make it your business to see this guy live, what he's after is what everyone who says they play jazz should be after..this cats playing is DEEP...and he plays with the best guys in town (ari hoenig, joe martin, jeff ballard, the cohens etc.)
Gilad is wonderful, very tasty soulful styling and maturity beyond his years, I love how he compliments his playing in the higher register with lines and chordal fragments in the lower register. cliff in tokyo
Its a Vintage Gibson Howard Roberts Signature guitar, Epiphone(then owend by Gibson) also made it at some point. Gibson still produce it but its a different design now.
Holy Shit I own that same guitar. I payed $800.00 for it in 1980. I freind of mine got one used same time for $350.00. They sell on ebay for about $1500.00. Proof you don't need a high end guitar to get a great sound. It is the player and the amp.
Wow.. he obviously has a great harmonic understanding. I feel ashamed to have my guitar videos on the same youtube that he does......ouch... its too good..
didn't really dig the completely abstract bass solo- And i get that its extremely difficult to pull that off. But man, that guitarist is goin' places, ya know?
