Deadly Shuffle with Jared 1965 Gibson ES-335TD Custom Factory Bigsby

[@MrMahoskins]

Upon Phil's return, we need a Jared/Phil Jam!

[@JJNicholsMusic]

I'd love to!!!

[@eltalrafaavendano]

Miles Hoskins hell Yeah!

[@ToneChaser79]

JJNicholsMusic I just recently discovered your music. Good guitar players come and go, great players inspire people with their talent and passion for the music. I can already tell you are the later and we will be listening to you for decades to come.. Enjoy the journey, you are definitely going places my friend

[@Gloveberg1]

I wonder if Phil is coming back. A couple days ago someone on Twitter asked him "What's happening with Frettedamericana? Will you be back?" and his reply was "That's up in the air right now".

[@cody4335]

YES !!!

[@edrowley1]

I personally am liking Jared James Nichols, thank you & frettedamericana.

[@JJNicholsMusic]

Thanks Ed!!! Having a blast being able to test-drive all these monster axes!!!

[@alenv360]

you should buy this guitar, 2 of you are perfect match !

[@TheBalboaReturnz]

Hell yes! Showing people that the ES-335 can rock like a beast!

[@JJNicholsMusic]

335's RULE!!!!

[@wmfthe5th376]

I'm really digging the episodes with Jared. Such a well-rounded player and informative too... and he lets the guitar talk too without trying to force it into whatever style he's most comfortable with. Give that man a raise!

[@surf247365]

Jared just freaking has all the basses covered from Rock, blues and other classics. Very inspiring.

[@imol3manzz]

I am 100% stealing that bend trick

[@niklas9400]

Actually heard John Mayer doing it a lot before. He often does it when playing Gravity live. Such a neat little trick

[@gadeia102030]

and gilmour even before mayer, and many before gilmour. he's not saying that jared invented it, just it is a cool trick.

[@niklas9400]

Luís Felipe Riccordi and I didn't say Mayer invented it either, he just came to my mind first :)

[@bloodletter3400]

Damn Jared that thing Deserves to be kept in your hands I don't think anyone besides Phil or God himself can rock that beauty the way you can

[@jeffccr3620]

Alex Lifeson could , just saying

[@bloodletter3400]

Jeff Ccr Hence the term God himself lol

[@TylerLL2112]

Jeff Ccr My man.

[@Hammersmashed68]

I knew about and followed Jared's stuff for a little while before he took over for Phil X on this. So stoked he's on here because AS YOU CAN SEE, he kicks major ass. Such a unique player and he's so diverse with what he does. His fingers are guitar picks! Amazing Jared!!! Keep em coming!!!

[@phynx2006]

Liking these episodes guys, Jared brings something a little to the table, Dustin and Dave thank you.

[@brettlac]

Great playing! Jared is a sweetheart of a guy too!

[@cyrfung]

I really enjoy these new demos.

[@ThomasMetal75]

I like that Derek Trucks bend!

[@buddyollie180]

Heeyyy, This cat and Phil should do a video together.... imagine the coolness of that

[@Disco-Terry]

Glad you guys are uploading again.

[@CrazyHenkie777]

Love your playing Jared. It's all in the hands... Looking forward seeing you in Holland soon!

[@Zoso7227]

Congrats on making it Jared!

[@sefton1972]

Awesome again. Nice one Mr Nichols.

[@Cvweare]

Absolutely loving the vibe man.

[@dobby240]

Oh damn that's nice that sound when you turned up was just killer

[@myworstenemy680]

Jared is an outstanding choice to "Phil" in for Mr. X. His playing and vocal style are Perfect for Squeezing the Tone out of these Vintage instruments. Best Guitar Demo Channel on KZbin imo.

[@Ron_Padgett]

Awesome! Jared is cool as hell and a good player!

[@libertydenied]

That intro and outro is brutal! I want it in a song so badly.

[@TheGreenmeeny]

Love this guys touch.

[@horiarizea8258]

love that plink plink sound, so cool

[@eduardoinnamorato8990]

Great job Jared!!

[@unchien2069]

That neck pickup through the super reverb sounded tastyyyyyy

[@CrazyHenkie777]

R Douglas yeah the supet plus a 335 is always a great combo

[@jacobreece1971]

Watching this guy singing and playing makes me think Phil who? Great job man

[@PorchBass]

great Paul Kossoff playing Jared! I suspect you would sound great playing any old guitar.

[@JJNicholsMusic]

Thanks James!!!!

[@adriangonzalez7850]

3:43 jared got caught himself slippin haha Go ahead man!!! Gotta break in the dog bark over the cuss haha

[@gggteam13]

I loved watching Phil X, but this guy is awesome! Love your no pick style approach Jared. Keep on rockin JJN!!

[@johnvrabec9747]

Wish he would have delved into some Alex Lifeson. he used his 335 on most of the early Rush albums. You could hear that tone with JJN and the Marshall at times.

[@TylerLL2112]

John Vrabec Love seeing the Rush fans on these videos.

[@buddyollie180]

Funky music. I like it 👍

[@frankenstrat78]

Jared James Nichols loving your groove man..... Nice replacement frettedamericana.

[@SuperDave21]

Awesome Jared...!

[@Meditech509]

I love my 335, it is my total go to axe. At 6'5 most guitars look like toys on me.

[@maxh_music]

He definitely saw that SRV guitar lesson video where he demonstrates how Clapton would play Hideaway. Nice!

[@vdbdg]

Nice demos. I wanna hear that Page #1 that's in the back there

[@nahnaw1222]

dude! all right now, politician, mother natures son. loved it all

[@Anthony_Giorgio_Guitar]

3:42 wanted to say "fucking awesome" ... lel

[@alfredmumbly]

Jared, I was and still am a huge fan of Phil. Thanks to the exposure that Fretted Americana gave you, you've gained a new fan ;) I want to see you live. When do you play in Paris?

[@johncollier6303]

I've said this before but Jared I fuckin love you dude!!!

[@rkharper]

love phil but that.was.just.frigggin.goooood!!!!! keep him!

[@JJNicholsMusic]

Thanks Rafi!

[@rkharper]

JJNicholsMusic Jared, just watched your interview with the Captn, dayum, that was inspirational! after that, played my partscaster for an hour pick-less! I can dig it! keepin an eye on you for sure! greetings from switzerland!

[@tedmen1123]

Every video just keeps getting better. Tones too!! That guitar is so fat and fuzzy sounding, but still clear. When I close my eyes I don't really hear a 335. Very unique sounding one you got there. Keep up the awesome work!!!

[@SCtrojan2k]

I loved Phil X but Jared can jam! Loving the new vids. That 335 sounds great.

[@aum3.146]

I never like thrash on a great vintage guitar. Their Sonic horizon and beautiful nuances are greater than that.

[@kilowat]

Thumb up for the BLS t-shirt :)

[@GuitarStu]

This guitar sounds like the perfect guitar for Jared!

[@sam_elvsen]

Awesome video! Thx

[@hugobaudu2683]

you mate totally rocked the shit out of this beauty!!

[@pravabe6602]

Phil and Jared should jam some time on the channel

[@TylerLL2112]

Jared, I'm a pretty big Phil fan and didn't think anyone could fit here but you're incredible and I enjoy watching these videos as much as when Phil did them. I know you hear it all the time (like Phil did with his belt buckle) but are those buttons a concern? Anyway, keep up the fantastic job man. I think these old semi hollows are some of the best rock tones. My favorite guitarist Alex Lifeson used a few semi hollows and it's some of my favorite driven tones. I have a PRS HBII and a 339 I think because I love the sound. Almost like the guitar is breathing and speaking not just the pickups. I'm rambling, great job JJN and Fretted Americana and team.

[@alchemyguitars]

7:10 puts E string back on bridge smooth

[@kevinrichardson14]

to me jared seems like he puts more soul and feel in his playing no knock to phil but Jared's playing has got the feel...kudos!!!

[@johnzenger7880]

Those pickups are hotter than Daquans mixtape.

[@bofuscrapshaw]

THANK YOU JARED!!!

[@mookytc]

Love the finger picking style. I play that way (it feel so natural to do so) as well but plugged in a plectrum still sounds better. That can be frustrating. Your style - tone sounds so good. Anyhow great video!

[@SoftButReady]

Can we keep him!?

[@barrygathercole]

i like this bloke

[@johnzenger7880]

So what if I'm watching yet again...

[@irongreek7722]

That's a mean guitar

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

You killed it JJN. Now I love you, and I know those c*nts are going to take you away and I'll be sad.;-)

[@henriquerossidigioiamanhae5161]

Wich song does Jared play at 6:44? Nice bend trick, by the way! I'll try to work on it, my SG waits!

[@buddyollie180]

Henrique Rossi Di Gioia Manhães Politician, by Cream:)

[@eliasvalgeirsson5610]

Politician by Cream.

[@57Strat777]

I am loving Jared's playing and watching his videos. But I can't help but wonder what those metal vest buttons are doing to the back of those vintage guitars.

[@frettedamericana]

the guitars are fine and completely unharmed

[@allstopblue5717]

57Strat777 have you ever played a guitar while wearing a belt? Or shirt with buttons? Did it instantly scratch and ruin the guitar 10 minutes later? Cmon

[@TylerLL2112]

frettedamericana Lies.

[@chrishorton615]

I believe the TD stands for Tobbaco Burst Deluxe (Deluxe for the Bigsby)

[@MaxwellHallwachs]

I feel like JJN is just as crazy and extroverted as Phil, but he's dialing it back in front of the cameras. Maybe in the future JJN will let loose and scream at the camera the way Phil does.

[@tipetu]

I like this guy better than Phil X. He is more calm and not so hyperactive. Phil X is a fantastic player but gets distracted constantly.

[@FallaciousCrane]

That sort of bend within a bend, is there a specific technique name for that? Amazing playing, as usual!

[@PieIX]

Hi Jared. I have been seeing more players lately using their thumb like you do.I was wondering about your thumb lol! Are you hitting the strings with a callous you have built up on your thumb or have you grown your thumb nail at the edge to use of plucking?

[@bigb5932]

How much would the 1967 version of this guitar go for?

[@Meditech509]

When someone as talented as Jared plays and makes a living being a total badass with his fingers. How would you calculate the amount of insurance needed on those magic fingers? Or is he like the rest of us lackeys with crappy St. Industrial.

[@frantisca]

Hey Jared: like your style man !! What did the 64' neck profile have in particular, compared to other ones ? \m/

[@user-up1us9jf1o]

So as a general guide that is borderline useless in the real world where things were made by individuals by hand the mid to later part of the 50's had the bigger necks you would associate with a stereotypical les paul of that time evolving slightly over time hence the "holy grail" '59 profile. Around early-mid 60 the necks lost some depth. 1961-1963ish were the very thin necks you would typically associate with the first few SG's. '64-'65ish the necks got some meat/depth back. This is why some people (such as ed King/mick Taylor) prefer sg's/335 from this time period instead of the very early 60's ones. All of the above had 1 11/16" nut width. Late '65 early '66ish the nut width began to change into 1 9/16"-1 5/8". All that being said it's hard to generalize, they didn't go in the factory on New Year's Day and throw away parts and have dealers send guitars back. As an interesting side note I did have a chance to play a '53 les paul that had a neck that was not a "baseball" bat with a slight V most would associate with fenders. Other than that I have no experience with electric Gibson necks before 1956.

[@frantisca]

Thank you "T", whoever you are, for this detailed response :) I am not at ease with slim tapers, nor with baseball bats. I favor a reasonable nut width and a rounded back profile neck. I play a few guitars that have these characteristics, looks like this 335 has it all ! Cheers \m/

[@user-up1us9jf1o]

Anytime man. I'm just a fanboy/player like everyone else. Outside old Gibsons I don't know much in the vintage world. If your looking to pick up something like that an sg or 345 that's been refinished or had a pickup rewound isn't outrageously expensive as far as the vintage world is concerned. The only reason I know about the '64 specifically is because my pops has a 335/sg/firebird 3 all from that year. He is convinced the same guy made the necks on the ones he has. He noticed in the early 70's that the new guitars weren't the same as the ones even from as little as 5-10 years before. I guess once the Beatles and the Stones went on Ed Sullivan demand skyrocketed and corporate America got involved and did their best to make a dollar and ruin a craft. He is still in touch with the drummer in his old high school band. They said the day he bought the sg they all told him he was an idiot because he could have gotten a new one for $50 less.

[@frantisca]

"the day he bought the sg they all told him he was an idiot because he could have gotten a new one for $50 less." ha ha ! I guess it's worth 3x as much now :-)) I feel a guitar has to be "played in" before it can give its full potential. I always favored pre-owned ones. One has to be selective, but if you pick the right one... \m/

[@user-up1us9jf1o]

Honestly I don't think the value matters. Those are his only guitars these days and he plays all 3 regularly. I see them staying in the family for quite some time.

[@christianelnegaard5871]

what beatles song was he playing?

[@edrowley1]

Mother natures son and Day tripper.

[@actionarnie78]

Day Tripper

[@LOTR22090able]

and a snippet of Yer Blues

[@edrowley1]

Good catch, I missed it on the first pass! :)

[@StevieBGoode]

8:42 What is that

[@buddyollie180]

Hey, this cat uses his fingers instead​ of a pick, so do I👍😁

[@robertm8552]

606 Studios? Like the Foo Fighters studio?

[@judemisura4323]

Robert Maglicco yes

[@Grid21]

What happened to Phil-X????

[@brettlac]

I too do the "bend within a bend". Although I sorta stole it from Steve Lukather.

[@gibbanz22]

OH MY GOD SOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAD!

[@dukeabbott1145]

What Beatles song is that

[@eleintblood]

Mother Nature's Son

[@skullduggery3377]

he makes good use of no pick but i feel as if he would be awesomer WITH one.

[@JJNicholsMusic]

I used to rock a pick!! Maybe I'll bust one out on the next videos!!

[@skullduggery3377]

rock on, long gone daddy-o!

[@notyurrealdad8743]

HEEEY its Jared a fine phine Phil replacement

[@ObiTrev]

WANGO TANGO!

[@dejiita]

[@buddyollie180]

Scott Gallacher They did

[@guitarsorrow]

its a bendception

[@cutthecan]

jared is cool but i miss phil hes

[@saucysimpson259]

BRING BACK PHIL X

[@bofuscrapshaw]

Jared seems to ge WAY more excited about the guitars than Phil. Phil makes more of an ass out of himself

[@spencerfristad2407]

I can’t stand his playing his vibrato his style there’s just something about it but I do respect as a guitar tho I like Phil x better when he used to do this

[@arnolddealiii4259]

If you ever have the chance to play a 335 in a band setting listen and see how much fatter you sound compared to the other guitarist playing a Les Paul! Huge and fat! The LP will sound like a Fender in comparison!

[@ThePAF23]

Jared have so much idiosyncrasy - character in his playing who can't fitted to do reviews!He don't leave you to hear the instrument or the amp.Great player, "but..."For reviews i prefer Phil X.
