Yes, Wes played a Sunburst Gibson L-5 (several different ones actually and he played quite a few other Gibson guitars over the years as well), but he never played a Gibson Wes Montgomery. Wes owned...
While I look forward to more news (I find myself in similar thoughts of getting an electric nylon) of the newly acquired guitar it occurs to me that a whole new can of worms may reside in the...
Secret to McCoy Tyner pentatonics Using forward motion There really is no single secret to McCoy Tyner pentatonics but there is one thing that makes his pentatonics sound sweeter than the...
All I need. Range is not the problem. Being heard over other players who are hammering at the strings like they are forging steel is. Unfortunately, I rarely play with other players and a well placed...
I prefer 17”, 3 3/8” depth, acoustic archtop guitars and a nice burst finish. The traditional burst WesMo would be my pick out of these three. I would like to play or hear them first before making my...
I think the take I posted on the first page of this thread is almost all 3 fingers...it does work! I need to revisit this one. Maybe this is my next document some practice type thread I start...

Measuring accurately is tricky indeed, reading a ruler held next to a string not trivial at all. I realised too late that I could simply have slipped a slide rule between the top and the strings...
Great and very extensive answer Many thanks …. If one were to setup a system to do that today (ie with a pedal to ‘hold’ the synth pad chord) what would be the cheapest way to achieve it ? ...
It’s very personal. I play fingerstyle and acoustic 80% of the time, and a 2,5 - 2 mm action would feel very stiff and high for me. I spend a lot of time on frets and setup because I like very low...
I can recognize many complex chords by ear, having learned and played much of the GASB by ear. But I am not very good at recognizing intervals, especially those greater than a fifth. Also, if I am...
