SHORE THING (surf with a Jazzmaster and Telecaster)

[@andersonc.1507]

This song is excellent! Greetings from Brazil!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Thank you!

[@derekbrou]

This is legitimately awesome, especially when you get to the telecaster parts you emulate that sound perfectly while creating a very memorable and original hook. My favorite part is when you hit that deeper sour note (in a good way) at 1:57 and then go into that rolling kind of thing. Great title too!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Glad you liked the video! My wife is a really good punster, so I will have to credit her for the title. :)

[@jazzydog]

Why people put a thumb down on this? Great playing as always my friend. Very good feel & vibe & the monkey rolled in good time!.

You are in vain, I really liked it, but there is a very small percentage of the listeners who like the sound of instruments.

[@davewoodley3716]

It's good to hear an original surf instrumental!

Thanks!

Late to the party here but the winner here is the amazing playing, regardless of which guitar. Loved it.

Great playing Sir. Sounds beautiful.The 60’s FSR Squier Jazzmaster has won you over.

Great guitars and fantastic ability sir. I like the color scheme and that both instruments contribute to the sound. Well done all around.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Thanks! I'm a sucker for those two colors. I think one is "Surf Green" and the other "Seafoam Green"

[@martyneff4008]

I LOVE this....... I just bought a Classic Vibe Jazzmaster 8 days ago, great tone😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

It's a terrific guitar, even if it was twice the price.

[@martyneff4008]

It got thumbs up at our rehearsal. we get together every other Wednesday just to keep our chops up so when everything opens back up we're going to be ready to book our surf band again

[@jsurfinreverbchristmassurf3560]

Excellent fabulous. Scenes of surf good tune. A few more like this and you'll be going to the surf conventions. Seafoam green is the color for others that asked. My Cheapo strat is that color. Ocean turquoise is my other choice guitar color.

[@jeromemurphy2572]

Surprised how the Tele held its own in this genre.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Jerome Murphy I think Teles can do just about anything. 😀

[@spottedsaint957]

Telecasters are perfect for the surf rock genre ,although the purists don't seem to think so, but I think that it's got more to do with the absence of a "wiggle stick" than the tone. The Telecasters are real chameleons in the guitar world. They've been used in virtually every genre of music and they do it well. My wife bought me mine and I've done some mods to it and I prefer it to the Strat I used to have because it feels more natural to me because of my playing style. I've never tried out a Jazzmaster or a Jaguar though. Eventually I might...

Loving the Tele in this, buying my own very soon and was hoping to get some good surf sounds out of it.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

You can play a lot of genres on a Tele!

[@joshualawn8721]

A telecaster with a tremolo vibrato tale piece would be cool.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

I used to have a Squier Cabronita Telecaster with a Bigsby. Sadly, I sold it!

[@benjaminhawthorne1969]

The Telecaster and the Jazzmaster. My 2 favorite guitars in the whole world! How am I going to decide? I've been in the hospital/ rehab for the past 3 years and my sister has given away or sold everything I owned including a Fender Blues Deluxe tweed amp and an American Telecaster HS in gorgeous chrome red. How to decide? I've decided I am not deciding life is short. I am buying them both!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

A perfect combination to get back in the game!

[@mitchconnerandsometimesjlotoo]

Dude, I assumed that was a ventures tune.

[@jsurfinreverbchristmassurf3560]

Like Surfer Joe's sparkly Blues and different colors.Dave.Wronski also has great color guitars he's probably still works at Fender..in. custom shop set ups.b4.delivery.

[@carlosjuarezgalvan4880]

i really love it uwu great video

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Thank you! 😄

[@ВладимирИльин-о4к]

My ear tells me that both guitars have a very bright sound - this is the result of the selection of guitars by David. The body has a little more percussion in the structure of the sound, and sounds brighter at light overdrive. Jazzmaster sounds a little more blurry, but as far as I know, this is a very bright and authentic instrument, and it should sound that way. Strict equality of two magnificent specimens. Well, of course, David also plays exactly and filigree like a perfectionist. Owns two diamonds.))

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Yes, both guitars are very bright - sometimes too bright. They also sound very different from each other! Thank you for the kind words!

[@ВладимирИльин-о4к]

@@anotherheadlessdemo Excessive brightness of the guitar sound can be reduced by using another guitar cable, and moving the microphone in front of the speaker, and even taking it out of the traditional pickup position, to degrade the positive directivity properties of the frequency response. You can use the top corner of the recording room, there are many positions with different comb filter modes. These are unconventional methods of correction. But you are a performer, and you can use different sounding techniques and plectrum materials. As my friend says: you can get any sound from a good sound, even by changing the position of the combo amplifier and the modes of operation of the speaker head, but not vice versa ... :-)

[@georgefromgreece4119]

​@@ВладимирИльин-о4кexcellent observations

[@MatthewHyatt]

Awesome, dude! We need a true surf rock revival. Also. Where did you get the anodized pickguard?

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Matthew Hyatt The pickguard came with the guitar. The guitar was a special run only available in Europe and UK. There are lots of surf bands out there - I just hope we can all keep it together until we can start playing out again!

[@MatthewHyatt]

David Niles agreed! It’s tougher to find where I’m at; Kentucky. But we have a couple surf punk bands. Would love to just have a big surf festival. Wish I’d have seen that limited run. It’s a sharp guitar.

Hi David. I love your videos, could you help a fellow young broke college dude? I finally got the guts to buy a guitar, I’d love to play these surf rock, jazz, funky vibes chords. I don’t know much about guitars. What guitar do you think I should buy? Fender Squier? Stratocaster? Jazzmaster? I don’t have that much money to spend but I want to get something solid. Thanks!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Squier guitars are very good for the money. You can pick them up used for a more affordable price as well. If you want to play surf, get a guitar with a whammy bar (most Strats and Jazzmasters come with them). For a while now, I've been enamored with Jazzmasters. Very versatile. What's your budget?

[@joaobottazzini9111]

@@anotherheadlessdemo Around $400. Is that good enough for a guitar and an amp?

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Yes. You can get a Squier Affinity Stratocaster for $229 and a Fender Champion 20 amp for $130. Both are good if you are just starting out. If you can find them used, they would be a bit less $.

I had to replace the pickup switch, other than that it's been fun and it's been my go to guitar for a while now.

[@jsurfinreverbchristmassurf3560]

Apologize for the name of this chat name. Don't know how to change it and it's difficult I guess. Want a more surf related name. A more light-hearted name.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

There’s a way to do that in your profile. I used to be “Another Headless Demo” and I changed it to my own name. 😀

[@josephmatlockjr7005]

This is kind of funny to me, because I'm looking to replace my Strat which was destroyed in a flood. People keep suggesting I get a Tele, but I'm thinking Jazzmaster. I want to cook up a surf band. I can only afford one cheaper guitar right now. If I could do two, Tele would be one of them for sure. However, with only one, I don't see how I can do surf without a whammy bar. And, in any case, I don't want to get one that needs a bunch of repairs and adjustments right out of the box.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

The J Mascis was really good right out of the box. I love mine. The CV Jazzmaster not so much. The nut still needs work. The pickup switch needed to be replaced within 2 weeks of purchase. It really requires a neck shim as well. Ugh, too many problems.

[@josephmatlockjr7005]

@@anotherheadlessdemo Thanks for the reply! I grew up with bands like The Ventures, and I'm over 50 now. A hot tip like that is handy for folks trying to get back into guitar.

[@dennisszejman6390]

Hi Joseph, I was always a strat person and recently bought a telecaster. You won't be dissapointed, you can do anything with them. The telecaster has wonderful tones and is very basic. Best investment I made. Good luck.

[@spottedsaint957]

Dick Dale's Strat didn't have a "wiggle stick" and the Telecaster is a great option to a Stratocaster. They're very versatile instruments and although they don't have the built in tremolo/vibrato system it's not hard to install one later down the road. Telecasters have awesome tone and they've been used in virtually every genre of music, which includes punk rock, alternative, blues, rockabilly, jazz, surf, and yes even heavy metal guys use them. Stratocasters , Jazzmasters and Jaguars are cool, but IMHO the Telecaster is THE guitar to have if you could only have one, because of it's versatility.

[@pbrewsky]

Very nice song! Did you mic the Katana or use the REC OUT?

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Thanks! I used the USB out. I think it sounds pretty good.

[@pbrewsky]

@@anotherheadlessdemo I wouldn't tell. Most people wouldn't. I'm so fed up with guitar gear cork sniffery. As long as the playing is good, nobody cares if it's played through a $2000 boutique tube amp or a plugin. You demonstrated how much one can achieve with minimal gear.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Totally agree. I sold my vintage Vibrolux Reverb a couple of years ago and I have a '65 Bassman I've never actually gigged with. The Katana is versatile and sounds good at a fraction of the weight and no one is going to really notice a difference!

[@pbrewsky]

@@anotherheadlessdemo I'm just curious, how did you manage to get a strong enough signal from the USB out? I tried to record my Katana, but the signal was just too faint.

[@mrmikev1]

Hi David on the Katana setting is it just spring reverb? Is there delay too?

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

All the effects were from GarageBand - spring reverb, PlatinumVerb and a little stereo delay.

I wish I could. I've always played by ear and have never used tabs or written them out. This is such a simple song that learning it by ear should be easy, right?

[@deanarberman2985]

how do you get the tele to sound like that

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

I just plug it in! Nothing special really. I'm using a Joyo American Sound Pedal which sounds like a Fender amplifier.
