Nathan! your tone is sounding better than ever! are you doing anything different re amp and or signal chain? also great lesson. huge jim hall fan
Hi Eli, thanks so much for your comment! Well, I guess it depends on the last video you saw. A couple months back I bought a new compressor plugin as well as a reverb plugin. For my guitar signal chain, I'm currently going into a golden age mkiii pre-amp, then into the golden age COMP-2A (in limiter mode such to make sure there is no clipping), then add some EQ in logic with the FabFilter's Pro-Q3. After that I add Austica Audio's "El-Ray" compressor plugin (it's super transparent and musical, great for jazz). Lastly I run the guitar into two reverb plugins. The Liquid Sonic Seventh Heaven and Altiverb (on the Wendy Carlos plate reverb). Sounds like a lot, but honestly I don't add a lot of each effect and everything is saved as a preset now, so it's just plug and go for me!
First of all I want to say that you have a beautiful guitar sound. I have the video of Jim playing "Getting Sentimental "and that performance and your sound are prime examples of the beauty of guitar. My great inspiration was "The Poll Winners "; Satin Doll, Green Dolphin 🐬, Minor Mood, etc. What kind of guitar strap are you using here? I use D'addario Auto Lock.
Hey Stephen, thanks so much for your kind words! I’m using the CFG Zero Gravity Guitar Strap. It’s amazing, highly recommend if your having back issues (like I was)
Complimenti, iscritto🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate that, thank you! 😊
You are the man. Though I want to see a lesson on the right way to play Smoke on The Water.
I can only play it the wrong way :(
Thats the right way! @@NathanBortonMusic
Gran máster
Thanks for your support Siglo!
Thanks for the lesson. I found tab is a little hard to see on the transparent background
Sorry about that! Appreciate you watching though! Also PDF downloads are available for everything through Patreon if needed
Hello from Boston! Thanks for a great UA-cam channel. I'm hooked on shell voicings. It's a game changer for me. I love the simple small grips. Now I'm ready to start expanding upon those voicings and I have a question. Let's say I want to make a C dominant into a 13th. Are there shells for the extended chords? Would it be root, 3rd and 13th; C, E, A? Can I eliminate the 7, 9 and 11th in the chord? Or are we now starting to drop the root and go with the 3rd, 7th, and 13th? I hate complicated grips and tough stretches. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks Nathan!
typical reduced voicing for a C13 is Bb-E-A. That said, the real beauty of small grips is the ability to move individual voices of the chord around. Pretty soon, you aren't think of individual chords, you are thinking about interlocking melodies that will sometimes land at the same time and sometimes not. Barry Galbraith's GUITAR COMPING is a great book on this type of melodic chordal playing--which is not "chord solo'ing." Nathan Borton is such a hep cat that he has plenty of videos on that book! Another great musician/ educator/ force of nature is Barry Harris. You can apply his harmonic concept to those small grips to experiment with moment. For instance, playing the I and ii diminished. Once again, Nathan has videos on that here on the channel as well. Hey Nate, can I get a job doing your PR ;)
hahaha I don't think I have enough money to pay you (or myself for the matter) Thank you for the reply though :)
Charles, thanks for your question! pickinstone gave you a get voicing for a C13. The idea behind that is that we have the core of our chord the 3rd (E) and the 7th (Bb). Then we add our color tones, in this case the 13th (A). Typically the color tone is one top of the 3rd and 7th (shell voicing). So you could have Bb - E - A or E - Bb - A. So to answer your question, first you need your shell voicing, then you add your color tones (chord extensions). You also don't need the root as the bass player is playing it!
Thanks for your reply. I don't understand why it would be a Bb; wouldn't it be a B which is the 7th?@@pickinstone
Got it; yes Bb of course as it's a dominant chord. Thanks guys!@@NathanBortonMusic
🤙🏼
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff! Is there a standard that has a harmonic sequence similar to @6:48, namely a Dom7alt moving to Maj chord with same root? Sounds familiar but I can't place it.
