7 string Guitar: Pete Smyser | www.smyser.com
Sax: Larry McKenna
Song - an instrumental, duo rendition of the 1930 standard "I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)" with lyrics by Al J. Neiburg and music composed by Doc Dougherty and Ellis Reynolds.
Pete is an endorser for American Archtop guitars (Nazareth, PA)
Larry & I were scheduled to perform one evening back in 2016 and were planning to drive together to the venue. As a last minute whim, I suggested to Larry that if he could come over a bit early, we could record some tracks. He agreed that it was a good idea. We recorded a single take of about 8 songs. This is one of them.
Larry & I have recorded a number of times through the years. The first time was in the summer of 2000 on a CD titled Pete Smyser & Larry McKenna. A CD-R is available through Amazon: www.amazon.com/Pete-Smyser-La...

McKenna absolutely examines the chords to their foundations. Leaves no tone unturned. Mæstro. The guitarist is a soloists dream. Provides foundation rhythm, super chordal journey through the tune and doesn't get in the way. and a 7 string guitar.... Two well matched guys

Larry McKenna абсолютное добро. Не "орать", а именно играть, что может быть лучше? Интеллигентнейший музыкант. Larry McKenna is absolute "good". Don't yell, what could be better? The most intelligent musician.

@user-oj6mw9gv8d 4 года назад

Согласен. Но если проследить по записям с ним,то он в свои почтенные года может играть и весьма энергично,не всем молодым (а тут попались два ролика,где он играет с другими тенористами) под силу играть так.

I'm confessin' that I love you, Tell me, do you love me too? I'm confessin' that I need you, Honestly I do, need you every moment. In your eyes I read such strange things, But your lips deny they're true, Will your answer really change things Making me blue? I'm afraid some day you'll leave me, Saying "can't we still be friends" If you go, you know you'll grieve me, All in life on you depends. Am I guessin' that you love me, Dreaming dreams of you in vain, I'm confessin' that I love you, over again.

@6strings5904 Год назад

I love the sax sound! Great master! What type of mouthpiece has he?

@PeteSmyser Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Sorry but I'm the guitarist, so I don't know what mouthpiece Larry was using.

@6strings5904 Год назад

@@PeteSmyser You guys are great! I thinking myself to do something similar. I’m a guitarist too ,but I playing on sax as a second instrument. Unfortunately that style not so popular this time. I love it.By the way you are great on the guitar. Nice model arch top. I have an Eastman Uptown, I bought years back in Sherman Oaks Vintage guitar.

@PeteSmyser Год назад

Glad you enjoy this style and era of music. You're right it's not exactly "in-fashion" although there are still plenty of folks who enjoy it... particularly those with a few miles on their odometer.

How did you get into duo playing? I've been playing duo gigs a bit lately and its really fun, but that 7th string makes it sound incredible!

@PeteSmyser 2 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed the video! I started at about 18 years old performing solo and sometimes duo at restaurants. I've always been interested in performing in those settings and embraced the challenge of making the music sound full and complete despite the limitations involved with performing solo or duo. The 7-string extended bass range really helps in those settings!

These guys lack the multiple cigarette butt burns, red wine and pizza topping stains on their shirts to be considered true jazz musicians.
