Thanks! It’s a Fender Strat Vintera 50s Mod

Thanks!!

Thank you very very much!! It’s a Fender Strat Vintera 60s Mod

He’s awesome!!

I had to steal that one 😂 Thanks!!

Yes! That’s right!!

I do not mind at all! In fact, I’m very flattered!! As you can see, guitar wise I’m on the middle pick up (the volume is high). Only three pedals are on, first a Tube Screamer Mini, then a JHS Notaklön, and finally a Bluesbreaker reissue. They all have the tone/treble knobs a little past halfway, such as the gain knobs (I use the Klon that way, unlike John). The volume on the pedals is set in a way that it raises the overall volume a little (not much, but not 0). Bear in mind that all pedals can have slightly different knobs so just grab the general idea of it. The amp is a Fender Blues Junior Lacquered Tweed: volume at 5 and master volume at 2, a lot of bass on the EQ as for treble it’s set around 8 and the mids are set to 5. Just a little reverb (I added a bit more while mixing because it wasn’t enough). Then in the mixing phase I just made a few changes in the eq but very slight and probably a bit of compression The amp mic is an SM57 In the video there’s also a very tiny bit of sound that was captured by the phone mic (I did it that way so that the sound sounded more punchy and in your face probably because of the pick, which is a 1.5mm). My advice to get this sound: if you have pedals and amp try going for a very overdriven sound, not necessarily by turning the gain knob all the way up, but by see how it reacts to the guitar volume in order to get the best combination. If you go to my RUclips page you can find my Instagram link (I post gear stuff on my stories sometimes) Have a great day and thank you for your attention!!

@@vasco_music You know, you look like John Mayer and you play a bit like him too. Thanks for your detailed response. Thanks for taking the time off of your busy day in order to write that for me.

Thanks! He’s one of my biggest influences, plus we share a lot of other influences too so that helps (but still I want to sound like me) It’s my pleasure! Thank YOU for taking the time to watch my videos, that means a lot!

😂😂

Exactly! 👍

Muchas gracias! 🙏 that really means a lot to me Please subscribe for even MORE solos!!

Gracias! 🙏 that means a lot!!

Thank you so much! Have a great weekend!!

Thank you so much! Cheers!

Thanks!

Thank you so much! It’s his solo segment of Blue Sky, very melodic player

It’s awesome! Do you have any videos?

@@vasco_music That's not in my skill set. For me, Sugaree is like Dark Star: it's always playing in my brain. Thanks for your video.

Thank you! I do that as well along the day! I jam in my imagination and then try to “transcribe” some licks If you want you can subscribe to my channel for more videos or even follow me on ig for more small covers and pedal stuff (link is in my page)

@@vasco_music Thanks!

Thank you so much! Cheers!!

Thank you so much! Cheers

Yes I can! Probably next month I’ll do it or even in the end of this one! Thank you very much! Please subscribe so that you don’t miss it! Have a good one

Acoustic or full band (where I play all the instruments)?

@@vasco_musicIf could do it the acoustic like this video!

Simplesmente VASCO DA GAMA

Tell me!

@@ErikSeiferrlol 😂

Waitin’ on the day

Thank you so much! Cheers!

Gained another sub! Keep it going!

Thank you so so much!! I’ll keep it going and I’ll keep on practicing as much as possible, as one should! Thanks again and may your week be awesome!

Thank you so much! It’s funny how so much time listening to music and practicing (with a lot of frustration from terrible licks and ideas) leads to only a few minutes of playing. Your comment means a lot. If you like you can follow me on instagram for a more detailed insight into what I do (practice wise and tone wise). instagram.com/vascoo_____?igsh=NXczOG5jZzNoamFx& Have an awesome day! Cheers!

Everyone keeps saying that lol Thanks! Please subscribe if you want for more music content! Cheers!

It's because he has practiced and adopted the mannerisms, obviously. Nice playing

Thank you very much! That’s true, but in this video there’s only one thing inspired by him and that’s the pick up position! If you check some other videos (only if you want) you’ll see how I take a lot from him I have a lot of other influences by the way Cheers!

@@vasco_musicit’s ok to be inspired by other artists, and most of us go through different phases of influence over time as a young teen I was super into Bruce Hornsby and styled a lot of what I did after him, over time I got into the Doors type solos, and then as I got older I appreciated the Leon Russell style more than anything else all those different phases will help create your own unique style in the end hopefully, just gotta keep at it 👍🏼

Exactly! The Doors are awesome! I love playing their songs on the keys, even more than on the guitar! Have a great day and thanks!

Thank you very much! That means a lot!

Thank you so much! Please subscribe for further videos and if you like you can follow me on instagram where I share my pedalboard and tone stuff on my stories instagram.com/vascoo_____?igsh=NXczOG5jZzNoamFx& Have a great day!

I get your point honestly and that’s one of the things I want to develop. Almost all guitar players start by emulating other guitar players so that’s a step. If you look at a jam I did over a blues backing track you start to see some stuff I developed on my own, as well as in some Dead jams Anyway, this is a cover of a solo not a solo of my own so saying I have no identity doesn’t make much sense (it would if I sounded like someone else when trying to sound like me)

@@vasco_musicbros just being kind of a dick tbh. Sounded great! Keep at it brother 👊

Thank you! I dearly appreciate that!

@@vasco_music you got chops but just be yourself not a jm wanna be

@KolsonJohanson I’m not, this is just a cover of one of his solos. I also posted some Stones covers where I used a telecaster with only five strings, does that mean I’m a Keith Richards wanna be? Not at all. I take stuff from my influences that’s all, but when I do covers it will show more of the artist that I’m covering (if the purpose of the cover is to replicate exactly what they’re doing, some covers can differ from the original of course, but this wasn’t the case)

Thank you very much! Have a good one!

Yeah I definitely need a little more drive! Thank you so much 💪

Thanks! 🙏 Hate is part of the game, so I’ll gladly ignore it I’ll keep on practicing to get better and better everyday. It’s a continuous process 💪 May everything go the way you want it to, if not today, then certainly someday! Wish you all the best, have an exceptional week!

Thank you so much! Negativity will always exist, never take anything from it except the fact that you did something good enough to the point of annoying other people. There will be always someone showing hate, but I interpret it as a sign of gaining dimension and doing something properly done. Have the BEST week and thank you for your kind words! Keep your positivity shining, it certainly makes a difference!

Well, what matters is the guitar playing (and also every other instrument that I play on the backing track). If that’s ok the rest doesn’t matter

You guessed correctly! Any song requests?

@@vasco_musicmost humble John Mayer fan

Well, what can I do?

Thank you! Cheers!

What why?

Wdym?

Nesse caso, muito obrigado! 🙏

Thank you so much for your kind words! Have a great day!

What do you mean?

Lol 😂

Thanks!
