I adore the honest simplicity of her clip above with TE, but I also equally like the moody “Injuns”. I think her use of tech is genuine and it...

No can do last I tried but if no one posts anymore it'll just sink down the page. Oops....... :cool:

Someone on The Gear Page once asked why jazz guitar is so backward, why jazz guitarists do not play hammer-ons, pull-offs and all those other rock...

With 35 years of stage experience behind me, I don't really believe that there is a solution that is suitable for everyone. The quality of a product...

I think Scof said that jazz is similar to rock but requires more work.

Here's a schematic with a reverb circuit that seems to be very similar (in general) with the circuit in my amp. It uses a complementary pair of BJTs...

My Blue just arrived. Sounds perfect. Life's good.

Middle C on a piano is one ledger line below the staff. On guitar, that same note is on the B string, first fret. But, guitar books teach...

First, play correctly in one key - that is, in the original key.

I use Taurus SH 8 Qlone. It is the best for me. Taurus Stomp Head SH8, Stomp-Head SH8, Floor guitar amplifier SH8, Taurus SH8Qlone

Milkman isn't an amp modeler and lacks the features associated with one. Like choosing which speaker IR you want to use and room reflection. It...

Because you’re trying too hard. Watch Frank Vignola’s guitar night streams. He’s not doing all that… Watch Joe Pass comp, he’s playing E and A...

175 and L4 both have 20 fret necks. The gap moves the pickup about an inch closer to the bridge on the 175, which makes a slight difference in...

Beatles and Stones in mid-60s, ditched Beatles quickly. Cream, Hendrix, Zeppelin. By early 70s, Kind of Blue (still the best jazz album ever) and the...

Interesting take from same beta-tester, on overall assessment and state and progression of the modeler market: “If you're looking for a 'wow,...

I have a question maybe someone can help me with please? I have an L4CES and the pickup is mounted right at the end of the fingerboard. No gap. On...

That is a beautiful guitar! Every day that I play my Special, which is, well, every day, I feel special. Mark hits it out of the park. GLWTS!

The guitar comes from the factory with 010 strings...I used a 011 set and added a 012 and 016 to the first ones. I also made an adjustment to the...

He's in a ton of YouTube videos, including an appearance on Frank Vignola's Guitar Night. He shows up with the EarRegulars fairly often, along with...

I've played several Goodman, and they've all been excellent guitars. This is a ridiculously good guitar, and a crazy great price. Someone is going to...

Disappointed this isn’t a four second video of you saying “just do it.”

I've always liked Ayn Rand's description of her character Dr. Floyd Ferris; the valet of science.

It was only today I found out about this album by Svetlana in which PG definitely plays on these two tracks and possibly two more songs (Cheek To...

Apologies to the forum for going off topic, but things seem to have quieted on this thread. And besides, when did going off topic ever stop anyone? ...

Maybe things have changed. I used to be able to do it, but I haven't tried in a long time.

Things can be funny without being true. And true without being funny.

My optician actually had a music stand & sheets in his office. I asked and he said several members of our symphony orchestra are clients. I have...

Here's his chart on Arlen's Out of This World from a (saxophonist) Loren Schoenberg record date: ...

Yes there are definite answers...You just need to define the question. Your D-4 on the guitar is 2nd string 3rd fret or 3rd string 7th fret. Same D-4...

In general, heavy wound strings intonate worse on the upper frets, and on some guitars notes are more susceptible to fretting out there more too;...

Above my pay grade, but still interesting to watch someone work through a tune. And in a Google wander, I came across this: ...

Had a hunch that was the case - still thought it was funny.

Even though being familiar with jazz-rock fusion it was the studio version of the song "Speed King" by Deep Purple with its call & response jazz...

Brad told me a buyer contacted him who lives in the New York area and was gonna come and pick it up today, but they had massive flooding and trains...

Cool guitar...looks like he sold it

https://www.jazzguitar.be has all you need to get going. Not sure why nobody here ever recommends it.

I like the stuff she did with Tommy E. Not Tech. stuff but nice from the heart kind of music we used to hear before things became over commercialized...

I didn't get that on first read, very funny!

That's not an actual interview with Yogi Berra, but it does feed into the myth. There is a very large amount of made-up wisdom that Yogi never said,...

I know, but when I pressed Edit, Delete wouldn't come up. They won't let you delete the first post.:doh:

Yes I like the sound of a nice laminate archtop with flat wounds It's a less bright , thicker sound to me .... than a solid top archtop or a...

Well, that looks just perfect.

Offers accepted.

Yogi was an entity unto himself. Half of his quotes are priceless the other 75% aren't bad either. B

I use insulated "lunch bags" for small, light amps and speakers. They come in many sizes, so an exact fit is easy to find. Just do a Google search...

I like your organization of the topics. I have just been playing whatever because my main goal with these sessions is to get my technical skills...

Cool. When I practice a tune for two hours (usually I'll take a break half way though) I break it down as follows: 20 min: head 30 min chords 10...

seeing this kid on a local tv show play guitar and had a harmonica around his neck and needed to comb his hair he didnt really sing..and the words...

Yes, that's how it is. Jazz is more content at lower intensity than rock. So it can be hard to make it moving if you're not doing it well. Just...

I'm assuming you mean our gateway to jazz guitar...this being a jazz guitar forum... Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Chitlins Con Carne", "Lenny", and...

I see guys. So there's no definite answer. Transposing it up and down an octave dosent really matter in terms of the song That brings up another...

Basically a Gibson Johnny Smith with better fit and finish. Campellone guitars are getting like Gibson archtops where used prices are up there...

Really started playing during the 'great folk scare' of the early 60's, then on to the Ventures and a friend who taught me the basics of Chet stuff....

For me, it was Charlie Christian and Barney Kessel, both of whom I still listen to regularly. I still think of Christian as the best, purest and most...

Ok. When comping jazz, we are always timid and kinda in the background. When the soloist goes somewere, we inhale some bravery from those (edit:)...

On a local hold.

Because jazz has the same rhythmic requirements of rock, it has to be poppin. Only it has way more harmonic/melodic requirements. So if you don't...

Wtf does this mean?

half-learned? cant blast with full confidence.

Btw, i fleshed out my thoughts regarding Loeb above. Tl;dr he does have some decidedly cranky riffs ‘ooh science is close minded and arrogant’ is...

I can't understand the last half of the second sentence.

The gasman cometh!:encouragement:

I agree that playing live with others is different than playing with a metronome. That's why these are just exercises to improve timing, but it's...

She says: "(Loeb) suggests that because we didn't see a comet tail it's more likely that radiation pressure is the cause of the acceleration and...

No it’s included with the pick guard. Yes, way below today’s dealer cost. :) I’m removing the ad after today.

btw. When talking about time in a band rehearsal situation, it is the most esoteric discussion :) Everyone has their feelings about the time. None...

Some people (not a majority) like the LJ a bit better when the volumes are equal. But, the LJ doesn't go as loud as the Bud, so there's a point...

Another thing to consider is the tone you are using...I find that if I'm doing the "solo guitar" thing, the tone I use for playing with someone else...

I don't understand this. The Bud is louder, but the LJ is "a bit better in the volume range it can handle."(?)

The price of that L-37 just about covers the tax on an L-5 nowadays.

Other than the clipped pick guard and some minor scuffs, is there any issues at all? That is well priced below original dealer cost as well!

Thanks so much again for the links to an explanation on filters; what they do and how to use them. This is all new to me although I have played for...

Great detailed pics. GLWTS. I would love to spend a day at Hammer’s house :smile-new:

Would not mind seeing suggestions on lightweight gear..

Sounds like you're playing chord melody by yourself. In that case the melody probably sounds best on top. But if the tune goes up too high and sounds...

I agree with you completely. I have kept my T386 in spite of the similarities with the Romeo - it is different enough. As as you say, the build...

I just finished 2 hours on Blue Monk in Db. I could feel myself actually making progress and wanted to keep going lol.

^ I need to remember to do that.

for the hardcore ufo/etc junkie Coast to Coast AM - Wikipedia there are some on this show that could make you believe way back when in NYC...

watch the vid, if you haven’t - it’s pretty much the sum total of my knowledge haha - and see if you agree or disagree (if you have time) I think she...

And occasionally swapping octaves sounds great too. Like start low, then go high for the bridge.

Playing live with people is not the same than practicing with a metronome. Practicing with a metronome doesn't teach the fudge factor.
