He also added so much to the San Francisco sound, East-West at the Fillmore opened a lot of ears. I've seen pics of him with both Jerry García and John Cippolina. RIP Nick Gravenites this week. Born in Chicago indeed!
If you are lucky enough to get a good one but they are expensive and you can get better value and often quality and pay a lot less than the asking price for a Gibson 335.
Oh man, I was playing a new 335 at GC recently. It played great and had an unusually exceptional midrange emphasis in its tone. Couldn't pull off a deal at the time for $4K, but I was really surprised by that tone. Of course it went quickly. My Epiphone semi hollow bodies are very nice though.
I had a 335 for about a year. I thought I knew why I was buying it. I eventually sold it but your first ten seconds just explained why I should try again.
Hi Jack thank you for explaing us your technics, your touch is perfect and the dinámic of your fingers is excelent !!! I would like to know what pick ups are using in your Tele, is wonderful that sound. Thank you again , Regards!!
What a delightful trip around the fretboard. The fusion of arpeggios and blues with jazz voicings is absolutely beautiful. I've learned so much just listening to the lesson. Thank you for showing me a few new ways to open up the harmonics and melodic playing I love do much.
I always wanted a 335 but never got the chance to find one i could afford so on one of my birthdays my wife gave me a 2016 Gibson Midtown Deluxe which is very close to a 335 & probably the closest i will get to actually having one. It's a fine guitar done in a Root Beer Finish & a set of Burst buckers for pickups. For whatever reason Gibson chose to discontinue it & stick with the Midtown Custom i don't know less it was the price which she did not pay as it's a used guitar, but it sings like a real 335 & the quality is top notch where the Custom is the basic stripped-down model. Kudos to my bandmate for helping her not get ripped off by going with her to the music store. It may not be a real 335 but it's a close as i will most likely get to owning one & it sounds great. Anyone want to hear it i have an Audio post & a nice shot of it i will leave a link & any comment is more than welcomed. Both are great instruments. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lJelsuT1UxI.html
Jack, can we get those tones ourselves without the benefit of that expensive brown and white box that rests atop your amp (I forget the name of it)? Not being glib here, I really would like to know. Thank you, I enjoy your vids very much icy.
Tones with a view: so much texture on tap in each note; and that versatility. Also why I just got back to play more semi-acoustic for live gigs. I haven't yet had the chance to check out the subtle differences, e.g. ES-335 vs. Epiphone Sheraton, but the latter already made me very happy back when (my first 'legit' 'jazz' guitar). Do you have an opinion (aka experience / application) using a split, or actual single coil on these? E.g. for added detail and clarity, in comparison. I found that this mode works well with my D'Aquisto, mainly for fingerstyle playing, wonder if swapping out the split-coiled humbucker with a dedicated single would still add some
I use my 335 to play everything from blues to metal to classic rock. I have other guitars including a Jackson V but to me the 335 beats every guitar for everything.
Or perhaps a Guild Starfire, or one of Ibanez's fine semi-hollows. On and on. There's a lot of great options in the segment, and certainly cheaper than Gibson. I had Sheraton II that was just fine.
When I think 335 I think Clapton. I love mine and use it cranked with an AC30 and just can not imagine not playing it through a cranked amp. Clapton's tone on Crossroads and his tone on From The Cradle with his 335 are the absolute pinnacle of guitar tone to my ears.
No doubt those are two great guitars. But ultimately I went for a Heritage 535. There was just something that was so balanced and responsive that I fell for it with no looking back.
Jack, just the inspiration i needed today… those tones are so good, and the licks sooo tasty I could listen to you play 335s all day long ! Im here for the playing and the teaching, but i’d really love to see the rest of the signal chain sometime for those tones, the subtle delay, the drives, amp, reverb types you prefer etc.
Hey Jack, nice stuff, I have Gibson 335 and Sheraton Pro II.....can't live without them.....I have always liked you JW Mocking bird.....Whatever happened to that gem?....Cheers
