Amazing 16 year old Jessica "Jess" Lewis performs an astoundingly accurate version of Alex Hutchings cool ballad 'Happy as Larry'. Recorded 'Live' in the Jamtrackcentral studio by our gobsmacked camera and audio team in London.

For the Gear Heads.......

Jess used her Fender Strat plugged into a D*A*M Red Rooster (Treble booster) pedal.

This went into a LANEY GH 50L amp head going into a Cornford 1 X 12 open backed cab loaded with a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker.
This was mic'ed up with a Shure SM 57 and an AKG 414 UBLS to add a little body to the tone. We used Neve 1073 preamps with the SM57 fed into a Purple Audio MC77 limiter.

No eq needed and reverb came from Logic Pro's Space Designer. "Nice Plate" setting.


You can purchase the original version of this track by Alex Hutchings (PLUS MUCH MORE). Backing track and full TAB included from Jamtrackcentral. Go to....

  • @Bjshel go fuck yourself

  • what a strange kitchen.

  • Great playing Jess, why don't you use your little finger, great tone,

  • jaw drop!

  • seriously who gives a fuck about gender? this is simply great music and she did an awesome take on it! keep it up

  • Guitar, you lucky bitch.

  • muito bom...sem comentarios

    

  • well it goes without saying that she will probably get a full scholarship to any university of her choice. but I can't wait to hear her compositional skills. the art of writing and getting your talents on "vinyl" will be the next chapter for this special young lady.

  • There is no doubt that the playing is peerless. But I don't care if you play like Wes Montgomery or Django or Hendrix, tracks have a way of making everything sound like wanking. Same playing with a real drummer and bassist and it would be absolute perfection
