Great as usual... I think the vids are better with the new camera eh?
Good stuff and thats a nice sounding guitar.
I was reading a few of your posts and it sounds like we have a few things in common. For one, I've been playing guitar many years Jazz, Fusion, etc., and have discovered I like smaller body jazz guitars also. Infact, I recently sold all my 17" jazz boxes. I am looking for something that has good upper fret access. That being said, how is your Sadowsky? It reminds me a little of the Gibson Pat Martino guitar, ever played one? Did you ever get to try out a Gibson 339? If so what did you think? And lastly, what do you think of a Jazz guitar with 24 frets like the jazzica by Hofner? I apologize for so many questions, but you seem to play, or enjoy a similar style of music and I value your opinion, thanks.
Nice guitar, but WOAH, great playing. A lot of Jazz just sails straight over my head, but I found your chord voicings and lead playing to be very interesting. Thanks for posting that, and enjoy your new guitar - John
Thanks. One thing that makes a difference is vibrato. I think too many jazz guitarists don't end their phrases with a vibrato and it sounds unnatural to me. I didn't always feel this way and in fact, have played many a solo in the very style that sails over peoples' heads...
It looks as if you are looking for an axe that sounds great for straight ahead jazz and great for fusion/rock as well. If so, it looks like thats it to me. Great complex clean jazz tones. Not bright yet not dark if that makes sense.
Here's another vid using the Sadowsky. This one actually used to belong to Jack. My vid is not as pro.... the audio and video are not well sync'd, and the camera is cheap and lo res, but you can get the "idea"
