Yes, speaking for myself, I would consider getting a second LJ for louder gigs, unless it creates a transportation problem. Currently, I love the sound of the LJ with my (Princeton sized) Fat...
You're right, I was not all that fond of the arrangements in the book I mentioned, kind of stilted. Got a a couple of harmonic ideas from the book, that's about it. My copy says $14.95 on it, $25...
An archtop is the most versatile acoustic guitar. This all goes back to what the great Jimmy D'aquisto thought and built and believed. Unlike a flattop you can change things on an archtop to change...
Oh, it’s definitely Leon Rhodes. It’s from the Gatemouth Brown video in the other post. I took that other screenshot. Here you can see Leon and Roy in the same shot. Sent from my iPhone...

Three options come to mind (only partially tongue-in-cheek - see: An Old Man's New Semi-Modular Rig - 1st Impressions): Get a lightweight 8 Ohm extension speaker to use with one of them. Get...
Sitting in the living room a flat top guitar of most any type might sound loud and even louder than and arcthtop. Go into a large gym or concert hall and get back in the rear and you will not even...
Yes, and it exists perceptually too. The exact expression was rien dans le ventre (except for the treble strings). And it's the impression I've often had when taking a steel-string to guitar ensemble...
