None of the Gibson demos are good deals. I'm sure that one could get unblemished brand-new ones for 15% to 20% to 25% to even 30% off MAP at the...

ah yes, of course!

It's worth all the lessons one could take!

xx2433 is E B D G. So, as you noted, E G B D is Em7 (spelled from the root) and G B D E is G6. Of course, you don't have to spell them, or play...

Wow, that was something! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Bill and Julian were an astonishing combination.

It looks like Bill is going to be on one of the tracks from Julian's upcoming album. That would be awesome though if they had an entire album...

Ron is a superb player. I've been listening to him for many years.

Just magical; what a duet! Do they have an album together? I don't think so, right? I know there is one with Lage and Nels Cline.

Gorgeous guitar. Enjoy it in good health.

Try Piascore…. It’s an iPad app designed specifically for music. Lots of ways to catalog, tag and library pdfs as well as notations on the pdfs....

congratulations on your new guitar Holst makes a great guitar I had him custom build me a 17 inch hand carved arch top couple years ago it took...

Current progress: In some better light to appreciate the contour work needed:

Here are some pics from next session following my last post:

Metoo!

Interesting. I never looked at xx2433 (Em7) as anything other than an Em7 shape and a G6 would be 3x243x. Now I can see it contains same notes. I...

Here's another interesting version Listen at 7 minutes in... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3M25tNNLJ8&t=20s

Haha. It was good, like a sports car painted a strange colour :cool:

The first and last chords in rpjazzguitar’s example can be heard as G6 in this context, especially if a bass is present. Common tone diminished...

Don't want to derail this thread but, Wow !....his jazz licks are amazing! I knew of him from his country contributions but never really heard his...

I like this way of looking at "jazz". Note that at a movie website the topic of What is Noir, is a frequent one. Instead of saying a film is...

A good option for taming the Chinese/Indo pups is the Brute EQ pedal made/sold by forum member jazzmus. Its very very close to a Polytone preamp...

Marty, I remember being by Patrick’s house one night and I could have sworn he told me the HE SOLD an Artist Award to Grinning Elk. I wonder if it...

I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon playing with Vic in October 2019. We’d met before on a couple of occasions during one of my regular trips...

I have to say I have two guitars with Magic Touch Mini here, AFC55 and GB10em The pickup sounds twangier, less "full" according to my significant...

Where has that poor cabinet been to get every single screw rusted like that?

Thank you c74. I agree with you 100%. It’s a beautiful guitar. I had to put it away in its case, because it’s hard to keep looking at it! I played...

Lots of good suggestions. I liked that one you gave. I just changed yours a little on the last chord to end on the I: xx2433 (Em7) That xx2323...

Here are my limited experiences. I have played around four different GB10em. There seemed to be some differences between them. One of them...

Wow! My mom wouldn’t let me get half the stuff you have. You’re a lucky kid! :smile-new:

I am fairly certain Metheny's tri-amp setup was not used on BSL; doesn't sound like it, at any rate. I think it's mostly reverb there.

Yea, I have opinions of what jazz is and I've posted them for decades, but generally I see and hear jazz as a style of playing... I'm playing...

I focused on the second pair of clips - after the string change. They don't sound exactly the same. The second one sounds like the treble is...

i like that as a concept, but I think if you actually say it that way people will think it a bit odd haha

Funny but then he claims folks like us are the bitter ones or that we are offended when of course we didn't feel the need to create another thread. ...

Yes, Crouch was well off the mark with early fusion Miles, with the long pieces almost comparable to a raga or a suite, two or three electronic...

If the strings are still in place, and you're just sliding them over for an adjustment, then I agree that taking them out of the holder is usually,...

Maybe it's better to ask if a song has jazz rather than if it is jazz. Think of jazz as an adjective rather than a noun. As a noun, the question...

I have owned both at the same time also. Both were great guitars from the 70s and the biggest difference is not in the sound. In my opinion, the...

I guess I have no ears they sound exactly the same to me. Just attacking string different can change sound but these…..no same guitar. Play the one...

I’m shocked this guitar hasn’t sold. It’s absolutely beautiful, and the shading is spot on perfect!

Yeah. About Bitches Brew and slightly off topic but also related point - the jazz critics like Stanley Crouch who accused Miles of ‘grovelling before...

At first I just wanted them to play the damn song. But it’s a nice exploration of this tune, with a lot of nice sonic elements thrown in. I hear a...

Hey now!

I really enjoy mine! I got one when MF had them for $250 last year.

The tiny ones that come with a yellow plastic holder? I find I have to take them out of those to finish the slot; they sit too deep in the plastic.

Just to support your GAS. I would do a speaker swap if I was looking for a different sound and/or according to what pedals I am using. I like to...

'a lot of the fun is to be had at the margins anyway'. - Exactly. I mean, two of my favourite albums are Miles Davis's Bitches Brew and John...

I have two of these side-by-side in my studio, they are awesome. I don't think you can find a better cab, especially with the ER option.

. Good response and pretty much what I’ve been already thinking. I just don’t want to lose the 3 or 4 fans I might already have:)

I look forward to more of your unique style of comedy.

This coming week I'm focusing on reverse engineering the acoustic archtops and from that will come video footage of the insides, CAD models, Studio...

Did you try turning 100 and 300 Hz all the way down, turn the higher frequencies up and adjust from volume. I agree with your GAS attack theory.

I love telecaster, the next guitar I will put my hands on will be one. This thread is full of beauty (but damn 81 pages, many tele aficionados...

Thanks, interesting thread on the old generations Henriksen amps.

"I ended up taking down the ad before it sold" Fixed it for you !!!

Hey if Joe says it is mint then it is nicer than brand new. My Bro is a expert with a DA polisher and any guitar he sells will shine like the sun....

Yes, not surprised the 155 wins that battle))) Well in comparing a full size HB on the 155 to a mini HB on the GB10EM, there’s going to be quite a...

Hi and thank you for doing a same string compare! I also think I hear a rounder fuller sound in #2. Interesting that the attack on both seemed to...

I've got all sorts of guitars, from laminated archtops to semi-hollow and solid body, so I know the result very much depends on which guitar is...

Really lovely. Makes me feel very mortal, very old, very dull. But very lovely!

Good to know my intentions came across.

We used to get complaints from guests at every wedding, Bar Mitzvah etc about being too loud - and I started asking where those people were seated. ...

Per you, your verifiable definition of jazz makes bluegrass into a type of jazz. Such a definition is worse than useless. Verified?

Hi, M, You've asked the million-dollar question! So, here's my take: the short answer is "what more could you do?" Answer: nothing. But, once...

What guitars do you play? The amps will react differently to body types, pickups, hollow vs solid, etc. Another consideration is that you may want...

That may be why the wedge has a more solid plastic piece sewn on the top, which might reflect the sounds from the down firing port better than the...

I played with this when I got my Blu. Changing or moving the surface under a bottom port or radiator seems (at least to me) to be a bass EQ filter. ...

It was by. me. Someone got it and sold it to Grinning Elk, if I'm recalling correctly.

Thanks:smile-new:

it is not about sports competition..:smile-new:

Mick Goodrick wrote something like this in "the advancing guitarist" (I don't remenber exactly but...not far from this) : "if you are in...

The OP found the guitar via eBay but bought it outside of it which is against the terms of service. I just said to obviate that part of the story :)

Nice!! Somehow you got an e-guitar vibe going but without the steely sound, and (thank goodness) without that nasal Chet Atkins sound either! I'll...

On that note, how do we think a downfiring port sounds on carpet as compared to hard flooring?

Well.. it felt the best ever :)

They are all the same photos - even the one with the tuner removed and the one with the bridge laid out on the lace table cloth! The only thing...

Not enough difference to hear on my iphone! They sound identical to me!

I've posted this before. Feeler gauges that I adapted. Not my idea though.

Are those the photos from the original listing (which may still be online)? If they are (and it is), definitely report the ad to eBay as a scam. ...

The chances of someone buying items worth thousands of $$ on Ebay from a seller with zero feedback are in the Nigerian Prince zone.. or i least i...

Yes, that's it. That guitar is definitely in my possession!! And yes, it cost a bit more! Cheers

I'm not sure about that ... because it's getting a big fake.

What if Herbie Hancock suddenly appeared at the jam session and you were on the stage at that time?:smile-new:

maybe, or maybe other forms of art now do the thing that jazz used to do

awful times... :grumpy:

Or perhaps one’s capacity for self assessment develops with knowledge, skill and experience? nah that’s just loser talk

You must be very talented ... :-)

Musicians are time machines, you play in the future to hear in the present and use echo reflections of the past to influence it all with depth.

me too! funny that unless…..
