Thank you for clarifying, I wasn't far off so I am pleased my theory is improving. I've only been at it for a short spell.Originally Posted by rpjazzguitar4 6 6 6 4 4 is G# D# G# C# D# G#. Eliminating the duplicates, it's G# D# C#. Root 5 11 or R 4 5. It's a G#sus triad.
Thanks Joe. Unfortunately, i need to get a pickguard put on it to play it. Otherwise, it puts my pick at a weird angle and I have a problem with accuracy on the bottom strings. But just as important...
I can't play the piano, I don't have the brain for it, I can't coordinate the two hands at all. But my mother was, or used to be, a concert pianist before the war. And, of course, there are all...
That was wonderful. Thank you
In jazz, all chord symbols are ambiguous. That's one of the things I love about playing jazz. In jazz, chord symbols are more of a guideline for what you could play, but you can ignore it and...
Ref my post #14. I shall be slacking 2 screws on my tailpiece and see if the strings pull the tailpiece into line. I'll probably loosen the strings a bit first.
just found this from an earlier forum post - thought id repost it here in case it helps someone else too. it seems the issue is not unheard of with Eastman guitars. (no-one is a bigger Eastman fan...

I'm working on this for my channel - thought I may as well pop it up for proofreading etc. That said, @Tal I think you mentioned it as a typo in an earlier chart and I usually play G-Bb-Db-Eb but...
it has been like this always - though the bridge used to 'stick' in roughly the right place better than it does now (now it just slips back a bit to the bass side when I try to push it over towards...
thanks a lot everyone - really helping me here - this is a guitar worth sorting out - it has put all my American made archtops on the substitutes bench... another pic jazz note - thanks again:...
I believe that was to distinguish Gibson’s ES (electric spanish) line from their EH (electric hawaiian) line, which was also a popular range back in those days. I once got a book on the history of...
It might sound foolish but my videos on archtops often get thousands of views. My videos on the workshop get hundreds. I see the archtop videos as my best form of marketing. When people...
One of the funniest film lines ever, was in one of the Tom Hanks renaissance adventure films. When the good/bad guy is cleaning up after his stabbing murdering, he says something like "Not my best...
I'm one of those people who likes to do arrangements (and compositions), and brings them in to two bands I play with. The lousier of the two bands I play in and write for, massacred an arr. I did...
