Wrong. I have JBs in a few of my 80’s Kramers with different letters after the JB. Maricela wound ones are the gold standard! She is now a “ big cheese” in the SD empire!
I have Three of these babies. All original, except that on my flip flop red one, the workhorse, I shaved the neck into a “V” shape. Bare wood necks rock the big one! The other two are collectors items, and remain encased! I just love Kramers! Berardi and Vaccaro never knew what they started!! It is an addiction for sure, but it will not kill you! Nice to know! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, yes you could use the A shape chord for the 4 and the 5. It would depend on whether you are playing a full barre or rhythm licks. If you are playing chords, as long as the notes you are holding down are in the chord you can play them. If you are playing fills then as they are within the key you are in then you can use the strings :) Does that answer your question ok?
The RU-vid algorithm served this video up and got it right for once. A truly great video with nice clear examples. I have a Matamp R28 with a master volume, but is monumentally loud with the master volume above 2, especially if the gain is up. It sounds glorious but would be nice to have a bit more fine control with the volume. A volume pedal sounds like a great idea and is way cheaper than an attenuator. Would there be any issue with using option 2, except place the volume pedal in the effects loop before the modulation type pedals? I’m guessing this would leave the preamp gain staging unaffected but allow the other benefits of option 2 intact? Thanks again 😀
Hi, I’m glad that you liked the video. That is a great question! To be honest have not tried a volume pedal in an effects loop of an amp apart from when I run a big rack set up years ago. I did a tour where I had a massive rig and tried this option out. It wasn’t as successful as I’d hoped but it could have been the way I had rigged it all. I have always used an attenuator to get the ‘cranked’ sound out of my amps. However, everything is worth a try as you just never know. Also, different amps and volume pedals react differently so you may get exactly what you are looking for out of this options. Deffo worth a go :)
@@FretlixGuitar thanks for the reply. I love the idea of an attenuator, but my bank manger is less keen 😉. I think I’ll give the volume pedal a try and see what happens 🤞
@@FretlixGuitar I’m also considering a Boss LS-2 in the effects loop. It has 2 loops and a bypass, with both loops having a volume control, so I could have it set up with 2 levels of attenuation plus full bore on the bypass. Need to do some research to make sure they play nicely in the effects loop 🤷♂️. Decisions, decisions 🤔😀
Thanks for the lesson. I like playing with finger picking on acoustic guitar on songs: House of Rising Sun, Green Field, The End of The World. Cheers from Indonesia.
Still have a cream colour Baretta I bought new in 86 . I Use it in some recordings when needed . The stock seymour pick-ups are super chunky with some wicked gain for heavier riffs . I would never sell it but I see the prices rising substantially for these originals . Nice to see a vid on these nice work .
Amazing! They are such great and iconic guitars. I am going to keep mine forever :) Yes, the prices have gone up substantially in the last few years. I wish I had bought more a few years back! lol!
The JBJs are not a different pickup than the JB. They are merely JBs that were wound by Maricela Juarez. Maricela wound the majority of the JBs in the 80s, so the majority of 80s JBs are JBJs. They are not a different model, they were the standard JB of that era.
Very nice lesson. I already subscribed the channel. Just one request : the intro solo is really nice. What about one video showing how to play it? Keep the amazing work.
Thanks! This lesson is in the pipeline :) I’ve been asked by quite a lot of people to do a vid on this which is really nice. I’ll cover the chords/riff and the solo bits. Keep an eye on the channel as I plan on making the video in the next month :)
This was awesome! I had my volume at the end of my chain of new Boss pedals. It sounded horrible. I watched this video and went with your suggestion. It now sounds amazing! Thanks! 😃👍
Thank you :) The intro song is something I wrote, kinda like a intro song to the channel. A few people have asked me to make a lesson on it so I may do that at some point :)
Thanks for your replay man! New subscriber here. The intro song is great and the last cascade notes are killer! Plus I really enjoy your videos! Bless you man! 🤟
Thanks! I've glad you liked the video :) I uploaded the rest of the song last weekend. Here's the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f1dey3Vlyac.html - Enjoy :)
Hi @fretlix. absolutely love the lesson and signed up But the download lesson TAB where you show the difference between the capo from 5th to 4th fret seems to be the same apart from the first bar. Anyway, thank you again so much for this, my band just added this song and it will be a fantastic help!
Hi, I'm glad you liked the lesson and thanks for subscribing. Well spotted and thank you for letting me know about the TAB. I've updated the workbook now so it's correct. I'll be uploading the rest of the song this weekend. I'll show you all the chords needed and all of the original Guitar parts with a Capo so hopefully that will be useful when you play it with your band :)
@FretlixGuitar I hope you know, that this was by no means to be a dig-message. I understood when following your video what you meant and just wanted to highlight it. Anyway, you are doing a fantastic job with all your work. Hope you are well. I camt wait for more content and will check out some of Your other videos and wisdom! All the best! Dan
Hi, I didn’t think that at all and I appreciate you letting me know :) Thanks for your nice words about the video. It’s a lot of work making the videos so it’s nice to hear that they are appreciated and helpful :)
3rd chords lowest note could be the "open" capo'd d string instead of 10th fret a string. Slightly different string sound but same note and may be easier shape for some to play
I don't know how many times I watched this series...so glad of an additional tutorial...pls keep them coming. May I ask how you are getting that incredible tone..is it amp sim, real amp and pedals? Can you advise your setup please?
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the Hendrix lessons :) So for the tone in this video most of it is the guitar tbh. I had the pickups custom built for me in Italy when I was on tour over there. The guys had sourced all vintage components and hand built these amazing pickups for me. For the Amp I’m using a Kemper Profiler with a Michael Britt profile of a /13 Amp, no speaker just straight into my interface(Apogee Quartet). I added some Waves plugins, CLA comp and a Puigtech eq, with a sprinkle of spring reverb. Hope that makes sense?
Of course, they are called ZD Explosion pickups from Italy. However, I’ve just had a look for them and I’m not sure they are still in business. I was lucky enough to be one of their first customers as they were friends with my guitar tech. If they are still going they are really top guys. They came down to my gig and basically overhauled all of the wiring etc in that strat adding their pickups for me. In the video I used the out of phase sound neck/middle position so even if you don’t manage to get the same pickups hopefully you can get a similar sound :)
@@FretlixGuitar thanks a bunch and yes it seems no longer existing as google is not returning anythin. Great idea on the out of phase. Thanks to answer and always your subscriber as this content is really helpful for such a genre.
