AS238 - The blue Guitar Collection - Cherry guest Jonathan Stout - Monteleone VS Collings

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Hey guys, i just got back from my US gigs with some cool surprises for you. I went to play at the Django in June festival on the east coast with my 4tet (Romain Vuillemin Quartet) and with Génération Django; i was happy to see that Jonathan (the other biggest acoustic archtop nerd on this side of the hemisphere) was also performing there. A good vintage archtop session was in sight.
But a few weeks before i went, the guys from the Archtop Fundation contacted me : they bought Scott Chinery's famous Blue Archtop collection and they want to guitars to do what they do best : PLAY ! They offer to bring me part of the collection at my gig ! It started when Scott Chinery custom ordered a guitar to the great Jimmy D'Aquisto : it needed to be a specific blue color, and be 18 inches full acoustic archtop. After his death, Scott commissioned about 20 of the best luthiers out there at the time (1996) to build their version of the Blue Guitar (Comins, Collings, Monteleone, Benedetto, Buscarino just to name a few). Please visit their website at TheBlueGuitars.com or on Instagram @theblueguitars
A quick word on my guest : I discovered Jonathan Stout via RUclips while searching for vintage acoustic archtops in action ! He owned a few a did some comparison which i liked. One of his main influences is Allaun Reuss who played acoustic archtops in a very specific chord melody style he came up with. Jonathan has been geeking out this A LOT ! I'm happy to invite him in this video (and a few others to come) to share our mutual love for vintage swing and cool guitars. You can follow Jonathan on instagram @campusfive
I'm happy to introduce these 2 insane guitars on the channel :
Jonathan is playing a Monteleone Rocket Convertible guitar, with a Blue Chip TD 40 pick (approx 1mm)
I'm playing a Collings Custom, with a gator Dunlop 0.71mm pick.
Both guitars are strung with Elixir NanoWeb 12-53, and the sound is captured by 2 dpa 4099g, a bluebird and a Neumann TLM 103 microphone.
I Hope you'll have as much fun listening that we've had recording. Please share and subscribe for more.

Whoa, this is going to be fun!
Did you enjoy?
@@AcousticStandards that was loads of fun!
Yesss!!! Two of my favourites!!

Beyond words. Swing guitar in its many expressions and at its best. Jon's statement of the theme is a chord melody gem worth studying in-depth but the whole thing is just up there. Merci Romain!!
Hey thanks Tito, i m glad you liked it ! Some more to come
Too marvelous for words.
Ah i see you enjoyed
Bravo!
Thanks !!
Two of my favourite performers/workshop leaders from Django in June.
Hey thanks Brian ! What class did you take with me i can t remember
@@AcousticStandards We met in the hall after the opening meeting. I told you about my De Cava copy of a pre-war L5 (still lovin' it). Thanks for all the great music and videos.
@@brianosullivan5441 hey cool
Great playing guys
hey thanks
THAT'S what these guitars were made for : chomping out barking chords and poignant single lines ! In the hands of these players it's a real treat, thanks !
Hey thanks Christian!!!
Should have 2M Subs!!!!!
Ahaha hard to do today on vintage jazz ;)
@@AcousticStandards I know...Sadly all the real talent goes unnoticed...I love your channel, and your playing, it inspires me to keep playing!!!
thanks !!!! @@thestratman7903
I mean it! I'm a jazz guitarist, and I know how tasteful what you and friends are playing. I wish I could find another guitarist in my area interested in a stripped down duo like you do....What you guys pull off with just 2 archtops is truly amazing and inspires me!!@@AcousticStandards
thanks a lot ! what's your area? maybe some watcher may see the message@@thestratman7903
THANK YOU for doing this and releasing it on RUclips! It made my day to see my two favorite acoustic archtop players together. Totally awesome.
Did you do any other duos with Jonathan?
Hey thanks ! Yes i ll post at least 3-4 other ones with Jonathan through the year
Legendary guitarists
Отлично!!!
Thanks
wonderful, thank you.
hey thanks !!
The Monteleone appears to have an on-board microphone to boost sound. The Collings has plenty of volume.
Oh my, Two heroes! Thank you Romain! What a sweet sound you both have made!
Ahahah thanks Yiki !!
Great work, guys! These two guitars boom like cannons - what a fantastic video. Very entertaining to watch you both having so much fun!
Hey thanks Fred, i'm glad you dig this session ! i have some more footages so i'll post a few other vids from my US trip
Thanks, Romain. That would be great!@@AcousticStandards
I'm looking forward to it, Romain!@@AcousticStandards
Круто!!!
Hey thanks
Excellent ❤
thanks !!
Very nice! I love to hear Jonathan geek out about music (like he did on a Denis Chang vid). BTW what is this cool tune? Thanks!
Hey thanks ! That tune is called Cherry ;)
Romain: what is the portable mic setup you used here. Any you recommend for us to acquire for future concerts? Merci.
hey it was just a Scarlett 8i8 audio interface, and the microphones were a Neumann TLM 103 and a Bluebird, plus the extra 2 dpa 4099 on the guitars ;)
Dein hemde steht dia guta❤
Ohhhhh schuga Gitarre du moch schuga muiiiiiii
what tune is this ?
Cherry
You two rock. But these guitars sound thin and incredibly bad. Your pawnshop Silvertone has more mojo.
hey thanks ! i didn't find they sounded thin in live, they were very nicely balanced, but could maybe have a tiny little less sound than the tanks of the 30s, which is obvious. Great guitars, cool feel, nice playability
