Great Examples of a Good Jazz Guitar Tone

Who’s that fat bastard trying to play that beautiful guitar? I remember that day. I had shingles and I was in massive pain. That was like 60lbs ago. Man I was a load! MG, we’ve talked about this...

Hmmmm……I’ve played several from the ‘60s that were quite good acoustic guitars, not loud mind you, but decent volume with great, balanced tone from high to low. I’ve found everyone I’ve tried made...

Jaz I think the Yammy sounds good. They are great guitars for the price and I enjoyed you channeling your inner Gabor. The L4 has the more standard tone you would expect from an archtop; fatter...

Cantalope Island 1996 Gibson L4CES vs 2016 Yamaha SA2200, which do you like?

There is another way that I use a bit. You sing the lyrics as you write the lyrics. So step 1 you simultaneously end up with lyrics and melody. Step 2 you put chords to the melody.

For Songwriters: which comes first, music or lyrics?

Bennedetto A6 is an excellent choice, that's what I would have used. I just saw Barry Greene playing with a trio here in Orlando, with a Benedetto Bravo that had an A6 pickup. The tone was "stellar"...
