The Paris sessions were recorded on March 27, 1965.

Hi, C, I am a firm believer in listening to what you like not what you "should" like. I had a friend in the past that thought Bartok was the...

Jens Larsen had a YouTube video on how to play a descending line of downwards triad arpeggios; rather than playing in position, he stayed on the same...

I assume these sessions were done around the same time (on the same trip), as the Paris sessions. Do you know what the list of tunes are? I...

Oh boy, seems like I made my decision: the coolest one (the 1959 with 1 pickup) is leaving. The P90 guitar and the mahogany humbucker guitar are...

I can't give you a single recommendation for learning jazz, but having come from a similar background and interest I have to disagree with some of...

Sometimes happiness without success...

Ouch! Of course, the price! How amateur can one be! Now it is added. Thank You for a polite correction!

I listen to CJRT Toronto here in NY state, comes in great at home and in the car from across Lake Ontario. They tend to play plenty of guitar stuff....

The coil split is a stock feature. You pull one of the knobs. I believe it splits both pickups.

We need a price or it is not for sale.

Luscious. :cool:

I'm learning the song now to hopefully post before the end of the month, and I agree that the harmonies are odd when you separate them from the...

The bassist isn't bad. :smile-new:

Nah .... He always sounds like that in my experience ... Absolutely stellar player tho https://youtu.be/yKjICNdWamk

Wow! Lovely guitar. Epiphone had it going on when they built this lovely creature! Good luck with the sale. Shouldn't take long.

I also have the GCS-1. Super cool guitar and pretty versatile. GLWTS!

Nice guitar, but it Might show better if you clipped the ends of the strings from the tuners! Ugh! And, It's helpful to list a price, as is...

I bought a used one long time back. Same es in blonde. I think it is serial 1 or a prototype or something. Anyway the original owner put in some...

Well earnt! Well deserved! Long may it continue! Congrats!

The hiss is due to stacked gain stages. I actually replaced a few ICs (M5218L) and the coupling capacitors (capacitors between gain stages to...

FYI... Here are the details of the complete sessions. The NDR (German public radio) is going to release an audio CD this month. NDR JAZZ...

I only have reports from US stations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thank you. Of course, if the harmonies sound a bit weird in places it's because it IS weird in places. Not my fault!

I don’t know. I can find out. You could send in a request!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Jensen's new Blackbird 40 AlNiCo is superb.

Magnificent! Good luck with the sale! :encouragement:

Thank you John! Thanks lawson!

Cool, where does she describe these? (i.e. what course or book) Thx.

Your solo really sings. Like kris, I loved the quote at the beginning though I couldn't remember where it came from (Thanks Kris for the ID!). Your...

I'm very happy with an Eminence Legend 1058 (75 watts) of very clean tone. It sounds amazing in my 18 watt '82 Super Champ. They also make a 35...

Next stop, Austin TX. What's that instrument in the penultimate pic?

I like "Loud".

Awesome, congratulations! Do you know if you're being played on CJRT 91.1 Toronto?

I vote Lute!

Really nice one. I was afraid I might not be able to listen to that long a take, but it held my attention. That guitar sounds great, too. John

"Let's make 'em wonder!"

Nice Solar quote. Overall, good feel, good tone, good ideas. John

Thank you kris!

Nicely played, an enjoyable listen!

I'll put Robert Conti on my list to check out. Thanks for that recommendation. I actually started with Barry Greene's site and its impressive how its...

. Lol, yes, jazz that clears the room:)

Thanks Blue! Joe

Lovely.

They skipped G?!

My background is similar. I play a lot of bluegrass mandolin and guitar and love flat picking. Do you know your drop 2 voicings yet? See below. Great...

I don't think an "Ok Boomer" was ever more appropriate :D There is so much young talent out there but ofcourse you need to want to see it.

Jimmy Bruno also breaks down his "major scale as a starting point methodology" in his two Hot Licks DVDs. Great stuff.

Nice guitar for a good price. I’ll ask around and see if anybody I know is in the market.

Cool mood.The quote from Solar Miles Davis at the beginning draws attention and encourages listening. Best Kris

Losers? Lurkers?

Thanks for watching ! My solo was a clear case of selfdefense knowing I was up before Weckl and Bill Evans did their duo thingie... :smile-new:

If I may jump in again regarding Bruno's "syllabus". I'd break it down like this: Woodshed the five fingerings (down from the 6 or 7 in the...

She shows that immense talent, creativity and hard work lead to success but not necessarily happiness.

She lookin’ pretty Fly with that guitar... I’ve never seen her with that. Concert recorded in ‘98–one of her last live performances, I think. ...

agree, no sparkle, sounds like someone threw a blanket on his amp. but Ulf's an outstanding player, maybe that's his preference or maybe just this...

No point playing the tune, too long, too boring. Just an exercise in getting round the chords, take one, no sweat, no injury, no going mad. Simple. ...

Here's my contribution: Any comments welcome.

I i actually meant the Sheryl Bailey thing, but the diminished symmetry thing is also super useful.

Don't get me wrong, I admire Ulf Wakenius. And I like that he always plays his budget friendly guitar. But with this kind of tone, with all the...

Interesting to read that! I've been walking the jazz path only a couple of years and it's one of the most profound and practical ideas I've...

Surely the crucial symptom is that with the selector in the middle position the bridge pot works as expected but the neck pot can kill the output...

Nice playing Paul, Best Kris

Because it is a pretty neutral and thus expressive pickup.

I enjoy the small size, the feedback friendliness of the Les Paul, and these days it's easy to get a chambered, light weight model. But they are...

Long take but really nice.:smile-new:

Yes, but what a beautiful melody ...:smile-new:

It's the little things. A little less 'drama'. Not everything that is OK is 'great'. The fact that Jens is not a native English makes it easier to...

Nice lines! Basically it’s any chords diatonic to the dominant scale, right? Any of these can be used in dominant and they all sound great. ...

He is not above the law! He IS above the the law.

Maybe they thought they were building Lutes!

yup! Thanks Bill! I spoke with Kit already and I’m on the waiting list; should something turn up. Thank you!

Years ago I heard that it stood for Lang. After that, I found out it was Loar. Now, I find out that both were wrong. This situation is...

Absoluuuuutely. More than a few things changed in the 1960s.

very nice...& great plains audio was the place for altec speaker restorations!! it'd make a great combo cab cheers

Thanks, yea, I didnt think the setup very well, put the laptop too far from the phone, next time maybe put the backing track into PA.

Groove is great. Note choices are melodic and harmonically interesting. Puts me in mind of Wes. Great job!

Outstanding take.

That's actually very helpful to know about the AW program with Stryker and the program from Jens. I follow his Youtube Channel and his Patreon stuff....

The L series was Gibson's first production line introduced circa 1902 consisting of 4 models, well before Loar arrived at Gibson. Not sure what it...

Still a huge fan of my original lunchbox...when I use a reverb pedal with it. I'll probably end up with one of these. Thanks for the review.

I picked up this beauty with a birdseye maple top last month and had a Luthier make me a close copy of Bruce's (D'Aquisto style) tailpiece in ebony. ...

Nice that you're making progress. You mind giving me an idea how his "syllabus" is structured? He doesn't show much as to what you'll get in there....

Thanks. Solid advice for a long-term outlook. I already made some fine tuning to my routine.
