Just saw this thread... a pdf copy of the Joe Pass Guitar Style book can be found online for free (like most things these days), e.g., at Scribd. I have a pdf, the printed book, and the cassette...
I have a pair of Sadowsky — a long scale semi-hollow I got used and a FV model I bought new. I also have owned 7 Eastman’s at various price points and currently still have 2 — a Romeo and a T64....
Even at the brighter tempo Hawk took it at, it's still a long tune...2 choruses, 3 minutes. You throw in two heads, maybe a piano solo...that's a damn long foxtrot. Hawk cut to the chase and got...
'Fox Trot" - that's funny. "Don't let anyone tell you you can't dance to this music, you can! So go ahead and buy the record!"
A lap-steel squareneck tricone is a bit of a different beast from a roundneck, even before one takes into account the musical-stylistic-textural differences on display in Muller's playing (which...

I have raised 3 children who, inspite of having me as their dad, have grown into fine adults, married very well, and now i have 8 grandchildren! So you have definitely inspired my empathy! You can...
That makes at least two of us. Roger S. did well with his business model (it seems) regarding archtops and he is moving on. So what? If you need an archtop guitar, it isn't like they can't be...
I don't know Ben Monder's musical background, but Allan Holdsworth played violin before he played guitar. "Unless a player is in a particular school of jazz technique (Chuck Wayne, Rodney Jones...
