Herb Ellis..........one of the very finest ever jazz guitarists 👌

[@Rider-hh9it]

In 1987 (I think) in Denver Colorado at the Paramount theater Herb Ellis played a concert with jazz guitar great Johnny Smith. After the show my friend and I went to a bar and there was Herb Ellis and Johnny Smith waiting for a table. I introduced myself to Herb and Johnny. They spoke to me in a very uplifting manner and briefly discussed life as a jazz musician. They were both very nice and provided some great advice which I immediately applied to my own aspirations. I also later met Chet Atkins who advised something similar. Basically, play for fun and personal development because the risk of going nowhere with playing is real.

Today more than ever.Remember what songs Herb and Johnny Smith played?

[@Korsaro1]

Grazie Alessio. Questi vecchi video sono importantissimi per capire la tecnica e lo spirito della chitarra Jazz. Io ne ho alcuni di Joe Pass, Jimmy Bruno, Barney Kessel etc… sono VHS che nonostante la tecnica di ripresa video e sonora non fosse perfetta come oggi, rimangono delle pietre miliari per l‘apprendimento, senza fronzoli e acrobatica teoria.

[@OGStazzy]

8:06 at the high strings he plays with his 3 fingers and not all four…. Any reason to that… Does anyone else ?

[@donnlarossa9173]

great guy Herb met him and his beautiful red haired daughter Kerry years ago. He was such a gentlemen and she was sooooooooo HOT!

[@larryyouguessame6078]

Is that a damper at the nut?

[@EltonGoslettGuitar]

Yep, that one was design and made by George van Eps, the great 7 string jazz player.

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

Does it sound flat?

[@OGStazzy]

Yea

[@marccawood]

What's that device over the nut??

[@nicolaifoss6483]

A Van Eps string dampener.

[@marccawood]

@@nicolaifoss6483 Ah! So you get the fretted sound on open strings?

[@gimpyjwilliams]

@@marccawood no its so the open strings dont ring out on the guitar, i have never seen a jazz player use one just rock players when doing tapping

[@sega62s]

@@nicolaifoss6483 i think nowadays shredders use some kind of similar device….herb was ahead of em all ☺️

[@brentmadden789]

A nut clamp

[@dangardiner2011]

My wife is an excellent cellist, and when she hears playing along with b.b. or somebody, she always yells down, "You are out of tune!" How does she know?

[@AceNothing-oe3mi]

She obviously has a great ear and when somebody is out of tune it probably almost makes her cry...

[@saxofonistacr]

Your ear gets trained. A cellist works for many years to become one, and they are all that time dealing with the intonation of every note.

[@robmahoney2181]

Use Headphones. Classical musicians are often highly strung! It’s a tough world full of traps for young and old alike. Mind you, so is the world of Jazz!
