I just spent some quality time with the LG, prepping for my first tube roll experiment (starting with the stock 12AX7, looks like an EH 7025; and I can't recognize the EL34 brand inside the cage). I...
Not exactly true. My Heritage Johnny Smith Rose from 2001 is quite a powerful acoustic guitar and louder than many good 18-inch guitars. It is as loud as my Heritage 18 inch Ghost built D'angelico...
I wouldn't mind resurrecting that rhythm guitar thread. I'm playing big band regularly and I'm not sure when to stick to Freddie G. and when to branch out. Freddie played with Basie and...
The tone, harmonics and playing are just sublime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOZ9eBrFZz0
Yeah, that's a good plan. Not sure why I thought there was a pickup on this one.
I think in a way that answers the point. If an acoustic guitar is not very loud, it’s not very acoustic. We could debate ‘good’ and granted, I’d prefer an even tone to a loud one but in general,...
JD, That sound you got with the HJS is thick enough to cut with a knife brother. You're awesome! Lots of Johnny Smith threads I know you're reading them all. A dear friend just snagged an early...
I might throw in a vote for the Godin Kingpin. The 175 is a deep guitar for an archtop, I think that's what makes it feel large.
It can depend on the tune and on the section … in this case we’ve got probably the beginning to beat one of m4, with the second phrase starting on the last beat of m4, yes?
With some fretboard (lemon) oil on the rosewood saddle holder it doesn't even look particularly odd on top of the ebony bridge. Kind of repeats the sunburst pattern...
Thin hollowbody: Gibson ES-120T Guild T-50 Epiphone Sorrento Reissue (there are some with P90's and some with mini-humbuckers) Full: Gretsch G5420T Gretsch G5422TG Not sure that any would...
I also play (a kind of) classical, so I'm used to coping with higher action (and know that actually good classical players -which I'm not claiming to be- aren't necessarily incapable of reaching the...
Yeah, I ditched Spotify about 2 years ago, but still use YouTube music...I've encountered very little that isn't there, but I'm not taking chances. Still have a bunch of CD's in my car. Been...
There’s still music that’s not available on Spotify that you can get on CDs. So do be judicious about which ones you choose to part with.
Some years ago I analyzed the head and extracted a series of chord specific licks that covered the whole head. If you orient the licks to the chord of the moment, there are a relatively small number...
