    I love how's he's got that radial outlay of the frets, pointing perpendicular at the node at the 7th fret, meaning he can play down below 7 with a better wrist angle. That is a fiendishly badass designed instrument !

    • @azzans
      @azzans 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      they're called fanned frets.
      they do what you say here, while also working the intonation.

    • @BrunodeSouzaLino
      @BrunodeSouzaLino 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Fanned frets are not for that reason. They were invented by Ralph Novax so the strings would have better distributed tension across the neck by having different scale lengths.

    • @tombstoneharrystudios584
      @tombstoneharrystudios584 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I recall john pizzarelli doing something similar on his 7 string. The nature of the instrument means that he can play Root 5 bassline with one finger, freeing up the other three for chords and melody
      And like Charlie here, he uses a handful of shapes but his rhythmic groove is so good it works Musically.

      Its just a 4 minute video that was likely the ending of his clinic where he dived into stuff.
      Also his point is to know your theory well enough from when you practice so that when you play live you play phrases more intuitively and with less thought. Hope that helps.

Doggett for the organ-type chord fragments and bass lines, Butler for the tasty blues-jazz guitar lines, and oh by the way, that drummer sounds great, too.

      it's not nonsense. he's singing. he's vocalizing the notes he's playing. it's known as scat, in jazz. most guitar players (most people who play any instrument) do this instinctively. you sort of sing along with your instrument. you follow the melody. for some, it's a low and almost inaudible humming. for others it comes out yelling (like Stevie Ray Vaughn). some players try to silence their vocalization but they're still feeling the notes. this is why some people make that weird 'guitar face' because the emotion is still coming through.

    Here’s a thought. If this guy hired a bass player he could play monster guitar and you’d probably get better bass lines! But then he’s not doing his party trick of doing both and getting lots of reaction from the ‘if it’s technically difficult it’s got to be good’ guys. Personally I would love to hear this guy just play guitar or bass because he would be absolutely one of the best.
