Fantastic post Trespass!!!

Really nice variety of instruments.

Apophis · 01-30-2008, 05:44 AM

Awesome post

Always nice to see extended range and 7-string in another concept then mindless riffing or chugging.

Ooo, I just have to add this:

Luan · 01-30-2008, 04:42 PM

holy shit, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Trespass · 01-31-2008, 10:59 AM

Desecrated, the video code was cutoff

Also, Robert Conti on a 8:

Thank you all for watching

----
Also new addition above, Jimmy Bruno on 7.

(For those too lazy to find it above, YouTube - Jimmy Bruno)

Phenomonal (though I think he's been posted here before, regardless he's here to stay).

Edit: Upon comparing the video code, this was actually what Desecrated posted above

, but the code was missing a a character

A bit late, but this is a great post.

Nice to hear these guys, too. A nice break from the Pizzarelli duo I'm used to mentioning whenever someone asks me about jazz on 7+ string guitars. Charlie Hunter rules. Saw him a few years ago in the Knitting Factory in NYC. Cool guy to chat with after shows.

ElRay · 02-18-2008, 12:32 PM

Have you seen how Michael Copolla's 9-string (The Hydra) is strung:

now, imagine :.
without tuning the hydra 1 step lower,
you have a normal 6 string with the 3 extras between the 4th and 5th being

5th=d, same note as 3rd fret 2nd string
6th=a, same note as 2nd fret 3rd string
7th=e, same note as 2nd fret 4th string

It's like Joe Pass on RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSS

also I'm a huge Charlie Hunter fan some call his bass/guitar hybrid a bit extravagant but I think it's just beast

Hasmamagee · 08-18-2010, 09:57 PM

Oh by the way check out his version of "a closer walk with thee"

Customisbetter · 08-18-2010, 09:57 PM

epic necro, but i gotta say, that is a beautiful instrument in the first video.

Trespass · 08-18-2010, 10:19 PM

I forgot I started this thread.

VariedStyles · 08-23-2010, 12:11 PM

Beautiful stuff.

I love ERGs, I love chord melody (or polyphonic playing as I call it)...

And Jason Crawford is awesome!!

Edit - Does anyone know what tuning his guitar has? So far I thought it was a regular 8 string (except for the single coil pickups...weird), but now I see it has 3 bass and 5 guitar strings (guess that would account for the fairly realistic bass sound he has). I haven't seen any normal 8 strings (F#BEADGBE) used in jazz so far - any videos of those?

venneer · 12-14-2011, 06:25 AM

I guess this is an epic bump for no apperant reason other that to say: "Thanks for sharing" !

I had never heard of Jason Crawford before... Dude is awesome (not that the others were any worse). I loved that... Gotta look for more now.

JazzandMetal · 06-23-2012, 05:38 AM

This thread is awesome. Here are some more examples.

Robert Conti tuned to F# standard:

And here is somebody named Michael Reizenstein, playing his "ninestein" guitar in the first video and a Goodman jazz guitar in the second. He is tuned to all fourths.

JazzandMetal · 06-29-2012, 05:12 PM

Mike Reizenstien just put a DVD out and I just received it. It is excellent. He does great basslines with his nine strings.

On the DVD, he notes that his guitar is tuned all fourths, from the top string down, F, C, D, A, E, B, F#, Db.

JoeyW · 07-22-2012, 02:43 PM

I know he's already been posted but Jason Crawford is just so great! I love this take on "Now's the Time":

Trespass · 07-24-2012, 03:30 AM

I've had the good fortune of meeting Jason Crawford here in Toronto a few times. Great player live as well.

Daken1134 · 07-24-2012, 12:01 PM

self plug even though ive posted it everywhere previously

Trespass · 07-24-2012, 09:29 PM

You know, I spend a lot of my time rallying against the jazz police in real life.

But come on man, that's just not jazz.

You played some chords with extensions, not swung, with zero improvisation or communication.
