Alter: Bossa in the monastery never sounded so good - top!

Maybe they thought they were building Lutes!

yup! Thanks Bill! I spoke with Kit already and I’m on the waiting list; should something turn up. Thank you!

I think this is the original version; National Anthem performed at CPAC 2021 - YouTube With proper modulations; CPAC 2021 National Anthem -...

Really? How do they, as you say, "shit on the arts", exactly? Do you mean like Rudy Giuliani? He was mayor of NYC when he proudly announced...

Looks like an incomplete star to me. And who are the "Goddam Nazis" exactly? American people who identify as conservative, or what? Just...

Fixed. Botched National Anthem FIXED - CPAC 2021 - YouTube

Years ago I heard that it stood for Lang. After that, I found out it was Loar. Now, I find out that both were wrong. This situation is...

Absoluuuuutely. More than a few things changed in the 1960s.

She still went for that high note at the end and held it.

very nice...& great plains audio was the place for altec speaker restorations!! it'd make a great combo cab cheers

Thanks, yea, I didnt think the setup very well, put the laptop too far from the phone, next time maybe put the backing track into PA.

I don't want to go the ear training rabbit hole or get myself in trouble talking too much ear training as... I promised I wouldn't. Ear training...

Goddam Nazis. Look at the CPAC stage design. Coincidence? I think not...

Thanks for posting that... I haven't laughed that hard in a while! Sublime cluelessness.

Cool!! That’s very cool. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Groove is great. Note choices are melodic and harmonically interesting. Puts me in mind of Wes. Great job!

When you're the party that shits on the arts, that's the anthem you get.

My 1908 shows changes in design, the design precursor to subsequent L designs with floating bridge, peghead and archtop tailpiece.

Outstanding take.

The term i use for this is "Diminished Major7" or o(maj7) spelled 1 b3 b5 7 It is commonly used on a biii (1st inversion of io) when the...

not a silly question at all!! gibson used letter prefixes...F was mandolin, H was mandola, K was mando-cello & L guitar...tho i don't know how...

I've looked into it and came upon a thread where someone emailed Gibson, and apparently they aren't even sure. The only thing they could come up with...

That's actually very helpful to know about the AW program with Stryker and the program from Jens. I follow his Youtube Channel and his Patreon stuff....

The L series was Gibson's first production line introduced circa 1902 consisting of 4 models, well before Loar arrived at Gibson. Not sure what it...

Still a huge fan of my original lunchbox...when I use a reverb pedal with it. I'll probably end up with one of these. Thanks for the review.

I picked up this beauty with a birdseye maple top last month and had a Luthier make me a close copy of Bruce's (D'Aquisto style) tailpiece in ebony. ...

Nice that you're making progress. You mind giving me an idea how his "syllabus" is structured? He doesn't show much as to what you'll get in there....

Direct modulation in action.

As soon as you can get me a 7 days a week gig I'll develop my voice. It's funny how we forget the most important part of the golden years. Miles...

I used to have his dvd called no nonesense jazz guitar but never made it through. But he does seem like a practical teacher which is why I was having...

Thanks. Solid advice for a long-term outlook. I already made some fine tuning to my routine.

I have always assumed L for (Lloyd) Loar, Gibson's designer at the time... but I don't actually know if that's correct. ...

Rather than guessing or comparing to previous problems (called “poke and hope” by techs). if I may suggest getting a signal generator app for your...

The Strandberg design is interesting to me purely from a practical point of view. Since developing some chronic wrist/thumb and elbow issues it seems...

yes the issue has split Britain in half .... I'm pro Europe but I'm not allowed to talk about it amongst some of my partners family now .......

Hey jazzfrog really good logical technician type work! If it wasn’t for us Technicians the stuff Engineers designed would never work. :cool: (OK...

So after a week of running with the 22k value, and having a noticeable hiss, still not as bad as before, I decided to give a try to a lower value. ...

I was just listening to jazz happening now on wqln 91.3 and they played a cut from your album, Henry! Way cool, man! :cool:

long form tune, but I love it non the less :cool:

If you look at the pictures and read the description you'll see that the Nocaster you referenced was refinished, sanded down, modified, has changed...

It's possible that the pickup has an intermittent short or open, but not likely. I agree with cleaning the pots. Depending on the wiring scheme,...

I saw this earlier -- hilarious! is a joke, but in a different way!] :topsy_turvy:

I don't care how much it pays, don't ever call me for this gig again!

Interesting. Could you elaborate on what you see as the distinction in approach between the two?

Nut is about 1 3/4”. 24 3/4 scale. Truss rod and bridge both have plenty of range for adjustment. Frets are original but in great condition. The...

Smooth Alter! Like you're having a conversation with an old friend ;)

We're going to find out... I just got a Junior Barnyard yesterday, and I'm now talking with JasonC to order a LL-150. Like the character in Dirty...

Here's a take with my Elferink! Haven't played that tune in ages, so it's a bit of automated pilot mode (hehe, think i forgot about the E-7 A7 bars...

I demoed one at the same time I demoed a Godin Kingpin. My recollection is that I thought the Kingpin sounded better, but the neck felt better on...

I have two of them, one for about twenty years now. I haven't faced cracks, but they do move with the seasons. I once was playing a summer festival...

Big, big fan! When I was young and discovered jazz I sold all my 'rock' lps but kept hers (not that I'd classify her as a rock artist, she's...

"Had one that I wore scallops in places on the fret board before I retired it." Might want to keep your fingernails trimmed. :cool:

Oh, it's hard not fall in love with her. Such a great songwriter, with a really unique guitar style, interesting technique with occasionally...

His No Nonsense Jazz Guitar DVD is great.

I agree, try it first with the springs in and don’t mess up the string ground. When I hard-tailed my Strat I just added another spring and didn’t...

I like mine sfumato-y. :cool:

I think most would agree that the best learning of improvisation comes from performance with others for a live audience. Maybe most might agree that...

bump for the Bills

What was the radius on a vintage X-175 (I like 9.5“ radius by the way)?

I've been gigging with solid carved top guitars for sixty years and I've had exactly one develop a significant crack: It was not there when I...

Hi, A, If you believe in time travel, I have a job for you in the Winter of 1973. Nice feel. ...

Just to make sure, we're not actually talking about finish "checking" are we? I've seen that on old Gibsons. As I understand it, it's a...

Not sure where you are located in Colorado but there is a neat vintage guitar shop in Arvada called Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor and they do have...

Obviously they are rootless Dominants but they have the critical (dominant defining) notes 3rd and b7. The one built on the D note is actually the...

9.5" radius is what I don't understand in an otherwise perfect creation.

Hi, C, Well said! Play live . . . Marinero

Roughly half the price of a good 125 and twice the price of the Kingpin. I like my Godin, but I think maybe I should've gotten that instead.

But I’m also reminded of the quite someone posted of Cootie Wiliams saying that the bebop era made everyone play the same; like Charlie Parker. I...

Words for the elements of visual art like line, shape, and color are shared for those of music, as well as bright, dark, movement, etc.; even some...

Dang! Some really masterful playing. The only mystery to me is why you aren't more widely recognized. (...um... oh yeah... jazz :-)

Well, the switch wasn't the problem. I think blaming the pickup may be a red herring. If the pickup was dead, it would not have any output no matter...

All guitar have cracks in them right down middle of the guitar. So just take a look at your basic L5 or D'angelico or ect. They all are 2 pieces tops...

Another Oregonian! Hello, from Monmouth here! I didn't realize Holst was in Creswell, that's even closer than you are. Only 76 miles. Wow. ...

I mean there’s a lot of music I don’t like that I have to respect just for it’s - uniqueness? Individuality. like bloody Schumann. Awful stuff,...

That’s not the point you were making though is it? I am sure I would recognise Vai’s playing cold anywhere. I actually think that’s more...

That is fine .. Dislike Scofield, Metheny, McLaughlin, Lage, Rosenwinkel and Frisell Then spice that up with lamenting that there are no unique...

Wow. This Tim Lerch is terrific. I was not at all familiar with him. He has tons of great material out there. Thanks for sharing this!

Anyway that’s a bit beside the point. But of guitarists that are known to be effects heavy it’s interesting the extent to which they have the sound...

Lol .. but speaking of acoustic Sco .. One of my all time favorite records After The Fact - YouTube

Sorry, L, I've explained it well and provided an excellent example. I'll allow my remarks to stand as written. ...
