Brad was amazing but I encountered Thom a month before he passed; he left a fifty year old guitar in my hospital room after my stroke. He was ready to see Brad after over a dozen years of waiting. He’d had to give up all his favourite foods and things only to find out something else was killing him and after he met the Animal it reminded him so badly of Brad he wanted to join his friend. It will be two years this May. I’d be dead without him. And I miss him like oxygen. And now Kirk Sand has joined them. I don’t know how I will manage to smile at the CAAS centenary this year in July.
taylor lol. forget it. I wanna hear Brad Jones playin a D-28. Brad Jones is the most inventive travispicker out there... He gives the technique new life with new genres of solo guitar music. Especially with the real intricate bassine compositions :)
I believe you will find that having that buzz or "fuzzy" sound as you call it was most likely Jones' attempt to sound like his hero Jerry Reed. Mr. Reed would purposely lower the strings on his nylon guitars in order to get that buzz sound. Everyone has their own personal taste but personally I like the sound of Buster's guitar. It adds a heavy raw element to his songs. I absolutely love to listen to Tommy Emmanuel and Thom Bresh. Their sound is unique, so was Buster's. All are legendary!
Godin Multiacs are the best sounding guitars, dollar for dollar around and were one of the two main reasons I choose one when I decided to get a nylon. The other reason being the neck size, as I have small hands. If the action is set low and you detune ( lower) any nylon will tend to buzz a bit.That said Buster (RIP) and Thom both have mastered the deleicate touch required to play em . Watch a few of Brads lessons and you will see how precise his fingering is, both hands
Did you know him personally? I knew him very well, and he preferred to be called "Buster." No big deal though, people are way too touchy these days anyway, I'm just sayin'. As for Godins, I love my ACS, but like any piezo pickups, they sound "nasal." Bresh uses an Aphex Xciter (search youtube for "bresh" and "xciter" for his video on settings) to 'round out' the tone. Another trick for piezos is the TC Electronics "G Natural" though I haven't personally tried it.

You probably the first person I have every heard call him Brad
haha, well the record I have that has this tune on it is titled "Brad Jones - Live at Five"
those guitars had 3 condenser mics along with the indiviadual string pickups
Where's the whole concert?
lol, pakk82. Single or "Humbuckr" are magnetic pickups...

@Rippitianr cool story, bro
i think its the piezo pickup that masses up evrything
single or humbuckr woud have better result
Yeah I know but he is mostly known as buster b jones as brad is the b...I'm guessing buster is a nickname

@srsteve12 I agree with you. Amplified acoustic guitars do not sound right.
