    Hi David. No amp here: guitar direct into the Tascam GT1 - clean setting with a tad of reverb. Guitar was still bone stock then. Cheers!

    Thanks, although it wasn’t that long ago!

    As I recall I spent a long time first playing the tune along with the backing track (probably an Aebersold) before I dared to make the video, so I could play it well enough.

    Coming back to the discussion about Monk and Miles, I wonder how such great individuals collaborated and got along during the recording of the album " MILES DAVIS and the Modern Jazz Giants"...?
    Miles Davis - trumpet
    Milt Jackson - vibraphone
    Thelonious Monk - piano
    Percy Heath - bass
    Kenny Clarke - drums
    Recorded in New York, December 24, 1954

    I was 15 days old then.

    I think that might be the recording where at one point, Miles shouts at Monk to lay out (he didn’t like Monk’s comping apparently!).

    Ian Carr writes in his Miles Davis biography that Miles and Monk didn’t get on at all during these sessions, and that the record company thought it was a good idea to pair the two. He doesn’t rate the recording very highly, either.

    BTW Dizzy claims in his autobiography to have written the intro to Round Midnight, and that Miles never got it right.

    I recorded my version today, I found some cool chords in the book with Monk's compositions - probably similar to his performances.My guitar sounds pretty good in the lower register and is a bit like the Wes Montgomery L5 sound.

    Miles says in his autobiography that he didn't like Monk's comping behind his solos and told him to lay out. He contradicts rumors that they didn't get along personally and insists they were close friends. He may not be the most reliable reporter of fact, though..

    Well, I get bored with long public holidays so I've messed with this a bit. Hope I don't meet Monk. 'Hey, you're the guy who fooled with my TOON!'. But you never know, he might like it.

    Lots of nice takes this week, and some old faces have returned. Here's my take:



    (realizing now the audio and video are not well-synced...)

    Hofner Chancellor
    Archtop-exelent sound.
    Cool sparing solo - glues well with backing track.
    Very jazzy phrasing.

    A beautiful version of jazz solo guitar.
    Great playing.
    The quality of the recording is a bit annoying to me when listening to it, i.e. a distorted sound and an ungrounded guitar.
    Or it's my sound card and speakers ... not sure.

    It is unbelievable, that we are all looking for ultimate amp, mic, cabinet, software, effect, modeller, etc... and this is the direct guitar output to recorder, and sounds amazing. (If I understand correctly)

    Direct recording from a decent archtop guitar seems to work well, that’s always been my experience.

    We use a computer and a sound card that has a preamplifier in it.
    We record without using a microphone and a guitar amplifier with sound correction.
    But I use the Shadow preamp cable to connect to the USB sound card....so I'm not sure if this can be called "direct recording"?
