Week 19. Day 4. Blues for Alice in G. This was one of the best nights I've had in awhile. Socraticaster's post motivated me to push myself a bit more. Thank you! Of course these changes are more...
Week 19 Wednesday In my search for interesting lines that can be tactile-y organized, today I started a way of creating lines based on strict Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs. Starting on any note (today I...
Well, it’s not a Tele, I t’s definitely its own beast. It seems neat, but it’s not for me. As much as I like a lightweight guitar, I don’t think I could like a headless instrument.

And whatever vexes the listener dictates the questions that follow.
The term "non functional" is a huge garbage bin of concepts that ostensibly defy traditional western analysis. It can be Debussey-esque, driven by an ever changing shifting textural shift, or it can...

All of the spec sheets I can find online don't list the depth. I'm asking because I used to love this guitar, and so I'm curious to check out archtops with similar specs. I know it was 16" lower...
I don't have a single Snarky album but I think they're great. I think they write and play with heart, creativity and imagination. That's all I look for in a nutshell. Regarding TOP and EWF agreed,...
i have the Fender Blues Jr IV. I love it for Jazz. It’s got the tube warmth and feel an perfect wattage (15 Watts) for small venues. But you should try one out for yourself.
Does context matter in non-functional? (I don't know much about non-functional)
I didn't really take the OP to be about jazz or jazzers. Jazz and classical players will still be be good, albeit few in number. But pop? The OP could have been written in 1979, it's just...
Does anyone know the depth of the Joe Pass...
