This is a good idea...maybe even just loosen the E and B and try the E string in the B slot. Don't even need to restring then. Then, if the E still sounds weak, try the thicker gauge string. I use...
You may be correct but it is such a simple test and would give a definite answer to whether it is a problem with the pickup. It is hard to think of anything else that would weaken just the electric...
The nice thing about jazz is that you can interpret a tune any way you want. Purists might object but that's too bad, the tune is not their possession.

Really thoughtful post there. Thanks a lot. It reminded me of the tag to Tomo Fujita's youtube videos. Something I forgot. Don't worry Don't compare Don't expect too fast Be kind to...
This is very practical, good stuff! Although, in all honesty, it's the piano and bass that should stay out of the way of the guitar when it comes to Brazilian music. Of course, it's not always the...
There is so much information on the parent site.
The value of learning things like "Donna Lee" or, in my case, learning the book of Jimmy Raney solos from Aebersold, is not immediately that you "use" them or extract licks. Learning a challenging...
Just took delivery yesterday of this beautiful late 90s or early 2000s X-150. Kind of crazy that you can get one of these quality USA made guitars for less than an Eastman. I've been going to a...
Thanks for providing your expertise!
