This seems very nice! I love my 101R head.

Funny that you mention the part about a horn player with guitar. I recorded some original tunes last year and felt the same thing, it sounded like...

I'm catching up on some versions, and wow great stuff! Graham Bop, just really good. Everything I like: great feel, tone, lines!! Wzpgsr, nice...

This is gonna sell like hotcakes.

Cool John, I've been working on Mike's book for the last 2 weeks. Very nice and well organized! I've always liked how Mike uses diminished material....

Talk about MoJo! Nice. I look forward to watching you play something special for him on it. Hope fully you can share something like that with us....

In All of You it is not minor iv sub I think - it just is minor iv. In major minor Harmonic major... which in classical tradition generally means...

Grahambop: sounds great. As others have said, you seem comfortable at this tempo, lots of cool ideas and phrasing...

The m6 chord is the most common choice for tonic minor before the modal era. But minor triads come up a lot last well. As you say, m6 is dissonant....

Great guitar here!

His left hand is fine. His right hand still has issues, and from what I can see he's still placing it in his right hand with his left (I couldn't...

Your best bet is Monel, it's a nickel alloy that straddles the line between what we think of as "acoustic" and "electric" strings... because that was...

May it bring you many smiles Jack.

Thank you John A. I thought about using a stereo reverb but as I already use the onboard reverb of the amp, maybe it would be too much reverb for...

As mentioned above many effect pedals or boxes will be mono in stereo out. I use a Alesis NanoVerb IV, they are very clean, pro sounding, and middle...

I refused to get serious in a casino once everything got hooked up online to tracking systems. I hired a number of ex-casino IT types in NJ (my...

Besides the Millennial whoop there's the Millennial rap comedy.

Yep! They play the "whoop" tunes at the health club (mercifully no music in the pool area). First time I noticed it was some song encouraging loose...

I think this is the video I saw which mentioned the Ozone Imager plugin: Recording Classical Guitar: Part Two (One Microphone) - YouTube

Hey all, I'm happy to keep thing going, but anybody got some favorites to share?

Yes, I must have been thinking C(add 2) in my head. I got big fingers! (*) In any case, keep the grip in mind for chords further up the neck. ...

Wow, 2 DB videos in one week! :encouragement:

I looked into this recently and someone recommended the Izotope Ozone Imager VST plugin. I managed to get it (can’t quite recall how, I had to set up...

I don't know what to say about casinos. I worked in one. I was a quick study. 5 weeks seemed like 5 years and I did want to keep my job but I...

I wonder what the situation is with Mike's fingers ?...He had an accident a few years ago and he was sticking the pick with glue to his finger. I...

Online, I found a mono recording of solo jazz guitar, and it seems it is possible to make such a recording that is not boring. ...

Thanks mate, really enjoyed your take too, great articulation and fantastic tone

In response to James, the minor 6 chord I find tricky. I’m still trying to get a grip on it, it is not like the major six which is used for when the...

Considering what you descrive I would probably look for some vintage solid top archtop ... but I would not buy over 5K guitar (and even over 0,5 K...

When the single mono signal is duplicated and assigned to the two channels of stereo, it is stereo in the sense of being able to pan it left or right...

Actually you might be right. Maybe "make stereo track" in Audacity is a misleading name. I checked quickly, I can't confirm that it is intended to...

oh good, I bought the right guitar!

I agree. I bought an excellent guitar today because it was a great deal. It's not a joke.shreddin'

Don’t think I didn’t notice when you kicked into shred mode there for a few bars. (That was really cool sounding, by the way...nice contrast to the...

As the resident pop troll around here I'm usually right about trends. Contrived romance is the new thing. It's not entirely contrived but nothing is...

I use some combination of: Stereo Reverb (creates the sense of an overall stereo field) Stereo delay (creates a sense of spaciousness; I...

Part? :redface-new:Only part, yes. Clearly the high end audio community is large. There are many many audio forums that practice reasonably priced...

What a touching story and how beautifully told.

I keep coming back to the basic cycles from slightly different angles. Here's todays edition: Major cycle 2 Drop 2 / Drop 3 / Drop 2 / Drop 3...

Yes, he shows that at 2:15. After you create two identical channels, "make stereo track" converts them into a stereo track. I'm assuming Audacity...

Should the first example be the daunting xx1533 ?

Man, some nice versions at the end of the week! wzpgsr, swinging nicely there...the 125 is VERY cool, imho. Christian, great take...excellent...

Thank you Tal_175, but it’s not a stereo sound in this video. True stereo is when the left channel is different to the right channel. If you have...

thanks. I’m actually really pleased with this one. I’m starting to get more relaxed on these faster tempos (this one is about 240) without being a...

It’s been a while since I listened to that album. It’s a good’un!

And the great Sonny Rollins version: Tune Up (Remastered) - YouTube

Yeah some pedals don't play well with others. The solution is isolated power supplies. It is usually the case with digital pedals like loopers.

Look at how the melody relates to the chord symbol as well; roots do not sound good harmonised by major seventh or minor/major seventh chords.

Oh my. With the 3 fender era voicings, that is something I will have to give serious consideration.

You can do this easily with Audacity: Here is a good video tutorial to turn a mono recording to stereo: How to Change Mono to Stereo in Audacity...

Very interesting. What kind of battery would power it?

Another nifty i chord is an (add 2): Cm(add 2): xx2533 (Eb C D G) or xx12.8.8.8 (D Eb G C)

The hole in the top no big deal(to a player)...the braces cut to fit a humbucker, pretty big deal and make the top potentially unstable.

Remember how deep music use to be? Doggie In The Window - YouTube WITCH DOCTOR (David Seville) 1958 original version - YouTube Although, it is...

I typically use a minor 6th chord as the i chord expect over the melody .

Unless you're playing a really bad instrument, it's the musician . . . not the guitar that makes the sound on an electric guitar. Guitarists are the...

Looks like I answered my own question LOL! I think it has to do with the minor ii V i. Harmonic minor is the scale that’s called for to use over the...

You can even buy theorbo strings! This one is 180cm long: Aquila 120D x 180cm Long Wound Theorbo String - extra long lute string — Early Music Shop

Excellent, thanks for posting. Wish it was longer!

Hi, V, It's really quite simple: a melody with a harmonic complement. . . a pianistic approach to guitar. ...

That's perfection right there.

That's a great story, and those are nice guitars!

Thank you for your nice comment! I actually really love this forum - this is the place where I always learn. I also enjoy the open...

I hope this doesn't start a new psychological disorder on JGF: Guitar Envy. . . ahem . . . . . . . ...

If my guitar weighed 50 pounds I would be looking at alternatives for that as well.

Thanks Christian. By the way, here’s the crazy Sonny Stitt version I listened to for inspiration - I would love to play lines like these! Sonny...

Now and then people end up arguing about the meaning of a term which has no standard definition. It's a hard argument to win, or lose. My...

There's nothing wrong with a woman playing a 17" archtop. :peaceful: I myself happen to prefer 17" archtops over 16" archtops (I guess it's why I...

As you are reading this post does it matter to you whether I used touch typing? Does it matter if I actually know how to touch type but decided not...

i'd rather buy or sell on thegearpage or here or facebook TBH...

So, I actually just had a zoom lesson with Mike Stern yesterday. I wasn't thinking about the book (I'm generally not a book guy), but did ask him...

Nice. You can hear the influence this had on later players.

Nice melodic lines and lots of variety there.

I'm not sure that this equivalence through the altered fifth or aug symmetry is something I wanted to come across for the first time or discover just...

There's always the theorbo :faint:

I've been reading all this more carefully, there's so much useful information in your comments, thanks. Yes, sorry, 4th bar not 3rd. I can...

I don’t think there is a great way to sell online nowadays....too easy for the buyer to put the seller in a bad position through a return and/or...

tailpiece is a Stromberg copy nice looking axe

I used to love buy and sell on Reverb, but after the Etsy buy, as a seller, I had nothing but headaches. I've since deleted my account, and refuse...

Has anyone tried the Blu Ten vs the old version namely 110ER ? Is there a noticeable difference/improvement in the sound?

Excellent!

OK it seems like we should distinguish between different levels of reading b/c I'm not sure if everybody means the same thing by "reading" music. ...

I am not a floater pu guy so if zephyr is wanting a JS style guitar I am the wrong guy. SS has both and also the finest of both worlds to...

I don't recognize it, but it looks like a 17", and I'm assuming solid wood rather than laminate. One thing that's interesting is that the tailpiece...

It seems to me that point about " couldn't read" is irrelevant to the question of whether you or I should learn to read. If any of us were at the...

These are super cool. Looks like an instrument designed by Dieter Rams :cool:

Oh! I thought that was a "great" bass recorder :o

My wife has an old bass recorder, I think she originally got it for a recorder group when she was at school or something. The low notes sound great,...

Another possibility is that instead of a high fret, it's a low fret. If one is lower than the others, it can cause a buzz on the next higher fret,...

I have a regular bass recorder, not nearly as great as the Great ones!

Again, that's not ebay's fault. They capitulate to the credit card companies and almost any credit card company will side with the buyer if the item...

Well done! enjoy it as it is first and get to know it before making any or no changes.

Very nice duo!

Hello, first I wanted to thank Jazzfrog for his great work. I recently acquired a JC-77 and have been servicing it this past week. Replacing...

Yeah, I’m not saying you were wrong of course - over the years I’ve had a couple returns I’ve made due to an ignorant seller not disclosing damage to...

i was corrected yesterday. Apparently, my SIL flew out to CA once before he moved to cleveland. So, I guess that would be akin to me flying to NY,...

That's my trademark "falling down the stairs" lick. It has appeared in my playing only recently. DB

You have to re-educate it. Be fair but strict! :smile-new: DB

I really love the tone van Ruller has.

NICE!!! You're right on the form and really digging into the shape and intricacies of the tune. I love the sound of the tritone subs. Every time you...
