John Scofield - Amazing grace

[Bro]

Hi guys, it's been a while!

I'm hoping that y'all can remember me, this is a short recording of me trying to play like John Scofield. Its a short solo arrangement of amazing grace. For this i used my strat into my 1969 fender bandmaster through two celestion vintage 30's in a closed cabinet. Some of my best gear, let me know what you think!

nice playing, I would say you are getting there! You might want to check what you posted as after amazing Grace is something else entirely, is that planned or accident?

very cool tones

Hi, thanks for the kind words. i have no idea where that rock came from. A friend of mine borrowed my micro br, he must have recorded that. Anyhow it's fixed now

I'd really like some more feedback on this *bump*

Nice picking, Jimi.

It still reminds me of funeral music.

Thats really incredible playing there.  Is this all fingerpicked, or is it hybrid picking (with a pick and fingers).  I think your tone is spot on, playing is very clean, every note shines, no fret buzz at all, smooth transitions between chord shapes and single notes, and bass notes.  Hell, what do I know, all I know is I really enjoyed listening and I wish I could play my strat as cleanly and precisely as this.  This sounds kinda simple, but I bet it is quite hard to play it good like this, infact it is not simple at all, it just gives off the illusion of being simple, I guess great players like Scofield do that, make the complex sound simple until you try to play like them.  You rock man, very nicely done.
