NoshowJones Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 He is really talented. Does he play in Bangkok? yes..... He certainly plays and sounds excellent, but why, when I go to any function in Thailand, most singers can't even sing in key, but again, I have heard a few live bands in Pattaya and they are very good. I have even played with some of them, but solo singers, oh my. Sorry about being a little off topic, maybe I should only be talking about guitarists. Most guitarists I have heard in Thailand have been reasonably good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardjm65 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 No flash, no big showmanship - the guy just sits and plays his stuff. Remarkable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCrab Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 He is playing along with one of his pre-recorded JamTracks which he will happily sell to you for £19.99 so you can play along as well -- and maybe even with a little more flash. Nice stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chonabot Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) This guy is an accomplished guitarist but he is basically recreating licks note for note. The original players are the 'sensational' talents here. I'm sure you are all aware of Eric Johnson/Satriani/Petrucci etc Any guitarist with about 5+ years of proper tuition and experience could play these licks. And Thais are amongst the world's best when it comes to copying. I'm not knocking the guy because he clearly has talent. His original piece is pretty good however and I would go and see this chap if he played nearby Edited August 16, 2013 by chonabot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongly disagree with that statement On what foundation do you base that opinion? I've played and taught the guitar for 25 years plus and have seen many guitarists play this type of genre equally as well. Just look on youtube for some similar displays, many of them from really young players. As I said before, I don't want to rain on Jack's parade and agree he is a very capable guitarist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look on youtube for some similar displays, many of them from really young players. As I said before, I don't want to rain on Jack's parade and agree he is a very capable guitarist Just based on my life & experiences. I built Electric guitars & tube amps for many years. My wife was a high level exec for one of the biggest Fender & Gibson distributors in the USA Due to that every year we had VIP passes to NAAM in Anaheim I have met the folks that Jack is covering in person & heard them play. I have heard literally hundreds of slingers with much more than 5 years experience. To say "Any guitarist with about 5+ years of proper tuition and experience could play these licks." Is just not the reality. Yes there are prodigy's like the folks Jack is covering but really the majority of players will never reach that level. Physically it is not even possible for some to play such wide intervals in time & at those speeds. Perhaps you can? Perhaps not but I just do not agree Any guitarist with 5 years playing can all play this way. If it were true there would be far more to choose from for each months guitarist magazine cover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chonabot Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Well, you have a far better pedigree than I and I respect your opinion Proper tuition is something that is perhaps not widely available considering the amount of people wanting to learn nowadays. Many guitarists have been mimicked and if these types of displays turn other people onto the original music, then I'm all for that! However I am far more impressed by guitarists coming up with an original style, no matter how haphazard the approach happens to be. Hats off to Jack though, he seems to have caught the public's imagination so far. Edited August 16, 2013 by chonabot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCrab Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well as long as we're discussing guitar solos this is my favorite and that of many magazines as well: Robben Ford with The Yellow Jackets at 1981 Montreux Jazz Festival -- kicks in around 1:35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I am far more impressed by guitarists coming up with an original style, no matter how haphazard the approach happens to be. Hats off to Jack though, he seems to have caught the public's imagination so far. Of course it is hoped a guitarist will find their own voice signature sound etc. It always comes back to that. Folks like BB King may just play the minor/major pentatonic but when he stings a note there is no need to ask who it is as you know it is him. It is "his" voice on the guitar Some folks like Scott Henderson to hear him speak or when he gave classes at GIT he always said basically the same as you & that was to say "something". Say something the audience can latch onto. Dont speak too fast too impress as the audience cannot follow it. Take a little diddle & work it to pieces He did not like guys that could just play fast or technically clean he thought it was boring. He wanted to hear something from the person & I agree & know this is what your saying too. But it usually starts for most with mimicking their idols. Not everyone can do that not in 5 or even 50 years. It is just not possible for everyone no matter how hard they try. Musicality is an art form & like painting not everyone can become a Picasso even if they practice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLCrab Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Just as point of reference, Robben Ford was 29 when the above Montreux Jazz Festival piece Post #17 was recorded; was 25 when he briefly played with Miles Davis also recorded at Montreux; and was 22 or so when he joined Tom Scott & The LA Express. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robben Ford Now there is a guy with a very distinctive sound & guitar voice/style Of course his Dumble amps have much to do with that but I have heard him play thru Fender amps too & sound the same. Excellent player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCrab Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Pat Metheny was 25 when he recorded American Garage (CrossThe) Heartland Track 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFe6IxV0CjA This is so good I'll do one more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ezaLfqPiIE Edited August 17, 2013 by JLCrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chonabot Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Jimmy Page was 24 when he recorded Led Zep1 and had already played on most of the UK recorded singles from the age of 16-24. My personal favourite is Jeff Beck, this Jack has certainly got some nice exposure from the thread. SInce the birth of the internet there have been many prodigies touted as the next big thing, few of them live up to the hype. To become an established guitar great you need one of the following: A very distinctive style - SRV/ Hendrix/ Ford/ Beck/ Van Halen/ Rhoads / Johnson / Ford / Metheny / KIng To be able to write some memorable songs and sell loads of units - Page ( over 300 million and rising) / Clapton - stil selling / Angus Young - zillions/ Gilmour Personal taste is a big issue but the names above are undoubtedly huge influences even today.

JSixpack Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well, since we've gotten into this, I haven't heard any name here (great names!) so far I'd put above that of Roy Buchanan, "the greatest unknown guitarist." If you love guitar but don't know him, you must. Wait for the solo at about 3:30: THE definitive "Sweet Dreams:" (who needs a slide?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swX9oq6TVAU I'd also mention Albert Lee and Gary Moore among the greats. Heard Slash playing recently and upped my appreciation of him. Carlos Santanta, now, is also a lot better than most people realize from just listening to his popular Latino stuff that we're all sick of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKo0FK6-O-E. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
