Jacksnax: Running On Empty! Jackson Browne/David Lindley First Solo 

Thnx!

Thanks! Totally agree.

Really nice of you to follow me over here! TGP is a little different these days, but I still have lots of friends there and I’m still pretty active. Cheers!

Thanks for making my day!

If that makes your day then BRAVO again!!! You show that it’s actually possible for a strat to sound like David Lindley … in YOUR hands.

Thank you!!! Have a look around at some of the other lessons and please consider subscribing✌🏻😊

Thanks Ryan

Thnx!😊

Thanks!

Thanks Mike! There actually no real amp involved. It’s a Kemper Profiler. It’s a simulation or recording of a real amp, in this case a Dumble clone. To my ears it sounds and feels amp like vs other direct recording solutions. It has a built in noise gate. That, plus my habit of rolling down the volume when I’m not playing is why it’s so polite. Glad you like the lessons! Spread the word! What else are you into?

Thank you very, very much.😀

Do you mind me asking what your signal chain is?

@@CJ77771 Hi, Just plugged into a Kemper Profiler. So in the real world it’s a cable into this one box. There’s actually no real amp involved. It’s a simulation or recording of a real amp, in this case a Dumble clone. To my ears it sounds and feels amp like vs other direct recording solutions. Some onboard FX are being used. Hall Reverb and a little delay. A smidge of (5%) mild chorus as well as a little compression. Most of the sound is in the left hand techniques; Vibrato,Bending & Sliding. Right hand picking pressure and the artful use of hammering into notes occasionally is pretty important too. The amp and FX contribute to the tone and help that last little bit. Look for a sound that sags a little. That bit of compression is what I look for when I’m shooting for this sound. The steel has great sustain so this helps mimic that aspect a bit. Focus on the timing and accents within the lines and you’ll be off and running in no time. Best, Jack

Thx so much. Great work.

Many thanks!

Thank you!

These are 10s and yep...it can get a little hard on the fingertips when learning a bend heavy bit like this. That said I think ultimately 10s are the right gauge (for me) for this tune... Thank you for the kind comment!

Thanks!!

OK… I’m not a huge devotee of Jackson Browne’s work. All I know is this version. Which I love! It’s off that live album… great solo.

Thanks!!!

Hi Gavin! Thanks for the comment. That’s a nice little solo…I’ll think about it for sure. 😊

Hi! Nope...never tried that one. Thanks for subscribing and for the kind words!

10s

I use a Kemper Amp profiler. The profile is from Top Jimi. The amp profiled is a Ceriatone copy of a Dumble. I’m using a little chorus and even less compression in addition to reverb and delay. All the FXs are built in to the Kemper and are tweaked by me to taste.

The main thing is to have a tone control on the bridge pickup. Roll it all the way down, and then bring it up until the top end starts to sound defined. My pickups are Dimarzio virtual vintage. NMB model names are heavy blues, blues and solo. I’m using a “Dumble” profile (ceriatone top jimi) and a little compression, delay and chorus. Plenty of reverb. Most of this is in the timing, vibrato and accuracy of your bends.

Thanks-we play this in G -such a great song do you do remote lessons?

@@petersky7470 yes I do!

Thanks do you have a lesson plan or syllabus/overview of how your instruction works/pricing etc…?

Thanks!!!

I don’t think I’d be able to get the finger vibrato and hold down the bender at the same time. I’ve never owned a B bender guitar but have one in the works. The thing I’m always chasing with steel emulations is getting the note in tune and then adding vibrato from below the target note, rather than fretting it and adding vibrato above. Sideways vibrato, glissandos/slides and 1/2 step bends into the target note are the best techniques I’ve found.

Read the comments for answers? There’s a pretty in depth reply. Mostly it’s bridge pickup with the tone rolled waaay down into a bright overdriven amp.
