This is GREAT!!! Frank is HUGE talent in Jazz guitar. I saw some old footage of Frank playing in hotel room with Jimmy Rosenberg. Its unbelievably GREAT footage of Jimmy and Frank at such a young age. Frank you are TRULY one of the jazz guitar GREATS!!! Thank- you. And Bucky, well it just goes without saying how truly GREAT you are, and how much we miss you. Thanks for this.
Bucky Pizzarelli & Frank do the classic Limehouse Blues. It goes from a leisurely statement of the melody into overdrive @1:15 and ends with the frets aboutready to catch fire. Great stuff.
The 7th string is tuned to A, like every other jazz guitar player tunes it. Bucky is John Pizzarelli's father, and started the 7-string jazz thing, along with George Van Eps. He's been doing it since the 70's, and better than most anyone. He's a legend in the jazz scene.
Frankly, Frank is great......but Bucky like no other. We lost a diamond in the rough yesterday, no fooling!!! Bet he's still doing his stuff in Eternity. Bucky (RIP).
I'm talking bass guitar. On a four string, they are tuned like the bottom four strings of a guitar, so I assumed the fifth string would be a B like it is on a guitar, and he took that B string and stuck it on the bottom of his guitar.
The bass you here is Bucky himself. Part of the wider range he was able to achieve with his extra bass string - 7 string guitar. 2 virtuoso on this classic.
Holy crap that old dude on the guitar is the man! Love those cool passing chords and not trying to impress with technique like the other guy who doesnt have the respect to even name who he is
Yeah that version is great. Jerry reed and chet do a version and this version is awesome too. Isn’t a pleasure to live in a world with frank vignola, Chet, Bucky, and Jerry reed! Haha
You assume incorrectly. I've been a bass player for almost 15 years. I play 4, 5 and 6 string basses. I know what you're talking about, and you are in way over your head here. From low to high its, B, E, A, D, G. Trust me
A, E, A, D, G, B, E....trust me :) They double the A to be able to play the same chords they're used to but with a beefier bass note one octave lower on chords with the bass in the 5th string in 6 string guitars.
@@SaccoBelmonte You are correct, sir. I had the great honor to meet Bucky during his collaboration with Gearge Barnes back in the early 70s. They were playing at Upstairs at the Downstairs in New York and I was sitting not ten feet from them as they jammed. My uncle played trumpet in the Tonight Show band back then and, along with Mrs. Barnes, we were the entire audience. It was an amazing night watching that duo breaking in their act. Bucky showed me his guitar and explained how the extra low A string gave more flexibility as an accompaniest. I will never forget it.
