Not sure this is true. I doubt PB has it codified in the same way, but I know he heartily endorses Jordan’s way of going about things. And Jordan’s is no Bernstein clone but he’s very...
I thought he said he wanted to use a pick to play faster but practicing late at night disturbed the neighbors so he stuck w the thumb since it gave a mellower sound.
I don't trust people who say kind of thing, no matter who they are. You need scales but it depends how they're used, especially in conjunction with chords and chord shapes. Usually those who say...
I preferred the Wes model. But it’s possible I’d have preferred the CES if the treble was rolled off. A key to Wes sound is the The right hand position. He played with his thumb and with his other...
Decades ago, I got a Music Minus One LP with Barnes and Kress – the first track of each two-track song was the two playing a duet, followed by a track of just Kress playing rhythm. It's where I first...
Ha! So sitting in the tub it dawned on me whey everyone says it's best to just call Kent and tell him what you're after. Welcome to the bespoke world! We're gonna be up the creek when the ol' chap...

So it looks like I have 3 full-sized Kent-built hum-buckers, each with 12 allen head screws in 3 different guitars. 2 are set and one's the floater. And apparently they're all completely different...
Realize this is old thread but listening to Grasso playing w/Vignola right now and it dawned on me that his tone and attack is perhaps more reminiscent of a piano(!) Given his love of Bud Powell,...
As an alternative … I worked in shipping for a while and signed my name professionally about 70 times a day and my signature is also absolutely illegible. I took a savings bond to the bank once...
There is nothing like playing the guitar for yourself to decide whether or not you like it. Nobody can get Wes's tone, but Wes, although there are quite a few people to do a pretty good...
Sometimes they're called walk up stands
I found some using the search term "stand-up guitar holder." "Performer" or "performance guitar stand" also seems to work.
Yeah, I've been really digging deep on the Lego Bricks vibe for learning tunes, so I'm kind of banking on the long game benefit of doing twelve keys on them. I've been spending time more particularly...
What are those guitar free standing guitar stands...
