It’s almost like they are complex hand crafted instruments with natural inconsistency and some are just better than others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Interesting. Tbf I didn’t get that first hand so I may well be wrong. Maybe all L5s are brilliant all the time :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I can find many examples of him hitting/arpeggiating changes, and doing things like throwing in alt-dim7 material on V chords (beyond the one...
I think you're on to something. Ted and Ed basically played what was available at the time and probably didn't parse over it in the same manner an internet forum will. Julian prefers Blackguards...
Bu the way, Fender needs to change the name of that guitar since its color no longer even remotely resembles the color of it's namesake, Lake Placid. Maybe rename it after one of these? -- 10...
I mean, it is Don Cherrys words, presumably. But in his more social-political writing, Amiri Baraka was pretty controversial.
I have three Strats: The black one has a maple board The Ocean Turquoise one has a rosewood board The Lake Placid Blue one has a roaster maple board. They all look great, sound great and...
Well, that is honest! With Fender guitars, I have tended to do the same and have preferred a rosewood fretboard primarily because I just think it looks better. I don't know that my ears are good...
I bought one of Vinny's Campellones (V1K Custom) and it has a built in humbucker. It is first and foremost an acoustic guitar and is every bit as loud as your average flattop acoustic. I doubt the...
Op: you also want to work on outlining the changes. Jazz blues isn't only blues vocab on the 1 of the key. Although there is a lot of that and it's tough to go overboard with accumulating those...
I'm a little different. I think it's good to learn tunes, but I think it's much more important (for me) to write songs. Certainly, knowing some tunes can help in the writing of them. (I think many...
These Robben Ford performances posted in a different thread (Younger guitarists are discovering the joys of having a jazz box. Good!) are a crash course in blues playing:
BB wont really help you hit the changes on a jazz style blues. Love him to death, but it’s not quite the same thing. Then again a book of ii-V licks won’t help you sound like you’re playing The...
I disagree about BB. There's tons there for jazz blues playing.
