    On Broadway Guitar Solo

    Hey guys, Happy New Year!

    Thought I'd post a video from my last gig. My group Standing Room Only (A Lagond Music Production) played at Bar East 1st Ave @ 90th. Turned out to be a really fun night! We did our version of On Broadway (of The Drifters and George Benson fame) and here's my guitar solo from that:



    It was recorded on a Cisco Flip and put through iMovie and Youtube and all that so you lose a lot of lows, but you get the idea of the tone. My rig that night was:

    Pelham Blue DG-335 (w/ BB3 bridge pickup, TonePros hardware and 13 gauge Sadowsky Pure Nickel strings) > (blue Trailer Trash pedalboard) Freakshow Effects The Rabbit (Rat clone) > Line 6 Verbzilla > Fender '57 Tweed Twin-Amp (channels jumped with a y-cable). Also, I'm using Fulltone cables for everything including the pedalboard.

    Feel free to check us out on Facebook as well and 'Like' us if you dig what you hear! I'd love to hear what you guys think!

      Nice!
      I am so close to retirement that I could play in a band full time. All I have to do is figure out what to use instead of money, improve my playing, learn some songs, and find some other musicians more talented than me who will do exactly as they're told. .

            HELL YES MAN!

            Good to see you back around after a few years - did you end up going to Berklee as once discussed or what?

              Haha thanks! It's definitely fun to play with those guys. I've known them for a while. And yeah, I switched to fingerstyle for almost everything. (little bit of nail, not too much). I was on and off with the flatpick, thumbpick or just fingers or just thumb. But I made my decision a few months ago to stick with the fingers and develop that. Still do octaves and some comping with the thumb and funk rhythm with a flatpick but everything else is fingers. I dig the tone and I play more melodically and rhythmically that way. It's different for everyone.

              Thanks for the comment

              Thank you and it's good to be back! Yeah, I'm at Berklee now; going into my 6th semester (can't believe I'm half-way done with my junior year!) I'm doing the whole 'jazz' thing which I can't get enough of. I have a great private teacher that is really steering me in the right direction and inspires me all the time despite being immersed in the competitive 'conservatory' world. Repertoire, transcriptions (Bird, Wes, Benson, Cannonball Adderley, Rollins, Grant Green, Trane, McCoy Tyner, Michael Brecker, Scofield...) improv improv improv, composing, gigging, playing, absorbing what everyone in Boston has to say, plus other musical classes and liberal arts. Then, I take that and apply it to my own projects. All of it works together one way or another. Working a lot over the summers teaching, roadieing, gigging, rehearsing etc etc.

              I'm on winter break now and for the next couple of weeks. I got inspired to do some gear stuff and that brought me back here!

                Finally got around to watching/listening to this. That was most enjoyable, would love to see you play live next time you play in NYC. Drop me a PM.

                Tone was great, very Klon-like, imo.

                  Thanks a lot man! You're hearing power tube overdrive (the amp is set pretty high) with the Freakshow FX The Rabbit (RAT clone). I wish the recording didn't compress/neuter the sound so much. The tone loses its depth.

                  I'll definitely let you know the next time we play in the city. I'm spending the rest of my break shedding for the next semester and doing some random cocktail gigs (private parties and such) for spending money. The band will probably do some stuff in March and then maybe a tour over the summer. We're going to Baltimore for some festival or something then hopefully a bunch of NY dates.

                  Again, (shameless plug) please help me out by 'Liking' the Standing Room Only page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lagon...56316731082980. It takes 2 seconds and helps me look better for clubs in Boston/NY etc. I really appreciate it guys, you all know how it is to start promoting bands. Thanks so much guys.

                    There's a reason you've been my favorite young forum member, and that's the reason.

                    I knew you were the real deal when you were a teenager.
