MissouriPicker Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Okay, Matt, now if you could slow the video to 1/4 speed so I can see your fingers....lol.......Really, really cool, my friend. You're picking skills are awesome. I am jealous............and I truly enjoy hearing this. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL The guy in the clip really inspired me - the tone he got from his guitar One of these years I really must get a Gibson acoustic. It is ridiculous that I am a classical/acoustic player and all my Gibsons are of the electric variety! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ridiculous that I am a classical/acoustic player and all my Gibsons are of the electric variety! Matt That's actually the pretty stock J-45 tone you get from picking between the soundhole and the bridge: sharp attack, quick decay. It's the classic bluegrass flat pickin' lead sound, and it sounds pretty good on a J-45, as long as you aren't being drowned out by a chorus of Martin D's. My old J-45 responds better than almost any of my other guitars to changes in picking position. It's as pronounced as the radical changes in tone you get from changing the neck/bridge pickup mix on an ES 335. That's one reason the J-45 is such a versatile instrument, and so much fun to play. Really, Matt, you need to expand your horizons and get aboard the Gibson Flat Top Express. It's a fast train to anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Matt, then it should have been you...lol....Either way, nice picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkolo Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 That is nice pickin' and my favorite style to boot. While looking around for an high end acoustic, or I should say thee acoustic I thought I'd be set on a Martin D-28 or HD-28 but I found them lifeless or at least the one's I tried were. The Gibson J-45 was extremely responsive, a lot closer to the sound I was hearing in my head, though not as loud and I wasn't sure how it would hold up in a multi guitar unplugged arrangement. But did it ever sound nice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RASHARU Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Isn't that a rosewood 45? If so, that's a very different animal than normal. Just sayin ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Holy mackerel that's how you clean a cod. I see this is a orange label 45, could be a Historic Collection. Seriously doubt he would have that much tone-space on my 2010 Standard. Nice force. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Isn't that a rosewood 45? If so, that's a very different animal than normal. Just sayin ... Nope, if you check his other videos, he says it's a J-45 standard. Hog all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I saw an orange label too .. but I now see it has an M/C white in his other vids. Thanks for clearing that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The clip in post #1 shows a 45 with an orange label – else I need a doctor just as fast as he is able to play. Also it has no sound-hole volume wheel. There is a Romeo & Juliet with orange too. I've haven't seen the white yet, but he might own several models.

I hate to be dumb, but what J-45 models other than the Custom are rosewood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RASHARU introduced the word rosewood with a question mark behind it, can't say why – There might exist a Gibson rosewood J-45 Modern Classic and this could be it, I don't know.

Because I've never seen a white-label rosewood 45. It just sounded more like a rosewood model to me than mahogany, that's all. I'm a fan of the rosewood 45's for their unbelievable tone & bass response. I never knew just how prevelant this was until I had the Southern Jumbo (mahogany) to compare it with. Yes, both are extremely cool but the mahogany can't even come close to the rosewood in overall tone. Definitely "apples to oranges". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yes, both are extremely cool. . . . As a 45 fan I'd really like to try a rosewood model. Agree there's a significant difference between rose and hog, but as you say both woods are excellent. Some see the J-45 and hog as a pair of truth – they might be right, still I'm curious about the slope/rose combo. A matter of time. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
