The Sweetwater listing for the AM 2000H says it is a semi- hollow. Lots of conflicting info out there right now but either way IMHO it's a pretty...

So keep this link- when someone asks "what's this thunk thing y'all are talking about" we can point them at the first 4 bars of this.

Don't forget that during some of the 1970's, the ES-335 (always a semi) had a trapeze tailpiece.

Generally people who can't read don't take those jobs.

Week 7. Day 2 of Cherokee this time in Db at 115 bpm. The first time through took a little adjustment to Db, but then it all started coming back to...

They quoted me $3600 shipped.

I was posting for tomorrow (thinking I'd put tomorrow's news out there early). Yeah Tuesday it's Cherokee II and Wednesday is BB. Hey. Frankly, I...

I have around sixty KB recordings, but Midnight Blue was the first. I was already a Wes and Barney fan, but Kenny instantly joined them. Danny W.

Me I’m thinking the AM93ME with the ebony top. 650$ at Sweetwater. Hmmmm.. HOWEVER found this on Sweetwater: The Ibanez Artcore Expressionist...

In the 80s and 90s, Japanese electric guitar makers played around with limited editions for the domestic market, many of which were either "pretty"...

Week 7 Day 1. 90BPM. Cherokee Db. Using the "official" ireal pro backing track. Actually I like where this falls better than the Bb version....

Hey Lawson, thanks buddy. I just checked Reverb and there are no used Monarchs. And they are solid wood whereas the EER’s are laminated throughout. I...

I used Stan Getz’ I Can’t Get Started when I was learning it. His tone and technique and melody made it so easy to listen to over and over again)))...

I'm just in the early stages of replacing some chord tones ( R & 5 mainly ) with either 9, b9 or #9. Haven't ventured into 11's and 13's yet but from...

Or how about this... Zoot and Al are an institution worthy of lots of study as well...

Me, too!

I would love to hear this interview!

allen eager was the basis for the lead character in one of the early books of the beat generation...john clellon holmes - the horn played tenor...

Robster! Thank you sir. It’s a beautiful song. You need to play this one boss. JD

Thank you C74. I didn’t know you have one. Early 2000’s. Maybe from the same batch! I like the way the guitar responds to a soft touch and when I...

My thoughts as well.

Or how about Allen Eager?

The one the pic above looks suspiciously like a Gibson Johnny A - I like it!

Is BB&B for day 2 or day 3? I thought were were on day 2 Cherokee in Db...

I usually play it solo in E minor, but I have played it in Bm and Am.

Now that would be a tough one for a casual jazz fan let alone a non fan. :cool:

Gorgeous! I always enjoy hearing you play.

Hey, it's Baubles and More today! Before you begin on the tune, break the tune into separate landmarks; break up the landscape. Either tonality,...

getzs nickname was actually -the sound!....& it's a clue in the ny times crossword puzzle these days!!! cheers

Deacon, I just had a guitar sent to me FedX priority overnight - a flawless delivery with no aniexty. This is the carrier of choice for...

I inquired about this guitar 2 hrs after it was posted, its supposedly in excellent condition ( not mint) , with just a few scratches according to...

Well, there you have it! Can you link the interview? I'll be buying those CDs for sure, there's even a cut w/Jimmy Smith and Donald Bailey, hoo boy!

Sounds vert much like Tal. That guitar, that amp, that guitarist - very nice combination.

That is one app to get excited about, especially for obsessive compulsive fellows like me. Thanks for sharing the info.

Lol, this is true :-) Here’s something else one could post to represent the nordic countries :smile-new: Every Single Scandinavian Crime Drama...

One of the best members of this forum (who was banned for some reason that wasn't clear to me), whom I've remained friends with, recently sent me an...

I have a tele which I modified for jazz; in the neck position I installed a Seymour Duncan stacked humbucker. Because the 2 magnets are stacked...

Well, i feel stupid. I complained about the price here but it turns out it's a '66. I don't really want the narrow nut anyway but that explains the...

I can't speak to pricing on TF's as I'm out of touch with them, but I bought my Trenier Motif from Folkway...they were excellent to deal with and...

The new AM2000H hollow thinline currently clocks in at €2500, with the new AF2000 Archtop (replacing the AF200) clocking in at €2400 I dunno .....

Fep - Great, I did like that. Deceptively simple :-)

Really, really good. Nice ebb and flow to the solo, great rhythm, I like how defined the A A B A is in your solo, especially like the start of the B...

Thanks for listening and the encouraging words. Mr. B, thanks for starting the thread and picking this tune. The tune, not sure I've heard this one...

Bummer :-( You may wish to look into setting up an account in the US app store - I doubt the app is available in the app store of my country. I...

That run at 1:35 to 1:45 gets me every time...

What are the differences (if any) between a Peerless made Epiphone Emperor Regent and a 17" Peerless Monarch with a floater, other than I guess the...

Sølo .. Thru some sort of irrationality I'm deeply offended by that name .. Like some weird Scandi'sploitation

Beautiful playing on a beautiful guitar. Nothing else matters.

Groovin' playing and delicious tone. Thanks, DB! :cool: PS Love that penultimate chord! :smile-new:

if it's a '66 it's got the narrow nut. that wouldn't bother Jack, but a pretty optimistic price for a narrow one. Larry Wexer's had a super clean...

Here’s Matt Otten’s chords in E minor

Thanks Lawson and all the others that replied. It is much appreciated. DB

FedEx is my shipper of choice (for guitars) as well.....

Geez, Joe, you make some beautiful music with this guitar. It looks just like mine I got in the early 2000s; but it sounds so much better in your...

Agreed, they lay it on a bit thick with the marketing hype :-) When all’s said and done, however, I find the app has met and exceeded my...

Yes, I think so too. DB

Thanks. No, it has more controls than that. Bass, treble, mid, vol, master vol, gain, overdrive, reverb, pre amp out .... Mine has the 15" speaker...

The great Michel Petrucciani played it in B minor. There’s never been a better piano version. Michel holds the audience in his hands, the rise, the...

Got you! Me too, he had the sweetest tone. Coltrane said of Getz, “let’s face it, if we could we’d all sound like him.”

Good take. The way I see this guitar is that Julian got to work with a great company to create his absolute dream guitar. A $7,000 instrument for a...

:welcome: "Inna Gadda Davida...." We had a drummer who used to play that drum solo just out of the blue. Audiences loved, the band just considered...

Do you have a guitar that she made? I've heard very good things about her manouche jazz guitars.

also the heavy gauge high tension strings of that vintage era probably contributed to that breakage..these days strings are lighter gauged and lower...

the old ones are made of brass which isn't the strongest metal to begin with, I don't know what they're using today, could be something as weak as...

Sweet design!

yes hopefully the modern era asian made versions are less prone to breakage...and if they do, they are at least a common stock item these days..can...
