Gigging my 1965 SG Jr.

cms6795 · 05-07-2011, 12:57 PM

Hey guys, first time poster here. Just thought Id share this video of me playing my 1965 SG Jr at a blues jam at a local bar. Im using a silvertone 1482 combo with one 12" speaker with only a tiny bit of reverb from a pedal, Im a very straight forward guy. Let me know what ya think! Im the little 15 year old behind the giant dude with the tele. Stick around for my solo, I think its alright.

Thanks!

Very nice man! I love SG Juniors.

sbeng · 05-07-2011, 04:00 PM

You've got the tools and you've got the talent - good job!

vulture · 05-07-2011, 05:00 PM

You nailed it slim. My old SG jr is one I'd get back if I could.

geochem1st · 05-07-2011, 06:06 PM

Real nice lead work and feel..... need to cut through the mix more. That tele's tone was killing you, but I thought you were the better player.

Thumpalumpacus · 05-07-2011, 08:07 PM

Get it, brotha. I wish I had been that good at 15.

HOT-BRIT · 05-07-2011, 08:15 PM

good job
love 60's sg juniors have two of them, they are keepers

nwobhm · 05-07-2011, 08:28 PM

Nice thanks!

cms6795 · 05-07-2011, 09:07 PM

Thanks guys, yeah the tele was being played through a larger 2x12 and i only had a small 60's 1x12.

***b-squared*** · 05-07-2011, 09:12 PM

You won me over with the coiled cord even before I heard you play.

Great, tasteful playing. If I was that good at 15 I probably would never have joined the Air Force--I'd have been touring after High School.

Keep at it...you're a great player.

cms6795 · 05-08-2011, 08:14 AM

Kevin James · 05-08-2011, 01:19 PM

Man I hear Allman Page and Clapton coming thru. Killer son.

PapaSquash · 05-08-2011, 04:17 PM

Just keep doin' what you're doin.'

You'll be out from behind that Tele player in no time.

P.S. That's a proper guitar. I don't own anything with multiple pickups

cms6795 · 05-08-2011, 04:21 PM

Thanks guys, Im really glad to see you all accept this young-en here. I usually play with these guys without the other guitar player and he showed up this time so I showed respect to my elders and let him take the spotlight.

PapaSquash · 05-08-2011, 04:25 PM

Cool old gear, hell of a player, and he's well-mannered.

He's destroying my preconcieved notions of today's youth.

How do you feel about Metalcore?

not a fan of metalcore, or as us newport kids know it as hardcore....there are tons of groups that do their hardcore thing and i respect them for their interest in music but i dont think i could stand listening to it for more than 5 minutes. Im more of a late 60's early 70's blues rock guy. I also like many other tasteful genres of music but late 60's/70's rock blues is my thing. You know zepp, cream, the who, james gang, free, mountain, the yardbirds, slade, the animals etc. all those blues and psychedelic bands.

PapaSquash · 05-08-2011, 08:15 PM

There's hope for the future then. Welcome to MLP.

I went to school in Portsmouth for a bit. My aunt taught at Salve Regina. Newport is one of my wife's favorite places to visit when we're back east.

cms6795 · 05-08-2011, 08:41 PM

Ahh cool. I go to middletown high. I just tell people Im from newport cause more people know newport.

lpcustom69 · 05-08-2011, 09:26 PM

Nicely done! The next time tele dude shows up, and he will, tell him to turn it down!

es345guy · 05-18-2011, 08:19 AM

Great playing!! I liked your solo more than the tele players hands down. It was way more soulful and if I had those chops at 15, I would be looking at doing this for a living. You clearly love the guitar -keep on doing what you are doing.

kidmo · 05-18-2011, 11:36 AM

Much respect here. Awesome playing and don't ever get rid of that SG.
As with B2, you had me at coily cord!!

porterburst · 06-28-2011, 11:46 PM

Very nice tone and playing.

Keep up the good work.

YouTube - ‪1965 Gibson SG Junior, Silvertone 1482 demo‬&rlm;

Heres a little demo of the setup I was using that I made recently. You can hear it better in this video. Its just using the camera mic but the tone is super close to what it sounds like in person.
