It's a great site, thanks for posting! When you see 7K songs, you start to get excited, but from what I can gather: 1)There are only songs that...

That is gorgeous!

I can vouch for this guitar sounding fantastic in a band situation, and has no trouble cutting through to be heard. :)

Lol … classical technique is codified. Ask four classical teachers about rest stroke and free stroke and they’ll disabuse you of that notion. ...

Sorry Cholly, me like.

I followed you the first time. Are you saying there are higher spatial dimensions?

Yes, and that's the essence of the problem. You would have thought that by now the plectrum technique would be solidly codified, similar to the...

As in "sucks" or "that cat can really blow?" :wink-new:

I think maybe the one thing we can agree on is that the verse blows? Maybe?

Thanks Andrew, Hmmm, I thought it might be the listed L7 with the cut-in pickup but I think not so, please feel free to send me a pic or two. My...

I saw this post in response to a YouTube video of an L5CES. Interesting in that it seems to describe a flaw similar to what was evident in my...

Humbucker sized P-90, of course! :cool:

Yeah you're right, it is easier to call it that than Ebmin/Cb! It was misleading that I called it "straight up c minor"

A number in the 800000s could also be somewhere between 1973 and 1975. FWIW there was also a fingers tailpiece on the D’A for a while. Sent...

It is now marked sold. I think the lack of a reply to the suspicions is itself, suspicious. This is a fairly small community and being...

Oops! Sorry.:doh:

Sounds normal to me also. I use the bridge humbucker frequently. I know Gibson's recommendation, but I just measured all my Gibson archtops with...

whelp there you have it, pack it in boys!

Did I hear "It's the Simpsons" riff .. some very tasty lines at warp speed.

I have tried a Benedetto A6. I found the pickup to be warmer than a 57 classic but also thinner and with a pretty fast decay. The handmade KA PAF...

What a miss by Kane in the dying minutes. I would have bet my house on him driving that home. One of those nights, I guess. The Ghanaian fans...

Agreed, last week they were on fire but this looked like "same ol' England". It's like they swapped with Portugal

WTF? It"s free? BTW, I have few absolutes when it comes to subs for standards, but Night and Day has to start with a bVI Maj7 on the first beat of...

I swapped my 57 classic for a Benedetto A6. Much warmer, woodier sound.

Not overly impressed with England tonight: 0-0 with Ghana. I thought they would win. Still, they are through to the next round already.

After the pick up of the chorus the 'first' chord is written as a Cb maj 7 in the piano part (Cb in the bass) going to Bb7 in the 2nd bar. I tend to...

It’s Abmaj7 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is going by too quickly to hear the changes clearly. But a thing I’ve noticed about the second chord (in Bb, it’s G7): some folks play it as a...

Last thing, Dick Hyman's changes have the Abmaj

Brother, thats Fly Me to the Moon.

I'm sorry, all. I was incorrect those chords were the intro! First chord straight up c min

Since no one was going to tell me anything about anything I worked something out with Mr. Yamamoto. Is that the legend you're thinking of? The...

Yeah man, I used to literally buy these on ebay for way too much money then I learned about this site here. Freakin amazing Night and Day –...

Isn’t that part of capitalism great? We can benefit from less expensive goods.

Maybe, but coming up w legit jazz guitar related posts isn't as easy as just selling a couple minor items on reverb or ebay to 'establish' a history....

Very much interests me-- do you have a link? Id like to look at the whole thing.

I am a fan of 57 Classics and 490Rs. I think the KA pafs handmade by Kent are warmer.

If anyone cares, the first chord in the 1932 sheet music is Edim So in C, C#dim to G7 And the bass would go C# D E

Good luck to you! I know it's a needle in a haystack, but I hope you find it. If not, and you need a consolation prize, I have a 1940 Gibson L7N that...

Thomann is hilariously pretending to be the good guy. The reality is they wanna keep selling their cheapo harley benton knockoffs, which undercuts...

The 57's are pretty warm, thick, and fat, especially at the neck. So is the 490r.

SS, How would you compare them '57 Classics? I imagine you've had a guitar or 2 with those in your vast experience.

You’re NOT AI??? Human, like the rest of us…or not quite like each of us. Sadly, AI could probably give something close, not now, but certainly in...

Sat down with it again today. Here's just the melody... As far as Dm7b5 vs an Abmaj type chord, I say ¿porque no los dos? Im glad the OP...

That's a tricky one.

The warmest Humbuckers that I have tried are Kent Armstrong's PAFs.

Diogo has been deeply missed by many, including a member of the Scottish team, who was his closest friend at Liverpool.

Definitely what they needed. My Brazilian wife wants Portugal to do well so that they could lose to Brazil when it counts...I really hate that they...

If this is legit,seems like seller would have responded by now.Scammers are finding out you can't just have a new post on a forum like this or Reverb...

Absolutely! Those in the know can hear the difference :smile-new:

Technically a NAM A2 (or A1) capture should be more accurate than a Kemper. If that's true, seems we should be able to find NAM captures that sound...

Includes the locking power cord?

Well, was I wrong! Great game, and a great contribution from CR7!

+1 for BAM200. Not the loudest among the 200W Class D bass head crop, but the sweetest-sounding. Despite market positioning as a bass amp, my clan...

I can read a melody, and get it right within a few passes. I can play a typical not too complex chord chart in a pass or two. But dense chord...

I'm very happy with mine too. Warm, defined, and can be very subtle or outrageous, depending on adjustments.

On which of his record albums does he play Stella by Starlight?

It can be downloaded, as can this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3QgxCs46kM

I use an old 3 knob Polytone MBIII (ie with the 15" speaker) for both.

Very impressive lacquer repair !

Excellent diversion

I felt the same

Billy Penn in Toms River is excellent as is Dave’s Sound, already mentioned here. I have used them both. If you decide on Billy he prefers text...

Mine sounds like that

This might seem like a point of failure, but taking something challenging like this in 10 minute chunks is a very efficient way to learn. It's how I...

I don't expect the Valeton GP-5 to become my primary. Mainly I want to screw around with captures. Being able to do so with such a small investment...

No lie, his ear is better than mine. He'll sit next to me when I'm transcribing and say frustrating things like "you're close, but that's not right"

Clearly a jazz guitarist in waiting

This reminds of talking to my 8 year old... "What time is it daddy?" 4 o'clock "No, it's 3:56"

The canceled Uzbeks goal was beautiful, and it's harsh decision. The defender lost the ball before he was fouled, so it didn't have impact. Oh well.

your guitar sounds great

It's also a smaller archtop at 15" and, I think, 2.5" in depth. I have 10-gauge Tomastik bebop flat wounds on it, and I think it has a nice sweet,...

let them talk, you played great

Never happened to me, thankfully, but I've seen a lot of movies :smile-new:

His role in the second goal was brilliant :cool:

I thought this was a thread about jazz insults. "I really like what you were trying to do there." "It sounds like you have been working hard on...

CR7 scored in the first few minutes ;) Go Cabo Verde! EDIT: 2- nil @ 16:40 EDIT: 2-0 @ 28:39 (maybe goal for UZB -VAR review) (no goal, foul)...

Probably a stupid question, but wouldn't there be an inventory of IP when Leo Fender sold to CBS and when CBS sold to FMIC? I would have imagined...

Do you also use a combination of 3nps and 2- or 4nps? For playing bebop lines I'm trying out the combination.

I mentioned CAGED since I knew about it around a month ago and see the similarity. I guess CAGED is an american system? Living in Europe I never...

My picking is bad so I just slur everything like Stanly Jordan

Yeah I’m a huge believer in slurring into downbeats but there’s a pretty wide range among guitarists in terms of how to deal with this stuff. The...

I was planning to pick one up to find out if I like NAM modeling. But given your experience with it, I'm not going to bother. The GP-50 apparently...

Good news, the video isn't for a first timer to study from. It's to wake up someone like OP who is dabbling in things beyond their grasp and show...

^ Rescinded. My post was wrong, you're right suggesting Bb6/dim for G-7. In true Barry, you only use the device for the 5 chord in the 2-5. ...

I use two Lekato wireless systems. Both work perfectly with any of my three good archtop guitars. Maybe the word perfectly isn't the most...

oh, and of course in that example the most ideal situation would b Gm6 Adim Gm6 the C7...but that is not always possible

I think sax players are taught to slur into the downbeat, accent the end of a phrase and the top of the phrase contour. (8th notes.) Ideally...

Have you asked Mak of MaksGuitars? He can have things that are not on his website.

Is it chambered? (hollow inside).

Yeah, Cabo Verde are most people’s fav other team. I’ve always liked Portugal as a country and a team, but they haven’t really turned up yet....

Just beware that sponge foam will start disintegrating after some time and you need to check and replace them. A few years though probably.
