NewImprov Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm glad I got the chance to see the vid before you pulled it, excellent stuff! Tasteful playing, awesome pocket (I really dig your rhythm section), and the XK-3 sounds absolutely perfect.

retrokeys Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 B3Nut has it exactly right in my book. XK3 topped with an Electro2 gets the job done well and the organ on the Nord is good enough that it can be the second manual for those times when you just have to do some two fisted playing. I'm going to try B3er's notion of taking the hi-foldback down a bit. I haven't gotten into tweaking the individual tonewheels because with the overall B3 type set on "noisy" I get a sound I like sometimes even more than my '59 C3 (and I love that sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outkaster Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I had to have back surgery in Dec. 2007 from hauling that B3 and I needed something lighter or else I was going to wind up crippled. Wow is that what I have to look forward to? "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

kanker. Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hey Jim - if it's possible, I may slap my XK-3c in your system on that gig we're doing up in Flint when I play with Tad. In other words, don't put too much shit on your organ A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3Nut Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 So by default the XK-3 tops out on the 1' higher than the next-to-topmost F# like the B-3 does before dropping back? I know they advertise it as having "96 digital tone wheels", which would allow them to push the foldback up to where the H-100 had it if desired. Interesting... --- Todd A.

BluesKeys Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Jim, great job on a classic... I was impressed with your guitar player as well. He caught the subtleties in the groove, played a sweet lead. Jimmy Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Griffinator Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 First time I've ever listened to a song where I wished the guitarist would STFU and let the talented guy go at it. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hey now, Greg is a dear friend and a very good guitarist (not to mention songwriter and producer). He took a very short solo in order to let the song be a showcase for me. He also pushed me to put the video up to strut my stuff. I know you were being complementary, but no need to diss someone in order to elevate someone else. Keep it greazy!

Phred Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I loved the guitar solo. Thought it was great. I am not a guitar player, but I am a musician, and that solo was musical. I personally like the looseness of the timing, and found his use of briefly playing 'outside' very tasteful. I also really thought the guitar players playing behind Jim's Solo was great. He was certainly listening, and changing things up to compliment the building of the tune, I thought the whole tune was excellent, the groove was super solid, not too fast, and the playing by everyone was first rate. I'm just saying', everyone that confuses correlation with causation eventually ends up dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Greg is a great player. His solo album (produced by B3-er) is excellent and is getting great reviews everywhere.
