Jedd in the shed - Episode 53 Jeff Tweedy and Rodney Crowell recording

The guitar part from “Everything at once” Rodney Crowell, The Chicago Sessions.

[@GIBKEL]

To have seen Jeff playing his solo shows at his wife’s bar the Lounge Axe in Chicago was something else. It felt like a special time in musical history and I got to see him do this a few times. He was so raw in the 90’s. I’m glad he made it through but it was something to hear and witness. Cool guitar part Jedd!

[@briano.1503]

Wilco has changed my guitar playing. Thank you very much! ✌💀👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🇺🇸🌹🇺🇸❤

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Mine too! Cheers

[@cliftongolden2]

Love that guitar wish I had one.

[@scrathness]

Jedd, saw you last night with Rodney. Your playing was phenomenal ( as was the fiddle/violinist guy whose name I don’t know yet but will) I’ve been a guitar player for a long time ( 50 years) and your solos were exactly like I would want to hear. The combination of bluegrass licks with rock licks, double stop climbs, and one cascading lick that blew me away. And we loved you solo and will be buying a CD today. And you as a solo artist was perfect. Your guitar sounded amazing ( what pick up is in the Martin?) and your voice was beautiful. And your stage banter was very entertaining. I would have actually liked to hear more talking. 😂 What was the name of the wonderful song you did for your wife (if you read this)? And Rodney was better than I’ve ever seen him. Great show. Longtime fan ( like 1st Emmy album though everything since then. ) Yeah I’ll stop. I’m gonna binge on these. Thank you!!

[@gfunkk]

Damn Jedd, really love hearing you with that bender.

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Right on! Thank you!!

[@fozdiv]

Thanks Jedd :) just listened to the studio version. (So did all my neighbours) freakin love that stuff 👍

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Oh cool thanks mate! Such a fun record to make!

[@tbluesboye]

Way cool Jedd! Thanks for sharing! Love the bender stuff!

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

You bet! More to come

[@larsarnelana]

Beautiful!

[@VictorRochaGaming]

I do have a b-bender!! Thanks for the lesson.

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Right on!

[@VictorRochaGaming]

1999 Fender Custom Shop Clarence White tele. Incredible bird's eye maple neck. Bought it new in 2002. Had to take lessons from Will Ray of The Hellecasters to learn how to use it. I still suck but it's a life goal. @@JeddHughesOfficial

[@ResponseAudio]

Mercy! Great playing! Cool story.

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Cheers!!

[@davemassie3726]

Nice Jedd. That Tele plugged into a Princeton Reverb = God Tone! Thanks for sharing brother.

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thanks so much man!

[@mass_of_rest]

great tune and wonderful B-bender solo

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thanks so much!

[@bobdekett]

That solo is insanely cool - the double tracking really brought it out, but I'm sure it would sound just as good live cranked up - well done Jedd:)

[@jipes]

Congrats on this nice achievement I suppose it is very precious tto your heart and I'm really happy for you

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thanks so much.

[@duncanfrere2656]

That's some clear, clean, fat tone, right there! Gorgeous!

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thank you mate!

[@pertrot]

You’re the first one i’ve heard adding vibrato on the bended string while using b-bender, beautiful man!

[@jacobmcguffie]

The first thing I noticed too! So freaking cool. Almost masks the fact that it is a b-bender!

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

You are the first one to pick up on that. It helps the sustain I think? appreciate it man

[@THEItchybruddah]

LOVELY touch and super wise choices. Thanks bunches for sharing. (Forrest install?)

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thanks so much! Its a Parsons bender, long throw, from Covid days

[@PastaPatate]

“Loving you…” is a very nice song Jebb, congrats

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thanks! Written with Rodney and Sarah Buxton. Two of my favorite people ;)

[@davidpepper442]

Hey Jedd, I'm also a huge Wilco/Jeff fan. I really think Jeff is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. I've watched every video I could find showing The Wilco Loft...the place just looks like heaven. Have you read the books How to Write One Song and Let's Go So We Can Get Back? Great reading if you haven't gotten to them yet. I listened to the track and it's beautiful...you should be proud!

[@KorbenDenver]

Both of those books are fantastic. I've listened to both multiple times....gotta love a commute ha ha.

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

I totally agree. Read both of those and they are brilliant. In fact Let’s go there so we can get back inspired a whole batch of songs Im thinking about putting out next year as a pseudo acoustic record. Thanks for tuning in mate

[@jonnybeck6723]

You're getting such a nice tone...

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thank you!

[@Stevewatson3]

Man those bends at the start pull me in like a siren song ❤stunning player.

[@gtr1952]

Very cool! That Tele sounds great!! I'll check out Rodney's record for sure. I haven't heard Sarah's name mentioned in a long time. Last time I saw her was Uncle Buk's first live show for KZbin. Her channel has ~a dozen tunes with just you and her on stage someplace. I put that on rotation when I'm working sometimes. Good to see you mate, hope all's well!! --gary

[@richabolistic]

Beautiful everything. In Wilco’s 1999 documentary Jeff called the loft his dreamworld. Perfectly put. So cool you got to hang in there and work there. Jeff and Rodney. Both legends. Love them both. Dream world indeed. Did any of Jeff’s kids show up? Spencer is a great drummer as well. I saw him play in “Tweedy” at Newport Folk Fest as a teenager.

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Yes! Spencer played on a couple tracks. Such an amazing space. Bucket list for me for sure.

[@gregmock6808]

Now I really want to try a B bender! Never tried one before but what a cool element to have on a tele

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Right on man! I endorse the adventure for you! haha

[@jamesmaxwell5415]

Beautiful Playing, Jedd!

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thank you!

[@russellpowell5767]

There is a ghost solo on Let it Be-on some mixes anyway, and yes it’s cool

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Cool!

[@Atttuner]

I don’t get the whole Wilco vibe it ain’t my bag but your playing is sublime. Well done

[@Grant_Ferstat]

It's a pretty extensive catalogue. I reckon' I could find something for ya 🙂

[@DaveElke]

Try the album Sky Blue Sky..

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Right on man, thank you and thanks for tuning in.

[@heres_johnny9151]

Love it Jedd, fantastic playing I am going to look for that song. Thinking maybe you were talking about a John Hiatt song called Lipstick Sunset, which has Sonny on it, really beautiful work on that track.

[@ozbluesman]

Sorry to be pedantic, but it was Ry Cooder who played that stunning solo.

[@mikecouvillon2393]

Are you touring this Fall? Solo or support gigs, It would be great to catch you. Many thanks!!!

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Yes! Will be posting to facebook this week. Heading to TX with Rodney Crowell for this weekends shows, more to come

[@txurbanbunny]

Morning Jedd!

[@dancher7640]

Hey Jedd discovered you through recordings/videos with Emmylou and Rodney…now the WILCO association. “Lofty” achievement indeed and you’ve earned your place alongside these giants of real music. Question: I have a 1972 Telecaster with original “tiny” frets After nearly 50 years I’m finally going to replace them. What is your preferred fret wire on your tele’s?

[@dancher7640]

Bought Chicago Sessions on release…❤

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Thank you so much. That’s really cool of you to say. I like the fret size one down from 6105. A little taller and skinnier than those and dressed down once. That’s where I like em!

[@dancher7640]

Thanks Jedd! I'm on it!

[@theoloutlaw]

Jedd, when you gonna put out some new music to buy?

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Its coming really soon!!

[@benneal8059]

Hi Jed. Love your playing and your vibe of becoming 'you' and having your own voice on guitar. Have you met or played with Nel's ever? Do you like what he does and how do you feel about the space between classic 'Nashville' chops, and more experimental ways of expressing oneself?

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Firstly thankyou for the kind words mate. I love Nels. I’ve always leaned in both directions when It comes to fundamental traditional tone and approach and experimental textures and attitudes. For example I love Johnny Greenwood every bit as much as Albert Lee. Its what I love about the guitar. No rules. Cheers man

[@Grant_Ferstat]

You do remember I asked you to do this months ago right? 🙂

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Yes. Full credit to you. Im going to have start paying you royalties on all your input! haha

[@Grant_Ferstat]

@@JeddHughesOfficial ha not at all but it was cool to see it.

[@onewiththings]

I can see that you would be a perfect guest picker for them, or did they try to make you permanent???

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

That would be another lofty dream come true, haha

[@flatwound5154]

What is the guitar?

[@JeddHughesOfficial]

Its my Parts Tele I put together during Covid, my main tele now. cheers!
