Thanks to the support of people like you, my channel is growing a little bit every day. I believe that in this era, material abundance is important, but spiritual values are really important, and I always think that music has a great role in recovering it and creating balance in our lives.Thank you for your comment. Have a great weekend and week.

The general rules we have guide our lives and society, so the outcome depends on what rules we choose to use. Music, in particular, has a very wide range of rules, and when we choose the most useful ones, I'm sure we can really appreciate its meaning. Thanks so much for your comment making me so glad and I look forward to seeing you in the future with more great videos.

After reading your comment and observing this video, yes, I think I could think like you. But it wasn't applied any speed editing on this video, because if it was, the solo intro at the beginning and the band sound afterward wouldn't have the same key or pitch. That's a very interesting point. The parts where I was soloing fast mainly presented chromatic scale. The point is "connection", and if you listen to it over again, you could find out. It's very simple when you know it, I just played it fast. Thanks for your comment. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The hollowbody archtop guitar I play is a copy of the Gibson ES175. The body is similar in size to Ibanez's GB series, but slightly thicker. I replaced the pickups with Epiphone's Probucker and set the pickups very close to the strings. My main guitar synth effector is the Boss SY200.

Hi Rodrigo, I've known a few Brazilians in the past, and their optimism and positive attitude is always memorable. Thank you for your happy new year message. May 2025 bring you even more joy and happiness. Thanks for your comment.

What makes Pat Metheny so great to me is that he gave me a simple, practical way to fight the conceptual wars of jazz improvisation. There are pros and cons to that of course, but he helped me overcome my limitations by how to use the simplest tools at my fingertips. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Yes, I agree. It's a great piece for jazz, especially for all band instrumentalists who play dominant chords. Thanks for your comment.

You're welcome, I'll continue to upload videos of my experiences with different instruments, and thanks for your comments.

Thank you for visiting and commenting on my channel, you are a really cool and wonderful person. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hello, I'm Brandon Lee, Looper Soloist Jazz Artist from the future. I am based in Brisbane, Australia and known as 'Jazzy Brissy'. The following two videos are a testimonial about how I create backing sounds and improvise in real time. The loop + drum loop pedal I use is the BOSS RC10R. Do you have any other questions? Thanks for your comment as well. Please don't forget to subscribe. Please check out my other educational videos in the TUTORIAL section (First page on my KZbin channel PLAYLISTS --->TUTORIAL). I hope you understand and benefit from them all. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bprYnWptg76jn7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3TMXoVvetpjpbs

Yes, I'm often surprised and delighted to find similarities in essential understanding beyond music. Thanks for the insight, I appreciate your comment.

Thank you for your question. I don't use the HX Stomp, and most of looper pedals require you to play and record all the instruments, but the Boss RC10R I use, it works with the drum loops. So, I can create band sound by myself. Is there anything else I can help you with? Please watch my video might help answer your questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3TMXoVvetpjpbs

Absolutely, I agree you. I only recorded the lowest state on purpose to compare. One tip is to take your guitar to a guitar shop and compare other new guitars you have been curious about. Because even cheap and lower quality instruments actually sound better in a good recording equipment environment and when you edit sound of them, the results are better. Thanks for your comment.

​@@JazzyBrissy I've left comment for some folks who "too literally" listening similar videos. All of these guitars should sound good and jazzy. But they need setup(usually in shops they came with too small gauge of strings like .10 or .11) and correct amplification that usually not always under hands in music stores.

@@nihirash Yes, that's a very sharp point. The gauge of the strings you mentioned can only be estimated by imagination because you can't really change all the strings in the shop, but that's a big part of it. I use 0.13 because I think that's the right gauge for my picking and tone, but guitar sellers don't go that far with their customers, because the imagination of the customer is what leads to the purchase, right?

Yes, thinking out of the box. I'm so glad you like it. Thanks.

Yes, the retro and nostalgic sensibilities of the 80s and 90s are very simple and intuitive techniques. Now it's transformed based on those technological advances, but you grew up in a time of analog and digital transition, so you're familiar with my style and techniques. Thanks for your comment.

Someone like you on this planet has a soul, yes, it's funky and you got the funk. Thank you for your comment.

Yes, he is a great musician.

It was a one-take recording at a memorial in the centre of a city street. The reason I love improvisation is because it allows me to realize my true nature. It's a journey into my consciousness. My instruments and equipment are the vehicles that help me get there. Thanks for your comment.

@@JazzyBrissy I see your instruments as an extension of your body. You and he are ONE. Your inspirations are fantastic.

@@canalrodrigobetim In fact, we are all born with that ability, but we don't seem to focus on it and value it. We should be interested in the unseen, the unheard, and the unspoken.

Thank you!

Brazil is a very beautiful country. The diverse culture, the passionate music, it has influenced me a lot, thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your comment. I'm aware of it is a great pleasure for the audience to hear and see my music live.

Thank you for your comment, I'd really appreciate it.

I think the most important part is the "concept" behind what we are playing because the truth is always around us and we do it every day such as II V, scales and so on, but its essence hard to recognize it. Sometimes, we might need to ignore the names and theories, to feel as it is instead. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you, sir.

Thanks a lot, have a great day!

I've always wanted a hollow body archtop guitar, so I ordered a DIY build-your-own guitar online as an experiment and to see what I could get for affordable. Please click on the following link to watch my video of building this guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHy4cpxmeJuUbpY

Thanks for your comment. I'd really appreciate it.

My channel is slowly growing because people like you understand and resonate with my music, so thank you for your comment.

Maybe my rendition is a little strange for those who like the original, but I'm grateful for people like you who are open-minded. I'd really appreciate your comment.

I've always had pianist friends to glimpse their theories, but that doesn't really help much, but it does give you a little understanding of how they work. I tend to think of guitar chords as slash "/ "chords, for example in this song, the first verse CM7 - D6 - Em7, then I choose Em/C - Bm/D - G/E. So, I try to play this song in my own way, like a band, separating the bass line from the guitar chords on top. If there are any chords in this song that you are unsure of, please let me know exactly what minute and second in this video.

The guitar string setting was actually a little tighter and the action a little higher, so please take that into consideration. Thanks for your comment.

It seems that the sound of the hollowbody archtop guitar is determined by the size of the body. In my personal experience, it seems to have the advantage of being more calm and more focused when playing low and medium bass. Thank you for your comment.

😉Thanks.

That's a great idea, I think it's important to only find things that you like and are familiar with so that you have your own feeling. I'll try to upload more videos in the future that will be good for the viewers like you. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks Patrick, your comments always inspire me.

I like that. 🎵

🙏🙂

Thanks!

It was one of the nicest gigs I've ever done, and the people who were there were all honest and positively optimistic about how they felt, just like you and I. For me, performing is a process of practice and musical experimentation, no matter how big or small, and it gives me hope that I always improve. When I was preparing for those shows, it was really inspiring to see the people around me step up and take on their roles voluntarily. Thanks for your comment. I'll upload good music and videos again soon.

I'll take that.

Thank you so much for your comment!

Yes, it was fun. Thanks a lot.

It was a very enjoyable performance. Your comments are very much appreciated.
