Sold my Katana 50 today ... Too much the same as my Cube 60.

Well, there you have it: the Les Paul makes an excellent jazz guitar, which is what Les had in mind when he set out to make it, as archtop players had been complaining about feedback issues.
Of course, the guitar doesn't play jazz itself...it takes a really fine player to make it sing, as DB does here. Bravo!
What model is it, DB? And how do you have it set up?

Great playing and tone. This is proof positive that you do not need expensive gear to get a great jazz guitar sound and vibe. It is also proof positive that a Les Paul is a superb design for jazz guitar so long as one does not require any acoustic crunch for traditional rhythm guitar tone.

Sounds great, Dick. What's the backing track?

Whatever the guitar, "it's always you", like the standard says...Great playing with a very responsive guitar.

Hi, DB,
I liked your pacing on this piece. My sleeping tenor sax was trying to break out of its case.

Nice playing and tone, DB! I have never understood the reluctance to accept the Les Paul guitar as a Jazz instrument. Jazz was, after all, its original purpose; and what it took to change that was for a few key players to apply them to the blues. And bear in mind that much of the impetus to try them was their (at the time) low price - many were hanging dusty in pawn shops, where hungry musicians looked for bargains.

I have 0.11 TI Jazz swings on it now. Action is really low, just like on a rock guitar. The amp I bought used for 100 bucks a few weeks ago.
Below the guitar in 1978.

That is actually a great tone .. on the bright side, but really great .. Had to look up your Tal video and yeah well ... Thru my blue tooth speakers this isn't inferior. Different, but not inferior ... Once again proving that our gear hunt is about other stuff than sound
-
Great playing as always! What are your amp settings?

Great stuff as usual, DB. It doesn't matter what guitar or amp you're playing through.
Thanks for the backing track also!

Lovely soloing, John!

Nicely played gents! I regret selling my Cube 60 sometimes.
1. The player
2. The amp
3. The guitar
My experience with inexpensive electric guitars has convinced me that this list, sorted in order of significance, is the source of good tone.
