ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE | Klein Guitar | Bill Frisell setup

[@MelodicDreamers]

FYI, during the time Bill played the Klein he mostly used the bridge pickup with the tone rolled off a little. He changed the original pickup out for the Seymour Duncan SH-4 by Jeff Beck. From Bill, "So, in the mid 80s I put the SG away. I took the Jeff Beck pickup out of it and put it into a Klein guitar that I played for a long time."

Thanks for the information 🙏. In the video I use the bridge pickup with the tones attenuated, which provides a very particular sound at low frequencies. At the bridge is an HB Seymor Duncan Antiquity

@@francescolandi70 Your'e welcome. I don't know if you are actually going for the actual Bill tone from the early 90's, but it seems a little darker than his tone. Great playing though. I like to use this as a reference. Around 8:20 mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/noGud3uurbigqs0

@MelodicDreamers Real! I close the tone a little more than Bill for personal taste. if I open it more the sound is that of Frisell when he used Klein 😉 However you are absolutely right, good ear! 🙌🏻

@@francescolandi70 I like the attitude; much better to be guided by your own ear than simply try to emulate the exact sound of another player, even a tone master like Frisell, who I have no doubt would approve of the decision to be yourself instead of trying to emulate him too closely.

@@Gregorypeckory Correct, Gregory! Also because the sound of a genius like Frisell is in his hands and in his head... This is demonstrated by the fact that whatever guitar he plays, in the end Bill always sounds like... Bill! 😉
