Thanks Jordan! 🙏💙 Too kind!

Thanks man! 🙏 Just in case anyone is wondering - the only AI thing people can hear in the backing track is the vocal track that was prompted by the guy making the yacht rock version (linked in the description) 😅 The rest of the backing track I’ve programmed, played, arranged and improvised over.

You want him to hire a session musician to learn that song, record it, send it to him so he can mix it down. And pay for all that so he can put out one video on KZbin? We could be saying the same thing about using midi and samples for drums.

This is where I’m at a bit of a crossroads with AI man. Personally, I really don’t like the idea that AI is going to be a massive part of music in the coming years but at the same time, there’s no way we can stop it. I came across the version (linked in the description) over the Christmas holidays and quite frankly, it slaps haha! It inspired me to recreate it from scratch and put my own spin on it. I just think we have to find ways in which we as musicians can stay relevant. My intent is not to replace musicianship with AI. This version I’ve made here is entirely organic in the guitar playing, programming (if that counts), arrangement and improvisation - elements that AI cannot replicate yet. The only AI generated thing you hear here is the vocal track the guy originally prompted. Using AI as a tool to reinterpret ideas should be about adapting to new technologies, not undermining musicians. The focus should be on how we can evolve our craft to remain relevant in a changing landscape. Being actually able to play, improvise and perform live is going to be integral in the future. I’m personally hoping that AI can’t improvise or play live in the future. If it can, I’d like to think that I’ll have put in enough work over the years for people to prefer the human playing rather than the AI! 😅

Even if Ai takes over, nobody is Mr. Jack G. I’ll listen to his playing regardless because he is pleasant to listen to. Keep making videos Jack! We will be doomed if not.

My brother you are amazing!!! Keep doing your thing!! 🤘🏾

I wish you have a touching your mind by Jack's playing.

Oh hush

Ok

I replied to another comment saying a similar thing. I’m split into two mindsets about it man. Personally I despise the idea of AI taking over, but there’s no stopping it and we as musicians have to find a way to adapt to the landscape moving forward. The only thing you hear here that is AI generated is the vocal track - the rest I’ve played, programmed, arranged and improvised over. The reply to the other comment is more in depth if you want my thoughts on it! 🙏

Thanks man! I’m using Neural DSP Archetype Cory Wong’s DI console/amp on this one, with the compressor on in front! Position 4 on the guitar!
