A legend on the British Folk Music Scene, John Joyce, along with Cyril Davis,pioneered the 12 string guitar in the UK. Blues was his first love and he appeared with such greats as Howling Wolf,Jesse Fuller, Reverend Gary Davis,Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee. John's playing a 'one off' Harmony Stella 12 string, made for a trade show in the 60's, but not released on sale, shame about that, as it's got a great sound. Sadly,in February 2004, John passed away.

2019 this is probably the 500th time I've watched it since it was aired 12 years ago

@PaulBrettGuitarist 17 лет назад

thanks for your sincere comments on my friends playing. During his lifetime John never got anywhere near the accolades he deserved, but now after his death, many people are begining to take notice. Like you, John always said he was living in the wrong generation. But thanks to you tube, i can now promote his talents. Paul.

Thank you for sharing this video! I had the great privilege to know JJ, back in the early '90s. My first job out of school, at 15, was working at Hands Guitars in Kingston. John used to pop in once a week to do repairs (he set up all my guitars at the time). He was a rare beast in musician circles, always happy to impart wisdom but never patronising (even to an arrogant little snot-nose like me). A lovely bloke, sorely missed.

Hey, Dan! I too remember John with a great deal of admiration and affection, but bugger, I wish he'd played some guitar for us at the shop! A true master! Also fixed up a few of my guitars. I've still got that SG jnr. Been enjoying your posts on FB. Hope you're well, man.

John was a close friend of my mum, and I was proud to call him a friend too. I found a cassette of his work that I hadn't seen in over 10 years the other day... what a joy it was to listen to again. A legend as both a guitarist and a human being. The world is a better place for having had JJ in it.

@VenLon 16 лет назад

An amazing man and guitarist. I knew John well - I'm Nick by the way Paul, son of some very good friends of Sue and John. It was an honour to know him and listen to him play. Greatly missed, but not forgotten.

@thekobolds 14 лет назад

This is a really beautiful piece. New obsession = watching John Joyce videos.

@jevpots 16 лет назад

So lovely to find this when looking for something else. Brought back memories of seeing Johney with Big Mac and Beverly as the Levee Breakers at the Ailsa Tavern in Twickenham almost every week - so many amazing blues players around that area then I thought the whole world was awash with the finest music. Somewhere I have a print by John of Leadbelly's guitar. A beautiful graphic which got put away when I moved house. Must find tomorrow and restore to pride of place. Many thanks for posting.

Always a pleasure to listen to Gandalf playing his guitar

@PocusUK 13 лет назад

Just love the rich sound that 12 strings produce, must get one!

@PaulBrettGuitarist 17 лет назад

Hi timmey, unfortunately John's not on this earth any more. He died in Feb 2004. Without his and others pioneering efforts in a distant generation, i doubt there would have been stages for people like Tommy E to play. Both have certainly made contributions to the acoustic genre in their respective careers.

@fiftymillionbeers 15 лет назад

Hey ho all you 12vees, John was a good friend and set up all my Guitars and more it's great to hear ya'll seeing his work I haven't propperly learned this track yet but Paul Brett will teach you...X X James & Sue

@Blackband13 14 лет назад

bet that gutiar plays beautifully, i have an old guild 12 from the 70's, beats the hell out of my fender 12 string from the 80's. If i play acoustic i always use my 12 strings, i don't know why, its that huge beautiful sound that i just love. There not difficult to play, it's jsut that you have to have strong and flexible hands to handle 6 more strings.

@PaulBrettGuitarist 13 лет назад

@MrBlindBart John did some shows with Jesse, but never owned Jesse's guitar. John said that Jesse made lots of modifications to his Prarie State from it's original design. He said Jesse was always experimenting with stuff.

@PaulBrettGuitarist 17 лет назад

It's normal tuning with the low E octave strings down to D. The whole guitar is tuned down in pitch about a tone and a half to 2 tones below pitch. Paul

@coltreas 13 лет назад

Wonderful playing.Thats the way a 12-string should sound

@PaulBrettGuitarist 17 лет назад

Thanks for your kind comments. When John was alive, no one paid any attention to the work he did on the 12 string. He would be amazed at all the positive comments by RU-vid viewers and RU-vid for providing the means to carry on his memory. Paul Brett

@PaulBrettGuitarist 14 лет назад

@milkybar100 Harmony Stellas are not expensive compared to original Oscar Schmdt Stellas. John is playing a 1970's Harmony Stella made for a trade show. You can find inexpensive Harmony Stellas on Ebay for a few hundred dollars. Paul

@fiftymillionbeers 16 лет назад

way better than the usual, that man knows his stuff.

@sillywillydilly123 15 лет назад

this song man is from heaven

@47krat 17 лет назад

this is amazing stuff- it's the best and most beautiful music played on quitar I've ever heard. Great job there..

@thallassocracy 14 лет назад

I'd forgotten how good Velvet Opera were (intermittently). I suppose it's time I trawled the vinyl in the attic again. Thanks for that - it will keep me going for several months at least.

@PaulBrettGuitarist 17 лет назад

According to John before he died, this is a one off Harmony/Stella 12 string made for a trade show in the 1970's. Paul

@AximVidya 13 лет назад

whenever I'm stoned and I listen to awesome 12-string tunes I eargasm so hard I nearly pass out

@AlanSturgess 9 лет назад

Paul features this extract on his excellent double DVD "12 string guitar and Beyond - Collecting vintage guitars". I just wish some of Paul's own 12 string recordings were still available. His website only lists 'Songs from the Compleat Angler' in which (I'm sad to say), it often sounds as if he was singing an octave higher than his voice could comfortably manage.

@woodwhips 14 лет назад

love the concentration, the emotion....

@PaulBrettGuitarist 17 лет назад

CD where this is on in the full version is ACOUSTIC POWER Visit the Fret-Dancer site, it's available as download or mailed CD. Other John Joyce CD available as mail item packed with Blues songs is also available via same sie, you have to email a request. Hope this helps.

@pint6x 17 лет назад

I got my CD through - thanks Paul - Acoustic Power - superb stuff - cheers - Philip B

@joao878 17 лет назад

@sunbeams7 17 лет назад

Do you know..after enduring reality TV with my teen daughters,plus every kind of bullshit talk show, I had just about given up on the world, but then to find an individual video on U'tube that gladens my heart, Ok this week ,I will not Top myself

@PaulBrettGuitarist 14 лет назад

It's a one off Harmony / Stella 12 string, according to John, it was made for a Trade Show in the 1970's. Paul

@yesindeed155 14 лет назад

That was aweasome time to learn it.

@tidewaterblues 14 лет назад

Crisp, clean picking and flawless fretwork .. a great reading .. I enjoyed this enormously. I don't recognise your instrument .. tail-strung 12-strings are rare beasts indeed .. is it an early Framus?

@Anjohl 14 лет назад

I love the sound of these things!

@PaulBrettGuitarist 17 лет назад

Thanks Phillip, guess you've heard John's full version of Jubillee on it. He's using a different guitar , Guild F212 tuned down 2 tones. What a sound ! Paul

@vicamor7071 7 лет назад

Hello Paul Brett! I have a Gerlach 12-string he made for me back in 1964 that I don't play much anymore, but just got my hands on a Martin 12-string set of strings for the Pete Seeger J12SO! and am thinking about restringing the old beast and seeing if I can still play a little.

@PaulBrettGuitarist 16 лет назад

Thank You !!! The free download tabs for Jubillee on my paulbrettguitarist site are the full version that John plays on the Acoustic Power CD (available from fret-dancer)plus an added sequence that John plays towards the end of the clip seen here on RU-vid which is only the short version. Paul

@ResQRaces 4 года назад

Please someone help, the Amazon link for this song doesn’t work anymore! I’ve been in love with this song now for years and I just want to listen to it without having to pull up RU-vid!! Luke

@PaulBrettGuitarist 14 лет назад

@milkybar100 Another thing to note, especially if trying to play John's style is that he plays a 12 string with 12 frets to the body, not 14 as most new guitars have. He also tunes his guitar to a lower pitch. Either One and a half or two tones down from concert. He then tunes the two low E strings down a further tone. Have a look at my Paul Brett list on RU-vid where I have put Ja clip showing Johns tuning. Paul

@PaulBrettGuitarist 16 лет назад

It's a Harmony / Stella 12 string. As far as we know, it's original. As John is no longer alive to check with, we have to rely on his statement that this was a one off made for a guitar exhibition in the 1970's.

@ZOD4 15 лет назад

Whoa, this may sound lame but this tune reminded me of the tune they played on the last ep of Friends. When the camera zooms into the peep-hole of the door.

@PaulBrettGuitarist 15 лет назад

Hi Craig, Click on the more info tab in the top right hand corner, under the paul brett photo. You will see a link to my site paulbrettguitarist. When you have found it, go to the downloads section and Jubillee is there for you to download. Enjoy, Paul

@PaulBrettGuitarist 14 лет назад

@horbergaren Yes, John and I played a duo for many years and also in The Velvet Opera. He was a good friend and a great 12 string player. Paul

@fiftymillionbeers 16 лет назад

@jsipflatpickd28 14 лет назад

@srdjanNS87 16 лет назад

@PaulBrettGuitarist 16 лет назад

There is now a free tab download on the same link as John's on the paulbrettguitarist web site....enjoy Paul

@alexstrat 17 лет назад

just awesome, I'm wondering what guitar he playes

@PaulBrettGuitarist 17 лет назад

La Bella silk and steel medium gague strings was what John used on the guitar for this recording.

@YouWhoofy 14 лет назад

@bmills225 tune the top set of strings like a regular guitar. the on the second set, tune the top 4 each an octave lower that the string above it. the bottom 2 pairs are the same tuning. bb and ee same octaves. i hope this makes sense.

@1markusspartacus 12 лет назад

That's a fantastic post Paul. I read your article about John in Acoustic today so had to listen. Is that Stella still fir sale?

@TheAStro2790 15 лет назад

It does. That song was Embryonic Journey by Jefferson Airplane.

@PaulBrettGuitarist 15 лет назад

I've just put a short clip on you tube with John's dropped D tuning which may be of help.

@dahuterschuter 15 лет назад

Wow, he's great. I just started getting into 12-string music, and I haven't seen someone like this yet. Know of any other great players?

@pachacamacs 17 лет назад

Wonderful. A real musician.

@crisphate95 14 лет назад

someday i´ll get one of those

@PaulBrettGuitarist 14 лет назад

@horbergaren Thanks for your kind words. If John were alve today I'm sure he would have showed you how to play his style. Paul

@PaulBrettGuitarist 15 лет назад

I will have a look to see if I have anything else I can share of John's work. He was also a great Blues vocalist and there may be a song I can find. Keep looking at the site. Paul

@phleugh 15 лет назад

thats an amazing song... i just got a 12 string, and i didnt realise you could do stuff like this on it!! i thought it was mostly just for playing chords! haha

@FunkyMonkMan 14 лет назад

12 strings are fabulous. Rory Gallagher really knew his way around one aswell.

@intelliGENeration 15 лет назад

true... action makes a big difference, string type as well. then 12 string takes some getting used to in terms of thickness of the neck and picking.

@PaulBrettGuitarist 15 лет назад

It's difficult to answer a question like this politely as by the very nature of the sound you have a fundamental difference between 6&12 string guitars. I'm sure others however will be able to assist you in a more direct manner !

@Kandy2314 16 лет назад

Paul, Now the question is - Where are your free tabs to your awesome music :]

@horbergaren 14 лет назад

if i could wish that i would meet the songwriter of any song and be taught the song by him/her in person, it would be this one

@Frarodotnet 14 лет назад

Just: WOW!!

@Radek24102410 5 лет назад

Is the album still somewhere to buy or hear ? :-)

@HistoryScholaR_ 15 лет назад

great player. sad loss..

@micheltenaus 13 лет назад

@fm4100 I think it's in a Drop D tuning. DADGBE. You see just the first string change.

@EggBagg26 12 лет назад

Amazing.

@horbergaren 15 лет назад

yep, and he's back now, probably playing his guitar right now, he died 2004

@eggbertsmith 12 лет назад

This individual stepped right out of a cartoon. Oh that face! Someone cast him in a fantasy and/or horror film, quick!

@hartleymartin 14 лет назад

Looks like a 12-string Classical Guitar (ie Nylon strings) Fantastic sound - I'm buying a 12-string soon. (University student, usual problem with trying to have enough money for anything).

@PaulBrettGuitarist 15 лет назад

It is standard tuning but tuned down from pitch with the bass E strings dropped to D.

@hEINRICh6669 15 лет назад

Wow. That is amazing:D

@PaulBrettGuitarist 15 лет назад

I've just put a short clip on you tube with John's dropped D tuning which may be of help

@horbergaren 14 лет назад

@guitbrett yeah i can see that, he was awesome

@PaulBrettGuitarist 15 лет назад

John used to play with all strings tuned down either a tone - tone and a half or sometimed 2 tones down from concert. THEN he dropped the bottom Eoctave strings down another tone.

@RyanTheSunsFan 15 лет назад

I play a twelve string and it IS a little more difficult but you get used to it very quick. And as far as the pressure, it isn't cut in half that doesn't made any sense. Its just like a 6 string but each string has a buddy that harmonizes with it, there is no reason why the pressure would be different. The only thing that is different is that you have to press down 2 strings with each finger as opposed to one.

@bmills225 14 лет назад

Been playing guitar for years, self taught. Today I received a 12 string I ordered online and realized I don't know how to tune it properly. Considering I've never been taught anything on guitar I don't understand how to tune an octave up with the EADG strings. If someone can help i'd greatly appreciate it!!

@niwm 14 лет назад

Well, since I assume you don't have an electronic tuner (seriously, those things are great), you could always use another instrument such as piano to do the tuning. I guess there's free sites where you can do this online, too. I'm self-taught too so I can't say exactly how to tune a 12-string but I do know there's most likely enough resources on the subject on the internet. Try googling for it.

@Geoff2378 11 лет назад

May I have the tabs please, Thank you .....

@booyahsharp 15 лет назад

Hilllaaarious.

@PaulBrettGuitarist 16 лет назад

There is more info on John on my Fret-Dancer web site under about us. Cant post the link here because RU-vid doesnt seem to accept other web links posted. But tou can Google site. Paul
