"Most of the saddles I've seen on (photos of) vintage Gibson L5 archtops and family appear to be ebony btw." They were in the 20's then switched to BRW, then back to ebony in the 70s where they've...
Eastman AR610 acoustic archtop. Nearly mint. At my advanced age and small size, I swore I would never try using a 17" archtop again. I am now used to smaller archtops, 15"-16". But this big baby...
I believe it’s less functional and more an aesthetic design choice. Luthier Maegan Wells features a distinctive Florentine cutaway in her archtop models. AKA
Assuming you will add some, I really learn from others' approach to reharmonizing progressions. Next song something simple: I can't give you Anything but Love? Moonglow? 'Tis Autumn? I'm...

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...
Funny indeed, "boring" and "cerebral" should be incompatible traits but they're exactly what comes to mind whenever I try to listen to Metheny for instance. Maybe it's also funny that I prefer to...
