Pete Escovedo & Sy Smith - Let’s Stay Together

The Look of Love

I don't know. There is always something to be said about the sound in the hands of the player. All though I've never been a fan of Metheny's sound, It sounds pretty processed to me.

Sounds good. It's an A natural over the Bb chords and Ab over the Eb chords. The lead sheet is correct, that's why I took the time to scan it. They just use redundant natural signs after the flat in...

Hey, that's actually a good idea. :encouragement: There's nothing wrong with Gibsons or Epiphones, but then there's nothing wrong either with most of all the other makers out there - among them...

Oh I do too. Alternately runny and super stuffed up. I carry around an old dish towel in the spring to save on Kleenex costs

Good thing you don't get a runny nose too! I seem to have aged out of the worst of my allergies but I can still get an extremely runny nose as an over-sensitivity reaction. I can't recall that was...

Agreed. I find the notion that we're SUPPOSED to be able to explain our creative and mechanical processes at all times to be disturbing. It tends to devalue actual improvisation. Q. Sam, what...

Seventy Seven Hawk Jazz Deep on Reverb

Metheny did roll off a bit, but he points out that the volume pot on his 175 didn't do that much. I would agree from my own experience, something like a modern Ibanez would give you much more of a...

RIP Charlie. He played with a lot of personality and feeling.

“Little” Charlie Baty playing GJ at Djangofest.

I found a lead sheet in G online and did something last night. The temptation is to play the Bb pattern with a b7 a la blues but, if you look at it, the A is natural or, in my case, F#. But on...

Ah, I see. Thanks all. Seems like those are a bargin as compared to the astronomic prices of other archtops.

If you're sick, don't go. If you've got a scratch in your throat, a glass of water. Bring a fiver for a the server and tell them what's up. Give them a nod when the glass is empty. Old school,...

I'm worried about the cough beeing seen, heard and beeing destructive on the music. I recently play mainly duo with a saxplayer or a singer, so no hands free to cover my mouth. Fortunately so far...
