So are you guys doing the homework or not? Too bad we can't delete threads on our own. Bahaha. Not many augmented chords in the real book. It's...

I have thought that viol style design would be uncomfortable on an instrument resting on your leg, and that this is why Torres and others designed...

Gruhn Guitars PRS Hollowbody 10 top 2005 (and only 4.9 lbs. ! Sorry, I was having trouble posting the pic.

And some nice melodic minor chords … it’s hiding in the min(maj7) and 9#11

They're in there, usually disguised as Dominant 7#5 chords.

I couldn't decide, beauty is in the eye as they say, but here's two that are lookers for me: That's a 1980s Fender Japan "Sonny" Telecaster...

What’s the deal with augmented chords? There’s like, none in the real book but my big band charts have a ton of them.

I’m going to have to delete this whole thread, aren’t I.

My 48 D'Angelico Style B is a close second for me:

JD, as always, many thanks for letting me be the caretaker of the "HDA".

You have to skip, no? 3rd 5th 7th 9th etc

This L-5 has to be the prettiest guitar I have. Previously owned by our dear departed brother, David Adams (jazzkritter), I feel blessed to have...

Nah...

The most simple way of thinking contrary motion is to think of wider intervals, 2nds to 3rds to 4ths, to 5ths, to 6ths to 7ths, to ev8ths, 9ths,...

Yeah the thing that really hit me about Echols stuff was the way he broke the chording down into his discrete set of skills. Pathfinding,...

Here's an example that uses the same contrary motion 'filling out' pattern. I think this is a little move BH used to teach in his class. Try the CM...

The Cherry Sunburst Mark Campellone Special gets my vote for prettiest guitar so far.#2 goes to the electric Trenier 16” light sunburst!

There’s one on Reverb at the moment Jack

According to current beauty pageant criteria, as specified earlier in this thread, my best looking guitar is a tenor banjo. I like elaborate banjos...

I remember that we almost made that happen, Darren!

I agree that Echols has presented the "elevator" systematically in a useful way. But there's not much new under the sun. Have a look at page 76 of...

I wantedd that sucker quite badly. For me in my short time in this Jazz guitar world, a late 90s/early 2000s Gibson L-5 in sunburst is the pinnacle.

This is near the top for me. So, so very nice.

And here's the Tonex One via the Triggs New Yorker. By the way, the Tonex is way hotter than the TC; I had to turn the input gain down a good bit....

All that has been said about the awkwardness and difficulty of the software for the Tonex is inarguable. But for me, once I achieve the sounds I...

Yes, the best looking guitar I ever owned too..

One of my absolute favorite floaters!

Not a conventional beauty but I think this is just a gorgeous little guitar.

The body binding is cracked all around and the deterioration of the binding has stained the wood. Unfortunately, many Ibanez guitars from that era...

Here’s the L5. I have no regrets about parting with it, but damn it was pretty!

And here I was, thinking I was going to watch a movie tonight.

Runners up, in no particular order include my Martin 0000 28-45; Kharash flamenca blanca, and the Gibson L5 CES I sold a few years ago:

It’s gotta be my Trenier Model E, but I have a few close runners up:

I haven't gone too deep or had time to dig in and make bunch of 'language' but I have written out a few things. I think you can get pretty far with...

Immigration reform is different than “a caravan of rapists and murderers are invading our borders” That was my point. I pretty much agree with the...

is this for playing at home only ? or for playing out ?

Supporting the deportation of the vast majority of illegal immigrants is just logical and common sense if one believes in the concept of citizenship....

Yes, a Mark C, at my dream lake......

The seller says the guitar has "only minor binding chips". Pictures would be helpful to support this claim.

Sweet GB10NT. The serial number (K789070) looks like it may be a 1978 model. Also, how about a shot of the rear of the body, including the heel.

It gets easier. Just stick with it. It’s a good tool if you have to solo without another chordal instrument.

i'm referring to actually editing and interactively using the tonex to change tones. It's super awkward because you can't edit the sounds live. Both...

With the TC you have a few knobs, one basic sound, you can figure out the pedal in a few minutes. With the Tonex One you have literally hundreds...

If I posted all my red guitars, I'd never get close to picking one. They're all contenders. But if I had to narrow it down on prevailing beauty...

Wow very nice guitar.

Well said. This is annoying as fuck. Should we stereotype all secularists by the transgressions that those in their group commit? We'd have a field...

The Tonex One has one output, but you can plug your headphones into it and hear the output in both ears, or you can go directly into an amp. And the...

To view Christmas realistically and positively, it's a familial holiday and religion is incidental. Some people embrace it as a time to celebrate...

That's a really clean example. Appears to be no damage from gassing of the pick guard. And that road case nice!:smile-new:

The third guitar is Nashville legend Leon Rhodes! Roy’s guitar is a Byrdland he was very familiar with.

Bearing in mind that the original thread is 9 years old and is now a zombie... Acoustic Image is gone, the founder and main guy having passed...

There was the steel guitar player. The start of the video confused me, since I didn't know there was a steel guitar player. I was watching...

A Biltoft CC is one of those things I intended to get years ago but never got around to, in part because I couldn't decide which guitar to put one...

Wow a thread from almost 10 years ago! I was new to the forum and I had 4 RE Cabs back then. I still have one, a Rich Raezer built Stealth 12 ER...

The TC is more "present" than the Tonex; it sounds like it's right here with me whereas the Tonex sounds like it's in a different room.

The biggest gang responsible for sexual abuse of minors is the Catholic church.

Hold up a mirror and you're looking at it. It's not Reagan GOP, those are RINOs now because of how extreme the GOP has gone. All the stuff you talk...

I was hoping someone was going to say it. Those new ones share are pretty, and it is great to see fully hollow guitars once again from Gibson.

Third guitar player, I think.

What is on the rings on that beautiful dot neck?

I have both an Acoustic Image Clarus (with A Raezers Edge Twin-8) and an Acoustic Image Corus (with an extra AI extension speaker). I love them both...

I concur with the above, no question about it...

There are times when less is more. I'm just a sucker for herringbone trim and Brazilian rosewood. ca. 1977 Gurian 3H2SB:

God bless his soul.

Yamaha SA2200, has coil splitting. Better quality and looks for lower price.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2VdJ3oh_JQ

the tc has 3 outputs 1) speaking modeling 2) no speaker modeling 3) headphones

didn't find that true in my experience and the tonex reverb didn’t really sound great to me and the user interface was awful

I have a brand new spare amp board for a JMUL here in Toronto, if by chance you have it checked out and the amp board is the problem. I have 2...

Thank you for the compliment. I like that there is no place to hide in acoustic slide playing. This aspect helps reinforce the visceral aspects of...

Yeah, that and the sort of half-herringbone purfling. The detail on this guitar is ridiculous. It was a very lucky find. Your 575 is beautiful,...

I just did something spontaneous too. Since you guys are going with video, I did the same. Here is 4:15 of what was on my heart at the moment. Now...

I’ve been using P4 tuning for 8 years now (before that, I spent 15 years in standard tuning). IMHO, it’s perfect for jazz because it’s a style that...

I opened the coffin of my rescue Tal and snapped a photo, not realizing my specter would haunt it. Beauty or kitsch - your call. This 2011 mint...

These are fun. Are you tuned to anything in particular or was that randomized?

I love the slide effects... In another thread a newer movie by Wim Wenders was mentioned, which got me thinking about a recent conversation I had...

I am an Anglican. Would anyone like a slice of cake? https://youtu.be/unkWbEmtYXs?si=j2_61V8h8i2gppM3

Why do you regret it? All standard guitar tutorials/books/methods/lessons etc have to be transposed to P4 tuning. Learning most standard Guitar...

As you mentionned Thomann, I'd consider a Heritage 535, they have some, and their return policy is top notch

Ok, Like Marco I have the D'angelico ii Heritage Ghost Built. Hard to argue about the looks it sounds too. However, I will leave the final decision...

Wow! Turns out this is quite tricky, even on easy mode (slow temp, two bars on, two bars off).

Sometimes it is simple though. Here's an analysis of the first eight of confirmation with a red circle around everything that's a chord tone of the...

Why do you regret it? Why don’t you go back to standard tuning again?

My gosh, I've never seen such a beast. Thats amazing, Chuck

Naturally. I'm wondering whether to remake it, shorter.. https://youtu.be/_Ql60f49LaQ The harmonic analysis is usually straightforward if you...

Simple to you maybe, but someone who does not know theory will not agree. As you well know, there are many ways to harmonize a turnaround - or back...

Don't think I disagreed with any of this?

It should be mentioned that there is faith in a higher power based primarily on direct experience, rather than on intellectual belief, as in Yoga. ...

These are very good points. Actually a lot of good points on things I am ignorant of from you and DawgBone.

Done so well? Wasn’t it indeed. That is a stunner.

Nice playing HiFi and Jeff.

Well you were talking about harmonic analysis. Melodically it can get a little hairy, but it’s still pretty predictable once you get cooking. ...

I never play the odds or gamble. I am a child of God. I try not to be bully about it though. I respect your thinking on that. Its honest, and that’s...

Oh, that was very nice, Jeff. And please let us not be deluged with YouTubes. We know where to find them if we want them.

Yep. Secularists in a nutshell. But don't forget they occupy the moral high ground too. :smile-new:

Yep. Plus actually having a relationship with JC. :eek:

With regards to the odds: About 10 years ago I changed how I answered the question related to faith; I used to say I was agnostic. I changed my...

Bop is very often quite simple harmonically. Where it less obvious it’s usually the result of some substituted chord (such as tritone) or...

Sat down at lunch today and did this. Looking forward to doing some listening to you all now.

Problem is, boppy things & simple analysis are not on speaking terms with one another. But perhaps Christian's next video, "A Simple Analysis of...
