Grant is a stud on the strings.He has been a hero of mine for years.I can tell he took Private.(LESSONS)
I think he is looking on the ground to see where his capo is.Can't play this stuff without at least 2 capo's on at the same time!And a slide!And a tab printout of Justin Bieber's latest hits.
For guitar it IS the best I've heard. It's not just a matter of playing fast. Grant Geissman has such excellent taste in melodic and harmonic ideas. On the "feels so good" album his guitar work almost took over the flugelhorn. I mean it was that good.
I listen more to piano these days, but he's a great musician, both technically and artistically.
P.S. He's not looking at his strings...he's reading sheet music or maybe tab...while he's doing some pretty complex stuff. Try that if you're hot.
Ever since I heard the playing on Feels so Good when I was 9 I've viewed Grant's playing as amongst the best I've ever heard.
30 years of "absorbing as much guitar as I can" later and that feeling hasn't diminished one bit. Grant is a musician's musician and his playing always blows me away.
Ken, in case he doesn't get to you, when I saw them live in the 70s, he was playing a "wide" hollow-body F-hole Gibson, perhaps an L-4 CES or the Super 400 CES. It was a single cutaway, but I can't remember which one. He'd have to fill you in on the amps, etc. When I played the song, I had a Les Paul Custom (NOT a jazz guitar), but I used the front pickup, played it through an MXR Phase-90 and a MusicMan HD-212 amp. That was 30 years ago, mind you, and it didn't sound too bad.
Great guitarrist

Thanks for the info, Jon. Maybe Grant will check in on this thread someday and fill us in on the amp/effects.
