Killer playing, and that LP Junior sounds fantastic!

Thanks!!!

I saw the title and was thinking maybe later... it's so hard to get the nuance of JJ Cale. Such a unique musician... but oh no... just brought the big ol' xmas balls out front ....with a pumpin jam. Love it. Better than a cup of joe.

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Yeah… didn’t really go with the understated vibe on this one😉 Sometimes you gotta let the big dog eat.

[@alexgeddes6245]

With all due respect, revisiting Garcia's version(s) may be very useful and instructive. You can find Jerry and Merl versions from late '72, (Merl Album Fire Up) '73, 74, 75+ (Strat/Twin) --> to pinnacle Jerry versions during spring 1980 tour (Tiger w Dual Sounds/MesaBoogie MkII). Keene College recording captured the rare A.M.--> Eleanor Rigby--> After Midnight. One of my favorite sections is the 5-8min jam into Rigby. It might be the last most funky, jazzy, bluesy jam Garcia did. He captures Cales' offbeat laid back, loping, kinda Levon Helm vibe, and torches every lick Clapton came up with... all in the first few minutes of the 16minute song. No one can do what Jerry did there, but he could play anything, melodically, by anyone. Would love you to revisit After Midnight w Jerry in mind, esp that jam, i think youll find a new frontier. Thanks for all you do.

Amp settings? Pedals? Thanks

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

It’s my Kemper profiler. Victory Earl amp is what’s profiled.

Sounds awesome. What amp, pedals etc are you running through here?

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Kemper (Victory Earl profile)

[@charlesgarabo479]

Tone reminds me of Robin Trower sans Univibe/strat

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Love Trower! Thanks for the kind words… I’m hearing Billy Gibbons here
