Of course he can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynLHtRoHBzg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edRvTdMrkgo @ Bobby: Oscar Brown Jr. is BTW...

That's my take on it. The issue is not metul technique 'picking lighter' it's the sense of swing. Not to rag on his playing because I think it's...

Dizzy was also a hell of a dancer. He really knew how to shake that ass. And so relaxed !!! That is the secret to groove. ...

Sounds great!

Quincy can shuffle too. https://youtu.be/JF_wx8sv8uk?si=MXsQMzGlvKDH6_Fh

Like this? BH said people should play more shuffle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsjvIWUSq6Q I get the impression that many people do not...

Interestingly, I have both. The Cube 60 was a gift from a friend who played bass with Steve Miller. He used it for quiet practice back when he had...

^ Agreed. You don't want your jazz playing to sound like a damn shuffle.. Unless you want to sound like a dork. Jmo.

Alright hang tight hang tight. So I think the issue he was talking about at first is probably more related to actual legato. Guitar is a naturally...

I do not know what kind of rock blues you listen to but you seem to have a strange conception of its legato and rhythm ... ...

It seems to be very quiet though I still have the fractal FM3 so I'm using that for recording. I haven't tried recording with it. I run it into an...

Saw his perform in a small club earlier this year. Absolutely amazing!

Thanks so much, Vin. Thats very kind of you to say.

Hi Jack. A few questions.... Is it quiet enough to record with? How does it compare with the UA Dream 65? What cab are you using live? ...

A no risk buy from a great guy. GLWTS Darren ! :smile-new:

Guessing you own one of the newer Broadways, the only reference I have is my 53 Epiphone Triumph Regent. It's 37" from the Bass (shorter) leg of the...

That’s a great find! The 1983 MIJ Ibanez Stagemaster AM-50 is a fantastic guitar, and it’s understandable that you’d want to keep it in great shape....

Jazz and Reggae (specifically Dub) are my 2 favorite kinds of music, so this thread is really hitting the spot!

Your solo phrasing is improving with leaps and bound! Very nice. Comping sounded really good, too, but I'd like to hear the solo louder in the...

Very nice. Especially the fiddle player is great. Is this a live or a multitrack recording?

Since mine are flipped the D is roughly 34.5 and the G is around 37.75.

You can flip the tailpiece if the D won’t reach. Mine were flipped for something, DR strings maybe, and I never put them back. I’ll measure it...

I've heard a little (very little) fan noise when I had been playing very loud in a loud environment, everything got hot, and suddenly things went...

Perfect! Thank you much. Interesting that you don't play with finger nails. I guess I never noticed or perhaps forgot that with your playing.

Picking hard and staccato but singing nonetheless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W2FZmKs_rI

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...

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...

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...

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...
