A cure for insomnia - some people would pay good money for that!

Hi Pete- did you mention the original dark was the night? Can’t see the comment now 🤔

@ hey Jeremy I was saying if you chose do the original too! It’s do classic !

More than welcome - glad someone got something out of my ramblings 😆

Another Shijie in the wild! I have to say that I kind of thought more people would be playing them. I think perhaps the marketing or price point or something isn’t quite dialed in right. 🤔

@ yes I agree. When I bought it it was cheaper, I have an S type and a T type. The S type has stainless steel and a lot of the features you need to pay a fair bit more for now. The T style is a newer purchase at 800 GBP but I think they’re more now with shipping and everything can put it to over 1k and I think that’s a bit over what it should be. Not from a quality point of view but from the point of view of someone who is talking a risk on the brand you know?

@@LeeJCanderoh right I’ve lost touch with the models and pricing but asking a grand for a Chinese guitar just won’t sit right with many players. And like you say it’s nothing to do with quality either. It’s just that story that runs through western culture of US made guitars being the best. It’s a hard one to shift. I’m sure people would even buy a US guitar if it was objectively worse than another AND pay more for the privilege! I contacted shijie trying to buy one of their necks a few years ago but they didn’t for for it. Think they need an overhaul. Cut costs somehow keep the neck and keep the rest bare bones. Really think 0:06 they need some help with marketing and overall branding.

@ yeah I agree. We had a good supplier in the uk at one point. Kept the price down by batch ordering popular colours that’s how I got my tele. What’s sad is my S type is unreal. It was the last model they made in the original factory so other than the pickups has all the more premium priced stuff, but like I said, now it costs well over 1k and I don’t like the thought of paying a significant amount more than I did for the same thing you know? Though the two I have are beautiful. My tele is set up in open D as I begin my slide journey and sounds great. Honestly, my s type though… if I put in better pickups it’d compete with a suhr. It is pretty heavy though which is weird as the tele is so light. Having said that i actually like heavy guitars.

@@LeeJCander I just looked back and I paid $799 for my TLV in 2020. I thought it was slightly cheaper than that. In any case they are a grand now, that is a bit more than I would have expected. Looked at the website too...it's better than it was. Still needs an overhaul as does their line up...there's some super ugly semi-metal guitars in there. They should concentrate on the ones that sell, and try and reduce overheads. Nice that you've got the TLV in open D - that what I have it in, though I'll push it to open E. Use flat wounds on it these days, you should try that as well. What gauge are you using? I'm 12s I believe...though with flats I change them so infrequently it's hard to remember!

Thank you, much appreciated 🙏

Hi - could have been open G but based on the solo I’d say the 5th string was a. There’s a part in the second solo that is easier that way. Are you sure mick played the Les Paul for these concerts? I was fairly sure it was the 335 🤔

@@JeremyJames_studioIt‘s the Les Paul with the Bigsby MT bought from KR when he was in the Blues Breakers KR plays it on Honky Tonk Woman in the movie and there are photos of MT playing slide on it The rest of the time he played an SG KR played a number of guitars including a 355, black LP Custom, Dan Armstrong plexi And once again, very nice playing. I like to mess around with that solo but I play slide with my fingers' so it ends up sounding different

Is that so, most people who have dropped a comment liked the p90s. Not that there’s too much in it 🍻

Had to learn it for that video too! Love that song. Still can’t believe he’s gone…🥹

Hola! I used the Princeton reissue on about volume 4.5. Only pedal was the origin effects revival Trem (which is now named something else) which changed the sound a little and added the tremolo. If you use flat wound strings you’ll get closer to the sound than I did here using round wounds. 🙏

Gracias 🙂

Hi Mark - oh that’s good to know. I basically was answering the question I asked sweetwater ( who couldn’t answer it) - as in, how quiet is the paraeq compared to the other ones. I wish I could have thrown a modded boss one in - THAT is still a question for me. But the results I found were pretty obvious. 🍻

Thanks for this - most encouraging. I do feel I go long sometimes. In fact I would prefer to go even slower! Cause realistically if I was teaching face to face I would move slowly and throw in some mobility / precision moments as and when. Cheers 🍻

@@JeremyJames_studio there are so many nuances to slide playing to do with touch and intonation I don’t think you can give too much detail personally. Only stumbled across you today and hope the channel goes on to the success it deserves.

@@GH-cm3rrI completely agree with you. It’s an interesting process trying to calibrate an approach to presenting these details. I think I will slow down a little and introduce some of the practice points I use along the way. I kind of imagine most people are more or less where I am technically but unaware of the tab details - when in reality they are probably all over in terms of experience and ability. Thanks for the insight - it’s thought provoking.

Well thank you! Delighted to read this, you kind of made my day. Cheers 🍻

Yes they were my pick too 🙌

I did my best, but in reality recording resonators acoustically is a bit of a mystery to me!

It really is a classic. Like all great music I find it gets better the more time you spend with it as well. Cheers Stephen 🍻

@@JeremyJames_studio Agree 100%! I love both the original and Cooder’s version.

Yes yes I remembered to have a listen - loved it! 😊

@@JeremyJames_studio I’m actually off to see him tonight in the UK!

It would be the wise decision mate - especially if you don’t have a printer for the TAB!

Happy to hear that Pete. Hope all is well mate.

It’s going well! How long have you been playing Jeremy?

@@petestern3639 well Pete - been awhile I suppose 35 years? But in reality like most players - most of that is on a plateau!!

I think you should do the original too it’s so classic

Cheers Neal 🤓

Now i can play it proper

You bet Bruce! And you don’t need to take a haircut on the lesson either 😂

🍻

Thanks for the nice comment - regarding your slides just sitting there…did you give yourself some time to get used to it? Everyone sounds bad at the start! And did you set up your guitar to make it a bit easier to slide? 🤔

@@JeremyJames_studioI don’t even know how to set up my guitar in the manner your talking about.

@@licksnkicks1166right- basically you need a bit of extra tension on the strings - so heavier strings, 11s at least, and perhaps higher action so further distance from the strings to the neck. Strings that are slightly heavier will raise the action so that might be all you need to do for a start!

@@JeremyJames_studioI am not capable of 11’s broken fingers and arthritis. 10’s is the highest that I would be comfortable with. This is a whole other kettle of fish. There’s so much to learn. My life is too short! It’s 8 am and I am trying to squeeze in an hour if practice before I have to start my day.

I know! Didn’t get a whisper of thanks from them either 😆

​@@JeremyJames_studio Anyway i appreciated your choices on your channel. Not usual strings in France, maybe i'm not so curious :)

@@Methilde I don’t think they’re common strings anywhere - but they’re super good. Another thing is I just leave em on. I literally don’t change them! I guess I will eventually, but I’ve had them on for about nine months now and haven’t changed them yet!

@@JeremyJames_studio Thanks, i think i gonna try, which ones could you recommand me, playing mostly Blues/rock on a Les Paul ?

Ha! That’s in the movie isn’t it? Where exactly - I can’t recall 🤔

You're not going to believe this Bruce...but I just uploaded the guide...better late than never!

Is that so? I hadn’t heard that before, but it would certainly explain that kind of layered flange!

Too kind, thanks 🙏- seems like the sound of the canvas sheet blowing in the background didn’t distract you then!

@@JeremyJames_studio No I didn’t even notice it!

Cheers Neal - did see some old guy in the vicinity, think it was my dad though!

@@JeremyJames_studio 🤣

It’s a made in Taiwan version - pretty old. The mod is possible but living in hong kong makes organising /postage a little too complicated~!

That’s great - I was hoping someone found the comparison useful. Really highlights the difference. Apparently analogueman do a mod for the boss. That would be great as I actually prefer the sliders. 😅

Got some of it down really going mad over this been humming this for years

There’s something about this melody… I really gets into the bones, doesn’t it. 😆

Love the setting …can’t wait for the lesson

@@andybach13it’s on the way! 😅

Figured this out master watched to many tines

Muky!!

🙏

Welcome 🙏

Not really - just crunch. It’s as heavy as I go!

🙏

Hi! Hmm wasn’t clipping during recording and there’s always limiting on the mixbus - were you getting overs on your set up? 🤔

No I was just observing the waveform on your daw.

I've used the wrong word, it is not clipping It is about headroom

⁠@@podfigooh right - had a look just now and it look likes it’s peaking at -3db. Fine from the looks of it. More often I’m hitting 0.5 db on a 2-bus. Anyway….thanks for listening
