I’m convinced that this is what Leo Fender had in mind when he created the Jazzmaster. He’s up there thinking “Nobody got it back then. Now 60 years later, this guy is doing it on a Mustang!” Thanks again, Charlie. Great!
When Leo designed the Jazzmaster, he likely had in mind the so-called "western swing" of his era-think Roy Lanham’s Jazzmaster recordings. The very inclusion of a vibrato bridge (or "tremolo" in Fender’s parlance) signals a departure from traditional jazz, embracing a country or Hawaiian twist. It’s no surprise the Jazzmaster found its way into the hands of surf guitarists, though its deep, mellow tone-especially with heavy-gauge flatwound strings-makes it just as viable for jazz. But why are we even discussing the Jazzmaster when we should be celebrating the triumphant return of the broken Mustang gospel, as prophesied by Charlie Hunter?
@@OfficialCharlieHunter Yes that’s a wonderful book, and it’s great that so much of Leo’s life is well documented. There are mysteries though! I build amps, mostly derivatives or clones of 50’s and 60’s Fender amps. One of the main topics of conversation with other amp builders is “why did Leo do it that way?” The reasons for many decisions made at the drafting board or on the shop floor are lost. But I enjoy a good mystery.
how fixed do you make the arrangements for these songs? Or do you know these tunes so well that you just play around with it and record some versions? And are these all tunes you already knew or are you checking out these tunes for these video's? :) Love all of it and addicted to your GOTD's as well! 🚀🚀🚀
Thanks! I actually know these tunes pretty well but some of them I’m learning. I don’t really have arrangements per se. I just kind of play them more or less.

High praise indeed. Leo was a genius. Have you read “The Birth Of Loud”?

When it sounds so natural you don't fully realize they are using the bar until nearly two minutes in 😆Good stuff.
These have been absolutely beautiful
The loveliness continues.
Cool ending.
Your 1966 Fender Mustang Songbook is the best thing on RUclips. What is your Mustang's scale length?
Thanks sir! It’s the common 24 inch scale with the 1.65 nut.
beautiful!
Thank you!🙏🙏🙏
That's a subscription from me!

Sounds like you are serenading David Lynch...and he's smiling ear to ear.
