I'm about 45 miles south of Portland. And quite interested. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

One thing that might harken back to on of Chris'77's youtube videos about chord chart frustrations and chord scales. Those minor major chords on...

Thanks! How might I think of hi-fi in this context? A bit bright?

Call Peter Wagonner at Lavonne Music Savage, Mn. He knows as much about guitars as Geaorge Gruhn. He also doesn't advertise his store that much. ...

Oh yes. I've spent countless hours in their shop. Reason alone to visit Chicago.

This is a great question and could/should be a thread all by itself. One short, direct answer is that there is a Trufire course from Fareed Haque...

The OP said "Back in the Genesis of music theory, why were upper extension chords limited to 9th, 11th, & 13th chords? Why are there not 8th, 10th,...

Howdy, nice to meet you. Don't know 'bout that particular model, sorry. I own a modern Korean Guild A50 and it pleases me veddy much. Enjoy...

Lotta good jazz players in Philly, too though.

If you don't want a high end guitar (probably a wise choice at this point) there are lots of choices. If you've had good experiences at Sweetwater...

Most colorful step of the classic minor Montuno pattern?

I'm guessing (based on the title) it was meant to evoke a dream Nica described. So dreamlike, if not . I actually don't perceive the song as "sad"...

no sorry, my cost is actually pretty high to make these so the margin is pretty tight already.

I prefer to sell on reverb, but I can do PayPal for anyone who prefers that route.

am familiar with the the current versions with franz pickups. and the blue one with dynas and bigsby, but never saw that one before! very...

I would stick to songs instead of buying books. You can Google a lead sheet for just about anything. Check Google images. But take my advice...

What a fantastic thread! Absolutely beautiful hardware, I really enjoyed these pictures

Thanks. I'm trying to feel that way!

Triplets at 400bpm, isn't that insanely fast?

I did notice the bop players didn't sound particularly dolorous so it must be the style. I'm actually wondering why m/maj7 chords were used at...

:welcome:

Thank you, kindly, Mr. B. I'm a northsider, born & raised. Held hostage outside of Philly for the last few years...

I say cool. I like the new overseas made Guilds. And hello from a fellow Chicagoan! What part of town?

Hi, look at my tele :smile-new: Tele especially for jazz players, semi hollow construction compound radius and "JAZZBUCKER" pickup 2,9kg

check out the Ted Greene site..(TedGreene.com) if anyone has questions on chords..this man has the answer.and then some.. the baker book #1 is a...

The guitr has a truss rod, so it's probably a '60 model, and Hofner was probably using up the old black bar pickups.

Look forward to this. Congratulations!

I've noticed some consistency in the choice of wood for the back plates on the Supers. I have always assumed that Wenzel bought fairly large boards...

Thanks again guys! Looking into the songs now. Is there anyone who knows if The Easy Guide To Jazz Guitar Chords eBook has more beginner...

Yes, those are synonyms, too. You might says that my intentions in treating pairs of synonyms as if they were opposites straddles the line between...

Hi Anders - The first song my teacher gave me after Autumn Leaves was "All The Things You Are" aka ATTYA. Why? Because it's a longer form to master;...

N Not so far off the beaten path as might seem:

maybe. but it's more like likely that somebody else (alfred lion, ike quebec?) named that tune. i think grant was at times a bit cocky (and...

Well, dolorous and sad are probably synonyms too. Not what I felt when playing it, I have to say, but the feelings created by m/maj7s are redolent...

Does the Pick Stick work like a mirror, something to use to watch the way you pick AS you're doing it, or is it a video camera that allows you to...

I’ve a 2010 sunburst for sell. Mint condition guitar that’s seen little use.

You, sir, have made my day. From one word lover to another.

The Shadow of Your Smile is worth a look at. And chords can be simplified to a degree that's now all that complicated.

The best time to plant a tree is yesterday. The dollar is the preeminent currency in the world and when the profligate Democrats (when in power,...

In this context my personal experience is just with unbound plates without tonebars, but I know (from our shared vendor) that Roger top plates with...

Amen.

Looks like a pre-1960 black bridge pickup and a post-1960 silver neck pickup.

If we're talking used, you can get a D'Angelico Premier SS Boardwalk with US made Seymour Duncan pickups for under $500. On the non-Boardwalk models...

Drum genius is great

7/4s quite easy actually Most Westerners feel it as an alternation of a bar of 4 and a bar of 3. So it’s a 4/4 bar grafted to a waltz bar. ...

:welcome:

Did someone say complicated?

This was followed in @ later '37 by more elaborate versions for the L-7, L-10 and L-12, and a bunch of changes to a new L-5 tailpiece - note the last...

You could always try to do all these options at once, a la Mark O’Connor ? Login • Instagram

Now, where did I put my time machine? :dontknow: Oh, well! The Silver Certificates they would take are probably worth a lot more than their face...

Gibson used this for a very brief time @'36-'37. I've seen it on the L-7 and L-5 (it may have appeared on the L-10 and L-12, but I've yet to see it...

:welcome:

That album is just sublime ... everything about it.

Looks better = more Art Deco without the F-holes.

^^^ This.

I pasted that into a Word document and printed it for ready reference.

thems were the days! bittersweet cheers

This price range 350 and under will get you a nice used Ibanez AF series. Rarely report finish, fret or neck problems. But I like Ibanez)))

It's USX: UpStrokeXscape. ;o) I agree that once can be a DWPS player without being an USX player. I like the USX motion. That seems most natural...

Here's a NOS Kluson archtop trapeze tailpiece from the end of that period. Gibson used similar Kluson tailpieces on some wartime and post-war ES-300...

Where is the Premiere SS made? At this point in life I would say what’s there to lose, only a couple hundred dollars? However I would have felt...

This whole body/neck/appearance, which do you prefer topic, reminds me of a very funny incident. Went to the local county fair with a well known...

Julian often uses the bridge pickup on his Nachocasters.

Congratulations! Always nice to hear some good news!

Are you able to do your own basic work? (bridge, nut, truss rod, etc) Can you return it if you want?

The hopping is not necessarily a bad thing, isn't it. It supports consistent alternate picking - smooth and even attack, works better with string...

Why not post it publicly here?

Sorry, I should have said that it straddles the border between dolorous and sad. John

Why in God's name would anyone want a Tele Neck pickup on an Archtop? I get the Charlie Christian pickup thing, even a P 90.

Here are a couple of shots that show some details of the German carve on a finished guitar:

Some additional notes: - The f-holes for the later Super are different from the f-holes for the Junior, Standard and Luxus models. They are routed...

If my eyes don't deceive me, this had 21 frets :triumphant:

Yup... I barely go higher than the 17th, so 18-20 is already a buffer for me, then for 20-24 I guess it's the buffer for the buffer... This is...

Lugubrious already means mournful, they're synonyms. But I blame all those min/Maj7 chords myself :-)

I'm enjoying these very much ! Nicely recorded guitar sounds...

strobo plus tuner with metronome...all in one with time variations/accents..etc....

Thanks John! I can see this is going to be my place in life ;-)

That just takes me back to the fact that these are all 24 fret necks, so that the neck pup is closer to the bridge. I was hoping the Tele-style ...

Good one, Rags. Straddles the line between mournful and lugubrious. In a good way. John

No afiliation - one of the ones I use. Free version (2 GB pcm) works well for me. I get 50 GB pcm, signed up via an offer (they come around every...

Some uncertainty still seems to exist in the international guitar world when it comes to the Roger (or real) "German carve". How can we recognize if...

Odd how much I play mine. I have better guitars but the size and tone of the SS keep it in constant use.

True about the lingo change. And in my own efforts to use DWPS/USX/whatever, I quickly found myself backing off the intentional, aggressive forward...

It does actually change to 4/4 swing in the middle but for some reason it's not that obvious. Quite funny :-)

I was surfing youtube videos of Lange a few months back and I saw him play using the Tele's bridge pickup, but I can't recall what video it was.

I didnt know that cool app! I had hard time to count 7/4.. It will be helpful! Thanks. I'll work as your advised!

Figure out if it's more like a bar of 4 plus a bar of 3, or a bar of 3 plus a bar of 4. Then download the drumgenius app, and use the metrogenius...

I think it's more about individual's habit. My problem is I always pick right above the neck PU:smile-new:

Like it! I like the overt bop ideas in this some kinda after-bop/still-bop tune. Nice to hear a clean archtop sound on a tune like this as well!

It's a beautiful guitar! Congratulations, and play it in good health! :encouragement: And kudos to Jay for faciltating this joyous occasion!...
