i still learn a new standard for 4-6 weeks and get it down thoughly - way to go i find. I dislike jams personally - i am a classical background and i like to know roughly what I will be playing. Mesa Boogie Lonestar makes killer jazz amp btw - dark and well balanced sound.
I've learned that the position is named after where the index finger is placed. Looks like that there are also other definitions on the start.
I play with the neck angled up fairly high (45 degrees, or maybe a bit more). I don't find that the strap button position makes any difference at all in terms of playing comfort or suitability for...
I'm a little confused by this thread. Last year a 90s Gibson Le Grand went unsold at a $7-8k list on this forum for several months. What's special (other than the name) in this JS to command such a...
One of these days I'll scope it to see what the innards look like.

There's other seven positions, or one position (the whole neck), or any number in between. Or maybe more positions if we do the one octave thing. The more ways you have of doing things, the...
me too, some of my old guitars came that way to me and I like that spot though it seems to be one of the least popular
I like 4 because it keeps the guitar from flipping forward, and the screw is in solid wood. 1 & 2 can tilt a guitar in the case, causing the headstock and case-lid to be in constant contact.
