Ground zero is Freedie Greene with the count Basie Band (subtle and understated) ...
Freddie Greene is completely 'acoustic' so it can be difficult to hear him, especially on computer speakers. Listen to the spaces where the band's not playing too loudly. This is a great tutorial on big-band comping ... Here's a more modern take with the guitar mixed hotter than usual (guit solo at 3:08) ... Ed Bickert with the Boss Brass ... *Ultimately your time feel and chord voicings are where the magic lies. Don't lay too hard into your bass strings. If you play a solid body, try to voice chords on strings 5 - 2 (ADGB) and you can even stick to 3-note (3rd, 7th, 5th) and 2-note (3rd and 7th) voicings. Def check out the 2nd vid I posted, the tutorial. This post has been edited by klasaine: Sep 14 2015, 05:55 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
