My dad used to work for G&L in Fullerton near Placentia. John used to come in to the shop and talk to Leo about the type of guitar he wanted, then they would come to my dad he would build the entire guitar for him. Cutting the body out, the neck style. All the good stuff
I got to see the Desert rose band at the Delmar Fair, had to be around 1986. Those guys sounded just like the tape I had in my truck, I was impressed with how good they were then and how he plays now WOW! makes it look easy doesen`t he.
Humble guy and certainly not full of himself @ all. Thanks Senor Jorgensen for the attention.Evert time I play your tunes in the car, people wide eyed want to know who is that?
Your Welcome Zac. Tried my best to upgrade the video footage a bit . Still it has some minor audio drops and clicks and pops here and there. Anyway, nice to have this video around. Have you watched the other video from the Hellecasters 1994? It’s a different one than the official DVD release from 1998. Enjoy
@@thedesertroseband Thank's for uploading this instructional video. I have that G&L ASAT JJ signature model that I bought from John personally. This guitar is one heck of a guitar.
There is a UA-cam uploaded of John playing an acoustic 12 string Takemine on "One Step Forward" with Chris Hillman and Herb Peterson. This is a circa 2012 reunion. He breaks out in these beautiful intricate leads. Jaw dropping and worth watching.
Love this, been a J.J. fan for decades! Ya know, every time I hear and or see Brad paisley it’s like hearing Jorgensen, imitation truly is the best form of flattery. 🎶
I know that Brad Paisley idolizes Jorgenson, but I honestly have never heard much similarity to Jorgenson in his playing. Maybe a little bit in his tone, due to amp choices, but Paisley sounds more like an evolution of Ray Flacke to me.
I doubt there has ever been a night when JJ wasn't very good. In fact, very good is probably his *_minimum_* level. Every time I've seen him he has been phenomenally good. 😎
Amazing! I can already think of a friend I need to tell about this as well. (he borrowed by Jorgenson DVD for a long time, so there won't need to be any borrowing in this case, haha)
I met John and the Hellecasters years ago and it was truly the thrill of my life i asked them if some of their recordings were sped up and they played at speed immediately in front me me jaw dropping John is a genius
Oh hell yes! John Jorgenson is the man! I Wished Jack White would have used John in place of the Edge in It Could Be Loud. John, Jimmy Page, and Jack, damn that would have been a stupendous guitar lesson in a movie.
brad paisley said in a recent interview, he heard his tele tone and geeked out over it. said he had to have that sound. the first song def sounds like brad. or brad sounds like him. whatever lmao. sounds insanely close tones.
There's a podcast called GuitarWank (Scott Henderson used to be one of the hosts until the last year or so), with Troy McCubbin and the amazing Jazz Guitarist Bruce Forman, there's an episode with John Jorgenson that is pretty amazing, talks about his upbringing and all the styles he loved and learned and his story with Matchless and how that thing evolved with Mark Sampson, pretty incredible episode! Give it a listen people!
Met the Hellecasters the first time about 25 years ago and he told me too about them so I got the combo then head and cab and will eventually give them And my 2 JJ G&L guitars and my complete Fender Hellecasters collection to my grandkids Love JJ and nicest guy!
Does anyone know what the song is at the end of the tape with the beautiful chords and delay? Beautiful melody, always hated that it got cut off on my VHS tape from 93 lol. A masterclass indeed and yes a nice guy. Met him at a solar energy expo years ago, couldn't believe it was him and finally approached him and he was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. I think he was a little surprised someone knew who he was! 🎸
Yeah...I have the same question about the tune they were playing as the end credits rolled. Bummer that it's cut off. Progression of chords plus melody instantly grabbed me. What is it?!? BTW, that's a huge ditto on what a great guy JJ is. I've met him several times, and he remembered me. A true gentleman, very approachable and easy to talk to. Same as Tommy Emmanuel...and they're both guitar geniuses. My two favorite guitarists in the known universe. 😎
I'm new to this artist and band, does someone know the song title of the very first song played right at the beginning? I tried to look up "The Desert Rose Band", but didn't found what I was looking for.
Качество звука очень паршивое. Что что- а акустику в Америке походу так и научатся делать никогда. Абсолютно во всех дифкзорах динамиков резина, а в усилителях интегральные микросхемы . Которые хоронят весь спектр звука. Остаются только низа и чуток высоких. А среднего нет вообще.
Because John told me to get one I taught lots of summer school saved up and bought an sc 30 hc head and 2-12 cab which will end up with my grand daughter soon Best amps ever and I still have my 1964 original deluxe reverb no ligo😊
I hope so along with every Fender Hellecasters model issued all autographed and a couple JJ g&l asat’s I tried to sell them when I got ill but no interest so, keeping my passion close to my heart ❤️

John can play as good as he wants to. Very Very talented. And sounds so good.

@@MultiStratoman Hi, I also have one of John’s personals Asat silver sparkle guitars. Got it in 2015. Great one . Thanks
What matchless type is used in this clip ? Also like that hollow tele sound on 12:55. Like to know what pedals he used in this clip?

Such a laidback demeanor. It’s a pleasure to watch and listen to him;)

Love his playing on Desert Rose Band songs.
Great video!..on one of the NICEST...and BEST!..guitarists in the business!...
Major influence in my life!
I went to one of Elton Farewell Yellow Brick Road concerts in 2019 when John Jorgenson filled in for Davey Johnstone. He was very good that night.
jaggass, John Jorgenson was also a member of the Elton John band from 1994 to 2000
I doubt there has ever been a night when JJ wasn't very good. In fact, very good is probably his *_minimum_* level. Every time I've seen him he has been phenomenally good. 😎
He doesn't just play the guitar he plays many other instruments too.
Such a treat
Most awesome.... and inspiring :)
Amazing! I can already think of a friend I need to tell about this as well. (he borrowed by Jorgenson DVD for a long time, so there won't need to be any borrowing in this case, haha)

John would outshine any of them have seen him live many times and he is the One is Jack White really an accomplished guitarist? Hmmm
This is so great to see Thanks for uploading.. awesome
wtf. This is so great
Oh YES YES YES!!!! God I’ve missed this VHS. THANK YOU!!

WOW!!!😮
Mooi man. Deze heb ik nog op video. En ook op DVD van jou gekregen. Te gek.
Graag gedaan Johnny! 👍🏻👊🏻

Nice! Can't wait to really dig into this. Thank you!
Your welcome.
Awesome 👏🏼, your the reason I play Matchless!!!!

So pretty beautiful
John - my hair is not quite where yours is in this video but I'm working on it. Maybe when I see you next year with Chris!
I'm new to this artist and band, does someone know the song title of the very first song played right at the beginning?
I tried to look up "The Desert Rose Band", but didn't found what I was looking for.
The sequel to this is like 2 hours long. All they talk about is that other guys haircut
Good people! What is the name of the song played at the 29 minute mark?
Is that Tom Kolb interviewing?
Country Malmsteen!
Does anyone have tab of this video please !!!
I'll work it out now...just give me a few minutes.
Funny, He s got the same greenish old Matchless as i do.
Sounds like him and Arlen Roth played a lot together
LMAO-have you ever heard him with the Hellecasters?
That’s a serious hairdo on the interviewer

The guitars AND the big hair sure hurt the eyes!
The stupid and embarrassing things I’d do for that matchless amp.

@@martydibergi5228 good lord that’s awesome. Please tell me she will love and take care of it??
I hope so along with every Fender Hellecasters model issued all autographed and a couple JJ g&l asat’s I tried to sell them when I got ill but no interest so, keeping my passion close to my heart ❤️
@@martydibergi5228 Are you still interested in selling the JJ G&L?
