You're right. It was wrongly listed so I've deleted it. But the Jimmy Rowles one (and it is him on piano) is a different arrangement. Sounds to me...

LOL. Take it easy Lawson. You are well provided for in the guitar department. Still, an ES 300 is always a good idea! DB

Isn't that weird? I've seen people do that (only in big cities, though), and just can't imagine how they didn't sink through the floor from...

I'm 59 now and have started playing publicly at age 13 (music school events) , going pro at 24. Quite a long time and many mistakes, many bad gigs,...

I guess the market for these slip-on covers is simply not attractive enough. I had asked the friendly people at "Studio Slips" case covers in...

Tim Pearce can make EVERY guitar sound sweet and lovely , he's got the hands, the ear and the heart but you're right, the combination of this player...

I screw it, it's been posted a zillion times, but I can't help myself .. Remember that Jazz is mistakes! (at 1:52) Spinal Tap on Jazz - YouTube

A $10 stretch cover like the ones used for luggage or surfboards will do swell. Why hasn't someone made them for guitar cases?

I guess I just try to get over it, learn whatever can be learned from it, make necessary adjustments. If it can't be easily improved now it can...

Andertons UK already have them for sale since they made the promotional video. Brexit hasn't happened yet, so yeah, the UK is still part of the EU. ...

Cool !!! Thanks .... Agreed on all counts. Toninho has contributed so much to the language and many people don`t realize that they are hearing his...

The Chord Dictionary is especially helpful, and free.

Unless you haven’t forwarded to the third chorus when I attempt to play the melody I certainly hope it’s you. If you have, please explain what you...

I'm always well prepared, so it's never a train wreck, but I make mistakes all the time, because I play all the time. I'm probably the only one that...

It's a simple concept, If you are deriving something of value by using someone elses property, they are entitled to control and compensation as the...

I don’t care about the amp in a room bit but wireless practice headphones fit my needs perfectly. When will they be released in Europe? Will it be...

Is it me, I don't really hear the melody to Donna Lee, so correct left hand fingering is a moot issue.

Didn't Sco play a wizard in the last Harry Potter movie?

I’m not a fan of headphone practicing, but Rockman Guitar Ace is a great headphone amp. It’s not often I’m using it, maybe just a few times a year....

You can do more than watch, my man -- join in the fun!

The stereophonic trickery of "amp in the room" is a flawed premise; one feels the air pressure of an amp in the room as much as one hears it. You...

I think that one's still Herbie. The solos sound to me like they are still playing a DbM7. Wayne plays a pentatonic several times, starting on...

Watching.

I think you are right about supposing it means "resolves to". The other terminology what is in use is "gravitates to" which is a bit more expressive...

I wouldn't consider myself a pro yet. But there was one time where I had to learn a setlist of around 10 songs (pop oriented) for around 5 days - a...

Right then, it begins! Garrison Fewell's Melodic Approach - Ch 1-2

When you go to the menu to select the style of your choice in BiaB it will allow you to choose between EV and sw. EV = 16ths sw = triplets

Reviewing Chapter 2 I see a big emphasis on fingerings alongside a tune to play along. I'm pretty confident by the end of january most if not all us...

Most of the pros I admire play sets that seem perfect. But, some of the pros I admire, and other players admire, names you'd know, flub notes. I...

I have no idea, honestly , but he is awesome at answering emails. Shoot him one about this, and please update when you get clarification. Thanks.

sorry—yes, I meant each beat. I’ll edit it to reflect that. Thank you! I’ll search for this

A pickup and a brace. The WESMO is brighter with a more acoustic tone. The CES is fatter and darker and has more tonal options.

I think you mean each BEAT. Google "band in a box triplet resolution/swing"...

It's the smell of magic smoke escaping. If too much escapes, the amp dies. The magic smoke can escape via burned resistors or overheating...

In the US, when you praise a guy too much, it can make him uncomfortable and maybe even think you are up to no good. So, I am going to just stick...

what difference between those 2?

Indeed! The transcription I worked from was from tedgreene.com. Some of Ted's charts have been generously interpreted into standard notation which I...

stereo guitar, while set up intensive, is one of the great sounds...a gibson 345 or 355..and/or stereo rics (like the 360)...split the signal so that...

I was fortunate enough to catch a private lesson with him in Seattle a few years ago ... that was a highlight of that chapter of my musical journey....

That's great citizenk74. I would love to have heard it. I did that once in a room with 2 amps and a stereo output Leslie simulator pedal. Slow...

Thanks for your very kind words, 3rdwaverider. This was a black-tie gala/dinner with very limited options for my camera placement so I could not get...

Yes, that is how it works. Each pickup gets at least a dedicated channel or ideally a dedicated amp. I have used both configurations but prefer two...

Postal strike is over, when I got home from work today my picks were in the mailbox. Even though I've only tested them for a little while, I like...

I guess I will need to "grow my ears" and get used to the sound! I like the song the more I have played through it. Thanks, Russ

Hm, I posted this already earlier today, but now it's missing. hope it was not removed by some moderator, or whatever. I will try to repeat. Any...

The right one is the one that works for you. Guthrie Govan playing "Donna Lee" bebop song by Charlie Parker - YouTube

Even in my teen years I never practiced with an amp. I think getting as much of your sound with as little gear possible yields the best results. ...

I think you have to find the fingering that works best for you if speed is your main consideration. I thing Frank Vignola said there's an infinite...

There's no 'how to handle it', you just handle it.

I use 12-14-18 Elixir single strings in combination with 30-40-50 D Addario chromes on my L5CT. A bit odd combination I do not like the wound 3rd

Wow, I haven’t posted much here and first I must say I’m impressed with how kind and eager to help you all are! Thanks! I don’t think I’ve ever...

For me it’s flatwound strings only.... But don’t be afraid to turn trebles down on your DV LJ! I notice a lot of guitarists feel it’s ‘wrong’ to...

Thanks for posting! I'm sure, too, Sco's chops can do whatever he wants them to do.

I can hear the faint voice reminding me that it's a learning experience and to extract lessons from it. But, tbh, I usually feel pretty bad.

Thé Combination of Es330 with my vibrolux clone is so perfect .. but know I have to admit that I am a little bit disappointed with my dv mark LJ . I...

What a wonderful gig! So were you there with a quartet? Couldn't see your band mates in the camera ... You should definitely send the link to our old...

Still for sale.

Looks wonderful! Congratulations!

Good work! Personally I prefer light tuners with plastic buttons, they make the head less prone to diving but perhaps have less sustain.... probably...

I kinda like the idea of a timeline I'm not as disciplined as I would like to be so the incentive may work . Never been involved in a study group...

Nice!!!!

Great. But I have to admit I'm a 6V6 guy. The 6L6s are bit sterile to my ear. I had just picked up the new Mesa California tweed amp that pushes up...

Inspiration hit me on the bus back to Philly last night. This may be one of my better lyrics. Def gonna be a waltz w/sing-along chorus: Rise ...

And I'd love to play with you, too. One day...

Toninho is one of three musicians on my 'bucket list' to play with (the other 2 being Tom Harrell and Kenny Barron). I think SO much of his playing,...

Very cool amp. I like how you've converted it to a DR sized combo. Aside from the smell, how does it sound?

unless you know the exact gauge of the wire used for the original wrap, the resistance numbers are meaningless...the polepieces are indeed alnico...

I think the first issue is in the right hand. If you are an alternate picker, primarily, you can get into trouble with passages that require...

Ha. Somehow this statement makes perfect sense to me.

Getting a little bored with sound of the Katana. No interest in Ver. 2 nor in a headphone model.

I really enjoyed that. I play a very simple arrangement that I slapped together based on Frank Vignola and Bucky Pizzarelli's duo. I like this...

I want to play like you when I grow up. Now I want an ES300. Easier than practicing.

Not everyone's cuppa tea ...

NICE PLAYING!!! I didn't have a problem watching the whole video. I used the below youtube link to get this head down. I still can't play it at...

The way I’ve always understood it? Those Heritage JS “Rose” guitars were perfect. Ive heard that model get called “perfect” more than once. Ive...

Hey, the names came right-up by just going over the photo. One couldn't help but cheat!

ah!! You’ve heard about the stereo amp they’re working on. That’s the one I’m really looking forward to. Switchable reverb chipset too!

Kind of neat, but not for me. After beating my ears up with many hours of listening to static while wearing headphones during ham radio contests for...

I understand that and I think it helps to have the notation as well. Check out Tim's tutorials.

I even had a copy of the orginal power tube chart made and put it in the Deluxe cab. I can see it now. Someday a amp tech is going to be scratching...

It could be anything from melting transformers to reactivated ancient beer-spills. Off to the shop for you. Good luck!

So beautiful! Keep up the good work. We should all have these down. Thanks for the inspiration...reaching for it now.

That is a beautiful sound!

Nice! I've never been able to get the hang of Ted's charts.
