The Boho Dance is a such an exquisite, humbling masterpiece in all senses that I wouldn't know where to start. Oh ... it's way too short.

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...

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!

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.

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!

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...

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