Thank you. I guess Power Supply like Voodoo Lab could solve it?

My trusty tech repairman with 50 years experience uses JJ s and they work fine.

Thank you so much!!! I was at some of these shows and this collection is a treat of Great Value!!!

It is called a ground loop, where more than one path to ground creates a loop that picks up hum.

Steve, do you use tracks? And do you sing?

I always dug Hy White’s intros/ features on Woody Herman’s Blues Upstairs and River Bed Blues.

very nice guitar, even nicer words. your dad sounds like he was a great man. fly on

Cool site - I've spent hours on that site over the years.

The obvious way to prevent the pop would seem to be to turn the amp off before switching, then back on.

+1 to the above but if the string imbalance is too much for you and you don’t mind the anachronism nickel strings are always great. For feel and tone...

Great looking guitar! Enjoy it!

Well, it's a jacket. Goes well with the high-water pants. I do like the music, though. :cool:

He’s actually willing to part with it for less than $3900.

nice jacket too...

Beautiful guitar!

Jack, Play it with love. It will always have a connection to your Dad. My Dad didn't play guitar...he played organ although he frankly wasn't very...

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....

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

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.
