  • Hey hallo,

    heb je toevallig ook het laatste deel van deze docu?

    Groetjes Nathaniel.

  • @nathanvayne1 Hallo, nee alleen de video met deze link: gsN16XvHrwI Ik heb deze 2 video's ooit gedownload. Meer dan dit heb ik niet...

    Groetjes, Tony

  • Please add dat stukje met die 55-er Gold Top?

  • Sorry, maar ik heb alleen deze twee fragmentjes gedownload met aMule (deel 1 gaat over de L5 en de Les Paul, deel 2 gaat over allerlei gitaren en gitaristen)!

  • Well I will translate what hes saying:

    Questioner: Could you tell us what makes the LP such a popular guitar for rock guitarists in the 60'ies?

    Jan : Well Ill demonstrated that just before. It has a really long sustain. It makes such a warm sound.

    The Tone Keeps going. You'll never make it with that thing (pointed)

    Questioner: Thats because the body?

  • Do you think those gitars are as easy to play as an ibanez nowadays?? the way he controls the sounds is awesome. And the way he mixes scales is not just like shotting notes. He's an old school virtuoso, that's not being arrogant, that's what he does every time he takes a gitar.

    This man is a true musician.

see all

  • Django en Wes inderdaad. Authentieke jongens. Niemand kan ze ook na doen

  • jan is right the les paul is a great guitar

  • My hat goes off to anyone who can play a coffee table such as the gibson as good as Jan.

  • @mike999999999999

    haha een jaloers pikkedosie

  • Wat is deze man eigenlijk vet slecht, hij speelt echt zonder soul. En het is nog een lul ook.

  • @woodwired1

    yepp, quite similar to the les paul but made in bubenreuth, germany

  • moet je je dus voorstellen dat Django Reinhardt met 2 vingers speelde en ook zo kon spelen als hoe Jan Akkerman speelt in het begin en überhaupt verschrikkelijk goed was

  • @phoenixw2 cool to be friend with jan akkerman :)

    hi is my hero since 1973 when i first heard him..
