Getting Transcriptions Wrong

Same here with my 401K and i've been getting over 4 percent interest on my cash,when was the last time that happened.

2013 Gibson Custom Crimson Tal Farlow Archtop Guitar VSB

Yes I get hung up on, but no I don't simplify or ignore it. Rhythm is huge when you're transcribing, and I think is probably the best argument for writing transcriptions down at all. Mind if I...

Getting hung up on rhythms when transcribing

The distance from the guitar top to the top of the saddles isn't really telling you anything. To make an informed decision about whether there's a problem, you need to know the string action height...

Epiphone Zephyr Regent

I transcribe a lot. It has improved my ears and also of course I can see what improvisers like Bud Powell or Woody Shaw are doing melodically against chord changes. But I often get hung up on...

Nice sound which highlights just how good the stock set up can be. What amp did that go into, and did it seem like the recorded sound in the video was representative of what you heard in the room at...

The New Ibanez Pat Metheny PM3C Model

My situation was a little different but it's why I bailed on music 40 years ago. Rap was on the horizon and that meant downsizing. Home studios, drum machines, new gear, etc.. I didn't stop playing...

For those who went to music school, was it worth it?

1979 L5 CES - Sweden ~$7k

A bit disappointing..sounds like they are just working it out..not really playing it.

Equinox

I have definitely considered one. I like the wide neck with no inlays. It's just a little pricier than I was wanting at the moment as I just want a beater archtop. The Zephyr was $550!

Epiphone Zephyr Regent

Mistakes happen, I would trust my ear over someone else's transcription. You just don't know how much effort they put into it. As a slight pivot here's a video below of Adam Manass from Open...

Check out that idiot-proof jack reinforcement panel!

The New Campellone fall batch

I love it too. It is one of those, however, that had some "bleed" at the binding so there is a slight cosmetic flaw, which is why I could afford to buy it in the first place! But I love the color...

What beats an L5?

I wanted the same thing and got an Eastman AR503CE. You might look into those.

Epiphone Zephyr Regent

But it does have distortation!

Now if only it had built in reverb...
