Lawson-stone, "my phrasing on the tune is possibly not as natural" Actually, no! I really enjoyed your phrasing here. You paid attention to...

Lawson - I think there's no doubt that for chord melody players, aside from those who have other responsibilities, it takes time to get there...

Pix, you say? How about a 1937 Advanced L-12, like the one that needs frets. This one doesn't need new frets - it was already refretted, and they are...

Pics, you say? How about a 1934 L-12 with not just picture frame inlays, but the wreath pattern rarely seen on an archtop? (It’s available by the...

Great neighborhood... I’ll have to check it out!

I have not tried the latest Gibson T-Type pickups, but have read several less than complimentary opinions over on the Les Paul Forum and TGP forums. ...

7th and Fitzwater, in the Bella Vista neighborhood.

What a great mural! I recognise Eddie Lang & Bing Crosby. Is that Lonnie Johnson on the left at the back and Paul Whiteman on the right at the back?

See you’re in Philly. Very cool. Where is it located? Thx.

Visually I like this one. But it's 8 pounds 5 ounces. How can a 14 7\8 inch hollow guitar with a balsa center block be that heavy? 2006 Gibson...

The Seymour Duncan Phat Cat is available and in-stock on Amazon at $90.

Here's my first run at the tune+improv chorus. This tune was new for me, though I'd heard it before, so my phrasing on the tune is possibly not as...

The Vintage Vibe was already on my radar and I know "Pete" gets v. good feedback in general. Their CC Rider is not for an HB slot, I think. I'm also...

That is the thing isn't it .. That green and black combo is a bit meh .. Reminds me of something like this Green and gold is cool :)

Funny enough, after reading and replying to this thread, some time later I noticed a hum on mine. It was when I was playing with headphones late one...

I've never heard of Nacho but I have a Collings and a Slaman (and Trenier, plus other stuff, not to mention the Buscarino, Andersens and others that...

Congrats beautiful Epi and nice playing. Enjoy.

I was pretty happy with the Lollar CC HB size.

Needs an abalone rose on the guard.?

Hi Kris, yes, I’m using a green screen and the software that make removes the background is Davinci Resolve.

plus collecting the cork can be fun too!! haha cheers

His Blues Comping course is great. How is the Billies Bounce? From the description it appears to be basic jazz blues?

Very nice! I have only seen one gold FHC before. It was on a ‘59 Super 400C that was for sale near me. Sadly, I let it get away. Keith

C74, I got a chuckle out of that one. JD

Great price! IMO, it would look even better with gold hardware. I have no problem with trans-green finishes, especially on beautiful archtops.

Copper oxidizes to green but goes through a state of reddish brown on the road to there as can be seen on copper roofs. If one wants a matte brown...

Now, THAT's a rare Dearmond.

Nah man, don't feel about bad about asking the question. I did a similar thing to some friends and my tech when I refretted my L-12. Having never...

Inded, I bought it as an L-12 and I am really happy with it as such. I was actually looking for an L-7, but this one popped up and I grabbed it. It...

Cork is a wonderful odd-sound dampener. I too, have cork in the nooks and crannies of the Frequensator, as well as other guitars. I have a collection...

While we're talking about DeArmonds, does anyone know how the nickname "monkey on a stick" came to be?

I hope it works well for that. I had 3 crowns put in early in 2020. I'd like to avoid any unplanned visits to the dentist for a long time...

I wonder if it was special ordered.

I couldn't resist and tried again ! Crescent - John Coltrane - Aebersold Volume 27 - YouTube

Lotta guys are color blind. Or leprechauns.

Come over here and play it while we have a beer!

Nice photo but it doesn't make me want a Newark, it makes me want a 50s Guild. :p

How about and acoustic L5 with a Rhythm Chief 1100? I have all three models of De’Armonds (FHC, 1000 and 1100). They are all great sounding pickups,...

Hehe! One important detail on the korean Newark St. Guilds: they‘re really thin coated. No comparison to (proline) Gretsches. I‘m a sucker for...

I have a KA 12 pole floater on my Loar LH650 and it is indeed a very nice pickup. Thicker than the average floater and the sound is stronger. I'm...

^ aforementioned trumpeter tony fruscella with stan getz blue bells cheers

Lawson, You were not an idiot at all. You probably helped out another musician who couldn't afford the full price. To me that's you being a very...

Nice DB, Tal’d be liking that! d

Bm Estate - Chet Baker & Philip Catherine.wmv - YouTube

Wow, that's incredibly fast. If I ever get another guitar shipped to me, I'd go Fedex.

I have the MBII of that same vintage. Last version prior to the "Sonic Circuit" generation. I actually have two so I can use one for parts if the...

It reminds me of the green 6196 in Cadillac Green from Gretsch. I like it. If I had the disposable income, I might do that. Too bad I don't have...

Wow! Martin Taylor’s tone as ideal in a prog-rock setting! That was unexpected... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I use Movavi video editor plus.It has easy editing of audio-normalize,eq.,volume control etc.

I do indeed have a monarch, but wondered if I'm missing something the EER could supply? How's that for crazy!! You have converted me, btw, to...

That really depends on your level of playing and how much discretionary time you have. For middling player like myself, with a full time job and...

One month for one tune is nothing. You have to practise jazz tunes all life.

I see it as more tunes to do. Can only be good :-) (A month for one tune is quite long)

Thanks. That's right. It's a patch on an ME80. Octave lower, but only a little bit. I think there's some drive in there too but, again, only a...

Today i took the head home and i am only learning how to setup the thing but it feels just perfect for me right now and the speaker works nice at...

Bareknuckle.

Preference #1: Acoustic with no pickup Preference #2: Acoustic with a Dearmond FHC.

Freddy, Its good that you identified the problem and sorted it out. I love your sound on it. Its nice to have a guitar that you dont worry about. ...

Roli, Thank You sir! I played my EER against the wall the other day, so I could her the acoustic sound and it was quite nice. Pretty full. Louder...

Collings guitars are unreal, just as Stout said. The factory setup is the best you will ever see and the neck shapes are perfect. They are also...

You are a mans man.. JD

I don't see why anyone should see it that way at all. There has only been one comment that implied that, but otherwise I imagine people who like to...

I really hope people don't see the "jam session" thread as taking away from the practical standards...that was not my intention at all.

No worries - it's a friendly crowd here for the most part. Welcome!

Seymour Duncan P-Rails will give you several options in a humbucker size. Or a DiMarzio Bluesbucker.

Exactly the way I feel. I'd want a 6196 in Cadillac Green.

To each his own. I don't understand why anybody would say no to the versatilty of the two pickup version. Lot's of tonal shades to draw from the two...

Some of you may laugh but I actually prefer a non cutaway acoustic L-5 with a DeArmond FHC pickup. Nice and warm while maintaining low tones. ...

Don't know of their stocking, but I've really enjoyed using the Seymour Duncan Phat Cat. Really nice P90 tone in a humbucker mount.

I haven't deserted either. I've been working on the melody, especially since I wasn't familiar with the tune at all. I also hope to up the tempo a...

Longtime lurker, but I miss jam sessions. Still not crazy about this take, the notes aren't crispy enough. Warts and all: Whisper Yes by Irez87...

Great video!The quality is exelent.Nice playing. Are You working with green screen technology?

Sold!
