Have you ever wondered what removing the frets on your guitar - TopicsExpress



          

Have you ever wondered what removing the frets on your guitar might do for you and your music? In this video the frets are still there, but the last part is played beyond them. While trying to figure out whether Jeff Beck is playing strictly on overtones or is just sliding with feeling, I realized theres no way those tones can ever be equally tempered, no matter how good a musician or his ear might be. Thats simply because no human can play equal tempered tones naturally and without the help of artificially tuned instruments of fixed tones, like pianos for example. Which brings me to one of the comments about the poor guy on keyboards which is clearly stuck in 12-tone equal temperament and has little space to move acoustically. The guitar has obviously overcomed this limitation - at least temporarily, while not touching the frets - and Im not sure whether the bass is fretless. Of course drums never had this problem... SELECTION OF VIDEO COMMENTS: The slide sequence that starts on 4:00 is totally out of this planet. At any given time something, for some reason, made Jeff, Tal, Vinnie and the poor guy on keyboards that no-one knows his name, the most gifted quartet in the history of perfect sounding music ever for one concert!!! The reason I know this is because every influental guitarist and frontman for the past 50 years turns up to watch them. Long live the real musicians and especially those from another planet!! Jeff welcome to Earth!! That thing that Beck does with the slide at the end cant be done! But he does it. Holy Sh*t right ? Hey duzz Jeff know Hes Awesome and If so How the hell kan any type of friggn exceptional, (Hey~aAnd I Mean Exceptional) Human Being Live with Themselves Havin All of this GroooooooovinessSS I think he might be the coolest dude in the world, eclipsing even the dude. Both he and Vai played w/ V. Coliauta, who really is transcendent in his approach - so good it is RIDICULOUS. They all are. very very very good - mere words cannot describe that intensity of musicianship.... type of slide playing is beyond me yet, actually i find it impossible to get......... most amazing guitar player !!! https://youtube/watch?v=XdCGdL3R0n0#t=242
