The term "non functional" is a huge garbage bin of concepts that ostensibly defy traditional western analysis. It can be Debussey-esque, driven by an ever changing shifting textural shift, or it can...
Pulled all the hardware off the burst so I could clean around the tailpiece, check the solder joints, clean the headstock, and check under the pickguard. I checked the truss rod nut, removed it and...
I wasn't talking about staying on it for the whole chorus, but only over the C7.
One thing I puzzle over with Wes Montgomery. He plays the blues, but it's amazingly free of cliches. He plays bop,...
I dig some pop music. But all music and art is about - I THINK - showing what and who our culture is in it's time. So I kind of look at art as a Ken Burns documentary, or history subject and leave...

But pop? The OP could have been written in 1979, it's just...
I love my Blu 10”. It is now the only amp I own, and it’s so versatile. It sounds great with my archtop, steel string acoustic w/ pickup, and my Eastman T64V w/ P90’s. And, I can plug a microphone...
Snarkey Puppy is a great example of what I'm talking about on the newer Hip Bands. Excellent musicianship overall, but feels like an All Star Berklee or North Texas band that never really gigged for...
Does anyone know the depth of the Joe Pass...
