while this jam is kind of loosely similar and strictly speaking should not be called "So What". Thanks again!

[omko73]

apology accepted ! as I was looking for a Guitar cover for Mile's "So What". However , thats a nice feel you have and Thanks for posting

[aintnaive]

nice were do you get the backing?¿

[MwhLap]

I'm astonished. Superb, just superb.

[pythonflying]

I dig your seamless flows thru the chord changes, nice.

[Fusionjazzfunk]

very nice my friend!!Do you know where i can find the packing track?

[jreichbart]

Thanks. Try fenderaficionado.

[Krisbarras]

Thats some great playing buddy....if u get chance, check out my version of the same track.

keep up the good work.

[jreichbart]

Thanks, you sound great! As a Brit, you might appreciate that one of my main influences to this day is fellow countryman Andrew Latimer who is all about melody phrasing and tone, I still have lots to learn from him... Keep up the great playing!

[Guitarious1985]

Both versions, although very different, are great. Im gonna get practicing now!

[Lahed92801]

That is some INSAAAAANE legato!

[kalco4]

Great job as always Jake. Listening to you makes me want to quit the guitar. You're too good man! Anyway what about So What? I was waiting for that since it's in the title but it never came.

[jreichbart]

Thanks, first, for the kind words. Second, you are right in that this track bears little resemblance to the Miles Davis original. In fact the only thing they have in common is that they both have two minor chords half step apart. However, some years ago a recording surfaced by a couple of amazing guitar shredders also dubbed So What. As I am trying to aim at young guitar players (in addition to old jazz guys like myself) I added that in the title. I will make note of this in the video info.

[earsoup]

Interesting take, I can tell it comes from a fingerstyle jazz player ;) subtle but it's there. Great job, not easy to blow on the few chords!

[vigorino]

bravissimo io amo il progressive rock ma anche il fusion jazz...grande come sempre

[jreichbart]

Grazie!

[scottbos68]

i like your tone, curious what amps and pedals do you use and what pickups?

[jreichbart]

Thanks. For this particular type tone I use a Yamaha DG Stomp preamp either direct into the computer for a video or recording or I'll use a power amp and speakers live. I also have DG guitar amps which I might use depending on the circumstance. No Other pedals or effects in this recording but live I might sometimes use a Yamaha UD stomp. The guitar is an Ibanez Prestige based on their sabre models, but I don't know what pickup it is...

[JazzySaxE]

nice sound buddy!

wish you played for my band!

[jreichbart]

Always looking for a gig... Where you at?

[JazzySaxE]

I currently live in Connecticut. And you?

[jreichbart]

Michigan. But if you pay millage... :-)

[tajspace]

WOW! You have ripped the roof off of the joint. This is so hot that it burns!

[jreichbart]

Thanks. I make some tracks but I didn't make this one, this is floating on the web, a lot of guys use it.

[twooos]

Awesome improvisation.

[mdolson1031]

WOW - that was fantastic! I didn't want it to end. Great job Jake!

[minivinni]

niente male amico!!!

[danbergam]

Jake, those hands and the brain/heart keeping their control are just magic!

I love jazz and its many branches, fusion in first place!

I'm here absolutely delighted, listening to your improvisation, intense and technical at the same time (what a precious, rare quality!) and thanking you for another smile you've been able to give to one of my days!

More of these, please!

5* and adding it to my favorites!

[jreichbart]

You're too kind. How about some kind of project together?

[danbergam]

Oh my! Am I dreaming?! :O

It would just be fantastic! :-D

Yes, I think it can be done, and in many ways!

:-D

[jreichbart]

I'd love to work on a soundtrack. I use Cakewalk Sonar 6 and can export/import midi and audio, convert file formats, etc. Yes, it can be done.

[danbergam]

Oh, there are so many possibilities!

From one of us playing something and the other adding its part; to me adding my orchestra to a music of yours (never done it before... but, oh well, Life is great for each never-tried-before thing!); and yes, a soundtrack is possible too... but this will eventually require a finished movie!

I can export/import midi&audio too and all the stuff required!

Many open roads! It can be done, definitely!

:-D

[wickedsensation]

Very nice. Do you know where I can get the backing track?

Thanks!

[jreichbart]

Thank you. Sorry, it was passed on to me... I suspect this is how anybody has this track...

[wickedsensation]

Pass it on to me.

[localpm]

Lovely Jake-Gambale is one of my favourites.

Did a brill Job.

[jreichbart]

Thanks Paul. As I don't, unfortunately, play much in this style anymore, I have been practicing with a pick for a couple of weeks to get back into it. And then, of course, I forget to use the pick till about half way through the recording... Oh well. I'll upload a couple more lead things and then get back to the usual solo guitar stuff. Thanks again my friend!
