Jonathan talks about playing authentic swing music. Lesson Excerpt.
About:
Jonathan Stout is a bandleader and guitarist specializing in pre-bebop jazz guitar. As a guitarist, Jonathan draws from the many and varied styles of pre-bebop jazz guitar, including the rhythm guitar of Freddie Green, the electric single-note style of Charlie Christian, the acoustic block-chord solos of Allan Reuss, and the gypsy-jazz of Django Reinhardt. Jonathan also writes a noted blog on swing guitar (now found here, on this website). Beside playing in his own bands, Jonathan is a member of the Bonebrake Syncopators (led by DJ Bonebrake of the band X), and has played guitar for Michael Gamble and his Rhythm Serenaders, Josh Collazo's Candy Jacket Jazz Band, Casey MacGill, Dean Mora (Mora's Modern Rhythmists, et. al), the Boilermaker Jazz Band, the Lucky Stars, Jim Ziegler’s Swingsations, Josh Collazo and his Feetwarmers, Bill Elliott, and Johnny Crawford. He played on Jeremy Wakefield's 2005 Album, "Steel Guitar Caviar" (Ecco-Fonic), as well as Michael Gamble and his Rhythm Serenaders' self-titled 2016 debut album.

You play just the way I am striving to play. Keep these sounds coming!

Hey Jonathan great vid and insights! I've only known about your playing for a short time but I can see you're absolutely committed to the 30s & 40s style. On authenticity, I think of a player of Primitive American guitar named Andrew Lardner; he faithfully recreates the tunes of Fahey and Kottke (fingers flying all over the place) BUT when he plays Rev. Gary Davis he uses his thumb and only his forefinger, cuz that's how Davis played. Now Andrew didn't have to play like that (and I wouldn't have thought to...), but he did, and I really appreciate him for that. And I really appreciate where YOU'RE coming from! I downloaded a couple of your albums, btw. Keep up the outstanding work!

It’s hard to exaggerate just how important this nearly six minutes of insight into what Swing Music needs in order to be authentic. I absolutely concur with every point Johnathan makes. I had to smile at the mention of the modern drum set with small Bass Drum and big cymbals. Likewise, Electric Bass, Electric Piano, amplified horns…. Give me strength!! I play a ‘43’ Slingerland Radio King set up with 26” Bass Drum, Calf Heads all round, thin Zildjian cymbals with a Wahlberg & Auge High Hat Stand with the classic Dave Tough ‘Ring’. In essence, think like your in the mid 30’s to mid 40’s and what musicians then would use and you won’t go wrong. Finally, try to clear your mind of everything musical since that time.Not easy but it can be done…

Great insight into a wonderful art form. I had to laugh when you said the musicians have been with you for 20 years …… apart from bass players which we’ve changed. As a bass player I’m very hurt to be compared to an oil filter instead of being part of the engine 😂

Hey Man we speak the same language . I’m always trying to find the right guys to join what I feel. It’s hard. I run my own vintage studio in the UK complete valve and ribbon. It’s important to get the right groove. I’ve dug you for the last few years excellent work Jonathan. Thanks.

Hello there, Hope you're well. May I ask, for (hopefully) future reference, do you run the studio as a business? I've had an eye out for studios with vintage recording methods. Just wondered if it's a personal, home studio or open for other artists? Best wishes to all 👍

@patsybaby 7 месяцев назад

@@valentinexyz Hi mate hope you’re well. I did have a studio space on a farm which was really nice but it got taken over by a big corporation that wanted offices and the lease ran out so had to move everything. So at the moment the set up is in a spare room. Not much room sound.

@valentinexyz 7 месяцев назад

@@patsybaby Ah man, that's a pity. Big business eating up real business. Good luck getting alternative measures sorted. I've got a mate, locally, who's getting his studio off the ground. Be good to talk old school recording with you at some point. Best wishes to all.

@patsybaby 7 месяцев назад

I tell you what I have an Ampex 300 bathtub recorder 1951 for sale all working great. If you’re mate is building a studio?

@valentinexyz 7 месяцев назад

I'll pass that info on@@patsybaby, thank you 👍

I’m learning the style as I’ve just started with a big band.

@PiotrBarcz 2 месяца назад

I'll make this clear right now: You can play swing drums on a brand spanking new set. It's not the drums, it's the drummer, you get the sound you want with correct technique. (also massive cymbals existed in the 30s, a big ride sounds phenomenal with swing, big hihats have more wash and have a thicker sound that a lot of the time you'll hear in the 30s small groups recordings, big bass drums, small bass drums, eh, small drum is easier to control and can sound like a big drum on a recording)

@normhardy Год назад

Great video! It's good to hear to you clarify things. Did you get to jam with Romaine at the DjangoFest? If so, are there any videos out there? Thanks.

@TheLicorice3 24 дня назад

Great player ,great music , I’m a huge fan but I don’t like hearing about how other musicians suck .

@pedrom8831 Год назад

I really struggle with this. A lot of people I know much prefer a laid back pull, rather than a hot push. They just think I’m being pedantic, but time and feel are the bedrock of this whole music.

@DavidSchneiderIP Год назад

I've always liked hot. Drive it, up, stompin'.
