Members BlackCat Posted March 18, 2011 Members Share Posted March 18, 2011 I've really been enjoying these interviews. I missed most of them when they were first printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrockbridge Posted March 18, 2011 Members Share Posted March 18, 2011 Great subject. I've seen Jorma Kaukonen twice in concert. He's great! I saw Jorma play with Hot Tuna a few years ago. He played mostly Epiphone electric guitars through a Carr amp. The performance was excellent. His tone was incredibly sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimdunk Posted March 19, 2011 Members Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for posting. I remember reading your articles back in the day. I have a soft spot in my heart for the Airplane ever since I got tear-gassed at their concert at the Akron Rubber Bow circa '72. Nice interview with Jourma.

Members fretmonster Posted March 19, 2011 Members Share Posted March 19, 2011 I still have that issue of Guitar Player magazine, and found it extremely interesting after all these years to read the rest of the interview. Actually I bought that issue (Wallmart) at a time before I started playing guitar again (quit playing for about thirty years) and it was the very first Guitar Player magazine I ever bought (later subscribed). It was a fabulous article by the way, but I still remember being perplexed about the way that Jim Cippolina sent the signal to his amp to get his particular sound. Thanks, it's such a breath of fresh air to read your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members humbuckerstrat Posted March 19, 2011 Members Share Posted March 19, 2011 Very interesting interview, Jorma was one of my earliest influences. This part intrigued me, I notice that on many of the early psychedelic guitar recordings, there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted March 19, 2011 Members Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for posting. I went tripping around through some JA stuff on the web after this thread got me going. Amazing and sad (for my heart throb) that Grace Slick is now 71, but it happens to all of us. If we're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JasO Posted March 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 19, 2011 Very interesting interview, Jorma was one of my earliest influences. This part intrigued me, I thought Jorma got that powerful vibrato from a Bigsby, not his fingers That certainly is a revelation, his vibrato is as strong as Peter Green's, Danny Kirwan's or Paul Kossoff's One of my favorite tracks of Jorma doing this on electric is "Wooden Ships" on Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers. What a tone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members humbuckerstrat Posted March 20, 2011 Members Share Posted March 20, 2011 One of my favorite tracks of Jorma doing this on electric is "Wooden Ships" on Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers. What a tone! Yeah, Jorma always had great tone, and JA's version of Wooden Ships blows away CSN&Y's original version, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scott944 Posted March 20, 2011 Members Share Posted March 20, 2011 Heads up, Jorma fans - the current issue of PG has an interview with him and Jack Casidy, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
