The position of the volume control can also make a difference. You might try having the amp volume up high with the guitar volume down, and vice...

My point is scientific technique focus aside, simply regularly getting it up reasonably should generally shake out and improve your technique because...

Alright first official submission. So I’ve been working for about sixth months on some of the sixth diminished stuff from Alan’s Barry Harris...

You could carefully clamp the neck and then pull it back to a bit more than your required relief, leave it clamped for over a week.

The SA-2200 has a potential weak spot. The single-piece mahogany neck may twist. Mine did, not enough to be a problem. Last Friday I went through two...

I have not done compression fretting or the heat-the-fretboard-and-force-it-in-shape trick. I think both are sketchy and pretty unpredictable. I...

Need the above ask for information. If it has some neck reinforcement like a bar that is good. Compression fretting can be done. If it has no...

Thanks. I will loosen the strings and come back with a comprehensive reply to all your questions and maybe a pic or two. Have you done the sort of...

Still looking!

Experiment with the pickup and pole-piece height. Too low action can kill the dynamics. My personal rule of thumb is to have at least 1.5mm...

I don't know the Yamaha but wanted to buy it at one point. It's a very attractive and well built instrument. I bought a Japanese Ibanez instead which...

A thing I recall having to work through (I say this as if it's all in the past) was a certain level of uncertainty or insecurity. Like, I'd wait...

How much relief does it have? Does it have a bow with no string tension, if so how much? Is the neck bound? Has it been refretted? How are the...

Yes, Club 38Riv. Very casual, very small, very local. Inexpensive, too. Went a couple of nights earlier this year just because it was nearby. You...

I play 14 80/20s on my eagle, I have to play with low action now as my hands are aging but Im amazed how effortless and buzz free it plays (not doing...

I will try and post a short video later.

In Notes and Tones Ron Carter says something similar about upright pizzicato.

They're not 'real' p90s in my Squier Tele Custom II - They're Duncan designed but they still buzz like a real one.

My Clayton is 1mm. I originally bought 1.5mm because the Dunlops I did use were 1.5mm and 2mm but the 1.5 claytons just seemed too stiff. I'll have...

I don’t know man. I think I’m a hard disagree. Gotta be super careful playing fast. If you practice in mistakes, your muscle memory doesnt give...

Also just worth mentioning that if your wrist position is unhealthy or you’re using too much pressure with the thumb or fingers, you’re going to have...

I already do stuff to target technique playing slow. I think simply playing fast and working on getting it clean fast is a simple way to generally...

As others have said, anything is possible but it would be a huge amount of work. On a bound neck frets are either installed over the binding or...

bump - thx

Thanks. I'm mostly using my Loar 700 with MM13s and a stiff Clayton pick. The trouble is holding down a chord is tough and the pick isn't the easiest...

This is a little bit loaded. Perfect and consistent is more important than fast. Playing fast is really important because it’s sort of qualitatively...

Do please come back around and let us know how it goes. I think the 5-way switch is a great idea, too. Best of luck with the project!

Hi Many thanks, im in the Uk so ill let you know what quotes I get for just the body, but maybe its not a good idea, ill keep you posted cheers :)

Binding replacement by a competent craftsman will cost several hundred dollars. It's not a quick and easy job. It can be done, but it's not really...

Another thing, heavier gauge strings can have a lower action without buzzing than a lighter gauge, due to lighter gauge strings oscillating more than...

I have a Forte.........but im not selling, sorry, i know. good luck they are great amps..i got mine during the pandemic when he was blowing them out.

It's the disadvantage of playing chord shapes, your fingers can get locked into these chord shapes.

Can anyone recommend any classic guitar solos over rhythm changes to look at for vocab? I've only found Wes' Cotton Tail and it's not my favorite...

Or alternatively a thread with all 3 and people can pick which one?

when I use the fractal live, i just use one amp. I don't worry about switching amps and balancing the outputs on different presets. The fender...

Thanks for the thorough reply, Jack. I have an HX stomp on a pedal board, mostly for delays and reverb, but find it a bit unwieldy to think about...

I enjoyed Dewey Square and Scrapple, I play these Bebop heads most days. But, alas, Donna Lee has fell by the wayside, apart from the first few bars.

I’m up to about thirty now I think? Maintenance is an every day thing on that, though.

I have a long term goal to learn them all. 3 a year is fine. I’m not racing.

Nowadays this should all be handled via OCR with fallback to a human operator only if the algorithms really can't make anything of a label. Reading 2...

Hi Thanks so much for the info and for your advice. Yes it is purely cosmetic. I think ill have to leave the headstock and maybe get a quote for...

"Serpent's Tooth" is my favorite rhythm changes head (-that's not a tune Ella might sing, such as Cottontail or I Got Rhythm.)

Many things are possible if you're willing to spend the money. Broadly speaking, here are the tasks: Changing the body binding would be...

I voted Chasin' the Bird, but Dexterity is good too. Should probably learn all three, actually.

henriksen does have an effect loop but - at least on the new amps - it's a stereo 1/4 jack so you need a stereo to dual 1/4 cable to use it. However,...

wasn't a typo since it was a business and they created a label through reverb's labeling option. Perhaps it was a misread since the first two digits...

Do the Henriksens have an effects loop for using a tube pedal, or do you just plug straight in, Jack? I have a ZT Club solid state that I bought for...

I would play an F blues line over a key change from Bb to F.

many thanks for listening. Man more for commenting!

Looks great!

As others said, P90 in the neck is dog's bollocks. I would love that sound in my tele, but I can't live with the hum, I'm one of those weirdos. ...
