Your channel is pure gold. I don't need to be entertained. There is plenty of that on TH-cam. I have waited 50 yrs for access to the knowledge that only comes from doing this daily like you do. Thanks Justin. God bless you.
Thanks! A coffee on me. I'm a retired guy and now without needing a day job I identify as a guitar playing songwriter, at least trying to be. I'm learning so much from your channel.
I can't get enough of these. So important for us to understand how parts are put together and not just a jam session. Lots of great jam sessions on the tube this differentiates itself from them in a BIG way. Thanks Justin
I am a retired Bus driver. I love your channel. I watch Rick Beato, Ola England, The Guitaristas, and a bunch of other guitar channels. I like punk, go figure.
just came here: yeah, bill frisell!!! now i know why i relate so much with your approach. his version of «i heard it through the grapevine» (also from the east-west) is just from another world. great work on your side, too. much appreciated! thx!
Man when you started naming Bill Frisell albums I immediately thought of Shanendoah on the East West album. So true that was a mind blowing live performance on so many levels…some other really good stuff on that album as well!
Justin, I have just watched this "older" video..... it's great great great.... thank you... I am planning to send you one of my songs for your series of "not criticizing" but giving this great subtle advice.... Greetings from Germany
It’s sounds like a Hillsong track just with the ambient backing track. Huge crossover in modern pop with Christian music. Top lining melodic counter parts on guitar whilst not interfering is something I’ve always been drawn to. It’s a skill for sure! 🙏
I love your videos, I'm so glad I found your channel. These videos made me love guitar again. It's hard when you have to self-produce all the time.. hard to motivate yourself to go through all that work.. writing, recording, singing, bass, guitar, drums, mixing, master, etc etc etc etc.. would be a dream to just be able to sit back and play some guitar over a track. I miss the simplicity of it.. the idea of producing your own stuff front to back was alluring 10 years ago, now it's just daunting and horrible most of the time. You're living the dream.
That Novo Serus is a beauty. Love your sense of time. Right in the pocket. I really love these videos. I draw so many similarities to my own style. Thanks for sharing your talent and philosophy … and work ethic. 🙏
Justin, I always love your narrative even on an extra cup of java. Your musical ideas captivate the crap out of my ears and heart. Keep on keepin' on my friend! Zhlang and Phloom on at your heart's content! LOL
Justin Nice playing and also sharing the space with the other guys. A lot of guitar players only want them selves to be heard but it's a band ans we all have our moments to shine. I am not trying to be a know it all, but when I record I mostly try and do rhythm and lead guitar this way if I have to do it live it's easy. You can defiantly do too much on a record that can not be reproduced by 1 or 2 guitarist.
Listened to this video just before going into a performance today . . . so I can go in and Ostrander all over it. :) Thanks for the pop rock vibes, they are just what this band of ours needs.
Doo wop, one of the precursor genres to power pop has an unusually high amount of major 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th intervals on most of the songs. I pull apart a lot of those songs @rickbeato style to see why I love it so much
Another great video thanks Justin! My friend uses the word ‘Garroot’ , which is like. ‘Flume’ (?) only you start at the bottom of the neck and go up and back down again 😂
Holy Crap! Per your recommendation I'm listening to the first Floratone album and it is totally cool! Thanks for pointing me to it! Great video as always too!
Yeah, keep laying down them schlangz! Love the amp-display, great lighting (warm fireplace yellow). Video looks amasing. And great that we also can see abit of the DAW-screen-tracking-process. A shclanged diamond followed by a sturdy floom is a stellar way to enter a powerful chorus, never forget :) Love the channel, keep it up.
Why is it that I find myself agreeing with everything you say. I have been recording and mixing my own music back to a Roland VS2480CD back to 2001. Every video, I learn that I have been doing a lot of things right. I might have you review a song of mine.
You've got good taste. Wish you'd make some Timeline settings! I'm dreadful at making them and need a really bitching Ping Pong even after having my delay for many years. Wow - that East West version is spectacular/inspiring.
Haha, you're making the live performance really expensive, if they have to cover all of those tracks 🙂 Loved this track, and I'm learning so much from this. For years, I've tried to get all the parts in the recordings when playing live. It has always felt way too busy for me, so I haven't enjoyed it. But you just issued a creative license, Ty!
Loved this song and your playing. Cool to watch you in the process. You get such great tones on single-coil pickups. I am having so much trouble with 60Hz hum recording on my laptop using Fosusrite and Behringer audio interfaces (city house vs farm house, both old houses). True for all my single-coil Fenders and Epiphone P90s. Only my Fender Tele Deluxe, Washburn ES335 and Epiphone LP with humbuckers sound clean enough. Strangely, my Boss ME-25 pedal board with integrated audio interface does not have this problem. Maybe its old wiring in the two houses. So frustrating. I am stumped.
I can’t eliminate it and keep the same tone, so I just try to mitigate as best I can. This is a major reason that I keep my guitars turned away from the computer in these videos.
This is super cool - I play in a country band that plays all eras; lately I am fed up with compressor pedals and have been trying to get by using different overdrives for sustain…….. do you think that is weird? Substituting a mild overdrive for comp sounds in country music??
Man I get it; it’s inspiring and makes us want to play. But the song is just simply not about the guitar player. The players who work the most rein that in and can turn it on only when needed.
It would be really useful and informative if you could make a video (or a few) where you demonstrate how you would re-arrange tracks you created parts for into a single live part assuming no backing tracks used by the band. It is difficult to know what to leave out and what to include.
Thanks for the reply. I think the part that is unclear for me (and clear for you) is knowing what is the most important thing in each section, and what other things can be left out. I do think it would be very informative to hear your detailed thought process as you convert a production/arrangement rich track into a single live guitar part.@@JustinOstrander
Justin - enjoyed your perspective on playing with effects vs. playing/recording dry. Even though I am a total novice, I do get a certain amount of inspiration from playing with effects because it sounds more complete. If I had to play dry, I'd have to record it as a simultaneous second track. You mentioned a topic near the end of the video "if they are running rhythm guitar tracks live in a separate rig". As part of your work, have artists used some of your tracks live, and do you have to approve that?
They used to. And the union charged a set rate for it. But artists felt like the rate was too high. Many of them got around it by hiring someone to replay the rhythm tracks from the master exactly. Then they use those tracks live. They pay that person a single day rate so they don’t have to pay for repeated usage. I do still get a check when a song I played on is performed live on TV. Often, the band is miming the parts, and you’re just hearing the parts from the record. Players get compensated for that.
@@JustinOstrander That brings up a related topic: is there a job market for musicians who only re-create or duplicate original recordings? That is, apart from Muzak.
Hi. Really like your patient accurate playing. 2nd pass at lead is spot on - bend,release,bend ending fits great- emotional. Also, I was waiting for the drop D(b), did you think it's a bit heavy for the tune's atmospheric feel? ♫
Okay. If they all want one or both forward in the mix, you gave the option. Smart. @@JustinOstranderAlso, I edit my comment - "light atmosphere" may sound like lacking, or judgement. Tony and Tim, and Justin did great work.
I just want a click that I can turn down and still hear. My favorite in ProTools is shaker 2. I can keep the volume low and it will still poke through enough.
I was wondering that too. And about the similarities and differences between the Novo and the Dano J. No way do I get to try a Novo in Perth, Western Australia.
When you play without the track it sounds like your signal is pretty wet. But when it’s in the track it completely fades into the track perfectly like your intentionally using effects to get the guitar the correct distance into the track. Can you explain how you do that? I find I’m always too sensitive to having to much effect but then there isn’t enough vibe or it’s to close feeling.
That’s a good way to put it. You definitely hear it when it’s by itself, but it just helps create space in the mix. I’d start with everything down really low and slowly bring it up until it sounds good to you.
Your "buddy Timmy" as in Tim Galloway? I did a session with him where we both played acoustic... Great player and even greater dude! Ask him about the nickname he had on the session with me (this is Jim Coates).
@@JustinOstrander- No, we started calling him "Bad Jim". Everyone else on the session had a "J" name, but Tim couldn't just be "Jim" because I was there. So the engineer dubbed me "Good Jim" and him "Bad Jim" for the rest of the session.
Your channel is pure gold. I don't need to be entertained. There is plenty of that on TH-cam. I have waited 50 yrs for access to the knowledge that only comes from doing this daily like you do. Thanks Justin. God bless you.
Much appreciated!
Thanks! A coffee on me. I'm a retired guy and now without needing a day job I identify as a guitar playing songwriter, at least trying to be. I'm learning so much from your channel.
Same here with the addition of weekend city grandpa and weekday farmer grandpa.
It's nice to see how it's done
Watching you add these parts with such emotion and just nailing them take after take is so inspiring.
God I love that JM sound especially.
That Bill Frisell Shenandoah from East Wesr. Woah. Thank You
I love how being the guitarist becomes second to producing. Something for everyone here. Thanks for sharing your craft
Lord, Bill! Why does no one talk about the genius of Bill Frisell? He’s incredible. I first heard him on Nora Jones’ debut. What a player.❤
I can't get enough of these. So important for us to understand how parts are put together and not just a jam session. Lots of great jam sessions on the tube this differentiates itself from them in a BIG way. Thanks Justin

Man when you started naming Bill Frisell albums I immediately thought of Shanendoah on the East West album. So true that was a mind blowing live performance on so many levels…some other really good stuff on that album as well!
For those who's asking, the song he is recording on the video is "Get You Backroads" by Zac & George. You're welcome!
Bach and Bill Frisell is honestly all you need
Gosh that Jazzmaster sounds unreal! 🤤
Thanks for introducing me to Bill Frisell! Great stuff!
I agree about Bill Frisell. Love his approach to everything
Justin, I have just watched this "older" video..... it's great great great.... thank you... I am planning to send you one of my songs for your series of "not criticizing" but giving this great subtle advice.... Greetings from Germany
Man, those parts and tones are great. Love the channel and appreciate all the good stuff you share here. Take care!
Your overall mindset, playing, musicality, and ear for what the song needs are a band leader’s absolute dream.
It’s sounds like a Hillsong track just with the ambient backing track. Huge crossover in modern pop with Christian music. Top lining melodic counter parts on guitar whilst not interfering is something I’ve always been drawn to. It’s a skill for sure! 🙏
That Jazzmaster sounds awesome 😮
Thanks for introducing me to Bill Frisell! And thanks for another master class when it comes to tasty playing!
Bro, I’m so inspired by your videos and channel. I appreciate you!

Thanks for the heads up on Bill Frisell, I've been hearing his name for quite some time but never checked him out until now.

Frisell 2024!!!
I've always put my delay and verb before the amp! Always played in to cleanish amps and never had a problem. Pedal platform for the win i guess.
That Novo Serus is a beauty. Love your sense of time. Right in the pocket. I really love these videos. I draw so many similarities to my own style. Thanks for sharing your talent and philosophy … and work ethic. 🙏
I dig your channel😊..playing music for a living is waaay more funner than teaching MATH...boring!
Love watching and learning how you build parts!
Justin, I always love your narrative even on an extra cup of java. Your musical ideas captivate the crap out of my ears and heart. Keep on keepin' on my friend! Zhlang and Phloom on at your heart's content! LOL
Jhalang is a technical term used to describe a chord played vigorously dynamically 😂
The Dave holland and Elvin jones record with bill frisell is great 👍🏼

what a great vibe! Nice job on all the parts Justin!

“Ostrander” a new verb!!! Love it!

Great stuff as always, Justin.
Love your videos!! There’s so much to learn from this material! Keep it up sir!
I appreciate it man!
Great idea.Improving on a not so professional with a professional.Great stuff.Keep making videos and you will be on uncle Larry's heels in no time.
Great vid as always, beautiful and tasty playing... As I mentioned a couple of years ago, Chicka, Flume, Schlange T-shirts would be a hit!!
Another great video thanks Justin! My friend uses the word ‘Garroot’ , which is like. ‘Flume’ (?) only you start at the bottom of the neck and go up and back down again 😂
Another amazing insight into the directive process Thanks again.
These are so educational!
Holy Crap! Per your recommendation I'm listening to the first Floratone album and it is totally cool! Thanks for pointing me to it!
Great video as always too!
Beautiful and inspiring music. Has this song been released?
Great video as usual, Justin. I would love to see how you would approach writing/arranging an instrumental piece like Bill Frisell.
Yeah, keep laying down them schlangz! Love the amp-display, great lighting (warm fireplace yellow). Video looks amasing. And great that we also can see abit of the DAW-screen-tracking-process. A shclanged diamond followed by a sturdy floom is a stellar way to enter a powerful chorus, never forget :) Love the channel, keep it up.
I dig the new amp rack! Of course the guitar parts, tone, playing etc is always top notch.
Paul Butterfield released an album Called "East West" one of my favorite albums. Just sayin. Great Video as usual. Thanks Justin.😎
T shirt idea... It don't mean a thang if it ain't got that jlang 😎
I enjoy the videos have a wonderful day 😊
HAS to be a t-shirt!!!
What does? “Simple parts, huge results?”
Why is it that I find myself agreeing with everything you say. I have been recording and mixing my own music back to a Roland VS2480CD back to 2001. Every video, I learn that I have been doing a lot of things right. I might have you review a song of mine.

Hey Justin! Has this song been released? I’d love to hear it all in context to the song! Thanks! :)
You've got good taste.

If it sounds good, it is good. I’m not a fan of compressor pedals, either.
how do you refrain from soloing? I would have to get it out of my system before I could do the parts! Song sounds Amazing!
Man I get it; it’s inspiring and makes us want to play. But the song is just simply not about the guitar player. The players who work the most rein that in and can turn it on only when needed.
Cool song! Not sure if I missed it, but does anyone know the title and artist? :)

Yep

Great video. Curious, how long will you typically spend on tracking electric guitars for a tune like this?

Question: Do you prefer the electronic metronome sound for a click track vs a simulated traditional acoustic metronome tic-toc?
I just want a click that I can turn down and still hear. My favorite in ProTools is shaker 2. I can keep the volume low and it will still poke through enough.
Great tune! Cool that you were influenced by Bill Frisell! What about Pat Metheny and Ralph Towner?
Less so with those two. I didn’t really go too far down the jazz route…
@@JustinOstrander OK...
Very cool! What P90s are in the Novo?
I was wondering that too. And about the similarities and differences between the Novo and the Dano J. No way do I get to try a Novo in Perth, Western Australia.
I believe Danos come stock with Curtis Novak pickups... It's what are in my Jazzmaster..
My Dano has Peter Leonard jazzmaster pickups. The Novo has Fralin P90s
I’d love to hear the Novo P90s clean…
Justin, What headphones are you using?
