It's their new Veryslim model.

Jim - Can you record with this app?

First of all, simplify it. And write it out clearly! A7 - D7 - A7 - Em7/A7 D7 - Dm7/G7 - A7/Ab7 - G7/F#7 Bm7 - E7 - A7/F#7 - Bm7/E7 ...

Apparently, he and I look alike. I’ve been approached on several occasions by fans requesting autographs. AKA

PM’d you.

I was just starting a fact so the next person didn’t have to look it up. It’s a cool guitar.

As always, the actual function is "tension and release." These different ways of getting back to the tonic are just different flavors of tension and...

This looks very nice!

When you find a lick like this, how do you practice it? Or I guess how do you practice the variations or come up with them or whatever

That collector's relic was about 40 bucks ordered through guitar center in the mid 2000's. It was incomplete to say the least so I have no interest...

if you haven't seen it..a Utube of Luke and Larry Carlton .. so very wild stuff (can't find it right now)

Sarcasm is difficult to discern on forum posts. (… my instincts are suggesting that mr. beaumont is jesting… )

My Epi ES175 is wired that way. It can be disconcerting until you figure out the cause of the silence. But it can be a handy way to kill silence...

I did the math too. Insanely for a very cool guitar. Just need to ditch that floating pickup. Those suck.

Yep, super-solid (and they sound great)! Thx for looking!

His videos are very good. And he has a forum (Woodshed Forum) on Tapatalk where he answers questions from a devoted few. He’s very generous with...

I wasn't going for jazz tones, but I was going for clean, semi-clean, and rock dirt tones. Using a tele and a PRS 2-humbucker. I didn't like it for...

"lukatherknopfler"??? Interesting blend of influences there... (I'm a big Luke guy myself)

Here’s a great tune to start with. It is the first finger picking song I learned, long before the Internet. It’s an example of the basic...

I wonder if you have any examples of the mistakes. At any rate, there are plenty of free videos on YouTube by Stefan Grossman, and others in his...

Agreed. J. Rockett pedals are like tanks. My blue note is a pretty sweet OD box.

I have been trying to contact walkin for days and get no reply by email. Would you share the email address that you used. Thanks, Scott

I did one of the Stefan Grossman books on John Hurt. I learned how to do the alternate bass with my thumb via working on it and seeing other...

You're the one that has to swing, not the backing tracks. If the backing tracks are in time it's not their fault.

Marchione:

Note also the second occurance of G7 is just the tritone of C#7 (III7 of the key). So, Ab-G7-F#7-Bmin7-E7-A7 is just cycle of 4's in A: 7-3-6-2-5-1.

Picked up the Yamaha THR and I love. Might be best gear money Ive ever spent and have only had it for a week. Thanks all for the help. Anyone with...

Thanks for the input! Removing the H would probably require serious damage to the tailpiece, but the option to use a gold 175 sounds good.

I have to admit that i actually came to like the visual appearance of the tailpiece as well as the Heritage headstock and f holes. I did however...

I think there's a relatively recent update that has introduced a drive pedal and compressor.

I was going to say - what's the issue here? Do you need more reasons to replace the heritage tailpiece than its aesthetic offensiveness? I'd have put...

The hole pattern is the same as a 175 tailpiece. I know archtop.com sells gold 175 tp’s. Just another option if you can’t stop the rattle. Maybe...

So, the quarter note stays the same? And you go from 3.5 quarters in a bar to 7 quarters.

We are still a very long way from the day tube amp manufacturers begin advertising that their tube amps sound just as good as their competitors'...

What guitars were you using with it, and in what styles? I ask because I’ve had great success with my archtop doing jazz tones on Katana, and not...

Cool! The thin thing is similar to Marchione's model.

I tried an Katana MkII extensively about a month ago. Couldn't get a good tone out of it- sounded like a can of angry bees. The Roland Blues Cube...

My guess is that it's a production version Pagelli (or a prototype of one). A lot to like.

Kind of looks like a Bambino Elite to me. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Sorry. I meant a bargain.

but why bother?

A Custom shop model ?

it was an auction. it sold for 177000 yen. A steal.

Really Slim.

Nice look. Features from the Pagelli & Pisano. Did you see a price? Maybe in Yen?

As my wife reminds me every time I bring home a new guitar. (Although now stuff is on the way out rather than in. I think we may be on the move...

Wow, I like that a lot.

That's amazing!

Or try the Boss Katana amps. Their Clean amp type is great, and the built-in effects are a bonus. An entire amp can be had for not much more than one...

That is spectacular. You don’t see guitars like this very often. Keith

By the way gitman, one thing I do with my bud 6 is to tilt the amp back with a small onstage wedge and I place a 10x10 plexiglass sheet between the...

Why? Because it sounds good.

ii is just V in second inversion.

Sometimes I wish my bud had an open back cab, so yes I can definitely see the value of this.

Some might say that jazzers playing IImi7 V7 instead of just V7, had a different motivation. Thoughts?

It won't last, hopefully. Anywhere near the Blue Ridge Mountains? Probably not :-)

If it had 7 strings, I’d buy it!

Some of the pictures have been pretty awful. Beijing's much the same only theirs is self-created and perpetual :-)

Nice! Yeah those fourths sound wicked, but it certainly looked like a bear to play.

I was in New York City until last summer. Virginia now. Though actually it was pretty smoky all the way down here too.

To be fair, my description of the type was more nuanced than just the age. I also put a caveat in the end.

It’s just a reverb pedal. Perhaps it colours the sound slightly in a good way, because I find most other reverbs too bright and hissy. This does make...

Well, one of the exercises of a jazz guitarist.

That's fantastic! I'm curious to know more about the guitar they might lend you for this occasion.

That’s because YOU are a gentleman. I’m pumped for you man. You got a world class guitar coming your way. Enjoy it. JD

He did play solo most of the time, or with vocalists like Ella. He probably didn't do much substitution playing with other instruments.

why? Soloing without a rhythm section allows you to play these chord substitutes.

I seriously can't stop playing this on repeat! Killer playing, this solo is crazy.

Bump! Don't hesitate to offer :)
