Improv: Remembering Joe Zawinul

At home, improvising with Synthesizers and a drum machine. In the style of the late great Joe Z, one of my all time favs. Nothing special here, just a little jam in memory... it does appear to get out of sync. Not sure what can be done about that.

Hi there! Well - let's talk guitar. How would you get Jeff Beck's sound? Seems to me it's actually more in the "way" you play than the actual sounds. Zawinul's thing is a stylistic approach to playing; the sounds actually don't matter that much (though it helps to understand his approach to programming). Thanks for watching. :)

Thanks bro. Now heading over to your page,...

Yes &fmt=18 or &fmt=6 MAY or MAY NOT be the best thing since fresh baked bread. The code does allow videos to be shown in HD (as they say on TV 'when available') BUT it may also slow down streaming so if youre watching a video that stops to buffer, this code may make it worse since you are interrupted which I really hate.

Of course, as always, your mileage may vary.

right...ok...sure. I just like learning new things, whether they're good or not. It's just interesting. anyway, the code's NOT in there, so no need to worry.

If you add

&fmt=18

to the URL, the video will play back in

STEREO

[nailosity]

...wow. I had no idea. How do I write that in to the URL?

Happening!

Sounds great. Can you tell me how you captured the Zawinul sound? I'm a guitarist but I really like all of his work, especially the Zawinul Syndicate stuff, which this seems to be in the style of.

[Omtomramoa]

Nice work man! Zawinul would have appreciated this, i'm sure.

[gtristdan]

Yeah man he's amazing isn't he? Look in the info and follow the link to his website and check out NAIL, amazing band.. I actually was a member of Nail and we made a CD called "Bent" in 97' Since then Nail has flourished! Thanks Marc! Peace

No harm meant. And I love all new knowledge. you know that.

And the code is probably not in the URL because it seems like it would slow some systems down during some videos. (remember I'm taking about those interruptions during the streaming I HATE THAT). The bottleneck starts at the source machine that created the video regardless of the hardware the host maybe running ..... .. oh well..

Funny it's not documented though.

Forget all that frag, GREAT VIDEO NAIL !!!!!
