MINA SAMBINHA samba latin Jazz Guitar – Godin xtSA Mina Sambinha is a song I wrote inspired by brazilian music and accordion/bandoneon, specially the superb french player Marc Berthoumieux. This time I play with MIDI guitar. Jazz Guitar I have a broad of influences toward Jazz Guitar. Brazilian music specially is a endless source of inspiration. I was particularly touched for this tune creation by talents, music and human spirit of artists like Ivan Lins and his extraordinary band (have to listen Leonardo Amuedo!) and Joao Bosco also with a incredible staff of band-mates and guest musicians like Gonzalo Rubalcaba in Incompatibilidade De Genios. And of course…Tom Jobim, always present and alive forever! Technical stuff I did play a Godin xtSA blending the electric guitar pickups with a bit of piezo acoustic spice, there is too the midi guitar synth controlling a french accordion sound from RS5 keyboard via Roland Gi-20 Midi converter. Pure MIDI guitar..! I composed and recorded this song with the help of amazing program Band in Box 2008 – www.pgmusic.com – including live “on the fly” electric and Midi guitar performance direct to the stereo audio track available in Band in a Box.. not overdubs or edits..it was HARD!! because, beside the playing itself, there are real time switching between electric, acoustic and midi, I got a decent version after 3 or 4 attempts. Band in a Box is, to me, a invaluable practicing, composing/arranger assistant tool for musicians, song …
Really nice sound
one of the best guitar players I ever heard. You are a big innovator. Greatings from Germany.
WOW! Great composition and perfect playing. Congrats!
Gracias! . El estilo es skysamba.sty, la batería la cambié a Bossa Terry Clarke de Batería Real (Real Drums). Saludos.
very good playing , sound and feeling ! i just tried a godin lgxt today( a luxious version of a xtsa)
Thanks. At that moment I was tempted to get a lgxt, a great guitar too, but xtsa h/s/h pckups configuration + tremolo and tons of sustain fulfill what I was seeking, a guitar covering a broad spectrum of sounds. Through a careful mod I did add split coil puss-pull pot for a broaden tone palette. A little heavy but not unbearable remind a Les Paul in tone with the chance of get also nice Strato like spices with the split coil mod.
This is it! Wonderful playing. You are a very accomplished player.
Have you ever tried some other synth guitar?
olla amigo. Adoro tu sonido. Cual es lo style de Band in a Box que tu usaste para esto conposition? Gracias.
Gracias Marcelo!. el Roland GI-20 es una interface MIDI especializada para guitarras provistas de una pastilla GK o como la Godin que tienen el sistema hexafónico y la circuitería en el cuerpo del instrumento, el GI-20 necesita un dispositivo MIDI externo para los sonidos tal como un teclado, módulo, sampler etc. A diferencia del GR20 o GR33 los cuales tienen sonidos internos ideal para tocar en vivo, pero me gusta el GI-20 en estudio por sus posibilidades ampliadas de control. Saludos!
¡¡¡Gracias Carlos!!, No paro de ver este video y cada vez me quedo mas perplejo. ¿Es tuyo este tema de “Mina Sambinha? No tienes que envidiarle a nadie como guitarrista… eres ¡¡FABULOSO!! Un abrazo desde Granada (España) Jerónimo
