I personally found the Barry Harris material to be SUPER difficult on a technical level for guitar. Started once and quit. Then, a year and a...

I was looking for a decent cover of at least one of Joni's songs. In vain, of course. Well, there was this young'un singing into her phone at home...

that desmond album with eb ^ is on the mosaic boxset...it was only available on vinyl for decades...it was originally released on the artist house...

Some nice stuff there grahambop, especially at around 1'45 where you decided to grab the steering wheel. @Jeff, I would certainly post another...

Fantastic! GLWTS!

wow , that’s some beautiful playing from EB is there any more from that session available ? what a divine comper Ed was ....

Hard to predict. How about the Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer. I got one when it first came out. I programmed bass lines with which to jam along back...

As to the pickup volume - how close to the strings is the pickup? Pickup height has a definite effect on volume. The tone also changes to some...

:welcome: Jaguars are wonderful instruments - I have a '46. As has been stated, electrics respond instantly and a lighter touch may be the ticket...

Rough take, but I need to push myself to play more and record more. Gets me excited to play in person again. Tried to do a waltz feel against the...

:welcome:

IME Benedetto makes top of the line guitars. I would take one over a Gibson any day of the week and twice on Sunday. They don't sound exactly like...

I'm all for great instruments getting into the hands of future players. Musical instruments are made to make music. If along the way, somebody makes...

"....like a dry martini...." :cool:

Hi and thanks. The nut width is right at 1-11/16” and that is definitely a weird reflection. Regards

:welcome:

cheers

Late 80s American Standard Strats are going to take off. Mark my words. I can get you in on the ground floor for a mere $3000. Hell, I'll give you...

Wow, what a nice looking guitar! I am tempted. What's the nut width? Is that a blemish on the top up by the neck or just a weird reflection?

Pat Martino started out on what would be a Les Paul Standard and switched up to a Les Paul Custom which he played during the early to mid 60's with...

I believe that the iconic carved Gibson archtops, if kept in good condition, should do well over the long haul. 20-30-40-50 years. So get a good...

I have both books. I like the 3 note voicing book more--but they are both great. I like small voicings. Easier to hear the individual voices and...

I just meant it as a fun question I didn’t think about it very deeply. Sorry if OP came across as leering, thanks for the recommendations

Perhaps a pre Gibson Mesa Boogie will be considered valuable in the future. Amps rise in value also.

I'm sure this 2005 Verythin Classic will make someone very happy. Woods sure looked nice. Thanks for your detailed update.

Strange recommendation, but the EHX Superego Plus. Definitely overkill, but I loved it on my board for the amount of uses it can have at a smaller...

Thanks for that Matt. I didn’t really get it before but I’m kind of getting some sort of idea from this. So for me it’s quite fun to muck around...

A for mandolin too, the ones without the expensive strap hanger. Also J for acoustic guitar.

The Warren Nunes and Chuck Wayne/ Carl Barry ways of picking were as different as night and day. I just dig the Nunes sound more than the Wayne/Barry...

The crack at that place on the soundboard is actually at a place that is better than most. Having right in the middle or under bridge would be not as...

Thanks for listing the guitars you use. I play a lot of shows, and versatility is the most important thing in an axe for those gigs. I probably got...

improvised duet with jimmy giuffre...jimmy doesn't come in till about halfway thru spanish flames cheers

Congrats on the new guitar, definitely on my list of dream guitars!

Yeah, agree about the PP2+ being outdated. 15 years ago it was the golden standard of power supplies, but nowdays there are better option. I'm very...

Back OT I think that rare classic Gibsons and Fenders from the 50's and certain iconic guitars from the 60's like the Vox teardrop guitar and...

Amp with a master volume really helps tame things. Fender style circuits have a lot of gain change in the first part of rotation making them very...

I've already posted elsewhere that while it's hard to predict with certainty what items will be extremely collectible in the future, right now most...

Hi I have a few things from resuced my mom's liquor cabinet from the 70s. Had no idea that they were valuable. I'd be interested to see the...

I did not take a linear path. Instead, I studied with different teachers, years apart, and, even later, figured some stuff out on my own. 1. I...

SOLD: On Reverb for asking price.

Price Drop:$1,300+shipping.

Would invest in a different power supply instead. Voodoo is kind of obsolete in a digital world though you can use a current doubling cable to get a...

Not giving financial advice but I think this question is pretty silly. Your ROI from a good stock pick in 1 year is multiple times better than...

Ah, so you're agreeing with my wife.

Didn't Sco used to have an Arion sch back in the day? I had an 80s Pearl chorus that kinda did that thing, and I bet a Boss CE will get you there. If...

Perfect Pitch Rick Beato #155 - March 3, 2021 - YouTube

It could go either way, but IMO, as population increases and the supply of high demand vintage guitars shrinks (every year some are lost to fires,...

Thanks! Chuck truly is a master. And yes, I forgot to mention that this guitar has all the upgrades, including diamond abalone inlays, carved ebony...

I tried a set of round 12s once. They felt a bit stiffer than TI of the same gauge, and a subtle sort of "rough" feel, including a bit of grinding...

Just an FYI - "Reg's" fingerings are a subset of the 12 Leavitt fingerings. 6-7 of them, as I recall. They involve stretches, and to cover 12...

Steve is a REALLY nice guy. Cool workshop too. And his guitars... if I had the money, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. My mentor still plays his...

I'm sorry but I have to be honest. Parts of the last few posts are absurd, no offense to anyone. Rather, it seems to me that the truth is: ...

Thanks, I think that’s one of the things I’ve become more aware of over the years. I might look at a chart initially, but I always try to learn the...

Love it!!

i dont think there is a recording of grant with the les paul this is the record (not pink panther as the youtube vid claims) Goodnight, It's...

Beautiful guitar. Don't care what they call it though I realize old men often have trouble with creative deviation. Tailpiece is a nice touch. ...

Having Steve's blessing would certainly give me the warm and fuzzy! I had a Bambino, and it was a nice guitar, and this is a trade I would have...

I'd be curious as to how you arrived at this or whether you remember . Did you learn major scales in five positions up-and-down the fretboard? ...

Graham, Not only nice lines, but you made that melody SING SING SING. I have been really focusing on cutting off my notes at the right...

The idea is to have a method for beginners to use in arriving at the kind understanding that YOU already have ...but much earlier than that they...

I wonder if they would consider making a non-Custom Shop version with the same basic construction, but without the BRZ and other luxury appointments....

I asked Roger - they are hex-core.

Absolutely, very kind and genuine person.

These are extremely well made, great-sounding and comfortably sized guitars. I have a "plain" Bravo from 2007. Wish there were more opportunities to...

You can have a lighter right hand attack with an electric and let the amp adjustment supply the desired volume. If you haven't already, experiment...

You haven't missed anything. Finger patterns are just a visual and physical memory aid. They also help in developing right and left hand technique....

Yes that’s what I did. I used Audacity to split the stereo Aebersold L and R into 2 separate mono tracks. That puts the bass in one, and the piano in...

Perhaps there's value in allowing others to hear your work and explore how you developed your approach?

This was bugging me while I was playing along with Aebersold as well. I think the Aebersold tracks might be mixed with the piano hard-panned to one...

Now that's a good one if I ever heard one!!!!

Fir those who are concerned about the price, there are a lot of very high end luxury features on this. Probably none of them are really necessary...

He’s actually bringing it to Seattle where I live to have Steve Andersen inspect it. I suppose if Steve signs off on it, then I would feel pretty...

Gibson CF100E and J160E CF 100E Collectors Edition

on the midi guitar! good outro cheers

I'm a Thornton fan. They are very well designed, have the finest woods, and are built masterfully. Your guitar is stunning. It's an earlier...

Maybe I posted this elsewhere already? WTH it's a good-un. A man dies and goes up to the Pearly Gates, where he meets St. Peter. St. Peter...

Man, this is exactly why I have pretty much stopped reading the theory section of this forum. How many angels can dance on the head of a damn pin?...

nice! with bickert! Paul Desmond(as), Ed Bickert(g), Don Thompson(b), Jerry Fuller(ds) cheers

Thanks. To be honest, I don't understand the finger-position approaches, if I may call them that. I've read posts and looked at diagrams and I...

unfortunately ecm is very strict about not having their recordings and artists free on u-tube... cheers

Here’s a somewhat different take on an archtop-Tele hybrid from Maryland luthier Tim Bram: Tim Bram Tribute Archtop Carved Spruce Mahogany B Stock...

I know this is an old thread, but seems to be the only one about Monster cables. I've been using Monster Jazz leads for about 20 years and think...

The guitarist joining me for this duo was none other than the great Dan Wilson, from around 10 years ago.

do you own one? does it scratch the 330 itch? it's longscale, right? it looks so tempting but 1100 euro for MIC seems a tad steep? greetz from...

hmm, mine has two p90s

Is the person with the Andersen able to provide you with information on who made the repair? As already mentioned, if the crack was repaired well,...

Am I the only one who is wondering why the lack of f-holes? I mean f-holes aren't a necessity, but it seems like he thoughtfully designed the...

The crack does seem small and hopefully properly repaired.

That’s a cool guitar and everything but a Telecaster.

There's a bit in there that sounds like 'Hallelujah'.

Scofield! It looks like he uses the line 6 purple (FM4 these days). Alas, too much juice. Hence the post... but in general I like flanger,...

I'm doing the exact same thing like you. But you're the first ever person I encounter that uses this approach too. So, yeah, really minority report.

Looks nice altough I would go for the flamingo tele :cool:

Well, you should probably start by asking yourself why you would need modulation to begin with? There's no point in having it on your board adding...

The seller has the date wrong. First letter is "F" - it was made in 2005. Hofner built well under 500 Verythin Classics between 2000 and 2012, so...

I think it looks fantastic. The pickguard is a nice look. I'd prefer a P90, but I think it's a great idea. At least somebody at Fender is aware of...

Beautiful

Ha! I always thought i'd get a 5th avenue if i bought electric and already have a seagull acoustic so i'm sold on their price vs quality. The Godins...

That he Marinero! My eyes were having trouble keeping up with him.

Thank you for the explanation. Yes the world changed. I think it would have helped if your opening post was more clear that you were talking about...

Lark, sorry I missed this previously. Thanks for the message. First, far from being incoherent, I think you communicate excellently with English,...

And the narrator is talking about the angle in the neck pocket ==> bolt on. But, hey, it's a Tele! :behindsofa:

Recorda Me was already in my "repertoire" (a list of tunes that I'm constantly trying to get deeper into) and "Whisper Not" and "Nica's Dream" made...

Thanks Lawson! Oddly enough, I did not notice that piano melody while playing, I only heard it on the playback. I thought I’d screwed up my recording...

up

Very fine and inspiring playing, grahambop!

Does anyone know whether the rounds use a hex or round core? I've been using Newtone roundwounds for a while but those are pricey too. This could be...

That was just splendid! The tone was superb and your lines were wonderful. I want to play like you when I grow up! The Aebersold track (I have it)...

James Cagney never called anyone "a dirty squirrel"... Also squirrels do not harbor plague. I am sure those all ("direct and indirect...

Looks nice, and hits a lot of the right buttons. It's a Tele because of the body shape. That said, I think one could make one's own Tele and...

Thanks. It "felt" more solid to me, but sometimes our own self-perceptions are not accurate!

I like it. :smile-new:

There's a pretty good view angle at :27.

C'mon, man! It was invented for country. AND western.

Thanks Jeff. (My wife always accuses me of being too relaxed about everything...)

Sigh. -pure nickel roundwounds - $60 per box of 12 sets = $5/set +flat rate shipping is $12.95 per box = $72.95 = cost of $6.08/set + sales tax ...
