at 2:50, it looks like half of an unfinished archtop body. Is that something you made as a test?
Just another case of the loud mouthed few ruining it for everyone else. I saw Mike right after his accident at the Blue Note; it was a Miles Davis tribute. What a show… the late Wallace Roney was on...
You're all welcome (or should I say "Here ya go mofos"?) ... EDIT: I posted this already in the other thread(but didn't have the time to analyze myself yet): meet george gershwin at the keyboard :...
Mike would phone me now and then to talk guitars, which was great fun - haven't known him as long as some of you guys have, but he strikes me as a person who makes the most of living - hope that will...
You've nailed the problem, but you have it backwards. When you accompany a singer (or other solo voice), it is not about you. Your only job is to follow and support the vocalist. There is no...
The harmonic motion in Just Friends, the A section, I just see as being chromatically decending minor tonalities. The written chords: BbM7 | Bbm7 Eb7 | FM7 | Abm7 Db7 | can be...

Aesthetically, I'd swap out the gold knobs for clear, to match the chrome.
Nice choice! the HB's are wonderful , I have an HBII Artist that' delicious
The bass is funky Why not the C#o7 as well? That sounds cool esp as a variation. Soloing wise… according to Barry bird didn’t play a B in bar 1 which is interesting.
Yeah, I was going to comment the same thing. My niece is a gigging musician, among others I know in her generation. Social media might help her get a few extra faces in the crowd, but nobody just...
That's funny, Mike Stern even with his injuries can still play at the level that most can only dream about, and be a real artist with originality and substance. Look at the new generation of...
Anyone watching the Stanley Cup?
