Great playing! Thanks for sharing this. I was just thinking about this tune the other day as one of my favorite recordings was the duo by Jim Hall and Bob Brookmeyer (who sadly left us a couple days ago). I see you're doing some mods to that Ibanez. What's going on with the tailpiece?

[jreichbart]

Rick, it's a pleasure hearing from you, thanks for the kind words! I have a Fishman archtop piezzo in the bridge and I use just a bit of the signal to blend in with the regular neck PU. It adds some acoustic sparkle which I think helps add definition to the notes. This requires two cables and channels for recording as well as live gigs. I had this system going for 20 years and I have transferred the Fishman from guitar to guitar as they disintegrated... Happy New Year!

This is a gem, one of many you have tossed our way. Jake, I want to thank you for this, and thank you for the lesson and the opportunity to meet you, a high point for me this year, no question. Happy holidays to you and your family, and I wish you continued success. Listening to you makes up for all the insanity and crap on the internet.  Great job!

[jreichbart]

Thanks, Bunky, for the very kind comment, please stop by any time again!

Oh, Lordy, Jake, I'm always entranced by your playing. Your body language suggests that you're barely even trying, but I don't know of too many other guitar players in this world who command that instrument the way you do. Just wondering if anyone like a John McLaughlin or a Steve Howe or an Allan Holdsworth or anyone else of that caliber have seen and heard you.

[jreichbart]

Thanks so much, I can't believe you even put me in the same sentence with those guys... :-)

Immaculate technique we've come to expect. Lovely to listen to! Keep it up Jake.

[ukuleleo]
