I just love that Gretsch sound. It is just beautiful and set apart from the other guitars. Vaughn
This was some really tasty playing. No shredding or anything crazy, just super tasty. Kudos to the guitarist.
Agreed. Wish there were more demos like this instead of mindless shredding. Not hating on shredding, but you can't even hear the guitar's natural sound when you use tons of gain, so it's a bad way of demoing a guitar imo
@crab fuck Fag true but you know what I mean lol
Sounded very Gilmourish.
An object lesson in how to do demos.
Gretsch is the sexiest sounding thing ever
Richard's playing is off the charts tasty. The main reason I watch these fantastic demos..
Over and over again!
Thanks very much! I also have some music available through richardbarrettguitar.com 👍🏻
That G6128T-57 VS Duo Jet sounds awesome with those T-Armond Pickups and G6234T-58 w/T.V.Jones PU's is fabulous. I just love the tone of Gretsch Guitars
This guy knows how to play! Great demo!
Love the playing, tone, Harrisonisms...
PENGUINS ARE A DREAM!
us custom shop modell are above 5000 bucks, Terrada modells from japan are above 2700 it´s perhaps not to compare with the other two modells very much difficult when you see at the body and the neck ist´s more like a cello or violin penguins are really exspensive ok when you´ve a rich guy why not but always be consend of scratches really not a workhorse
The tone sounds amazing! I actually own an original 55 Jet, it's nice to see that they still make them sound like they used to :)
THAT'S the WHOLE idea!
It's hard to beat that tone! Great demo and stellar playing!
I like the dou jet he best :) like early George
Wow the duo jet sounds fantastic
This is the best guitar tone in the world!
Awesome demo. That G6 sounds stunning. But I was surpised how nicely the cheaper one dirtied up. Love that White Gold Penguin.
This is the greatest melody, have to listen to it over and over , great guitarist. Very Cool!
Love that playing.
k, i want all 3 now. perfect.
why do all gretsch guitars sound like pure romantic sex? this guitar sounds fucking amazing and almost sounds like a thicker version of a vintage strat.
Because they are SEXY guitars! They OOZE sex!
The feel while you play it , I own one and it is amazing, don't have any plan of letting it go,
Beautiful playing during the intro, and a fantastic demo - thank you: my decision to buy is made.
I own a 57 vintage select and it's the best guitar I've ever played
Coolness. I have the select Firebird model. They really are beautiful builds, made with quality components and quite comfortable to play. And the brown faceplate on our headstocks are as though the guitars are wearing. their own pair of complementary sharp brown shoes.
Nothing like a Gretsch
I'm in love with that Penguin. By the way, I loved your melodic playing. Very tasteful.
Best demo on TH-cam for these models
Nice demo, thanks.
nice progression and perfect note choice wow i forgot about the guitar 😆
+Guitarist great demo, very nicely played
I had a DynaPenguin once and it did not sound like that. It had a killer neck pickup but the bridge sounded too thin. Straight traded it with a FilterFalcon. Thanks for demoing a T-Armond.
Dear Gretsch, my dream guitar is a Penguin but my favourite colour for it is Cadillac Green and with gold hardware, but I haven't been able to find one for ages. Please find one for me that's in the UK so that I'm not stung by customs charges. Cheers 👍
really nice tone and playing
It's a 50's song your playing is inspired by but can't think of it. It's the song that plays to honor Ritchie Valens when his mother finds out on the radio that her son had been killed.
Edit: Johnny and Santo sleepwalk.
Absolutely, love that tune - especially a live Jeff Beck version I once heard 😁
i have a pro jet the 5435 limited edition i love mine
The duo jet sounds the best. Sounds full and fat. But the penguin has a more vintage gretsch sound. Brighter and crunchy.
Agreed. I love the look on that Penguin. Woah. I also love the silver sparkled Duo Jet.
Salman Airlangga I agree, I liked the sound (and looks!) Of the Cadillac green Duo Jet the best. Mighty impressive considering those are single coil pickups too! The White Penguin is very nice also.
Fabulous bro!
Я на слюну весь изошёл! Шикарные инструменты!
Pro Jet год назад можно было купить в России приблизительно за 30 000
Что я и сделал, собственно. Пусть и уступает по всем параметрам остальным представленным в этом ролике гитарам, но всё равно эту фишку Gretsch в себе содержит!
Кстати в две тысячи восемнадцатом они эту бюджетную линейку обновят - всё теперь будет из махагони. Советую держать на прицеле!
If you have a Gretsch guitar, try out some heavier gauge flat wound strings on it. I put some Tomastik ones on my 6118 they sound fantastic
This really was a well done video, here here! I agree with a lot of the other readers comments on the tasty guitar playing and the sound of the amp Etc. My favorite one was the Duo Jet in Cadillac green and I was surprised that I liked it even more than the fabled White 🐧 Penguin. And those pickups in the Duo Jet are single coils, amazing. Gretsch guitars are great instruments and have their own unique voice. I have a new G5220 in Casino Gold with the Broadtron pickups and I love it. Exceptional value and quality for $500 and something different...
Put those Tarmonds in the Penguin in white or Cadillac Green Double Cut and I would be happy! They all sounded great.
3 pickup custom Penguin in Cadillac Green with 2 Tarmonds and a TV Jones Classic in the bridge.
love the tone on the 57, then the fifty eight 's tone is slightly more aggressive when hit hard, course I love any Gretsch just some a little more
Wondering if the amp was a VOX 15 or 30,really sounds great. It shows off the great Gretsch tone
T-Armond's are absolutely killer pickups, sort of Tele meets P90. I prefer them to my TV Jones filtertrons.
They AREN'T bad hey? GF make a Surf90 pick up that melds hum bucker form factor, with P90 and Dearmond construction. Very good for the low price!
Maybe one of those T-armonds in the bridge and a filtertron in the neck?
Agree, that Duo Jet sounds brilliant. Starting to think those De Armond style single coils sound better than the Filter Trons.
Are the T-Armonds bridge and neck pups reverse wound so that when both pickups are engaged it's noise cancelling?
im starting to like them Gretsch single coils more and more for some reason.
The reason is that they sound better -.DUH!
I’m with you. Each A to B I hear, I give it to the Gretsch. How to describe it, though? I keep thinking the Gretsch have more ‘air’ in the sound, more note, and more music. And looks to boot!
I just bought a ‘59 reissue 6120 -that hallow body classic that Chet Atkins wowed is with. I had a 6120 years ago I traded in -the guy said to me “ brother,this things in mint condition. You’re gonna regret trading it in as soon as you leave like every other guitar player has!” I got to my car, turned around in a cold sweat realizing my mistake and some cat that was in there snatched it up as I walked out! He would’ve let me take it back after some discussion but I felt like it’d be a dick move( and bringing home 2 guitars instead of 1 would’ve taken some explaining to my wife! ) Lol Love Gretsch guitars.
I had a George Harrison style Tennessean in the 80s, stupidly traded it and watched the price double. But that floating bridge ugh as soon as it was knocked the whole guitar was out of tune.
Those T armonds really surprised me
awwww man I thought you were going into 'Sleep Walk'
theaceofspadesjl So did I lalala
Great review!
The 57 Duo Jet for me please
BTW, a simple "Bar" bridge is much better with a Bigsby and was standard equipment on Gretsch guitars with Bigsbys in the day. Gretsch went to the "Space Control" roller bridge with Bigsbys later in, but it sucked a lot of tone and sustain and many people exchanged them for "Bar: bridges. No kind of adjustable bridge works well with a Bigsby as the saddles create too much friction for good tuning stability. Aren't those Dynasonics just killer?
Theres a real change in tone for duo and electromatic..
Love it.
Fantastic sound. Where can I get those chords?
Guitar center
This is the hardest decision ive ever had to make. Holy hell
Yes! This is a good demo of these guitars rather than the guitarist as per most of the guitar demos!! Excellent! You should be the official Gretch demo guitar guy, instead of what they have! Congrats
Me gusta como suena !!!
because of the price i would go with pro jet
Great Tone !!!!
absolutely juicy wow
I'm not even a huge Gretch fan either way, but that's some nice playing. Great video and great job. :)
J'adore!!!
I love that slow handed blues!
Love the Penguin, but prefer the Falcon :)
I just saw my dream guitar in this video and the classiest guitar I've ever seen in this video.....
The cadillac green 6128 is an absolutely beautiful guitar to me, everything about it is perfect and I didn't even see the neck or headstock 😆
I'd do (almost) anything to get my hands on 1 of those guitars. I haven't looked yet to see how much it is but I just know that it's going to be out of my price range 😢
I have to admit, the Chinese make a great sounding Gretsch. For those of us who can't afford a Nipponese built.
OR American! I thought the pick ups were a tad muddy. (The neck 1 at least)
What amp are you using for the demos? I’m thinking of getting duo jet but can’t decide between single coil t Armand or the Filtertrons. As I already have a electromatic pro jet with blacktop ft’s, the single coil would probably give me best versatility eh?
Can the single coils get pretty snarly like p90s? Thanks.
0:13
How did you do that?, picking with your fingers then playing with the pick?
check out how he tucks the purple/pink? pick between 2nds & 3rd fingers whilst plucking then slides it between 1st finger and thumb to pick at around 0:24 on the video. It takes practice but a useful technique!
guitaralan1964 yeah it’s a cool trick i am a beginner guitarist so it won’t be easy practicing that
Cool....there's various techniques....some players use 3rd and little pinky finger curled into the palm to hold the pick and pluck with thumb, 1st and 2nd fingers so I guess it's finding a way that works for you if you want to go down that route, good luck with it anyway and worth the effort for the extra versatility it will allow you in your playing.
guitaralan1964 thanks man
guitaralan1964 I forgot to say that move with the pick @ 0.24 was pretty slick
sounds like a 70s cop show theme.. way cool
Reminds me of breaking bad theme song
All sound good, but the CN model was a bit generic sounding. Sure it's a well built instrument, (ALL foreign made Fenders are) but the pick ups are lacklustre. Just sound like generic humbuckers. The neck was really muddy, the bridge was not bad however, as it HAD some of that Gretsch twang! A good set of TV'S would set it right.
I thought the 1st 1 with the TV Dearmond style sounded the nicest.
Nice axes for sure.
6:03!!!!
I’m glad someone else noticed it 😊
The initial sound bites have more treble (highs), than the later ones. Was there any EQ changes to either the guitars or the amp
I'd say the OD pedal he was using emphasised the treble.
No, same settings on everything 👍🏻
Thanks Dick!
As always, enjoyed your playing, Richard.
WHY THE HELL DONT THESE COMPANIES OFFER MODELS IN LEFT HANDED??
Same reason companies don’t make left handed pianos. I’m as lefty as you can get. Kick, throw, write, bat, punch with the left. I started playing guitar righty because everyone said it was easier. Most biological lefties are more comfortable fretting with the left anyway, so it makes sense. Since you started the way you did, you are at a disadvantage. Your body is geared backwards now. If you started learning.on a right handed guitar, you could’ve been fine after a couple of weeks.
"A slightly lower price point" :D
cmon... Gretsch MIC....///
Why does the cheapest guitar have to sound the cheapest? Sighhhh :/
Swap the Blacktop pickups for some HS Filtertrons. Problem solved.
amps used?
Vox ac15 i think
Grets has videos of their more recent Vintage Select series guitars that show a Gretsch combo amp, so my guess is that this video may be using the same amp.
