First of all I like your playing, you have a good sense of rhythm and you know how to make your instrument sing. And that is the point for me. Listen...

I've always been more interested in "crossover" guitars than in pure, traditional classicals, and back when I was researching what I'd buy as my 1st...

Sounds like some nice stuff, hope you can find time to get to it.

Answering for myself, I would say true legato, as in smooth and connected. As opposed to guitar “legato” which is more properly referred to as...

Do you mean legato making notes longer or legato as in picking and then pull off/hammer on multiple notes. Sure, I'll take a look at it. Give...

I agree with the too heavy "pick attack/touch"; both played pretty nice but the picking sounds really hard. My advice is to get some Jim Dunlop .75mm...

Thanks Derek!

I haven't really gotten to this, working on too many things at once. However, looking at the original lead sheet for the tune, I noticed that the...

Right you are, BT, too staccato, o.k. for rock 'n roll but not jazz.

I know that this thread concept has run out of steam but I am still working on these cause I like doing it. It's forcing me to stick with something...

Subjective, of course, but here goes:

I believe that's J287. That top came from one of the best pieces of wood I ever came across. It was a massive piece of bubinga that had a hilarious...

Why do you have to lighten your pick attack? My view is that it's not only an attack issue but a rhythm and articulation issue too. When you...

It's Walkin' (or Sid's Ahead, Weirdo or Gravy). The tune is credited to a shadowy underworld figure, Richard Carpenter - not Karen's brother and...

Been happy with the Narex set though I really don't put them through their paces like a real woodworker would. As for sharpening, I think Japanese...

Similar, but not the same as the turnaround to Jimmy Raney/Kenny Burrell's "Blue Duke."

Agree with Grahambop and Cunamara – look at the score. In the measure before the final chord, there is a final dominant: an Am spelled out by the...

This one…

Fender's Serial Number Look Up web-page is back online (finally) and surprise, surprise, it returns "No results" for the serial number of this Tele (...

It’s the one with the bubinga top. I think you mentioned that it was the first Single 15” you built. Fantastic sounding and playing guitar!

Rob, I am intrigued by your message. Could you please elaborate a little more on what you mean by "crossover stuff" and "a lot more than flamenco"? I...

what can you say about this guy.. in his other vids he does the same with classical blues rock fusion and "jazz" I hope producers dont add...

To be clear, Rich sells or sold new Heritages. He sells used instruments too. Nonetheless, he still put the swanky L-5 as his second favorite. ...

Yes, the Westone is a very heavy guitar. I need to get to a store with a good number of archtops in different sizes and weights. There are a couple...

Which one do you have?

Have you tried various types of picks? That's the first thing I'd do before considering more radical changes, as the density and thickness of one's...

o.k. Rob, but gee, that's like going from one extreme to another size wise, not sure it'll help you gauge the appropriate size. Is weight a factor...

Cheers, Mick. I have an Epiphone Les Paul at home. On my next day pass I’ll try it out. Not quite what I was hoping to play. I might try a tele shape...

That's a real shame! :grumpy: Looks like a big guitar from the pictures though (and heavy too?). I suspect that if you try a few different...

Sounds great to me. Lovely tone and groove! Derek

You could get several hours from even an alkaline 9v at a max draw of 300ma. Lithium longer, but if plugging in is convenient, nothing wrong with...

The Soloway guitar lives on! I recently let go of my Gibson ES-175 and gifted my Heritage Eagle to a nephew who is playing jazz now. The only...

From the Gibson Brand Forums: Well I finally got my N-225 Natural tonight. I literally got off the plane from my honeymoon in Mexico and went...

9v but current usage likely precludes a standard battery. I use a 1 spot and it can power an additional 10-12 pedals

I love my EG250 with a Metro, and I don’t think it’s too big to sit on the little platform. As much as I loved my SBUS, the Metro needs a bigger...

Well, the Westone PO501 arrived, and my wonderful wife put it in a taxi and brought it to my hospital room. First impression: stunning guitar for...

I suspect that Rich uses the phraseology in order to make it sound like he's not being paid to promote things. If he says he is endorsed by a...

My first access to the Tolkien universe was The Hobbit. I love those illustrations by GDR graphic artist Klaus Ensikat. DuckDuckGo

Great price for a Bellido. Looks in great condition. Flamenco guitars are better - in my opinion - for crossover stuff than classical guitars. They...

No no! That would be bad elves. Bad hobbits are just hard to shake.

OMG this means you are orks!!!

It's a 9v 300ma input, same as a regular pedal. Theoretically, it could be powered by a 9v battery with an appropriate plug, I suppose. That might be...

I bet on usage drift in this case rather than Rich Severson not knowing what he agreed to.

How is this powered? It would be great if it took batteries.

Music from Brad's new album (the album is great by the way!) and an interview with Neon Jazz.

Why complicate it? Gmaj9: 1 5 3 5 maj7 9. Yes, it's also a D triad over a G triad, but it's purpose as the final chord is resolution so it's just...

Use it into a powered pa cab

Seems very Un-Gibson, but then, not too far from,

Usage drift perhaps (I try not be too prescriptive about it), but saying “company endorses artists” clearly inverts the meaning. My money is on...

Having watched a number of Rich's videos, I can't say that any of those were a surprise. They're all guitars that he has featured previously and has...

Awesome!

It's not that people don't understand what it means, I think it's a term used loosely to indicate an artist/athlete having an endorsement deal with a...

Does it have a 3”, or 3.5” depth?

That’s a lot of guitar for the money!

Thanks Allan!

Do you use the '65 as a DI box, or as a pedal into a different amp?

I guess he doesn't understand the word "endorse" either (or college, it would seem). The whole point of artist/athlete/celebrity endorsements is...

I've used my LJ for maybe three years in multiple environments. I have never heard any noteworthy hiss (caveat: I do have some high frequency loss,...

Great playing!

I know, but I can’t believe how quick and efficient he is! He knocks out 6 archtop’s in no time!

Sounds nice, I like the little trills and things you added to the head. The solo had a good flow to it.

Still, there’s absolutely no shame he chose the Golden Eagle number one. It is a smaller body that makes it more comfortable for some. 3 Gibsons and...

That would really depend from where you measure the length and, in practice, on the shape of the fingertips (= how much "overhang" that length...

Ipanema is a singer's tune y'all, you gotta be ready to play that shit in F# or D and a half or just shy of B or whatever the singer wants.

This is so true. With a little creativity, those licks sound so modern too.
