Pick attack and pickup/guitar relation

Matteo Mancuso burns

Billie's bounce

Answering for myself, I would say true legato, as in smooth and connected. As opposed to guitar “legato” which is more properly referred to as “slurring.” Again answering for myself, I don’t think...

Pick attack and pickup/guitar relation

Do you mean legato making notes longer or legato as in picking and then pull off/hammer on multiple notes. Sure, I'll take a look at it. Give me a simple example of a player and a song where...

Pick attack and pickup/guitar relation

I agree with the too heavy "pick attack/touch"; both played pretty nice but the picking sounds really hard. My advice is to get some Jim Dunlop .75mm Nylon picks. When you play with them they will...

Thanks Derek!

Billie's bounce

I haven't really gotten to this, working on too many things at once. However, looking at the original lead sheet for the tune, I noticed that the composer (Victor Young) implies certain harmonic...

My Foolish Heart - Jeff Arnold Jazz Ballads Book, Song #6

Right you are, BT, too staccato, o.k. for rock 'n roll but not jazz.

Kurt Rosenwinkel with one of the new Soloway guitars

Why do you have to lighten your pick attack? My view is that it's not only an attack issue but a rhythm and articulation issue too. When you pound out each note it sounds hoakey. So it's more...

It's Walkin' (or Sid's Ahead, Weirdo or Gravy). The tune is credited to a shadowy underworld figure, Richard Carpenter - not Karen's brother and musical partner. He didn't write it but added his name...

What other song uses this intro?

Been happy with the Narex set though I really don't put them through their paces like a real woodworker would. As for sharpening, I think Japanese water stones are cool (though messy). And I like...

Wood Chisels Recommendations

Similar, but not the same as the turnaround to Jimmy Raney/Kenny Burrell's "Blue Duke."

What other song uses this intro?

Agree with Grahambop and Cunamara – look at the score. In the measure before the final chord, there is a final dominant: an Am spelled out by the strings, with a pizzicato D in the double bass. It...
