BLUESDAY! 1961 Les Paul SG Standard 'The Fool'

[@PantheonLincoln]

I like this guy. He's not Phil X, but he's not trying to be. I'm happy that Fretted Americana is still giving us videos of sweet vintage/rare/cool guitars I'll never afford.

[@AlienSexGod]

This guy freaking rocks and has a great voice too!. "He isn't a PhilX"?... yeah he's fucking better and not a complete wanker!

[@KickflipGnasty]

??? Lol I love Phil, he has great guitar chops, but Jared is a better artist by a long shot

[@RenanBeltrao]

this dude is absolutely awesome. really one of the very phew who could have replaced mister X and leave no sour taste. Thanks fretted americana.

[@leemaxey6240]

I'm a Huge fan of Phil X but you have to respect the talent of James Jared Nichols. Great musician!

[@bruzrkgro-malog2953]

Excellent singer too!

[@RaunoT]

Big shoes to fill, but doing an amazing job so far, keep it up Jared!

[@josephlogan9348]

It would be awesome to see a full band demo with this guitar, playing some Cream!

[@mcglixter8300]

totally agree.....the lack of a full band jam at the end is definitely missed

[@heathereibach5546]

We want a band jam

[@rodbelding9523]

I'm really digging Jared, he's completely different than Phil, but his personality and different style is kind of a breath of fresh air.

[@Johnny-sj9sj]

Just when we were beginning to suspect that Phil X was going to be irreplaceable! Outstanding!

[@iananderson12796]

Steppin' out! And Blind Faith! This guy is the best!

[@Mission2Transition641]

Screams Clapton ! Screams Cream!...video of the week..Love this! Loved the tone on this SG...now ive got the SG FEVER again....sold my last one.. Sitting on top of the World was awesome!.....thumbs up!

[@josephcorcoran8714]

RICKY DEAN they are such cool guitars!

[@nickwayman]

When Phil gets back from tour land, I want to see these two have a jam session in front of the camera, that would be way cool!

[@trackerdon91]

Such a breath of fresh air hearing another guitarist

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

Won't lie, I hear Jared's singing, and i just expect him to start playing Kyuss, and I've got nothing wrong with that XD

[@KickflipGnasty]

Oh I could dig that!!!! So true!!!

[@riffdigger2133]

For all us that eat, breath, sleep and dream Live Cream we really enjoyed your entire video and choice of songs. Thank you.

[@lufiealice6251]

How can anyone not love a good old classic rocker?! Great demo dude!!

[@DC-hd5bo]

Man i can remember the ol' days of frettedamericana, Can't believe it's been like 8-9 years. You guys have come a long way congrats

[@defoperator7993]

sg has amazing sound when you play the low strings in the upper frets

[@wontgetfooledagain12]

Oh my god this man has every ounce of feel in his playing, fucking amazing

[@20Kman12]

killer rendition of sunshine of your love 👍 love this dude

[@WesleyACDCRythms]

Why is everybody so fk negative about this guy? I already see a lot of inprovemends sinds the first video's. I know the video's were probably recorded after each other. stop comparing him with phil. they both have their own thing, and they're good at it. keep on the good work

[@bloodletter3400]

Wesley ACDCRythms I have no fucking idea why this guy is so much better than Phil X and not to mention Jared to me is more about showing the guitar than him just showing off plus I like Jareds Vocals as well I think Phil is a great guitar player but sucks horribly in terms of singing idk Jared to me just seems like someone that I feel like I can enjoy more

[@WesleyACDCRythms]

I cant say he's better

[@mirraco323]

Most people don't realize that this is actually the guitar played on the live recording of Crossroads, not the 335.

[@bruzrkgro-malog2953]

This is now my new favourite in all of KZbin!

[@jimkavanagh9521]

How can anyone not like this guy? Good job.

[@soulassasin10]

awesome :) but please bring back the jams with the band at the end of the video, i miss those.

[@frettedamericana]

thats the plan

[@buddyollie180]

Sweet man! I can dig. Far out...

[@bruzrkgro-malog2953]

Oh damn! Love how he actually started singing it too. Nice voice and playing my man!

[@BerndThomasSchuller]

I like this guy! Great chops and great singer, too.

[@RobPierce103]

love that Blind Faith jam dude

[@TheBalboaReturnz]

Amazing paint job, some tasty Cream playin'... Even the tone rolled off "Woman" tone! What more can you ask for? Rock on' Jared!

[@JamesLovesRocks329]

That spectacular SG and that magnificent Marshal. Mmm

[@javiersanz29]

Hitherto, this one was the best in my opinion. What an absolute display of guitar playing skills. Who needs a pick when you master your finger technique!! Keep it up, proud of ya

[@robinmidgley102]

man who are the seven who didnt like this,Jared man you took us back in time great job i absolutely loved it fantastic job

[@kevinrichardson14]

damn this guy got the tone and the groove. gotta love SG's

[@fuzzmountain7583]

Sounds awesome. This guy is a great player.

[@Rickzenbackzer]

Fretted Americana, I'm an instant fan of Jared, he's a REALLY great player but please ask him to do these things in future videos: 1) Either scream his name at the beginning or insert some kind of loud high pitched "OWWW!" sound... 2) ...Insert more shouts and screams in general. 3) Go off on many random tangents and stories that often don't have anything to do with the guitar in the video.

[@jimdeeds]

Eye Beam or just be Phil...

[@TheZguitarboy67]

I hope Phil can make more vids I miss him. Jared just isn't doing the job for me for me.

[@seanomathuna2280]

Whatever about the screams, I need the random tangents though!

[@TheSwedishUploader]

The first performance was absolutely ass-kicking - couldn't be more sold on JJN, welcome to the family \m/

[@TheMickkcim]

Awesome player can't wait to see some vintage strats and lps

[@tomkoomen9254]

Man this guy rocks!

[@1lunesta]

Jared James Nichols, I hope you know you're that next GUITAR HERO! You are what is missing in todays Rock N' Roll era! Keep Rock'n! \m/ Shout out from TEXAS!

[@demohunter21]

JJN has a great voice and what an awesome player! Great replacement for Phil

[@tone.1]

Well that's put a smile on my face😊

[@mikepalumbo4362]

Cool! Glad y'all are back!

[@johncard2564]

Jared is a monster player and has his own style. Good choice!

[@aquabot]

That SG is awesome!

[@cyrfung]

I'm so glad this channel is back. I really enjoyed this video.

[@MrWilson-WithaPbass]

Awesome man ! I love this guy ....

[@marcusfreitas7919]

First time I've seen a Fretted Americana video with Jared. Amazing work man !!!!!!!!!

[@lecroixband]

Yep,couldn't have picked a better Phil in for Phil if youda had a contest.GreatjobJared!

[@a2wtommy]

Love me some 61 SG!

[@S0V23]

chill ass dude with some awesome playing.

[@rickdaskam4856]

Yes, I painted that guitar. Thanks for the mention. Rick Daskam

[@AudioAtmos]

Excellent demo and playing! Loved it!

[@bofuscrapshaw]

Love this guy

[@sld67869801]

Excellent work Jared! That Buddy Guy wah sounds extremely cool.

[@mike7652]

That's a sweet axe! A few things though... Clapton's was mid-60's (64/65) and never had the Deluxe Vibrato (sideways vibrato). Originally it had a Lyre vibrato which was later updated to a stopbar by a subsequent owner. Still, I want this damn guitar. I'm literally sitting here with a book on the history of Les Paul/SG's for reference, so I'm pretty sure that's accurate.

[@colinmcnab6145]

I must admit the sideways vibrola just doesn't look right with the pain job because it covers some of it up.

[@paulsimmons5726]

Jared, this is my second video with you as the host. Fella, you can damn make those guitars talk!

[@jonlennon3348]

You should do a remake of this cream song (sunshine of your love). Your vocals are perfect to do am awesome cover.

[@martinvermilion5207]

great player playing a great guitar...love finger picking...

[@2na-phish]

dude is growing on me.... nice job.

[@barry3045]

Way to go JJN, you rock ! 🤘🏼

[@warrenginmartini]

I'd kill for that guitar!

[@totalcontrolguitar]

That was good . Great playing

[@buddyollie7400]

I like Jared so much more than Phil X. He's so chill, and doesn't act like a weirdo

[@reylopez4050]

Great vid and great playing.

[@angryheb1]

You rock JJN!

[@nahnaw1222]

woulda been sick to see you and a band cover had to cry today at the end there

[@naj8999]

What a feel, JJN! Got me hooked! (Y)

[@tommy2z2z]

Doing a great job sir!

[@riel777]

Nice! I can feel it man! Such nice dynamics :)

[@phynx2006]

That Guitar is so .... yes please

[@eduardoinnamorato8990]

Good job Jared! congrats!

[@MrTikbik2000]

Tubular Performance! 😎🎸👍🏽

[@jamesstmars]

Jared is awesome. Never seen that vibrato system before. Kind of wanted to see it in action lol

[@glennevans5824]

Nice job Jared!!!!

[@heavyisaheavy7726]

Just saw Jared open for UFO / Saxon in Boston. Dude slayed.

[@silveredition33]

This guy is way better than phil x!! Congrats jared!! Keep rocking

[@keithdicataldo250]

awesome

[@wesleybarrilleaux9640]

damn, love your playing man.

[@LPCustom3]

Nice playing! I hate to pop your bubble, but Sunshine of Your Love was recorded using a 1958 Les Paul Custom that Albert Lee now owns, in fact most of Disraeli Gears was recorded with the Custom. Fresh Cream was recorded using a Sunburst LP that Clapton bought from Andy Summers. Drew Berlin owns the Fresh Cream Les Paul.

[@hpodell]

The Fool was a 1964 SG Standard not a 1961 as some people think it was. It also never had the Sideways Vibrola. It originally had the Maestro Vibrola which had the cover taken off leaving the frame which was modified by removing the arm assembly and screwing direct to the body. Defeating the vibrola.

[@aljazhorvat5668]

That dude is f**** awesome!!😃😃😃

[@fredorona1977]

Killed it!!!

[@philipphofheinz9099]

Awesome!

[@MikeGgeetar]

Jared hits the spot. Don't let Eric see this.....

[@BoyAditya]

cool SG ... if only I have couple thousand dollars laying around (TT) btw great demo as always Jared

[@regty82]

It will be mine !!

[@scottiriddellonbass]

awesome!

[@surf247365]

"So Gnarly!" Classic! People bothered by your playing style & skills are just wishing they could play with your tone & skills.

[@moleman1961]

I want that! Yes siree bob!

[@whynotme5926]

Good job-He does not need to try to be Phil-Just be yourself. That would be a mistake-There is only one Phil, And one jimi, and one Eric-Best to be yourself.

[@haydenalyward3803]

2:58. What song is that from can’t get it through my head if it’s Clapton cause i think it is but I could be wrong don’t know the song name tho help me out thanks !

[@kaufenalles6679]

I am not sure...But I think it may be the lick from 'Steppin' Out' during Clapton's Bluesbreakers days ?

[@ThatsBadTV]

Lovin' it, I wish I could afford this lol

[@Brewstew2]

"Everything on this just screams cream." Hmm, now he's quoting my college girlfriend.

[@manelnunes4028]

I want some Jared songs with the band at the end please!

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

I admit my ignorance, what is the song at @03:00 ? I play it all the time but I don't know the title....
