Hey man ! A great jam , absolutely love the guitar 🎸👍. wanted to ask do you still use the GT001 . the patches you made for it are awesome been digging them recently .
@@ashleighjeffery3048 THanks mate, I do still have it and in fact recently I was thinking I may put it back in my set up so you never know it may show up again soon.. All the best
And what makes Alex stand apart is no matter how technical or shreddy, he never loses sight of the need for melodic development and serving the tune! Way to go Alex!
@@AlexHutchingsMusic I agree Melody is the most important, It catches all ears and brings them along and moves people.... everything else matters also but melody is top tier
Musicians! This guitarist actually sounds musical unlike a lot of “Shredders” . I usually don’t hear melody unless I am hearing Malmsteem or Vai but in this case this musician sounds rather good 👍🎸Enjoy!!
Too many shredders sound like they're stringing together a whole bunch of really fast-played rudiments and exercises, alternating with some tricks or gimmicks. Music first! Alex is among the best of the bunch.
Coming from you, friend, that is a huge compliment indeed... by the way, we all agree with you 100% about Alex, he is beyond amazing... kinda like you Jack. :-) Play well!!
Thank you very much for this wonderful musical experience. I am in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, and here we are all at home, isolated. Thankfully, there is the internet to provide us with this beauty of guitar sound. Thank you!
Frank really is a mastermind, but he knows it and is quick to make it noted unfortunately. I love the humility you show Alex and that is why I prefer learning from you than most. Your always willing to admit that we all can continue climbing and learning and we only fail when we think too much of ourselves. Cheers!
Hello mate, thanks so much for your comment much appreciated. I love Frank dearly and he has been such an inspiration over the years and I wouldn't be the player I am without him, I actually think of him as a humble person who has been very generous showing us mortals how to sweep 😂🤘 All the very best to you mate and thank you for watching. ;-)
I'm not a Frank expert, but I've seen a bunch of live videos and got his modes DVD back in the day, like I was ever going to master that... anyway, point being I don't recall a moment where he seemed to be arrogant or self-praising.
1. First time I hear someone play ghost notes on hammers(?) (0:56) and palm muted slides (1:57) not accidentally and in musical context. 2. Alex, if you still have this guitar, I think playing it more on the channel will make you stand out even more. It's a gorgeous guitar that does catch an eye and it fits you well.
Thank you man, I'm glad you enjoyed that... I just did another video on this guitar last week. The Michael Brecker lick.... Maybe I'll get it out more often...All the best 👍🎸🙏
I heard some Gambale and Greg Howe in there. But the economy picking is really amazing. and the jump sweeping where you literally jump back down to high strings and sweep up over and over is pretty effective. like a pianist or keyboard player is able to do easily.
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Yeah, man, I am a "good" guitarist. you know, 70s/80s rocker/wish-i-could-shred guy. People say I'm great but I know I'm just above average but I really admire and appreciate guys like you and all those people who clearly have gone way above and beyond what was considered great back in the 70s and even early 80s. That whole GIT explosion in the late 80s just was crazy. Everyone had an instructional vid. haha Anyway, great to see you reply and best wishes to you!!!!
Wonderful as always Alex, totally inspiring and fresh, makes me want to practice more every time I hear you. Shades of Richie Kotzen's fusion era too, awesome.
i love that short burst of fast alternate/economy picking notes in between. very precise and in time. i think those are underrated skills. fast slow fast slow, beautiful.
I N S A N E You never run out of ideas, and everything is so clean and seamless. My dad admired you as a musician very much, he introduced me to your playing years ago.
Lets be straight and frank. Long time ago i discovered jazz fusion by listening to Tony Macalpine and Greg Howe and i was not much into this genre but one day i saw Alex hutching's song called feeling fine with red fender and then i was like wtf this dude is king of the game and then i started to follow and check all the songs further i was blown away how Alex can play so clean, effortless, flashy and melodic at same time. I watched one video with Greg Howe jamming together and you played alot more better jazz fusion than Greg. I know Greg is backbone of Jazz fusion but you and guthrie are just monsters that i havent seen any others and since then to now i am huge Alex Hutchings fan and i loved jazz fusion just from Alex. A big love and salute to you sir from Nepal😃
Watching you play so Eloquently and Skillfully and Dynamically brings to my mind only 2 words ; FRIKN WOW !!!! You are truly an Amazing Guitarist !! 🎸😎🎸
Alex I've been playing guitar for the best part of 40 years and still not up to this standard. Sounds amazing. I had an accident where I chopped through my picking hand thumb a year ago and lost the feeling in the tip of it so don't have as much control over the pick as I used to but still love to play and am getting back to where I used to be slowly. You're a real inspiration.
THank you very much sir, I'm sorry to hear of your accident but I'm pleased you are inspired to play more and get through it... Let's keep encouraging each other... All the very best with it.
@@AlexHutchingsMusic I'm working through your JTC Improv courses as well as using Tom Quayle's excellent Solo app to help me. I'm in complete awe of the guys who developed their skills from the radio and records / tapes of their heroes before the Internet came along.
Amazing play!!! But this guitar is very rare... It's Salmon Pink “Frank Gambale Model” Ibanez FGM100 from 1991-1993. (Ibanez merged a factory from Fujigen factory in Japan.) This one is 1991 model. It is still so beautiful and sounds great over 30 years.
You are so insanely musical with this being practice. Absolute pleasure to watch and totally inspiring. Flawless technique. I'm going to go practice right now!
This is so astonishing! Not only completely assimilating Gambale's style (which is very rare and the best I've ever heard) but developing Gambale-style sweep-picking ideas of your own is even more amazing. Great thanks and hats of to you sir! (
Thank you so much man, much appreciated. You may enjoy the track I dedicated to him... did you see it? Here it is if you fancy checking it out.... Lots of sweeping stuff.... ruclips.net/video/Ks0ekWJr-d0/видео.html Plus I did a video explain how he influenced my playing...

Aw mate you're too kind, it's more about the flow really, I haven't really played this way for ages now, like at least 2 years or so, during the tour 2018-19 I don't think I so much a swept or played in style once.. so it's more about me wanting to incorporate it a little more smoothly etc... But I'm gonna work at it this year for sure. Hope you're well mate. All the best

Mr.H. Shockingly brilliant as always. There is always so much to learn and enjoy from your playing. Its always a pleasure to watch and listen. Cheers man! Just Brilliant!!!
very underrated s for ibanez, this is a great shedding tool ... and wah Alex you just nailed it , super melodic with some aggressive passages .... great pleasure for eye and ear .... rock on .lml 2:31 was a killer !
Good morning Alex!😃I see you are playing the orange Ibanez shredder with some super great improvisational phrasing! It is totally beautiful and you are The King of Sweep and Raking improvisational phrasing! Always and forever will be in complete control as a Master over his instrument! Bravo Sir! Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I now finally know what powers crossfire-hurricanes! You my friend! Stay safe, stay focused, and God Bless you ! Dana
Well said, I LOL'ed because I never thought if it like that but you're right, Gambale uses the pinky as an anchor or fulcrum too. Troy Grady video of Gambale entitled "Frank Gambale's Cascading Sweep Harmonics" shows the master in closeup, Alex is absolutely the most worthy successor to Frank's astounding playing in my humble opinion, their phrasings and note selections and playing technique are truly godlike.
And this now also explains why it was such a problem when he broke that pinky on his picking hand, I never realized how important that "forgotten little finger" is to this style of sweep picking.
@@asb3pe Hey mate, very well noticed, yes it was a problem for at least 3 months where I could rest it at all.... I like your attention to detail I'm sure many ppl wouldn't have noticed. All the best 👍😎
THank you ilya, Yeah I love the old Ibanez days all my favourite players used them back in the day.... It was so inspiring growing up. Thanks for watching,
Alex, I'd not noticed before how you seem to 'mount' or 'hold' your picking hand in position with your pinky! Your picking hand, especially when you're sweeping arps reminds me of Gambale. I find it amazing just how much diversity of style, approach, sound and delivery are possible with guitar.

Mr.H. Shockingly brilliant as always. There is always so much to learn and enjoy from your playing. Its always a pleasure to watch and listen. Cheers man! Just Brilliant!!!
THank you brother, always appreciate the good vibes.
You have such a clean picking style. It's like every note you play in a shred lick comes out and slaps me in the face.
Cheers mate... P.S sorry about the slaps.. 😂 👍🎸🙏
very underrated s for ibanez, this is a great shedding tool ... and wah Alex you just nailed it , super melodic with some aggressive passages .... great pleasure for eye and ear .... rock on .lml 2:31 was a killer !
Thank you so much Neaz... Yeah I love this guitar one of the most fun to shred on.... Thanks for watching and all the best 👍
So fun watching your economy picking! Wonderful phrasing and articulation
THank you Peter... I glad you can appreciate it.All the best 👍😎🎸
Alex is the only RUclips guitarist that makes shredding, picking etc. look so damn hard!
love that noise that complements the phrase at 0:56 lol
Hahah yeah cool, a little hand rub I guess. Thx for watching. All the best 👍😎🎸
I'm a big fan of Gambale. Thanks for sharing!
favourite guitar playing !!!!
Thank you Gary... All the best 👍🎸
Good morning Alex!😃I see you are playing the orange Ibanez shredder with some super great improvisational phrasing! It is totally beautiful and you are The King of Sweep and Raking improvisational phrasing! Always and forever will be in complete control as a Master over his instrument! Bravo Sir! Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I now finally know what powers crossfire-hurricanes! You my friend! Stay safe, stay focused, and God Bless you ! Dana
Hahahah thank you Dana, really pleased you enjoyed this one. All the best
Featuring Gambale's pinky of pure power
Absolutely, the master, 👍🎸
Well said, I LOL'ed because I never thought if it like that but you're right, Gambale uses the pinky as an anchor or fulcrum too. Troy Grady video of Gambale entitled "Frank Gambale's Cascading Sweep Harmonics" shows the master in closeup, Alex is absolutely the most worthy successor to Frank's astounding playing in my humble opinion, their phrasings and note selections and playing technique are truly godlike.
And this now also explains why it was such a problem when he broke that pinky on his picking hand, I never realized how important that "forgotten little finger" is to this style of sweep picking.
@@asb3pe Hey mate, very well noticed, yes it was a problem for at least 3 months where I could rest it at all.... I like your attention to detail I'm sure many ppl wouldn't have noticed. All the best 👍😎
Seeing you with an ibanez is so unusual and refreshing, amazing as always
THank you ilya, Yeah I love the old Ibanez days all my favourite players used them back in the day.... It was so inspiring growing up. Thanks for watching,
Alex, I'd not noticed before how you seem to 'mount' or 'hold' your picking hand in position with your pinky! Your picking hand, especially when you're sweeping arps reminds me of Gambale. I find it amazing just how much diversity of style, approach, sound and delivery are possible with guitar.
Alex, Love this!
Thank you mate, trying to get back into this kinda stuff it's been a while... Hope all's well with you mate. 👍😎🎸
