Bedroom sessions 96 Monday Blues (improv) - Borderlining Earth and Space
Back at it again with anther Bedroom sessions to celebrate this Monday Blues!
Still continuing the journey of neatening up my recording setup! What do I do with all these cables?
In this recording I used two microphones to mic up the speaker in my 5W Tube amp, the Blackheart Little Giant (one right of the cone and one dead-center). I am also experimenting with some Flanger and Chorus thanks to my good friend, Dr Botes, who so kindly loaned me a few more pedals to have fun with while exploring and experimenting in 'outer space' ...
I think my next investment needs to be an attenuator to help recording CRANKED amps at "lower" volumes ...

Bedroom sessions 95 Hendrix Tribute (Improv Jam)
Переглядів 1179 годин тому
Another Bedroom sessions! bringing some Hendrix guitar and tonal inspiration! Sometimes there is nothing better than to pick up the Stratocaster, crank the fuzz, hit on the vibe pedal, crank the volume on the tube amp, let go and let it flow! Hendrix is an inspiration for freedom of expression. The guitar was an extension of himself, and he used it as a means for pouring himself out. This video...

Back with another Bedroom sessions! What is Monday for, if not for the Blues? Enjoy this short improvisation!I am working on trying to neaten up my recording setup (it is a difficult and ongoing process!) and am also still experimenting with recording in stereo. In this video I placed a Carrol mic (a cheaper, entry-level microphone) to the right of the speaker cone to record and capture more of...

Happy New Year! May the year 2025 bring peace and joy in abundance. Experience the Ocean with this Under The Sea (Space Jam)! This video is an experimental and fun atmospheric jam session to start off the year (hopefully in a relaxing and calm manner). Lots of delay, a little reverb, space and bell-like tones with my strat (recently refretted by my friend and guitar luthier, Graeme Hayward). Th...

Another Bedroom sessions! This video is another track taken from the end of the live session I recorded this past weekend. Once again, I was playing through two amps in stereo: VOX AC15C1 and Blackheart Little Giant 5W. At the end of the session I turned down the tremolo and reverb on the AC15, and then subsequently decided to hit the Fuzz and crank up for the last few minutes (because ... what...

Bedroom sessions 90 Blues improvisation in A minor (Playing through two amps in Stereo)
Переглядів 79Місяць тому
Another Bedroom sessions! I enjoyed recording a live session this past weekend, playing through two amps in stereo: VOX AC15C1 and Blackheart Little Giant 5W. I enjoyed the onboard tremolo and spring reverb effects of the AC15 and played relatively clean through the Little Giant (with of course, a small amount of reverb and delay ... ) I am lacking a second mic stand, so the bar stool came in h...

great sharing dear Jame
I am glad to hear you enjoyed the music! Thank you for the support! 😁♥
Nice jam with a fitting title, definitely got the spacey vibe!! Good Monday jam, I'm digging that flangery tone!! Keep on rockin man!!!👍👍🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
I am stoked you digged this one! The flanger is an interesting pedal and effect! With the Fuzz in front of it, it starts to make the tone sound like a jet engine! If it's too much it can also just sound like a lot of noise 🤣😅 Have a great week!
Great improv James. 😊😊
😁
Hi , friend ! I very liked your bedroom musical sessions , LIKE 10 !!! Wish you good luck !!!
I am glad you enjoyed the music! Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it! 😁

@@GuitarArtisan stoked you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for the comment and for subscribing to the channel! I appreciate the support! 😁
Beautiful guitar sound great performance~ New Sub~
@@DonkeyGuitarHeeHaw thanks for the comment and subscribing to the channel! I appreciate the support! Happy to hear you enjoyed the guitar ☺️🙏🔥
Great improv music jam ❤😊
@MooreMusic12 thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed the improv! ☺️🎸☀️
Awesome jam and great iconic tone! I got a kick out of the timestamps 😂 Now you can really get the Jimi vibe with the Strat leading the way! Do you have a wah pedal? Anyways, good stuff and a fun jam, Ican tell you were feeling it! Keep on rockin!!👍👍🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
@@ImprovGuitarJams thanks, brother! Yes, it's definitely a classic tone! I felt like I had to put timestamps to help give some guidance and order to the chaos of this improv jam 🤣 and because improv is often littered with thoughts of "what the heck am I even doing?" ... I felt some of the timestamps were very appropriate 😂😅 I have a wah pedal, but I don't often have it in the signal chain and only use it on very rare occasions. I am still "finding my feet" with the wah pedal. It wasn't in the chain on this video. Stoked you dig the jam! Thanks for watching and for the comment and support ! 😁🙏🎸
Excellent performance! This gets me over the Monday blues.
@@joedewberry thanks so much for the comment! I am glad it helped you with the Monday Blues 😁🎸 no better way to handle Mondays than with the Blues
Love ya boetie! Loving it! Kiff new frets!
You can drive trains over those frets they are so big! Thanks, brother! ❤
Nice blues jam! I dig that mirror, it would be crazy if you had a room full of them🤔😅
If I could, I would! 🤣🤣I have one mirror and several paintings hanging on the walls, but the walls are already chockoblock full! Also the mirror is definitely decorative and not practical 🤣Stoked you dig the blues jam! Thanks for the comment!
A nice blues groove and some sweet Strat tone, nice job man!👍👍🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵
Thanks so much! I took your suggestion on "Bluesday" Tuesday and decided to upload a short video from a recording session I did before the end of last year! Thanks again, brother!
Great music performance 😊
Thank you for the kind words ☺
Awesome fuzzy Monday blues jam!! That Vox sounds great, can I borrow it?😂😂😂 I'm so happy for you that you have your Strat, I can tell how comfortable it is for you!! Tuesday is also good for blues jammin', or should I say "Bluesday"?😂 Awesome jam, have a good one, keep on rockin' brother!🙏👍🎸🎶🎶🎶
I am stoked you are diggin' the Monday Blues! I love the Vox amp so much that if I could have two of them, I would. In fact, I would collect as many of them as possible - even if they are the exact same amp. They are just lovely! I think Bluesday is another great day for the blues! Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! 😁
Awesome playing man! I'm so glad you got your Strat back, it sounds great! This jam has a really nice vibe to it, I enjoyed very much, what a great way to start out the new year, I hope you have a great new year and an awesome weekend!!! Keep on rockin' man!🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thanks, brother! I am glad you enjoyed the underwater space jam! I am also grateful to have my Strat back! It feels like a new guitar, and the frets are MASSIVE! Jumbo+ sized frets! Feels like a dream! Thanks for the kind message and New Year wishes! 🎸🔥😁
@@jamescrowdermusicnice, must be like playing on a scalloped fretboard 👍 maybe I'll try those out when it's time for a regret on mine, I'll try to do it myself, if I mess up I'll probably just order a new neck
@@ImprovGuitarJams My friend (the guitar luthier) told me that Jumbo+ frets are the closest things to scalloped fretboards without having to go through the effort of scalloping the fretboard 🤣 Initially I wanted to scallop the fretboard and now I am happy I first chose massive frets! I am excited for you already! All the best and I am sure the refretting will go well! Go well, brother! 🔥🎸
So ethereal
Underwater bliss ... The deeper you go ... I must admit that I think I chose lines that I would normally not play. Thanks for the comments, David!
Beautiful. Awesome cover art too
Thanks, David! Glad you dig the cover art! My Dad helped me put it together on Photoshop!
Great 🎶 music 😊
Thank you! I appreciate the comment 🙂Happy New Year, looking forward to seeing more piano videos, too!
Nice relaxing jam. Good use of effects 🎶🎸👏
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the jam and the effects! 😁
Keep playing bro! very groovy stuff. Very unique style! Love that you’re doing something different with this song.🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I am stoked you dig the groove! 🔥🎸😁
Wow ... That's really impressive. Well done. Respect.
Thank you for the kind words! I am glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great cover, big like 🎸🎶👏
Thanks for the comment! I am stoked you like the cover! Keep well! 🔥
Nice ine man! I thought I was trippin' out for a second with the visual trails. A cool original take, great job man!! I hope you have a great weekend with plenty of jam time!!👍👏🎸🎶🎶
🤣🤣🤣Thanks, brother! Definitely a bit trippy! I am happy to hear you enjoyed this one! I had a lot of fun making this track and editing the video! This weekend I will be rippin' on my strat with new jumbo+ silver/nickel frets!
Love the visuals! The man is spitting some hard bars
Thanks, David! I am glad you dig the visuals! 🔥
The man's whole soul is in here
❤️🔥
😊

Blues jam with great blues sound, nicely done🎸🎶👏
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed the blues! Thanks for the comment!
I see you're really enjoyed that amp tremolo, sounds great! Love that Pelham blue 👍👍🎸🎶🎶🎶
Indeed, yes! Today I picked up my strat after it was refretted so I am eager to plug in! Then it will most likely be back to fuzz and blues!
Nice jam session, I really like that amps reverb and tremolo, it gives such a classic early 60's sound. Eventually I'd like to upgrade my amp to something with that. Nice job man, keep on rockin', have a great week!👍🎸🎶🎶
Thanks, my friend! I am very chuffed with the amp! It really is that classic tone! When I first plugged into it, it instantly became my favourite amp. I will be looking out for your new amp when you get it! Thanks for the comment and I hope you have a good week, too! 😁
Gibson SG is so good
I agree! 🔥
Nice jam with awesome fuzz sound. 👏🎶
Thank you! I appreciate the comment! I am glad you enjoyed the jam and the fuzz!
Cool blues improv!
Thanks for the comment, Max! I am glad you enjoyed the blues improv! Thanks for watching!
Sounds great! 🎵🎵🎵🎵🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks, Max! I am stoked to hear you enjoyed the sound on this one! 🔥🙌 Thanks for watching and commenting 😁 Have a great weekend!
That fuzz sounds great! Which fuzz are you using? Nice fuzzy bluesy Friday noodling, way to close out the week! Have a great weekend my friend!!🎸🎶🎶🎶
Thanks my man! I am stoked the man always digs the fuzz tone! I always use the same fuzz pedal: MXR Classic 108 Fuzz (it is a mini pedal). Sometimes I put a tube screamer after the fuzz if I don't want it to be too heavy in the low-to-mid range. I think this tone is extra Phat and Tasty because it is going through two amps in stereo and just adds to that fuzz nastiness! Have a good weekend, too!
Duk tone
This comment could be great for confusing people who don't know how to translate South African Mengels! I almost first read "thick toes!" 🤣 Luckily my guitar brain knows the correct translation of "Duk tone" 😝
Siiiiiiiick
Thanks, Nicholas! I appreciate the comment! I am glad you think the improv is sick! Go well 🔥
Nice blues jam! I dig that clean tone with the tremolo vibe! Keep on rockin' man!🎸🎶🎶🎶
Thank you so much, brother! I always appreciate the encouragement! I am also digging the clean tone lately! It surprises me sometimes! Go well! 🎸🔥
Great ❤😊
Thank you for the comment! ☺🙌 🔥
Awesome guitar playing!!
Thank you for your kind comment, I am happy to hear you enjoyed the guitar playing! 😁🔥
Nice! Sounds like something that was on a bootlet Hendrix tape I use to have!👍🎸🎶🎶
Thanks, brother! It is amazing how plugging straight into an amp can sometimes be the best tone you get! No interference or chance to ruin the tone by too many pedals!
That amp has a nice fuzzy gain to it, btw, I use the same guitar cable you have😂
The chap who modified it did something to the overdrive channel and biased the power tube amps. So the amp is doing things I have never heard it do before! I love it! Also on the guitar cable ... great minds must think alike 🤣It is a very useful and practical cable to not trip yourself! Although, I am still getting used to tucking it away behind my strap!
Nice man, great tone! I love that SG!
Thanks so much my man! I am stoked to hear the man is still enjoying the tone! The SG and P90s really opened up my mind to exploring new tonal territories. Before this I only played single coils for about 3 years! I dig the SG and the P90s!
Гавно полива , негр проснулся после 199 лет спячки (замороженным)
That is great improv! Great playing 👏🎸🎶
Thank you very much for the kind comment! I am really chuffed you enjoyed the playing 🔥
Awesome job man, it has a bit of a jazz vibe to it, I dig the tremolo effect! Keep on rockin' man!!👍🎸🎶🎶🎶
Thank you, kind Sir! Always glad to hear that the man is digging the tone and effects! Blessed day, brother! 🔥🎸
Wow!! Perfect ambience tone
Thank you so much! It was the first time experimenting with recording in stereo! Thanks for watching!
Nice man, I'm diggin' that vibe tone!!
Thanks, brother! And to think that I never used the pedal for almost three years! It was just sitting there. Now I am digging it!
Jack White would be proud, fuzz tone and blue guitar... 👍
Wow! The idea of making Jack White proud with my fuzz tone and blue guitar might cause me to wet myself with excitement - haha (just kidding, of course!) but it really would be exciting! Thank you so much!
Nice little blues groove!! Keep on rockin' brother!!🎸🎶🎶
You are always so kind and supportive! It really is motivating! Thanks, brother! Blessed day further!
Amazing energy and raw beauty, sounds superb
Thank you! I am really stoked to hear you enjoyed the sound! Bless!
