New Joe Diorio video

Melody is usually the last word here. Using a 9th on the VI7 chord is not unusual. Pennies from Heaven is another example. However the b9 has become more popular on the VI7 so for soloing over...

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I also went to that decoder site first trying to research this. If you read their disclaimer, they don't support serial numbers from the 80's. The year code just says...

When I read your first post once again after all the answers you've had by now, I realize you have a very complete arsenal of guitars. Archtop, Telecaster, flat top. I didn't really take notice at...

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?

I would not take an anonymous Craigslist poster's word over that of the seller.... Guitar Info: Your guitar was made in Korea on February, 1993. Production Number: 2954 From: The Guitar Dater...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

This is a really sweet tele and am listing it reluctantly. The good: I'm not sure who made the neck and body, but both are very high quality. The neck has what looks like a straight-grained...

Hi all, this is my first post here -- found you all via Google. I am selling a 1983 Epiphone Emperor F in tabacco burst. It is in great condition and plays well, and includes a hardshell Gibson...

BTW When I packed up my guitar in its case, I made sure it would survive being shoved around and banged about, before sending it off in someone else's hands.
