Great Examples of a Good Jazz Guitar Tone

Fantastic playing. Dialed in Barney Kessel really hits the note. Great session.

Great Examples of a Good Jazz Guitar Tone

As Paul said, absolutely follow the piano. It's playing the same basic thing all through and the drummer's faster rhythms don't change that. Here's the opening salvo anyway, without sustain...

What's happening at the end of this song?

If you look at the 7th & 8th pics, they give a good idea about how much space there is. You could always remove the humbucker, put on whatever you want, and leave the partially covered hole. Would...

1982 Ibanez JP20 OHSC + Card + Key

Haha undoubtedly Trying to anticipate the bassline level of the average guitar player is mentally exhausting. OTOH they don’t need to know what notes they are playing, so long as they play...

From Bar Chords to Bebop

Barker Guitars - Any owners out there?

Can you help me understand the "thumb wheels" on my floating bridge?

Uniquely uninspired? :D Neck material apparently affects tone so I wouldn't be surprised if headstock weight has some effect too (try fixing sufficiently heavy sufficiently solidly and have a...

Anyone handled the new Epis?

They'll get set over time. No harm from just applying a little elbow (thumb) force. I have a little knurled tooth needle nose pliers that loves to do just that. Once it's unfixed, you should be able...

Recent interviews with Jorge Roeder ( bass ) and Dave King ( drums ) here: I can well see why the whole thing (trio) works so well. David

Julian Lage Trio - Sat 27th April - Marciac, France.

For those who haven't seen it yet, Live at Ronnie Scott's is phenomenal. I love Beck, BUT- I find you have to dig for his gems... where I can listen to an entire album of Steve Vai, or Satriani,...
