Agree with your perspective. Melodic perfection not overplaying is what made what make George a GREAT guitarist in my view too. I love listening to the musicality in George's playing, but would never waste my time listening to e.g. Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen shredding no matter how technically proficient they are.

I was so lucky to have Peppino as my high school buddy. In those times he was a good football (soccer) player too... I saw him again in a very small venue show in Turin , Italy, where we met with other common friends in the early nineties and, to my surprise, he recognized me from them school days! . I was supposed to play in the same venue that night, but I could not find the courage to play after such a master. What a fantastic player and wonderful man, he is!

Black Mtn increased form £5 to £8.74 (around $11), so a big save up for the thinner version(after a $500 spend on the new Vintage Paul brett Viator EQ)BUT this is my goto pick now for guitar and in top 3 or 4 for tenor ukulele (low G) After major house search totally lost my only DAVA made USA pick, and again they ain't as cheap as others, but getting the 5 pack mix for Christmas (£9/$11 for one of each .. bear in mind the metal one alone is £5/$6). DAVA has three marks for adjustment and is bendy. Gotta have some DAVA. Got some cheap knock off Butterfly picks from China and never use them they are painful to say the least. I am sure the USA originals will be much better.Have a little tin box full of Hendrickx picks, the guy said Jimi played every one (joke). I have actually sat on hendrickx 2 seater sofa, with foot on Clapton's rug, AND HELD and almost played Jimis left handed guitar. All at Hard Rock Cafe London in the cellar vault. (the first one). So with all of the above, plus some Dunlop thumbpicks and various nylon/plastic flatpicks. my mojo is high. i find girls prefer a guitarman regardless of picks, but for a different type of girl play banjo, or for an old girl play uke. Just sayin'. Thanks for the review Robert.

Thanks, Al. I'm glad Shubb capos are working for you. When I have time to tweak my tuning after putting on a capo (e.g., at home or in the studio), they're excellent and sound great. But for me, Shubbs are inconsistent at addressing tuning issues that happen when I move the capo around WHEN PERFORMING LIVE. I don't have a roadie prepping my guitars and getting them in perfect tune before each song. So I wanted to avoid having to check tuning and make minor adjustments while on stage. I always hoped to find a capo that didn't throw the guitar out of tune at all - at any fret. That's why I decided to buy and test this uniquely designed capo. As you can see in the video, it passed with flying colors on SIX of my most challenging guitars. The Pro Plus performed better than either of my Shubbs - on reason why I was compelled to make this video!

IFirst, great video, love your enthusiasm. I saw a video of Paul demonstrating (at the White House) something that was peculiar about a mellotron. If he held a chord and turned the instrument off, its pitch smoothly dropped down at least a few whole steps. Is this what was done in Strawberry Fields after the intro and right on the word “going” in the line “Let me take you down, ‘cause I’m goin to”?
@RobertCassard 7 күн бұрын
Hey Timothy. First, thanks for watching and saying hello. Second, regarding the Mellotron, it actually had a pitch knob that controlled pitch by slowing down the tape loops. Pretty sure that’s what Paul used for the Mellotron flute introduction you’re referring to. Turning off the machine causes a smooth drop that’s more infinite. If you’re interested, check out the video I made about writing and producing my original song Half Life, which incorporates outtakes of two Mellotron samples played by John. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIe1f6OIjJx9jKMsi=ALk2qDA6XPgLOCz7

Thanks, Geo. It's interesting to think that your "greatest musical artist of all time" wouldn't HAVE to be the best singer, guitarist, songwriter or performer. What you're saying highlights how many variables are involved in writing and performing music, then listening and responding to it. The SOUL of a song, a performance, and a recording are almost impossible to quantify. Ultimately, each listener FEELS what they feel, and that feeling determines how they "rank" the value of that musician. By that measure, I'm confident Lennon (along with McCartney, and often, Harrison), would be top-ranked musician by massive quantities of people around our age.

@RobertCassard 11 күн бұрын
Hi RL. YES! I've tried 80/20 .13s on my HD-40 (a modified HD-28). My experience: it added 3 db of overall volume while strumming, with greater emphasis on the bass. It sounded impressive, but was ultimately too loud for me to sing along with comfortably. Even with fairly low action, the feel was stiffer and therefore a little less fun to play for long periods. When I switched back to 12s, it just sounded "just right" to me and definitely played more easily. The only reason I'd ever go back to 13s is if playing in an acoustic setting with louder instruments like banjo and mandolin.

Thank you!!!! I can't use my Kyser anymore due to hand arthritis so I have been searching for a new type for a while now. So glad you tried them all for me so I don't have to! 😊

I'm glad you found this video helpful, Lisa. I'm starting to work on a course for intermediate and advanced guitarists who are stuck or frustrated due to conditions like arthritis. It's surprising what a difference small changes can make. Switching capos is a small but important one.

Hi to all. I just got my pro plus capo yesterday and it is amazing. I found out the correct way to put on a g7 capo, but still couldn’t get the right amount of pressure when squeezing the capo closed. However, I got the hang of the pro plus right away. I don’t have it down exactly just yet, I know I’ll get it soon. I’m fiding that I need to get the screw turned pretty tight so I don’t get any string buzz. The pro plus is much lighter then both my kizer capo or my g7 capo. I ended up just giving my g7 capo to the very nice guy that was helping me. I even tried the pro plus capo on a breedlove concert. Evan the buy who was helping me, even put new elixir strings on the breedlove concert. The pro plus capo worked very well on the guitar. I want that guitar so bad. I just don’t have the $2100 it costs. I am saving up for it though So if any of you guys are looking for a new capo, I highly recommend the pro plus. I will be ordering a couple more pro plus capos so I can have one for each of my guitars.

I'm happy you found this video and I'm glad you're enjoying your Pro Plus, Joshua. I find it takes the guesswork out of using a capo. I just place the capo against the upper side of the neck, make sure it's close to (and vertically aligned with) the fret, then dial in the minimum pressure for all strings to ring out clearly.

George was a natural on the guitar. He provided what was needed for every song the Beatles did(as did Ringo). Just like Ringo,he was nor a person that was a slave to practicing. To paraphrase Eric Clapton"George could have been just as complex and fast as any of the greats but did not like to practice'.I wish I had the exact quote available.

I agree, Robert. I relate to George in that I've never been heavily into practice, practice, practice. Still I've played many thousands of hours and done tons of learning on the job while playing live and in the studio. I consider myself a "functional guitarist" in that I learn and play exactly what I need to enhance a song. In other words, George is a kindred spirit in that way!
