      I thought that too when he started off. The head and the beginning of his solo are very major pentatonic sounding, but he settles into the changes better as his solo goes on. And he knows, even if he doesn't exactly nail, the Brown and Roach ending.
      As I listen to more of these Studio Jams tracks, some are good... some not so much. Kind of what you expect when not everyone in the band knows the tunes inside and out.

    Very interesting that metal like delay on the guitar is in places a bit much at a few points though truly sublime, where the guitar solo and the keyboards were intertwined,
    around the 12th fret, and working off and around through each other like a colorful spunky baroque round....
    Thank You

  • @grantgre
    @grantgre 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    The thing about guitar is that it is both an acoustic and an electronic instrument and basically back in the day there was very little you could do to augment your electronic sound. So they got the biggest guitars that had the nicest sound for some reason I don't think anybody really knows why 400 sounds better than a Les Paul for jazz but it does.

    • @gillesvaneeden3313
      @gillesvaneeden3313 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If you play yourself, you'll find out right away why hollow body guitars sound better in this setting:
      1. Dynamics - acoustic guitars spend their energy quickly, giving a strong attack, quick decay and short sustain. This prevents muddiness and enables the guitar to mix better with other, highly dynamic instruments.
      2. Color - on acoustic guitars, the interaction between strings is much stronger than on a solid body. The resonance of different chords and intervals become amplified, lending liveliness and interesting colors to the sound. By comparison, a solid body will sound flat.

    • @grantgre
      @grantgre 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, jazz guitars sound better, Thanks Rick Jordan for the scientific analysis. Ulf Wakenus for instance, who plays a black Les Paul who gets a great tone. Studio recordings show the sound can be virtually identical. But, playing live shows shows the limitation for some reasons. Young guys now are playing semi-hollow and solid body's more and more, I think because, they are a lot easier to play. Flat wound strings are also harder to play on the big jazz boxes.
      The youngsters are also using a lot of effects which mask the natural sound of the guitars. Effects over used, can be monochromatic in effect and leads me to lament.

    Sorry, but this is my first thumbs down on you tube. I'm a Jazz Nut!!! I don't know, but for some reason I just don't feel this brother, Mark Witfield. I've tried several times to listen to him, but every time I feel the same way. Am I missing something? He always has the prettiest guitars but it always seems like he's trying too hard. Sorry but I just don't feel him like I feel Bobby Broom, Ed Cherry or Russell Malone. Maybe they are more experienced, I don't know. Comments are welcome, maybe i'm wrong .
