Joe's passion for Gretsch guitars really shows and I never seen anybody that can play the Chet Atkins style with a regular flat pick better that Greg!

@justiceforall6412 2 года назад

You should see Joe play. He's pretty good himself.

@justiceforall6412 2 года назад

For decades I avoided Gretsch, thinking it's an old man's guitar. Then I was lucky enough to acquire one and now I have four! Gretsch makes great, great, versatile guitars!

@jixxxxer17 Год назад

do you have a favorite Gretsch out of your 4 ? I'm shopping for one and hard time deciding , Peace !

@justiceforall6412 Год назад

@@jixxxxer17 You know it depends. In the studio it's fair game. But for live I think I prefer one of my Duo Jets. Just because it's semi solid and a bit smaller.

I've owned two old Country Gents; a '64 and a single-cut '60. I would love to have either of them back today. I still play a Gretsch 6120 '59 reissue, and I love it, but I miss those classy old Country Gents.

@Junker1995 9 лет назад

Best guitar ever made. Would adore to have one .. And thanks a lot for the information about it :)

What a beautiful looking and sounding guitar

@InSearchof8 4 года назад

Thanks for this! After all these years, you've exposed the mystery of how the knobs and switches work!!! I've been handicapped with this, and didn't even know?

@isejohn 6 месяцев назад

I found one of these at auction, with the case, everything inside.. I came here to see what all those switches were about… thank you… now I know, it was just the kill switch.. great video!

@Thekarlskorner Год назад

The banter between these two gentlemen is fun to watch. The Country Gentleman is a totally marvelous guitar. I was able to upgrade to one after seeing my Electromatic 5122. That was a great guitar, but the Country Gentleman is so much more. I wish I could play it as good as done hear, but it has improved my playing. I like it to playing a guitar with an automatic transmission! It's that good.

@GuitarQuackery 2 года назад

Love his playing.

@bobaldo2339 Год назад

I had a bif orange version of this guitar back in the mid 60's. It had only one mute, however. I bought it used for 300 bucks, and sold it a couple years later for 300 bucks. It had a great neck, but the tones were somewhat limited as I recall. Anyway, that is what I thought, and why I eventually sold it.

I haven't had a case of gear lust this bad since....well I just haven't.

@Baci302 3 года назад

I have to have this guitar if for no other reason than to get that "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" sound.

@yarygork2334 4 года назад

Gregs a mutant freak o' nature! My middle fingie is 3.25" long or I would play like this! ok maybe not but I am structurally compromise since birth. Gregs finger are longer than Jimis? Robben Ford too has super long fingers. My only hope is guys like Danny Gatton with short fingers that overcome our limitations. I think Gregs ring finger is longer than his middle one?

@skellyngton 3 года назад

Another cool fact about the guitar. Only electric Elvis owned and played on stage

@tabormorin4526 5 лет назад

Elvis did play the G6122 Country Gent, but he also played an assortment of other guitars including a Hagstrom V-2, a Gretsch White Falcon, some other Gibson hollowbody, and even a Fender P Bass.

@TheHeater90 4 года назад

Actually he did play a Country Gentleman. You can see it in the 1970 rehearsal footage where he plays Little Sister and Get Back.

What is the best strings , in general?

@aletotheking 5 лет назад

The one you feel most comfortable. Depends on the guitar scale length and what you like to play (bend or not, jazz -> Flatwounds, etc.)

@charliebrown1949 4 года назад

Why, when they reissued this, to such an excellent, and accurate extent, did they put the (wrong) "G" in the headstock inlay???? I have a 1966 Country Gent, and have owned, or seen (friends) other Gretsch guitars, from that same time period, and they ALL had the flat top/squared off "G" in the Gretsch Logo! So, WHY the rounded version, that is historically incorrect?! :(

@fidelr.6536 10 лет назад

zero fret? :c

@everonlyallforthee 7 лет назад

What exactly is it about the zero fret that affects the string height and such? I know there's a reason for it, but I don't know the technical aspects.

@NekoMilkshake 7 лет назад

as far as i have researched, a Zero fret will have less intonation problems and better action than a conventional nut! Nice!

@standandfight5573 3 года назад

The sound hole decals are just stupid. Who would've cared about that? If they were'n't on there it would be fine. IDK why they felt like they needed to fake it.

@alexparsa8330 3 года назад

Wtf is up with the music at the start, so weird

@aaronw.markel9319 Год назад

3:00 you really need to eliminate that horribly sounding riff for demo purposes. Play something that sells the guitar, not make you cringe man. It’s not even pleasant to listen too
