Scott Jones: |
|
Here are what others are saying about Scott's playing and his C.D. "Freedom"...
In response to an email I sent to Bear McCreary:
"Scott,
Thanks for the kind words, man. I always appreciate compliments from musicians,
especially such well-rounded ones as yourself. Keep up the playing, man. Your
stuff sounds great. I've always been a huge fan of Vai, especially his Fire
Garden and live albums...

need that extra burst Scott Jones is the real deal bro. He is the type of guy
who lives and It is always a pleasure hearing your work. You continually
blow me a way and Every time I hear you play I am inspired to practice
and sell all my gear Wow, Scott, the tension/release that you show in this
song is absolutely You've obviously been putting a lot more thought into
your phrasing though, It is truly amazing and obscure, your drumming and guitar
work is Scott, you are scaring me. That sort of playing is beyond
my comprehension. Seriously bro, that rips. It's wild, and I would hate
to have to tab that one My head just exploded from the sheer fury...! ...it's just sick I tell you! Scott, this is...quite insane. I'm afraid you've become
a danger to yourself Nice work! And by the way, I quit. Anyone want to buy
8 or 9 lefty guitars? ON THE BARITONE PIECE REFLECTION OF AN AFTERTHOUGHT: Stunning, absolutley stunning. I LOVED IT. That's strange beautifful music Scott ! Simply amazing... That is just beautiful, man!! Incredible sound, wonderful
textures!! Love the Music like this is why I DON'T do drugs... Wow...nuthin'
else to say...Wow... Wow, that was very cool! Sounds very keyboard-ish at
times, sometimes slap I really dig your stuff, I love fast and wild dissonant
jazz/fusion. I hope Really amazing sounding. You have a very unique phrasing
that I completely dig your ideas and playing...Keep rocking
this little world of ...a killer piece. Lots of good and inventive ideas in
there. Pretty mind ...this is some serious good stuff, i really dig it man!
This is kinda weird I half expected Billy Cobham to come in with a blistering
percussion figure, Very tasty stuff, Scott. Interesting composition. The
instrument's "snap" Whoa....where have you been all my life? If Pat Metheney
were a woman, -------------------------------------------------------- ON GIANT STEPS-2003 (unreleased): Excellent playing and awesome tone!! Scott, That rules!!!! Awesome! Holy Coltrane, Batman; that is impressive. Man that was beautiful! You are the caliber of player
I have been trying to ...really nice ... really fusion ... ...great job! very Holdsworth-esque! Excellent! Nice interpretation. Some of those runs are
absolutely scary. The I liked it a lot. Some of the fast runs were unbelievable. Love the playing Scott... Man that run that you play at 00:39 is UNREAL! I think I prefer the tone on this version as opposed
to the first one because Personally, i'm impressed with ANYONE who could blow
over Giant Steps and Anyway, that is a nice interpretation. It is an interesting
mix of a 'modern' I really like how you hang in the pocket in a relaxed
way, then just blow. I don't have a problem with the tone either. Though I
think the short delay Great Playing ! Anyone who can solo over those changes
is a prime time I am very impressed by your playing skills - your interpretation
of Giant Wow! You are awe inspiring as usual. Beautiful!!!! I've listened to quite a bit of your playing
on here and you Scott! What amazing tone and choice of notes! You play
over this like This is up there with Scott Henderson's playing over
it (Must be the name Scott, hmm.... Congrats on a great "electric guitarist's take"
of this classic - everything The playing here is superb ( i must say that your fast
legato lines sound WOW. That was awesome. I love what you did with the melody.
I got a Frank REVIEW OF SCOTT'S MUSIC IN GENERAL: Jazz is characterized by a strong but flexible rhythmic
understructure with Music, theoretically considered, consists altogether
of lines of tone. It Scott Jones, you define music; aesthetically pleasing,
harmonious sounds. You Your technique truly is impeccable, resembling that of
Derryl Gabel and Allan Often have I wondered whether your musical compositions
are conceived through Thank you for your music, it has helped me immensely
on my spiritual front! I've heard Scott Jones do Traditional Jazz, Blues, Classical,
Fusion and Rock and do all of them well, with Satriani isn't qualified to carry Scott Jones' guitar
case. Scott Jones is beyond him in every way possible, ON COLTRANE’S COUNTDOWN AND GIANT STEPS It's SMOKIN', dude ! You're a very good player! Very seasoned. Good bopping! SJ, wonderful chords on Giant Steps! ...amazing, i really liked the phrasing ALOT...the playing
in itself, amazing... I think a clean tone, that's well defined, fits these
types of songs much better than a big distorted high gain holy smoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's your best Giant Steps yet Scott... imo. Fantastic! Smooth as silk. Killer tune to play over even
at slow tempos, never mind that speed. As always, quite stunning! Sick. State-o-the-art for blowing over that tune. The
chord reharms were, well, sick. Sheesh. How does one get Hey Scott, is was great! Awesome playing! You are one
of the most versatile guitarists I've heard! ...and for his next trick, scott jones will buy a £20
guitar and a 5watt amp. we're talking bad here. with only That was very nice Scott. But the assignment was "Girls,
Girls, Girls". And remember, NO reharmonization. Scott. You, sir, are a monster. ...if i saw you preform that live, i would stab you out
of sheer jealousy. *stab stab stab stab stab stab stab stab Scott, That was brilliant as usual!!! I Loved it!! You da man!!!...as
far as your playing ability is concerned---well lets NEW CLIPS.....G-3 STYLE TUNES SHRED BALLAD #1 Holy good god mother of pearl!!!!!!! Regarding your playing..........
I'm speechless. WOW! I'm picturing you with one boot up on the monitor
wedge and flicking your pick at the crowd at the end of That was G3-o-lycious! All you need to do is punch Vai in the face and take
his sunglasses. Then your costume will be complete. Oh, and grow long hair and stand in front of a giant
fan while you play! Oh, and you missed one key shred-god trick... Gratuitous Floyd Flutter-trem work. Scott, you are a monster and an inspiration!! I would
love someday in my life to be able to even approach that level of playing.
Another masterful showpiece.... Hey Hey Hey Scott! That was amazing. Incredibly fluid, definite Satch vibe,
but with your own unique turn on it... Nice job, Scott! Absolutely inspiring shredding and musicianship, Scott,
I really liked your tone in this clip. I'm gonna stop now before I run
out of superlatives. It's a blessing having Incredible stuff as usual, Scott. Supremely tasteful
shredding. Damn....you are scary, mate!!!....you and lerner both....."Oh
well, back to the old drawing board"..Wile E. Your talent knows no bounds!! Killer note choice man,
there were a couple of nice suprises in there, which I always love. 's not fair i think you should remove some fingers, that
way it might give us mere mortals some chance of catching up with you.
your tone is lovely. what guitar/amp do you use? and
most importantly, does your moniter have footprints on it? I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyyy impressed. Seriously. ------------ SHRED BALLAD #2 Its players like you that make me wonder why I bother.
Fantastic. Scott here is something else... I don't think I can say anything more than "WOW!!!" That is some of the tastiest, most passionate, most musical
"shredding" I've ever heard in my life, bar none. This clip insipred the shit out of me. I have touched
my guitar just one night since last weekend's gigs (for Damn dude! That is some of the best rippin' I have heard.....You
definately have the "Vai vibe" in your That sounds great!!!!!! Man, I love the inflections in
your playing as well as note choice!... I the little vibratos, the subtle
bends. Fabulous. I really like that you didnt just blow through passages
with blazing speed, but took your time and tastefully ripped. After hearing that, I only have two things to say to
you: wow...you're....GOOD.....somebody really needs to tell
Satriani and Vai that you exist, so you can get on that G3 ...it's such a pleasure to hear inspiring talent like
this....makes me want to keep practicing! you really have Holy crapski. OH man. I'm sitting here with this on repeat.
This is crazy!! So good. Who do you list as i think you are probably the best gtr player on this
forum, but i'm not as fond of this kind of playing as i am of your fusion
stuff. your strength is your speed, harmonic grasp, and ability
to play against syncopated melodies and quirky Now thats the kind of playing and music I love!! I could
keep on listening to it over and over again! Wish I could do it myself
lol... Very enjoyable!! It's refreshing to see someone who can
shred and still play with some feel and phrasing instead .....you are better than the whole G3 together! ---------------------- FREEDOM REVIEW FROM HOLDSWORTH FORUM It's a very good album, which contains jazz-rock, fusion
and jazz The album was first more or less released as a CD-R on
Gnarly ---------------------- |
