guitar.

thats the ZT lunchbox amp dude

his picking is cool
Bg
Man, his right hand picking technique is wierd, lotsa down strokes,
but he has no problems with the fast stuff it seems.

He's picking some of the eighth note lines with all downstrokes,
presumably because of the sound.
He's picking the 16th notes with alternating picking. I've heard him
up close and he can burn with long lines, alternating. I don't recall
him doing the all-downstroke thing, but it was a couple of years ago.
rpjazzguitar
got any outboard FX or EQ.
During his solo, the cymbal is as loud as the guitar. Pet peeve for
me. A cymbal can fill a room and keep the other musicians from hearing
each other.
Bob Russell
To cut the drummer some slack, that may have had a lot to do with
where the guy with the camera was standing and/or what kind of sound
recording capability he had.
Bg
Funny, you hardly hear the attack on the ride cymbal, just the wash
from under the symbal.
There are some vids there of Reg doing Whisper not, and Round Midnite.

Yeah, he couldn't possibly swing - he's not anchoring.

That's why we chased him out of this newsgroup some years back.
rpjazzguitar
The cymbal also drowns out the other drums. Around the 5:30 - 6:00
area, the cymbal is as loud as the rest of the group put together.
Perhaps in this case it's the location and type of recording
equipment. Perhaps the drummer is simply leaning too hard on his
cymbals.

He's coming from an older place but he does it so well and with his
own innovations that it sounds fresh. If thats a lunchbox I'm going to
ber checking them out.

IIRC, Reg used to post on usenet, but I don't know why he faded away.
Certainly it couldn't have been because he thought this place was a
waste of time.

Also, it looks like he is anchoring with his pinky during the
alternate picked runs. The downstroke runs look like gypsy style elbow
picking.
Joey Goldstein
Reg seems to prefer Facebook these days.

I don't know what he's anchoring on though, there's no pickguard on
his 175.
There is a guard on his Eastman though, and doesn't seem to make a
difference to him.

I don't think he's actually anchoring; I think his fingers are just
extended.

I've had the good fortune to spend a bit of time with Reg. He can burn
on long eighth note lines at high tempo. There is nothing ineffective
about his right hand.
I've also had the pleasure to sit next to him, reading the same part
in a class. I can read a bit, but Reg showed me what the difference is
between an amateur and a pro. He read the stuff cold and played it
with confidence and panache. He's a great musician and a master of the
instrument.

He's also a very good arranger!
I heard some of his stuff in the Dave McMurdo Big Band on Radio.

Reg used to use an ES-175 through one of the orange coloured Roland Cube
amps, I think a Cube 30.
I don't think he has a car so he needs to use a light amp for public
transit.
I think he told me that his 175 had developed some sort of inoperable
problem.
He's been playing a thin-body-all-acoustic-with-carved in-pickup Eastman
the last few times I've seen him playing.
I think he's got a small Jazz-Kat amp nowadays too.

That's sad about his es175, it's kinda his trade mark sounds, and he's
had it Forever it seems.
I kinda thought he tended toward Tube amps tho!
Hus used an Ampeg Reverbrocket on a Tribute to Wes CD with a few other
Canadian guitarists a few years ago.
He sounds tubey to me but it might be a really heavy pick as well.
I don't know what amp he's using here:

I sold him my Pearce G1b head many years ago.
It's too heavy for him to take it to gigs but i think he used to use it
on sessions, through a Gauss speaker.
I know he's still got the Pearce, but I don't know if he uses it or not.
I've never seen him use a tube amp myself.

That amp on that vid is a Rivera, but I guess it was a retnal for all
the 4 guitarist on that Wes Gig.
Lorrne, Reg, Jake Langley, and who was the other player?
Bg
Joey Goldstein
I don't know.
Ted Quinlan maybe?
I think those guys did a CD Tribute to Wes a few years ago too.
