My chord melody arrangement of one of my favourite standards, Blue In Green. TABs and a full lesson on this chord melody is available on my Patreon; / joshuameader
Outstanding Performance. Joshua, if you read this, can you please tell us your Signal Chain and Processing. That Tone is what I like to call a Lobster Dipped In Butter Tone. Also, for anyone that's interested, most of what Joshua is doing is essentially a Chord Melody with Single Notes in Position Technique with Pick and Fingers/Legato. Its actually very Joe Pass. Although Joshua's Tone Is better and his Legato is Extremely Smooth. Its not only Joshua's Legato Technique itself that is so smooth, its also the Tone itself that makes the Legato sound even Smoother. Joe Pass was never too fussy about his Tone. Also for anyone that's interested, please check out Joe Pass's solo Virtuoso recordings and Hot Licks Instructional Videos and also Joshua Meader's Jam Track Central Instructional Videos. Thanks.
Always look forward to your videos! Amazing. Can you please make a video talking about your approach to guitar playing, composition, thought process, chord voicing etc? Would find that super interesting. Thank you for blessing our ears.
Hello Joshua! Big fan here from Brazil. I wonder if you know the music of Toninho Horta. He is a Brazilian guitar player and composer and also a master in harmony. I’d recommend those albums: Toninho Horta Diamond Land Moonstone Thanks for all the inspiring music!
Josh Meader, he conveys some of the beauty of it but it's in this overly short condensed version, and as typical with Meader has too many too many fancy fast riffs and tricky chord melodies. It's another show-off vehicle as opposed to serving one of the best ballads in jazz. Listen to the composition on Miles' Kind of Blue. That is proabaly the best version. It evokes a sad but gentle mood. Coltrane takes a solo on it. He doesn't do any fast distracting riffs. The guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg has a nice version of this on youtube. It's a good one about 6 minutes. Bill Evans has a 4.5 minute trio version on Portrait. You can't get into the mood with this condensed 1:34 minute version. Why would you make a version shorter than the original? Are our attention spans that bad? There's a nice acoustic guitar version one youtube: Vironas Ntolas - Blue in Green (Miles Davis/Bill Evans) A challenge for Meader would be to play a ballad with no fancy fast riffs in it. You don't have to be a virtuoso every time you pick up the instrument. Ben Monder is good a playing ballads in new ways but without resorting to fast riffs thrown in. Sometimes just serve the music, the mood and spirit of the composition. This is a sad tune with a little glimmer of hope in it. The goal is not to play it as pretty as possible. It's to convey the mood and spirit of the song, in my opinion. Other tunes are more made as a blowing or technique platform. I do like the last 30 seconds of the playing here by Josh. That's where the mood starts to sink in. Unfortunately the song then ends. Ichika songs are composed to be short, are beautiful but I would not say soulful and you often think about his technique when he plays. A song like Blue in Green, it takes a few minutes to hit your heart. If the technique shows too much it can distract from the spirit of the song, especially on ballads.
Is that based on the Frank Gambale model? That Koa top is almost as ridiculous as your playing brother! Imma practice this for five years and get back to you. 😂
Great guitar player- but he butchers this. The tune is not a showcase for technique; it’s an extended meditation on an augmented blues form… written by Bill, btw, but credited to Miles because Miles took credit for lots of tunes he didn’t write. See Walter Rodriguez Jr. for a beautiful, proper solo guitar version of this. And before all you fanboys come after me, I love Joshua as a player- he’s an amazing guitarist. But he doesn’t have to shred everything and I wish he wouldn’t…
I wholeheartedly believe this guy is one of the best guitar players on the planet.
I play guitar, then there’s what this guy does
I'd like to see Joshua and Matteo together in concert. Both these guys are extraordinary. 👌
That guitar is so beautiful, something about that shade of wood with gold pickups and a bridge looks incredible
Kiesel Guitars my friend
I'm shearshing this model but i've nothing. @@ewljr Do you know wish model of Kiesel is it?
@@loiseljyef4512 This is the Frank Gambale 1 signature guitar model

I had a guitar teacher tell me not to use open strings, because of the timbre change, but you do it very well 🥰
Too short I wanted this to go on forever

Diamond Land

Thanks for all the inspiring music!
Молодец👋🎉👍🏾
@Josh Meader Which Kiesel guitar is that and is it light weight ? Your whole setup sounds nice .. is that an Axe FX or ...?
Phenomenal guitar player but I have never seen a video of him playing standing up.

Don't spoil us with so much beauty so fast. We're not in a hurry. Take it slow.
