Full disclosure, I love mine, even if, because of some defect, it doesn’t sound quite like this...

that dude's great! Mine's okay, but not like that one!
Wow!
f-d
Man, now I want one!!!
Gee thanks ;)
Jamgrass 741 at the beginning?
Definitely sounds like Jamgrass 741 at the start...I know what I'm learning today! He sure makes that thing sing!
Ha, it’s a trick title, right?
I like that tone, and nice playing.
Looks like he is doing some kind of Jesse McReynalds quick pickin' or something similar.
That takes a bit of practice to make it sound smooth.
Wow !
I got inspired by his little Jamgrass 741 jam, so I learned it and jammed out this morning. Enjoy!

Wow. Obviously I've been holding back on mine! Nicely done.
Me too! I really like that mix of riff/arpeggio and then strumming like a garden to support the more melodic impro.
Check out 5:54 for the backing part.
Definitely a great job. Mine doesn't sound anything like that. Still like mine. Of course, I don't have his mad picking skills either.
Yes, guilty as charged of indulging in a click-bait thread title. I have always loved TMS videos, but this one really got my attention. I also found this video of James playing a Trinity College octave. I had one of these and really liked it, but am much happier with the punchier Eastman sound. I know there are lots of threads and questions asking about the relative merits of the Eastman vs Trinity octaves, and I really think James' videos would be helpful for those trying to decide but who cannot try them out for themselves.

So he tunes them down a semitone? No other comments about that so I’m wondering if people do that often.
Maybe it’s to make the strings more slack to bend notes?
