Agreed, but I'd say there are 2 authors then. The doctor, and then a pharmacist who scribbled his or her interpretation above the hieroglyphs :cool:

What are these chords

Alpop, beutiful tone and nice playing, too. Sure should silence these who think the pickup is too bright.

The New Ibanez Pat Metheny PM3C Model

I admit to being tempted by both of JZ’s L4 and Rolli’s Tal. But, I am also in the demographic where I’m looking at retirement in a couple years, have a couple nice archtops, and have been focused...

I had to go and listen to both. I hear what you're talking aboput. Something must have been in the air. One sounds like "heavenly clouds of regret" and the other one sounds like "atmospheric...

I've had my PM3C for about a month now. I've kept it completely stock, strings and all and have no complaints about anything. I am a home/hobbyist type player. If you want to hear another...

Great Examples of a Good Jazz Guitar Tone

My $.02. I have now an Epiphone 335 Pro, and an Epi '61 Casino RI. Both made in China sometime in the last 10 years. I don't buy guitars to look at, they are tools and they'd better be a joy to...
