Crockett's Theme: Jamming along on guitar, the perfect drive song!
*My jam against this classic track by Jan Hammer from the soundtrack of the hit 80s TV series Miami Vice. I got a kick out of it, retro memories from watching it then.
Been enjoying steadily putting these pedals on my board one by one over the years, and the instinct to get my friend Sim's Drive to buy these rarely found Zendrive II pedals by the original maker himself - Alfonso Hermida - in Japan in Dec 2023, has been a gamechanger, since I don't usually use a lot of drive pedals.
Signal path:
2008 Gibson Les Paul Slash goldtop
Jam Pedals Wakcko wah
Zendrive II
Jam Pedals Waterfall chorus
Keeley Halo Andy Timmons delay
Strymon Iridium amp emulator (using Vibrolux setting for everything except the wah crunch parts using Marshall setting)
SSL 2 audio interface
Adobe Audition software
*No reverb in post (note to myself, and no reverb too from the board needed!)

A classic song from the 1984 movie that I watched in the cinema then, but never thought I would be able to play it one day, let alone learn it, since I'm not into tabs, or have never learnt note-for-note stuff... But @danishpete's cover inspired me to practise an instrumental take over and over through the Covid pandemic since 2020. Finally this year, in 2023, after one take on the intro and me...

I try this for the first time after owning this amp for almost a decade and playing it at max volume 4 at home in my apartment, to avoid upsetting the neighbours. Verdict: This tiny Champ was a caged animal waiting to be unleashed!

    I think part of getting close to his tone, as crazy as this sounds is just diving the amp gain and turn off everything else. Definitely no compression, and really nothing other than a tasty reverb at the end of the chain. Everything else tone wise I feel like you should be getting "in guitar" Just like the great directors say get as much in camera as possible. Which means make the scene really look like that, and if someone was filming with their phone, it wouldn't look that different from the final product. It's basically the opposite of fix it in post. This means very deliberate and almost mythical control of the guitars volume know, a very well set up guitar, pickups, amp etc and of course ridiculously good feel and tone in the hands. When people say most of the tone is in the hands, few people demonstrate this better then Jeff Beck. I mean you also got Knoffler, Gilmour, Young, and even some newer cats like John Mayor. Of course you got some killer Acoustic players that have some great dynamics in their hands too like Tommy Emmanuel and one his students (I think) Joe Robinson which both have just an insanely good touch.

      Dime-ing the amp......wouldn't let me edit the comment. YT had been this thing to me lately where it gets stuck in this loop where I get 2 options, either keep writing or discard and it won't let me choose either. It just keeps popping up with that choice box over and over. Super frustrating. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

    My nephew gave me a 2017 Epiphone es 339 (vintage sunburst) out of nowhere, just..here ya go. Even had the epiphone branded 339 hardshell case! I found the versatility of this guitar is just amazing. I'm mainly a metal (LTD EC256) and lofi jazz (the 339) player and being able to play and not have to switch guitars often is great. This might replace my LTD as my main.

    • @ernestfriends4535
      @ernestfriends4535 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Leviathan, the most underrated thing abt the 339 shape, is when you play it standing up, you can really groove with it quite easily. Because of my body size, I found that 335s were not suited. And I'd rather own something I can really play with and not because it is deemed as more valuable in the resale market. I had been thinking of getting the hard case, easier to clean. Normal soft bags collect dust easily. Enjoy your Epi 339 man, a good setup goes a long way, as I recently did, in a series of latest videos. The LTD looks killer though, but enjoy your discovery process!
