Excellent Keep them coming 👍
Quick question stuart aside from having amazing technique have you got any tips for making those stabs really clean, I notice your stabs have a really nice compression zero overtones or waning notes do you use a compressor? This style of playing is so undervalued it’s criminally difficult to have this amount of control over the instrument.
Thanks for watching! I have a compressor on all the time but it's set with a 50/50 blend and a slow attack and release so it's more of a tone tool than a leveller. It's all about the right hand palm muting the strings just after each chord stab. You have to be really careful with 335s and Jazzmasters etc as those bridges are lively! Funny muting story - I played in an 18 piece Soul band for years. Between songs the singer would make the introductions and there would be an almighty ticking sound through the PA. I wear my watch on my right wrist and it took about 5 gigs before I realised my pickups were amplifying the second hand...one day I happened to move my hand from muting the strings and suddenly realised I was the problem. Nobody in that band ever found out...
Sick
inspirational😎
4:21. 4:34. Example 7
I love this chord! It reminds me of Eric Johnson's "East Wes"
5 times dearer but only twice as good..
The jazzmaster does indeed sound like a hollowbody jazz guitar when you set it right. Why isn't this more widely known?
What a dream. 1 11/16 nut, 15" lower bout, spruce top, matte finish, ebony fingerboard. Perfect.
Best Jazzmaster demo ever. Thanks.
Great video helped me learn alot
Thanks for watching, great to hear it has helped!
❤First and great video 📹 👏...
Thank you!
any tone differences are purely down to the pickups. the interesting comparison would be if the same pickups were in both guitars. vintage is bass-arse; but Seymour Antiquities in any MIA or MIJ is going to sound amazing.
Nice playing, and thanks. The 3rd position was to emulate a bass, so you could switch back and forth if your band needed it.
Buenisssimo
Great content. not rushed, good clear camera angles and your voice is calming. Subscribed 😀
Great lessons 😎
Very nicely done, easy to follow and understand. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, glad it helped!
great stuff. Another great teacher on this topic is Alex Farran. check him out .
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Alex is wonderful, I've known about him for a long time!
nice one, and well played ,Stuart . you also should check out the americana lessons of Alex Farran who is a real master on this subject
thanks , well presented . I love using double stops . Your intro reminded me of a favorite CD of mine : Blue Night by Percy Sledge .He had Greg Leisz , Steve Cropper , Bobby Womack and Mick Taylor playing on the CD 😎 cheers from Canada
Thank you! I'll give that Percy Sledge album a listen, that's an amazing line up and I didn't know Greg Leisz had worked with him!
What is the diff between your Country guitar jam session book and your Modern country guitar jam session book ?
Hi Steve, thanks for getting in touch - the Country Jam session book looks at the more traditional side of Country so starts with the Johnny Cash style to The Eagles and goes all the way through to 90s Vince Gill etc. That's the one if you want the more typical sounding Country licks - chicken picking, doublestops, etc. The Modern Country book covers the late '90s up to today so think artists like Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Jason Isbell etc. It's really influenced by the Nashville studio sound so lots of layered guitar parts and more of a Rock/Country sound though there's plenty of acoustic stuff in there too. Hope that helps! All the best, Stuart
@@StuartRyanMusicHey Stuart, thanks for the reply, that helps as they both look really good.
@@steve60. Thank you, I had a blast putting those two together!
is was doubting to buy one. but i think i go for the CV 70s strat for the blues .. yours all sound good with the JM..🎉
lessons are great but not descriptive enough for a novice like myself at this style. no tone suggestions that would take a second to just say position 4 etc. Im not sure what string oir how many you are hitting Thanks just trying to help not upset and i subbed. These lessons maybe are geared towards begfinners or even intermediate because in other styles i can understand but i have to keep going back here. For a beginner theyre going to be lost on how to approach as well as a beginner in this syle
Truly a beautiful song. I know this song was a tribute to Eric. You, (through Eric), have inspired me to learn and enjoy this awesome song
what tuning is this? favourite mandolin playing I've come across so far
Excellent lesson. Love the content on your channel.
Nice
This is a great lesson. Is there a way to make it darker? I’m listening to Ora Cogan’s Cowgirl and I like that dark americana sound
You can turn the tone Knob down and also use a chorus in your effect chain. Furthermore , you can change the tonal Center to a minor key. If you want to use the chords in the video above , you can switch to the relative Key A Minor as your tonal Center. In that way , you can use all the shapes shown. The main difference is, that you start in Amin 7th to Emin 7th to Fmaj7th to Dmin 7th back to Amin 7th sus2/sus4 That should make it all darker.
@@crouchjump5787just saw your reply, thank you!
Thank you Stuart!
Ace stuff. I am looking at ways to improve my rockabilly playing. These are just the job. Thanks
Excellent!
Awesome thanks for your efforts and sharing your knowledge.. thoroughly enjoyed it ❤
hi! what frets are in that guitar? thanks!
I've been looking for this! perfect, thank you
Nice demo. But it would have made it that much nicer if the guitar knobs had been shown. Just a little wider shot. 😉 As for the tone differences you mention at the end, it would be a lot closer if the wiring and pickups were the same. Then it would be a more fair comparison. I'm not sure what year is your Sheraton. But the pre-1992 and specially 1986-1988, most don't realize how close they were made to the Gibson standard. Extended tenon/spliced heel like on vintage Gibsons, fret end nibs again like Gibsons, proper rosewood fretboard aged and dried properly, real mother of pearl and abalone inlays, 5 piece neck like a L5, 5-ply top, mahogany center block shaped after vintage Sheratons and a lot of small details, down to the neatness of the neck pocket. I also heard they are polyester and not polyurethane. Slowly they started losing these high end features. By 1996 or whereabouts they were not that different from the Chinese ones of today.
I own two Fender Esquires and two Fender Telecasters. All are fantastic ❤ 😎. Played through a blackface or tweed amp is fantastic. Single Coils through my Victoria 45410 with Alessandro 10” Alnico speakers are fantastic and I recently bought a Victoria Vibrolux 1x12 with a Celestion Alnico Blue it’s fantastic too cool
👍👍
For neo soul and rnb which of the three do you prefer? I have a les paul and a boss katana mk2 amp
So impressed with your playing! Eesh! And great insight into the Jazzmeister. Not sure on the pink…🐒
Tele is a god damn beast, but i love the strats twang... wow. Jazzmaster i'm not sure what to say
Great channel
Exceptional video quality
I was not expecting a style review. Very nice.
I wonder if God will remake me with more talent to play the guitar better in the next life? I hope so.
bro you didnt really show nothing your guitar dont matter idgaf use single coil pickup guitar. you can pick near the neck but you must use reverb effects or pedals to get the tone. you can play any position on the guitar neck i have original surf songs in the key of a and b major not just the eminor position of g major
Thank you 🙏🤗
I really like these rubato versions of these trad songs (That you have been posting.)
Nice arrangment. I just bought that Alvarez, based on the sound in this composition.
Excellent lesson
