Man i remember when i moved to town trying to make music for a living. Slogging it out is the absolute truth. Ran out of money, food, few days away from eviction. Road gig dried up, couldn't get a damn day job anywhere. I remember loading up what i could fit in my truck and eating the last bit of food i had for the trip back home, a tomato and honey sandwich lol. For a good while after that i didn't even pick up a guitar. I still play gigs here and there and i can honestly say that between You, Uncle Larry, and GT i've never been more excited or have found so much joy in playing music. So, thank you. So much.
Hello from Downunder Jedd We’re watching brother. Great to see another talented Aussie flying the flag in the middle of music central, Nashville
Thanks Glenn! Proud to fly the Aussie flag mate! Thanks for tuning in
Music really is the great communicator, thanks for speaking to us again today Jedd!
Amen to that mate! Thanks man
Found you on Uncle Larry's kitchen episode with you guys playing together and telling stories. I loved it and your playing. Love your solo CD's can't wait for the new one!
Thanks so much Joe!
Your musicality is immense. Follow your inspiration. Love when you chase the rabbit.
Thank you mate. Really appreciate that Denis
Cool tune. Love the melody, and the rhythm. Awesome 👏
Mate, hiding in your studio while the kids go crazy - I know it well 😂
Thanks so much mate
Love the practical tonal advice.. and it didn’t involve gear.!👍🏼Thanks..👍🏼
Hands and heart is all you need mate!
Thanks for tuning in Joseph
Appreciate the tips! I'm thankful to have found you and your work! Cheers
Thanks so much Brian, appreciate it mate.
I love that you have the time to post some videos these days.
Miles was at the forefront (basically dictated what was coming next) of every major style of jazz for 50 years! Mindblowing!
Such a heavy fella. Man I just love listening to him constantly. Such an evolution as an artist.
Thanks Jedd, I'll give that a try.
For the first 5 minutes, I kept pausing this video to figure out if my kids were killing each other. LOL! I love it! You know you are a dad when you either don't notice, or just power through.. Kudos!
hahahaha sorry about that! I swear I don't have a single voice memo recording on my phone that doesn't have them trying to blow something up in the background!
Jedd, thank you so much for these videos. Please keep them coming!
cheers Jeff!
Jedd, I have my tks for the Buk show and can’t wait to hear you live again! Great to see you online again….
See ya there mate!
Oh wow! The writing and learning in real time would be killer!
cool! I thought It could be an interesting way to approach a project, cheers!
tasteful playing and a great little guitar gem to directly try out. pls keep those videos coming
Thanks mate! more to come!
Awesome! thx for explaining that.
Can't wait for the new records!
Thanks Matt, coming soon mate
Keep ‘em comin’ Jed
Great tip Jed! Thank you!
Thanks Jedd!
One of the coolest things I think Buk did on his instrumental record was to make a “play along” version as well. Just a thought. Thanks for posting…my dog started barking when he heard your kids yelling. Lol!
Hey that's a great idea! I'll do that for sure. Sorry about the background noise! haha
What an excellent touch. Thanks for making videos Jedd. Such a valuable resource for musicians.
You got that Tom Britt painting! I totally dig his paintings.
Yeah man! We have a bunch of em. I love Tom so much. Such a great player and painter!
Really interesting insight on the country picking...up-picking kind of reproduces the slap you get when you finger-pluck, but you get more snap with the pick, very cool, thanks!
Good seeing you back. I’m sure many people would love to take the journey with you and you would gain many subscribers along the way.
Thanks Michael. Really enjoying re connecting with the community
Never been that into telecasters... After first Nacho vid I've been finally wanting one...
This makes my day.
The tele is the hammer and the screwdriver of the guitar world. So unforgiving but so rewarding when you connect with its simpleness.
@@JeddHughesOfficial yeah I know, it's a bit easier to have a strat or a 335! You really have to deliver when playing the telly! Maybe I start by loaning a Squier 50s CV from my brother! :D
Super cool! Thanks so much man… Tone is in the hands and you really demonstrated that very clearly
Thats what its all about mate! Thanks for tuning in man
Love your work! Especially this one!
Thanks Patrick, glad you dig it mate
Greetings Jedd. Thanks for doing these videos man!
Thanks Chuck! More to come mate
classy as usual ....
The only two guitars i still need in this lifetime are a nacho tele and a old national.
Excited to watch you write, craft, an album with us! GREAT IDEA! Thank you.
Really enjoyed this video! Awesome channel you’ve got going!
Cheers mate!
Fantastic content, love your work Jedd !
Thanks Craig and thanks for re sharing those vids and posting stuff, really appreciate it mate!
A treasure trove of good stuff coming from yourself and the Nashville Ladz.
I’m only amateur level but working on ditching the pick and getting confidence with it.
That stutter rhythm style is next level , I need to get my ring and middle finger more dexterous.
Keep the good stuff coming Jedd !
Cheers
Craig
So glad to see your videos again. The instrumental idea sounds awesome should the time allow for it. Funny, I couldn't tell for a second or two if it was your kids I was hearing or mine. I see you on the 20th.
haha yeah sorry about that, the chaos is real around here! haha
Great stuff bro, look forward to your new releases 😎
Thanks maaaate!
I saw that Miles documentary ,too and went down the rabbit hole with you.Your opening song is magic, mate. Been seeing you with uncle Larry on the Vince Gill Tribute and the Drew Winn recordings. Glad to see your posting more often on your channel. Thanks
Hey thanks Ed! Nice to hear from ya mate. That was such an inspiring doco eh!
wow. what style. also- that tone, so recognizably nacho. almost like a piano.
That tip about the old country twang/chirp/ quack… is cool..! Thanks man..👍🏼
Beautiful tones..reminds me of Roy Buchanan's first two records. Gorgeous playing too! Love your musical sensibilities.Thank you Jedd. I look forward to the record release.
Thanks Ian. Man oh man those Roy tones are immense. That means a lot mate.
Thanks for sharing your honesty. I'm sure it isn't easy. Not easy to make a video when your kids are trying to kill each other too, lol.
hahahaha it makes me smile actually. I love it in all honesty as much as It drives me crazy
I always loved that saying that it's in the hands, how true!! Giving away my age, I started playing before pedals. I get that they do a lot, but it is in the hands. Mentioning Merle reminded me of the song Vince wrote shortly after he passed. He played it at the GOO with just an acoustic guitar and Paul on steel. I just thought it was really, really good!! Got off subject, that's an interesting start you have there! 8) --gary
Man oh man does Vince know how to write those Merle inspired songs. Did you know Merle is his all time favorite? He talks about him a lot when we are on the road. Glad you are digging the raves mate and thanks for tuning in Gary, really appreciate it mate
Thanks for the tips
Love your style! So good!
Love these videos man, thanks for sharing your talents with us. This record idea sounds killer. Looking forward to it!
Man, I am glad you are back in Nashville, and making music. I think the world is better off for it bro. - I am going to go practice now lol
Sounds like a cool breeze ! Hope that the gig with Tom will be broadcast (poor frenchmen is asking ;o)
I'll ask tom mate, that would be cool eh!
Thanks for another great vid Jedd. I had a question because I bought a boss chorus and was thinking about asking Buko how he recommends using it in a country/cosmic/folky context. I figured he may not have time to maybe do a demonstration because he usually gets asked a thousand questions on all his videos haha. Not to say your not any less busier, but I was wondering if you could do a couple demonstrations on how you utilize different sounds for different contexts ie. mainly delay and chorus stuff. I studied how you described how to dial in a great acoustic sound on Brett papas show and it’s served wonders for me… I’m working on an album right now, and I know you and Tom are the go to guys for tone and dialing in just the right amount of everything to produce hit records. I would be forever grateful for any tips and tricks for recording that magic…. Love your work Jedd and I realize how fortunate we are to be able to get any advice from you at all… as much as I dislike social media stuff it’s kinda a double edged sword considering I’m able to get advice from you and Tom. Thxs again Jedd keepem comin
-Dave
Hey Dave, Thats a great question mate. I'll dive in to that on an upcoming rave! Really appreciate you reaching out and the kind words mate. Thank you man
Jedd somehow I wasn’t hip to the Jedd in the Shed till just recently. I’ve really been enjoying going back and catching up . Excited about your new album and your thoughts about writing and releasing an instrumental. Thanks for doing it God Bless have a great weekend
Really appreciate it mate! Thanks for tuning in!
I think a Fender Rhodes piano would sound great as the other instrument for your tune. I could hear it filling in the space while you were playing. Have a great weekend Jedd
great idea mate!
Novel idea for the instrumental! Sounds like big fun.
Hi Jedd, maybe something that interests you too? To my ears the guitar has an unique place in the 'mix' of all instruments in that its both a harmonic and melodic instrument plus a drum to bang on... Where these 3 worlds collide the guitar gets really interesting imuo. I would like to see you do something with double stops and in particular how to vary their rhytmic placement (chop chop...) applied together with for instance slides. Here the whole guitarbag seems to come together.
Groeten from the Netherlands!
Ps: i remember something that might have some kind of connection with the above, something Jim Campilongo said: how long is it humanly possible to delay a tone the ear wants to hear before....?
Thats a cool idea mate! I'll kick that one around and see if I can come up with something. Love Jim. He is unreal.
Thanks! Slide/timing fun: the longer the slide (double stop is double fun) the more interesting the point of arrival somewhere in time and space. And who needs eyes to hear? Its one bloody adventure...
Tks Jedd. Just suscribed. Your talent is immense and inspires me to great tone hunting and trying to be a better musician by playing often. Your neck pickup seems to be high up. When pressing the 21th fret what is the space between E strings and pickup ?
The Brokenwood tv series has a Very 60s country soundtrack. Plus it’s in New Zealand! Just sayin
I'll check that out mate!
Do you still keep in touch with Mike from Magic amps? I really like his amps, had a bunch of them and still keep a vibro prince.
Great tones, enjoying your latest videos quite a bit.
Thanks
Yes mate, He is one of my really good friends. Such a great guy and builder and talented musician.
Very cool tune. If you haven't checked it out, the Miles Davis autobiography is pretty incredible, too.
What's your recording/software setup for the videos? Do you do any post-editing on the audio or video?
I'll dive in to that one mate! I've heard its a great read. I just use my old iPhone for these videos mate. Very homespun setup around here :)
Great stuff! I really like your playing and am interested how you think about chords. Obviously listening to recording and working out the chords and progressions is the way many uncover/discover what’s actually happening but do you have any suggestions about interesting forms that maybe you use as go-to type chords and progressions?
Great question mate. I stay away from dominant thirds always unless its really appropriate. Usually the melody and lyrical content of ta song gives me all the information I need to be supportive. I 'll do a vid about it!
Hey Jedd how do you think of the Nacho pickups compared to the Ron Ellis pickups ? I own a Nahco , to me it’s best tele I’ve ever owned.
Thanks for posting the videos, love it man. You’re awesome
They are great mate! Thanks for tuning in man
I’m going to experiment with your ideas on using the upstrokes closer to neck pickup and tip of the pick. Do you use medium or heavy picks? Thanks for your posts!
Mike
Medium mate, its a good trick to have in the bag!
Jedd..a quick question...how long does it take a penguin to change the strings on a gluten infused guild starfire?....Good man!
I've got a 2015 nacho "Janis" #1960. Such a phenomenal guitar but the pickup in mine are something to be desired unlike your tone.
What pickups are you running?
Ron Ellis?
Mine has Nacho pickups mate, Try the Ron Ellis 50B and Killa neck pickup and see how you go!
It' hard to get feedback from the little lens opening in your computer - but there are thousands of us who have watched this video in the last week. We're here, you just don't get the immediate audience response like you would during a live gig.
The progress you're making, fledgling RUclipsr that you are, is going to position you as one of the premier guitar channels as long as you keep chugging along and work to refine your voice.
I see something very different in your presentation, your perspective, as well as how you present your craft.
One word of caution...
Don't get sucked in to the RUclips grind. It's made a mess of any number of people with more than a few chasing a creation and publishing schedule that can only wear a person down.
I have a Nacho question -- why all the snark against his instruments? They seem amazing on You Tube, etc... but there is this talk that he just takes cheap tele kits and customizes them ... your opinion on the value of Nacho relic Teles??
I don't know about any of that mate. I love this one he made me. I try to support all the small batch builders. They are all sweet people with good hearts who really love music. Thats what Im in to.
How was it to work with Rodney?
He is one of my nearest and dearest. Its always a joy to make music with him mate.
How is Guthrie Govans rep among you nashville cats ? And yourself?
not familiar with him mate, I'll check him out.
Question for Jedd:
How much theory do you actually know and use? I know sometimes when you are working on a song or riff idea you do the 50/50 half concious jamming thing that you mentioned in another video, but, I was wondering how much theory you use in your normal writing. Are you thinking in terms of triads and inversions up the neck, chord tone targeting conciously or is it more that youve internalized all of that and just kind of riff things out?
do you read sheet music ever?
Thanks just trying to pick your music brain and see what your strategy is. I've been doing a ton of theory study this past year and its helped mature my playing a lot, but I still can't actively apply all of it to the fretboard. Its like someone learning how to type- I still have to hunt and peck to find the notes and more advanced chords.
Hey Mike, great question mate. I don't apply any theory at all to my writing. I have a very very limited understanding of it. I hunt for things that feel like what Im trying to emote and then I work my way backwards to learn what it is If I need to explain it. Does that make sense? Its a hillbilly approach to composition! haha
@@JeddHughesOfficial that does make sense. Its what ive always done as well (playing for 20 years) but i felt i needed more theory knowledge to get the ideas out of my skull. Running into dead ends while writing.
Its nice to see someone doing the feeling based approach so well.
In some ways i am not sure I can fully change this process, having played this way for so long.
You seem pretty good at knowing what chord your playing and what note youre on. Youve at least got all the notes memorized right?
