Emily Remler

Here is a "new" one, by the same guy who did the second video that was posted, and where not many cared for the tone. In this one, he has the black version, does play it acoustically for a bit, but...

The New Ibanez Pat Metheny PM3C Model

You don't need a smart phone. Your laptop probably has a web-cam and you can easily capture your playing with that. Most of even the cheapest cameras now have digital video capture. I've been on here...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

I enjoyed the Clooney version, but but liked the Tarkovsky version much more. Perfect Dark Zero was also made by a small team (30 or so by the end). My last game project was an Indiana Jones title at...

Oh cool. I don't think I'd have any recordings if I couldn't just use my phone.

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

Yeah I almost mention Randy’s book because it’s the one I recommend, but I haven’t lived with it enough to know it as a teaching resource. I really need to remind myself that it has the stuff I tend...

I don't know if I made that up but sure. I checked. Nothing came up.

For those who went to music school, was it worth it?

Please don't get me wrong and I'm prepared to get flamed and/or educated and I would love to have this guitar. But to me the neck seems set quite deeply in the body. If it was to have a floater...
