Shame nobody ever talks about/shows amps and amp sttings when doing pickup demos.

Sounds great! Great playing, too. It's funny you say you wouldn't want to use this for jazz, since this was THE Charlie Hunter effect in the 90's.

Great tone and great playing sir. Thanks for the vid.

Great video and very tasty playing. Thank you!

By far the best tone there is. Ramon i know this is an old video, but your playing is second to none mate

Superb bud!! X

😎🙂👏👍

Ramon: Great music, Always so great, your channel is terrific, it’s a treat.

Hey! I have a Vintage DeArmond Gold Foil and I am thinking if the Guyatone sounds much different that its worth to spend 400€ on a single pickup 👀👀👀... And second question.. Is there much difference between you Stratocaster oder telecaster in this coodercaster setup or is it kind of the same when you install the same electronics, strings and Pickups? Wich Bridge pickup would you recommend that would work good together with the gold foil in the neck? Because I would like to have the playability of a normal pickup without the metal cover! With the Midrange sound of a valco pickup. Thanks a lot! Niklas

I loved the Idea, the Super sustain of a slide guitar pickup and the Gretch Humbucking bridge pickup would be great on a sears Silverstone or any Bootleg Stratocaster $50 guitar that stays in tune and has a good neck. I got out my $250 Harley Benton HH-35 plus with the Roswell Pickups, it has just as much sustain/ tone as the Cooter caster as is. It's like a Les Paul / Marshall amp, a good fretting strato with Humbuckers just has that thicker mid/bass sound, it just works. I mean if you got an old slide that's damaged it's a great sound, but you could get a set of Humbuckers off an wrecked Gibson or Gretch make that Strato off brand sound like a winner. Nothing like walking on stage with a Bootlegg strat and blowing the roof off the joint, win/win.

I have a Powersonic, but is a different model, it is basicaly a Rockman with the amp. I beleive it is an older model than the video because it has less plastic parts. not sure how to send a pic here but the "mystery" jack IS a headphone as it it labeled (etched) on the pickguard. Love the Japanese weird guitars, i have a few!

What pick ups are in that? Great tone

Great playing bro I love the strat color scheme thanks for cool vid most importantly have fun rock on stay well peace out brother bye

What kind of bridge do you have on there?

What amp and delay. Sounds amazing!

Really nice tone... (...now where've I heard that tone before?)

Always revisiting your channel Ramon, your playing and lessons, so superb and a natural player. We are fans of Ry and Joachim Cooder as you are too.

Ramon always fantastic playing and content, your channel is a favorite for us, thanks so much. Your lesson content is always great, like your guitar builds so much too! All the Best, always subscribing here, we’ll keep in touch, Pete

Do you play slide on pinky, ring or index. Great playing. Thanks Ramon!

When he says Joseph Spence was a big influence, he's not kidding, because 90% of what he does on a guitar is Joseph Spence, including and especially funny little details. If things were kind of normalized somehow, it would be hard to tell them apart

I build my Coodercaster on Friday, lock to my KZbin video

oh wow, i just got recomended to your channel by a mutual friend of the channel, lets just call him ray, and that he is a luthier. have a sub mate, you are a fantastic player and that slide work is sublime...ry cooder is the best, and crossroads is my fave movie of all time. best regards wes

Ry Cooder- do you want my job? I say no sir!😂

as he says in other videos, the guitar itself is the dominant factor

Is that mystery jack for headphones?

Great demo, lovely tone 👌🏼 are they available in England anywhere or did you have to order it direct from the states?

Thanks for taking the time to make such an informative video. Your tip on how you set your action by whether you can get a clean slide sound on the G string is a good one. Couple of questions regarding strings. When you say 12s, do you mean 12 to 52? And what about the G string… is it 24 wound or are you substituting an unwound string, and if so what gauge? Thanks!

Hi Ramon, I admire your talent and brave curiousity to tackle this unusual instrument. I acquired one several years ago, and I am working with a luthier to convert it by adding tuners and a pickup. Will you share with me the string gauges of the 5 strings? I am trying to sort this out with charango, timple and classical guitar nylon strings.

That was outstanding. So nice to watch someone who can play so well and understands and expresses the whole PG universe. Thanks. Btw. What was the amp and reverb? Delay? Cause to me the verb has such an importance to his sound. Loved the crème on the bridge. It looks so cool I might be tempted for the neck too!

the notch in some Tele bridge plates is done for reasons of comfort. Danny Gatton (R.I.P.) modified his Tele for that reason...

Thought was Steve Bannon for a second

He talks about music like no one else. Smart smart.

Fascinatating & wonderful. I could listen to Ry talk about making his music forever. Thanks si much for this. ❤

I e used an SRV pedal for my Dumble/Princeton pushed Bassman tones for 12 years, simply awesome but got unreliable lately so bought a Simble during COVID lockdown The simble is very versatile ( Markov video) Obviously the SRV is a dual pedal so I thought I'd use a comp in front, my old Analogman Juicer takes it up a huge level. Now the SRV is only used at home...

amazing playing!!!

Man you sound great! Pedal brings out the nuance in your sound

Thanks for the valuable slide info Mr. Goose! And the great playing! 👍👍👍

Ramon: Very Great slide playing & a nice guitar, a beautiful blonde tele. Super channel & videos, we learn so much, thank you so much. Like the Ry Coodercaster tech discussions too and the gear info.

Really cool

That’s 💯 Ry Cooder imho! 🎸👍

I’d forgotten how good this performance was 👍

Sounds great, has a vide all of its own it sounds like it would cut through in a band mix! I’m on the prowl for one of those old projectors to see if I can have a go at converting it. Cheers Ramon for sharing!

It has a really nice older punch sound. Kind of like my old Twin. Nice playing Ramon!

That's some serious grease you're laying down there Ramon

Thanks Ramon, That's exactly the old dirty bluesy sound I have been looking for. Now, I know what I need to do.

What a great band... I just gotta grab me sweetie and commence to dancin' (!)

Love how it goes to the F#... Dot's a really really cool, mon!

Brilliant!!!

Ramon, great music and super playing. Very enjoyable, we enjoy your channel very much, what great rhythms. Thank you
