Happy Holidays ladies and gentlemen!

Always happy to see a new video from you. Truly beautiful playing and your guitar tone is amazing. Happy Holidays Ken!

Agreed, this is beautiful Ken. Merry Christmas!

PS When do we get the next heavy metal video from you?

as much as I dislike xmas songs, I cant resist checking out another chord shredding vid from Ken
Very tasty playing as ever dude.
Im always half expecting one of your songs to kick into a kinda psychedelic vibe and go a bit 'planet caravan' I'd wager it would be most epic

"Chord shredding" what an awesome name for it You nailed it bleez! Ken - what a great playing - You definitely do not need any band to sound great and complete You remind us (the solo guys) how wonderful this instrument could be doing all the job at once. Lovely tune!

Very inspiring , thanks, happy holidays!

Along with what everyone has commented, your tone is incredibly beautiful too; very rich and silky.

What guitar is that again? I believe a modified Jazzmaster you built?

Thanks guys and gals!



Yes, a Jazzmaster body cut for Telecaster electronics.
Except for the body, which was made by MJT guitars, everything else came from other guitars. That front pkup is from a mid 60s Teisco. My repair guy put it together.

ah,mm , what everybody else said

what he said ^

Thanks again gentlemen and happy new year.

Now thats just cool!!!! It's done almost in classical style? Do you play classical / flamenco as well? If so, please maybe do a version that way if you can find the time? you have some AMAZING finger control and I'd love to hear it

Thanks Todd!
I don't really play classical guitar. I kind of butcher it but I was a classical guitar major in college (CSUN). There was no other choice then. There were a ton of modern type classes you could take (jazz, studio, recording, etc.) but your 'major' (for any instrumentalist) was either classical performance or composition.
Anyway ... yeah, the legit thing sneaks into my playing here and there. When I was a little kid I learned a bit of the country blues (Piedmont) style guitar picking which is in there too.

You are the king! I love to see you shredding chords! Thanks for this amazing piece of music and happy new year!

Thanks Gab, and welcome back. It looks like you a great vacation.
I too like 'chord shredding'. Thanks Bleez!
