Jeff Beck Tune From Friday Night - Gibson CS336 Content

[Guitar Dave T]

From this past Friday night with my band, Revival, using a recently aquired Gibson CS-336:

BECAUSE WE'VE ENDED AS LOVERS

Amp is a 93 Fender Blues Deluxe with Celestion V30 speaker.

Effects are a stock Voodoo Sparkle Drive, stock Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer and stock old Boss DM2 Analog Delay.

Enjoy!

Very, very nice, man. The whole band sounds great, & your tones are full & phrasing is spot on. You could be a little louder, though (ain't that always the truth!)

[Guitar Dave T]

Thanks, BG.

Actually, guitar mix was probably better than it seemed, but where I had the single stereo recording mic placed was a bit out of the amp's line of fire.

Nice, man! Played that 356 like it should be played!

[Guitar Dave T]

I am learning more about the variety of incredible tones that guitar provides every time I pick it up.

My first real guitar back in the 70's, after a series of cheap, no-name, 60's imports, was a 335. The CS 336 is like a 335 on steroids.

Hey Guitar Dave T,

Thanks for posting this! This just made me want to consider getting a keyboard player to join my band live. You guys really played that with sensitivity and class. Well done man!

[Strat335]

Great job, G. Dave. One of my all time favorite songs. I'm thinking about a 336 that I can't afford, you ain't helping me a bit! LOL

[Guitar Dave T]

John C: Are keyboard players plentiful in your area? They're are quite a few good ones around here, but most don't want to do unpaid rehearsals.

Strat335: I'm still in the honeymoon stage with the 336, but it's the best honeymoon I've been on.

Very nice, man! Great tone and feeling, and this song is not the easiest I know...
:AOK

[Guitar Dave T]

Thanks, BP. This is one of those songs I learned, note-for-note, almost 20 years ago. On this particular clip, the only deviations were not necessarily due to artistic license, but momentary brain farts. I just forgot a bit here and there.

Today, the only songs I still try to do note-for-note are those where I lack experience in a particular style.

Eventually, those notes become part of a bigger vocabulary that morphs into my own style, but at the end of the day, it's all, as Martin Mull put it, "Licks off a record that I stole". <g>

Your version reminds me of the one on the "secret policeman" LP or something like that.
It was Jeff Beck with Eric Clapton playing at a show for Amnesty International if I remember well. By far the best version of this song I know.
Jeff Beck has this magic touch... Many players can play the notes, but not so much with emotion.
I'm sure you know what I mean. ;)
