Need Jazzy sound!!!!!

[Jazzer]

Ok I've been playing blues for about 3 years and now i want a jazzy sound but i dont know how to set the amp. I´ve got a 15 watt marshall and an Epiphone les paul, can anybody tell me how to sound like like that?? thanks!


SRV is the best!!!!!!!!!!

Use a clean setting, add a little bit of chorus perhaps. Maybe some delay, use the neck pickup. The important aspect of jazz isn't so much your tone but your phrasing.

[lalimacefolle]

turn your tone knob almost all the way off, and try to attack the strings so your attack is almost inexistant, then, try to play 4 notes chords, an lines with chromatic notes in it

[Bardsley]

Pat Metheny tends to roll all the tone off his Gibson, but less on his Ibanez. YOu want to be able to roll the tone off to create a very warm sound, but I tend to keep a bit of treble in there for a little bite and definition. Put the mids nice and high on your amp, with a nice amount of bass, and again put a little less treble than you otherwise would. Use the neck pickup of the LP (which were made for jazz in the first place) and as little gain as you can. A good option can be turning the gain on the clean channel down, with master volume up very high, then turn down the volume on your guitar. This will give you a very clean sound, with a lot of warmth.
