"Letters of Marque" (Holdsworth) - Guitar & Drums cover ||

- Been wanting to do this one for a while, now I have the gear and setup to do it more "properly". I decided to do a kind of straight ahead jazz trio version, although I guess it comes off a bit like Corea's Acoustic band, only with a telecaster.

It sounds pretty good on a decent speaker system or with headphones, FYI...
The stereo separation of the new drum device comes out nicely with headphones. Sounds great.
Always listen with headphones. The sound is good, but the playing and the dynamics makes it awesome...
I’ve never seen a court stenographer with so much rhythm
😆... I kind of like that, maybe my cool drummer nickname can be *the stenographer*....
Always cracks me up how these geniuses on guitar can play ANY instrument
🙏🏻
How are you not getting millions of views?! You deserve to this is incredible absolutely blown away
Well, I watched the video last night about the rolling Stone top 250 guitar players of all time.... Somewhat amazingly, Holdsworth, Fripp, Michael hedges etc etc etc were not on that list.... So I think maybe it just has to do with plain old popularity. Although, some number of years back I was thinking to myself that, surely it would have hit in the hundreds of thousands after several years... LOL.... Uuuhhhh, not necessarily, apparently
'Get' the tune better now, than from AH's rec. Amazing. TY
Great swing feel on the solo. Tory you operate on 5G while everyone else is struggling to make 4G (if talent and skill were like a telecom system) So much beautiful musical information.
Damn you're talented!!! You are rocking my world!

Gary Husband plays on IOU
@@terrapin323 Tory has a husband? Cool... That was a knee jerk response plus I don't know Holdsworth's music that deeply. I know who he is, I can recognize his playing, I actually love his music but I only own one album of his. Metal Fatigue and I bought it because the song Metal Fatigue is the kind of sound I'm into. th-cam.com/video/gUSTgQbXR8Y/w-d-xo.html
@@Earth_to_Kensho...ComeInKensho oh man, just wait till you meet a drummer who likes holdsworth. I can think of 4 different drummers on different albums. Also checkout Brett Stine's channel, his in the mystery book is an in depth analysis of holdsworth's playing, with full transcriptions of songs off metal fatigue, 16 men of tain, etc. Ive never learned a complete solo, just some small licks to pave my own path. Imo craziest thing about Holdsworth's lead playing isn't the 9 note scales, its the quintuplets and septuplets, which you see in the devil take the hindmost solo, I didnt even notice till I started looking at transcriptions. Even hazard profile part I he fits 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 notes in the space of 4. Skip to 2:00 in this video it will melt your brain th-cam.com/video/oLsdV9LFuQA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gXY8IMwVdG6DjBBl
@@terrapin323 thanks!
@@Earth_to_Kensho...ComeInKensho Once you find a way to enter through the door marked Holdsworth, there is a giant world of music awaiting to blow your mind. The whole of Metal Fatigue album is a masterpiece, and yet still not considered his best work although some do think this too.
This is so great.
Listening on repeat.
Allan would be smiling from ear to ear!
☺️
I almost cried listening to this. This is one of my favourite Allan's songs and your phrasing was too smooth... I just came across your channel and I have subscribed.
👋☺️
Great! Thank you very much for your beautiful and cool sound...
Amazing as Always 😊
Absolutely Stunning!
Special Notes
👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸
This is one of the most impressive musical performaces i ever saw. The finger drumming is so on point, also the guitar.
👋🙂
Hi, Tory! I've never posted on your site before, but I've been following it for about a year now. I think you're an amazing musician and you've definitely got your own style; something that's not easy to do in this day and age! Anyway, about a month or so after Allan passed away, we had a tribute concert for him (well actually for his daughters to raise money for funeral expenses) at a club in Chicago. There were a bunch of guitar players and we each had time for two tunes. I chose some of the "easier" ones: "Fred" and "Letters of Marque." I was/am a huge Holdsy fan ever since hearing that Tony Williams Lifetime album, "Believe It!" And I couldn't! I've seen him live a half dozen times... with my jaw on the floor each time! Anyway, I think it's so cool that you're paying tribute to him in your own inimitable way, so THANKS!
🔥
Now there's two of them.
🫣 my god, they're multiplying
Outrageous levels of confidence to try this. Even more outrageous levels of earned confidence to pull it off.
Damm you rule
your drum and guitar solo just blew my mind.
Wizard and Witch talking together with the stars around , just magic things happen here ! whou i love it !
Really great job. Thank you. Would be cool to see you play bass too.
Thanks, I might actually play bass on some tune where there's more going on with that instrument.... I tend to just mostly use the bass guitar as a support instrument, opting to just take solos with the guitar or drums or something, it would be nice to have a bass player collaborator TBH
Feels like you're at your sweetest point. You made me realize finger druming is a kind of art. Bravo!
Cool The room needs more chairs for Tory who plays the bass
That will be tricky
I'm so glad your channel is growing!! Holy crap Tory you just keep coming with the hits and I'm just glad to be here! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Would not have thought this a piece for a telecaster fit, but there it is. I really liked I.O.U. and I found that rendition delightful.
Good on y'all for supporting a fantastic talent.
I'm at 01.21 where the first solo kicks off and I'm thinking "here we go, I'm in for a treat"...🔥
I love the way this starts up... and the rest, too.
I would like to see a guitar battle between you and Matteo :o) , I am betting on you of course :o)
Damn this is really good!
Stunning. Just stunning. Thank you again for sharing.
👋🙂
Getting me over hump day with flying colors!
Great drumming! The yamaha has really unfolded your drumming skills!
I don't know if it's really changing anything, I just have more pads and better response, I've already kind of already know how this stuff works, even if it was in my head or just listening to it or looking at the notation etc I used to meticulously program in drum parts, so this is like instant composition in a way
@@TorySlusher Yes but the older gear was really holding you back. This new Yamaha model has unleashed much more potential.
Thanks to you. you are an incredible, wonderful and super talented artist!🥰🤘🤘
This is great. Tons of color in these chord voicings. Love it.
Best part is you keep grooving out on the drum machine and stare away from it. Wonderful cover and yeah, you’re so talented yaddah yaddah yaddah…
Someday everyone will see the insane badass in Tory. Can’t believe she doesn’t have like eleventy bajillion followers 😢
I think it's really neat you both are wearing the same outfit. 😁
Amazing chops! (and, like always, everything else) You shredded way better than many people who attempt to do such covers with distortion. As we used to say back then, Holdsworht never fails, and also Tory never fails too.
Oo goody!❤ 90seconds in and my jaw is already on the floor. BRAVO!🎉
Instant classic 👌I love Allan's work.
And this was amazingly done.
Keep on rocking. Blessings 🙏
AI chips in your finger tips? Effortlessly and pleasant, surprises included. Allan who? Those chords toward the end!
this is far out! the drumming takes me back to listening to Bob Parlocha's jazz show on NPR 15 years ago. very interesting stuff. great work.
I got excited about this one. So good! 🎉 And yes sounds great w/ headphones!
Super great Tory. Drums are so cool too, i predict awesome creative outcomes with this device.
Brilliant! Never seen anything like it.
Amazing! Gotta say I find this more listenable and inspiring than Holdsworths own album version. Less stressed, more time, more space, more musical. The bass doesn't getting in the way helps a lot.
The drumming is stellar. @yamahaglobal should get you on their socials pronto!!
Well thanks, that's an enormous compliment. I kind of like the hard edge to alienation and sort of vibe that holdsworth gave off though... I'm intentionally trying to do more of a Corea acoustic band or Keith Jarrett type thing.... It's kind of this aesthetic, you know plus where I'm shooting in the room it's kind of an intimate thing but it's still kind of a big sound at the same time... Sort of like my own NPR tiny desk setup. That's why I've been using this modern Jazz preset kit and this thing instead of the regular full-on modern acoustic kits, it kind of has that vibe.
I would also point out that a lot of the time, since I already have spent so much time developing the whole pianistic approach to comping while you're playing etc that's just how I do a lot of arrangements, it's not even like me trying to impress anyone, it's just that I like the sound, The rhythms, the feel etc the whole approach. It kind of changes your trajectory mentally when you're just playing the lead kind of a thing... You might even have a tendency to play too much.
@@TorySlusher interesting observation about the alienation! I digg that in No Wave, Industrial etc but for Holdsworth I never read it that way. Maybe it's the mixes and productions. I.O.U is ok, but everything later sounds very 80's in a bad way to me.
Now that! This was one of your best so far!
Great lines unique playing all around 🙂
I always happy when you perform with your twin.
love it.. more please..
Wow!
perfect again the playing and great to listen to good on you TROY
You really are amazing, Tory.
Wonderful!
Love the interpretation of Allan's tune, I think he would have loved it. I especially liked you swinging it, very cool improv !!
It kind of swings already, I mean the original version he did.... Gary Novak would just play like a regular jazz type beat instead of all of the extra stuff that Gary husband and Chad wakerman would do...
Oh maaan, that was SWEET! Great job! 💪🔥🔥🔥
incredible, especially love the solo, lovely crisp tone on those lines
Thanks, for some reason I've found that ceramic magnet pickups seem to do better for me than the alinco...
Amazing! Beautiful! Keep up the great work Tory! My guitar teacher is floored.
👋🙂
astonishing
humbling
wow
Brain melted 🫠
I absolutely love your version. I am a big fan of your playing!
Thanks 👋🙂
Listening on Adam A5X monitors. I can say I knew Tory before she self-combusted (because she was so fire!). heheh I knew Tory before she OD'd (because she was so dope!) ok... trying to be funny. :( Man, you really have those dang arpeggio octaves down. Not just maj or min but extended ones that are kind of like 5 and 6 notes. Almost a full scale but not. How you can navigate chords on the left and soloing is just crazy. I'd be stumbling over my left hand notes and my fingers are totally not long and percussive enough to tap just on my right hand like a piano player. But it's always fun watching you do this tapping magic. I rewatched the Paganini one yesterday. That has so many techniques and ideas. Very cool stuff.
brilliant!! ❤drums has always been my undoing, when self recording , I’ve just ordered the FGDP30 ,
Thanxx Tory for the inspiration ❤🌹
👋🙂
Damn you played great! Also shout out to the drummer!
BRAVO as always
Love it!
Well done!
Damn.
Crikey! 😸 Amazing stuff.
Epic.
Now do “Looking Glass”❤
Yeah, I could, but I don't want to do a bunch of one artist in a row...
🔥🔥🔥🔥 love this take on the solo section
great interpretation of a great tune!
Superlative, brava, bravissima!
I was accepted into the group and propped you up not realizing you're a member. You obviously know Chip. Those who were aware were like, "That's Tory!" those who weren't aware were like "Dear God!" That was so funny!
☺️... It happens
Very interesting...and lovely as usual! Nothing wrong with trios, right? I will say that as amazing as Chick was, he sounded almost robotic at times. Your playing tends to be more organic to my ear. Anyway, thanks for pulling this off. I would love to hear you play The Sixteen Men of Tain. Would the FGDP work for that tune?
Spaventosamente speciale
dope swagness
fire as always
.......That was Great Tory.......my FGDP---30 will be here tomorrow..... can't wait......what kind of bass you're using?.....4 -5 or 6 string .....or bass simulator on your guitar?
I'm actually using a fender Coronado hollow body bass
yo that was AWESOME
Now you're both equally cool
Damn!
❤❤❤❤
Pretty sick, yo.
Watching unpressured playing at any speed, taking time to think it out where there appears no time, to get past the work to the music. That's coming through as a concept to pursue, even maybe for beginners to see in action.
😂 Just ordered one from Sweetwater. Wonder how many bought this unit because of your videos!? YAMAHA should send you a cut.😅 OK, know my results may vary, but looks fun.
Honestly, I'm hearing a lot about it being ordered, so maybe quite a few
@TorySlusher Yo, Yamaha, send this lady a sponsorship offer
10/10
Hahaha you are so cool
i'm "properly" slushed
i'm still having a a hard time telling you two apart.
🤘😔🎸🤘😔🎸🤘😔🎸🤘😔🎸
pretty sure the world needs some tory slusher/max ostro colab...
I mean no disrespect when I say, "Pee pee tingling!"
That could be an either way thing
Wow, love your way Tory. Is it a cavaquinho on the wall ? Will you play it some time ?🥰🥰🥰😃😍😍😍😍
It's just a regular ukulele, yeah I've been missing around with that lol
@@TorySlusher 😘
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I love me some Holdsworth! Hey where did you find that chick on drums that looks little like you?
Only just slightly
@@TorySlusherI told one of AH's daughters about you.
your hand drumming is splendid. i wish i had a girlfriend like you, sigh...
😂... I see what you did there. 👋😊... Oh wait a minute, I better not make that gesture... 🫵🧐
Quelle classe !!!
Qui joue la basse ou contrebasse ?
I did that off of camera
