Licks, Tips and Tricks - LTT3

[@tomquayleguitar]

Extraordinary playing, Simon! I am in awe and hugely inspired.

[@MrSpock]

And that is saying something!

[@PPIMV]

Wow - thanks so much Tom! - That really means a lot to me coming from you (I am not worthy)!

[@edwardjons8684]

You play the way you speak: with gentle intelligence. I’m enjoying these tips videos as much as your pedal work. Thank you.

[@PPIMV]

Edward - thanks very much! As I grow older I find myself observing a similar thing about a lot of players - their playing mimmicks their character. Sometimes it's less obvious of course, but hopefully in our good moments this comes through, which is a good thing because it means more of the players subconscious is being accessed....which is what we want - the real person....anyway I very mush appreciate your kind words!

[@eel3425]

Great job Simon, you’ve hit the trifecta: player, builder, and teacher! I don’t think anybody else can do all three so well :) Really impressive to go thru inversions and voiceleading that extensively and succinctly in a way that can be practically applied right away!

[@PPIMV]

Thats very kind of you....I am actually working on all those areas - just like everyone else!

[@Esokyotoo]

I miss the LTT series

[@PPIMV]

Me too! Hope to do more when I get time...

[@GS-uy4xo]

Along with the playing the intonation is superb, so difficult to grab these shapes all over the neck and not bend out of tune. So many aspects of mastery on display. And thank you for access to the best sounding devices ever made, worth every penny!

[@DaveSanguinet]

Fantastic playing Simon!

[@andrewkratz226]

Your tech tips are super informative and innovative, but man, i love just listening to you play. So good. Thanks for sharing.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Andrew - much appreciated!

[@Cuardaitheoirfirinne]

Goodness gracious the playing, musicality, and tone are absolutely mesmerising. Thanks for the lesson and genius. It would be good to know which of your pedals you were using in this one. Your strat tones are some of the best I have heard in a very long time.

[@SimonHosford]

Unreal brother.. man, so amazing hearing you play all the funk at the end.. great phrasing, interesting lines and note choices, and killer pocket! You da man 🤘

[@LISABEGG1]

Best guitar teacher I ever had..Still use his notes...Im a Bass player but he taught me so much..Bar none take a lesson off Simon..It will change your life!!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks so much Rob - hope you are well!

[@axedoc2010]

My God, what stunning playing! Thank you for these videos Simon - you're an inspiration!

[@niloben659]

Great lesson, and man what an unbelievable player you are, top drawer.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks - much appreciated!

[@Rockbeareguitars]

You’re a terrific musician, player and communicator. Really enjoyed and learned much from this video. Please keep them coming.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks very much! Will make more of these LTT videos!

[@Rockbeareguitars]

@@PPIMV You’re v welcome. They are such a welcome (and mature) contrast to the knockabout stuff we post at The Bob & Ramon Show.

[@BenEdwards984]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Simon. These videos - and your playing in general - are absolute gold!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Ben - much appreciated. I'm trying to find time to do some more...

[@JeffMcErlain]

Fantastic as always Simon.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks so much Jeff!

[@jcugnoni]

Thanks for those beautiful chord melodies in the intro. Really inspiring.

[@PPIMV]

[@PPIMV]

Thanks David - hope all is well!

[@kellendugan1828]

[@PPIMV]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelmosley912]

Great stuff!

[@PPIMV]

Glad you liked it Michael - appreciate your positive feedback!

[@ClintTucker]

I'm so inspired by your playing and tone Simon!!! It would be so great to train with you! Have a blessed day!!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks very much Clint!

[@mattybradbury]

Amazing playing in the intro 👍

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Matthew!

[@thilliersebastien4221]

Hello Simon Jarrett, What sound and what playing, magnificent!!!! This is the sound I'm looking for but it's difficult to achieve! Is it possible to have some advice regarding the reverb, overdrive, etc. settings? Thanls

[@damienthomasmusic]

Hi Simon wanted to know do you give zoom lessons thank you ? Massive fan

[@alguitarchristie]

I use a boost on positions 2 and 4 which seems to even things out!

[@PPIMV]

Yes, a very sensible option of course...

[@liontone]

Loved the Lenny Breau/Ted Greene bit at 14:46. Were you fortunate enough to meet either one of them? I hear Ted in some of your chord choices. Sounds like you may have crossed paths with them at some point:) Excellent playing.

[@PPIMV]

No I'm afraid not - love them both though...thanks for the positive feedback!

[@liontone]

@@PPIMV 👍👍

[@peterverhoeven2173]

Wonderful video! Really keen to try the Super Switch wiring, makes so much sense to me, always having struggled with getting the amp settings to work across all the pickup combination selections. Is there a schematic online of this wiring (no tone controls on middle 3 positions, and 1 tone each for the bridge and neck positions)?

[@peterverhoeven2173]

DOH! in the description :)

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Peter - just click on the description under the video - I posted a couple of schematics...

[@TheBelltowertrio]

Beautiful playing man... so, do you have the same tone pot connected to both the neck and bridge? I am interested in doing this where I have that second tone pot connected to the bridge for the old "set it and forget it" bridge tone. I am wonder if I can follow that diagram you posted for no tone in position 2,3, and 4 but with the use of two separate tone pots.. one for the neck and the other for the bridge. Thanks for the info in advance!!

[@PPIMV]

Sure, that's possible. I think you'll need a super switch to do it...

[@leefradkin9077]

Mary, Mother of God; so good, so useful.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

Like dan steinhardt said: if there were one player i could play most like…hey simon-are u using that ox box behind you? If so are u using any of the effects or just using it to get your amp into that daw and using your pedals for effects?

[@PPIMV]

The Ox box is actually not being used - I am miking with a Sure SM57 on one amp and a Royer R121 on the other amp. No effects or EQ added after the fact - all effects from pedals.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

@@PPIMV i see i just got one and am trying to find its sweet spots…as good as it is, it still sounds processed. But u can dial it in with patience…

[@OneMomentFromForever]

Great tip. Is it fair to say having both a neck and middle tone in a normal wiring scheme loads down position 4 more than 1 tone on the neck (ie two pots in parallel). Would that sound different to having the neck and middle share a tone control? I lower my middle down all the way, I don’t use it on its own and that makes it a hair brighter I struggled to get the position 2 sound I wanted so I swapped the wires on the switch, now position 2 is bridge and neck Tele sound (and position 3 is the neck but you get use to it)

[@PPIMV]

Yes, two tones will be a touch darker than one tone...which is a touch darker than no tone control of course. The Tele mod is a nice one too of course...can get this and the no tone in positions 2 and 4 with a super switch...

[@bluebirdamplification3026]

Lovely playing and great tips Simon👍. Really like the switching mods. One thing though, is it me or are both the diagrams you linked to the same? They look identical to me, or is a link issue?👍

[@PPIMV]

My pleasure...thanks for tuning in! Regarding the links - the second one has a wire removed from pin 3 to in 5 of one of the poles (on the right). However, the description of which pickups have or don't have tone controls was not changed! Thanks for pointing that out...I'll edit it later when I get a chance.

[@AWESOME295]

You know about Alip ba ta sir?Alip is a very talented finger style guitarist on KZbin)}°°°°°°

[@PPIMV]

No I don't....will have to check him out....
