I never turn gigs down unless it's a lousy band or the pay doesn't warrant me loading gear in my ride. Never know when you'll be sitting around just...
Solid! Jim Hall introduced us to each other in the mid 90's, I've been playing his guitars since. Here's another nice interview with Henriksen amps ...
Yea... when I was a kid I would take different books and then notate out different possibilities that could be developed from their concepts.... say...
No... I watched the vid... was aware of some of the history, not all... but maybe you misunderstood me. Sorry.... I like drawing out geeky details. I...
Thanks yet again. Suggests that the problem I was hearing was that there was too much voltage for the mic setting of the SRM350. I'll have to hook it...
Actually, I think it was much closer to '82 when Maneater was a hit. That made me 15'ish and discovering the truth (ahem) in those lyrics so hearing...
I don't think the PM100 is very thunky to begin with, but the CC makes it a bit airy and a little woody, along with a touch of hum of course. It's a...
Second paragraph on page 84 may explain it."b9 is a shorthand symbol for all three alterations found in the scale". He also mentions that there's no...
I think at least one reason TI strings have a softer feel is that the core is smaller than many other brands. TI sizes metric, and markets gauges to...
In case someone does not want to wait so long on a Creamery: I am planning to try out one (or maybe even two) of those non-boutique non-handmade PUs...
Seems like you judged the book by the cover. This video is about the history of the notation as we have it today and why it is still the best way and...
In short, if I work on something for a period of time and I feel like the purpose of why I was working on that concept didn't come to fruition, I now...
The hard part is having taste, once you get the major scale down, add a blue note, learn to slide into the 3rd and 6th boom, you're Lester Young. If...
I really don't know what to report. I don't have enough superlatives. IMHO this amp is the ultimate gig amp for jazz or anything else. The tone/sound...
No need to worry. SS hasn’t owned every Heritage built archtop. How long did Heritage build those archtop’s? And how many are still in circulation? I...
So is the instrument the actual important thing as, well, as it’s actual tonal properties? Or the construction methods used in the process of making...
These Creamery pickups are hand-made, one at a time, and there is a waiting list. It's my favourite pickup. When I ordered it I had a guitar in mind,...
Going with the idea that the round core strings have less tension and the ones I prefer are Thomastik roundwounds bebops. These are great but they do...
That ^ is a Viennese-style guitar, meaning from the time of Giuliani & Schubert. There were a few variations, some with one "floating" string, or up...
I definitely would not say broken braces are common on vintage guitars. I would say it’s actually quite rare. Loose braces are a little more common,...
