Today, a bassist mentioned that he buys basses with satin finish on the neck, not glossy, for this reason. The drummer then mentioned that he used to...
My 2nd guitar is Squier thinline tele with Fender wide range (i think thats what they called?) humbuckers, and it's also a beautiful thing. The best...
Listening a lot to traditional folk and urban blues singers definitely helped me a ton in understanding and navigating the 12 bar blues form for jazz...
Pamosmusic, maybe look again at what I said in my first post where I mentioned BB? I think it’s actually pretty on point to what you’re saying about...
I'm a bassman so like fat tone. Single coils are the thinnest. I also like the spongey attack of humbuckers because of the 2 coils. Single coils have...
I've heard others say they heard it straight from Pete. You'd have to go to the source of course but I know for a fact he brought the L-5 to Zeidler...
It's 2/2 or a "C" with a slash across it, "alla breve", two beats per measure, the half note takes the beat. It is the "same pace" per tempo as 4/4,...

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I can find many examples of him hitting/arpeggiating changes, and doing things like throwing in...
Bu the way, Fender needs to change the name of that guitar since its color no longer even remotely resembles the color of it's namesake, Lake Placid....
It's easy for me to go 4 to the bar with the big band, the band fills out the song, but at home I try to throw all the things in so they'll be ready...
The higher end Tokais are great guitars. They are very much copies of the Gibson 335, not interpretations of the 355 like a lot of maple necked/ebony...
I recommend (as always LOL) to dig deep into the roots of African-American folk music to get a better feeling for where blues and jazz are originally...
