There have probably been more major advances for people without the seemingly unlimited financial resources that appear to be the norm on this forum ;) : better (if not much better) cheap instruments...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

I don't polarize the gear issue as either 'stfu and play the pos' or incessantly tone chase throwing 10s of thousands at the problem. I simply ask myself, am I happy with my instrument or not? If...

I don't think you can contemplate this topic without discussing what metal strings you prefer. I personally don't like SS strings for their sound. You might be able to say that fret metal versus...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

One of the reasons I chose Jeff Arnolds books (before this group) is because his books are some of the better ones with arrangements that both sound good and are at least somewhat like what I...

When Sunny Gets Blue - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #3

Ah! Debussy! I love Arabesque #1. Probably because of warm fuzzy nostalgic feelings about the synth version by Isao Tomita, used as the theme to Jack Horkheimer's "Star Hustler."

This is from one Japaneese site. H&K Spirit Vintage + Vox BC108. Gosh such a cool stuff. It gives me GAS.

Can you show me your 1x8" guitar amp?

These Dumble style amps are made for the solid body and semi hollow crowd. I used to own a real Dumble back in 1980. And it made my Strat and ES Artist model sound really Fat! Id venture to say...

Two Rock Bloomfield Drive vs Classic Reverb Signature - Fat Clean Tone

Glad to have another player join in! As you said learning them is relatively easy. The work is in getting them presentable as a piece of music that listeners can enjoy.

When Sunny Gets Blue - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #3

Small woofers handle high power. I use an Eminence Beta 8" with my Elf amp head. Sweet tone, 200W capacity.

Assuming you're stealing that for your jazzguitar I'd say you first, let's hear it (and don't cheat with a looper) ;)

Debussy it? Steal that classical lick!

I do the same thing. I find myself employing, with the LEFT hand the 'La Pompe' technique from Manouche style and aiming to play the top 3/4 strings for pure rhythm/comping and additional strings...

The Summer of Rhythm Guitar 2024

The drying or “curing” of timber is very important for the stability of the wood. One way is air drying the timber. This takes many years. Bessemeter.com states: “Air drying has a long...

Woods, drying, and neck stability

I tried a bunch of different 8” high powered speakers in my Quilter Aviator 1x8” closed back Combo. I came back to the Celestion TF818 as the beat sounding option! There aren’t a lot of 8”...

If harmony was really that complicated I doubt many of us would be here. I'm serious. Of course the book's presentation is dated, it's from 1989. That's 35 years ago. But you're welcome to study...
