1. The Benevolent Dr. K (Kostakos): a tribute to my Dr. of nearly 20 years and one of my favorite people (Katherine is her 1st name).
2. Gettin' Ahead of Myself: A reference to my lifelong proclivity for jumping the gun. Always wanted to write to this title.
3. Egret Regret: I thought up the title and liked its sound, then wrote a dark instrumental commentary on man's slow elimination of wildlife and ecosystems. I hope at least some people regret it...
*Edit: Oops! The good doctor needs a dot on the 1st beat, 2nd ending of B---or else you may grow dotty trying to play it...
Keyboards put out a lot more bass than guitars, so one of the characteristics of a "keyboard" amp is to handle bass transients without speaker damage. Playing an electronic keyboard through a guitar...
I don't think I said that. Perhaps there was a typo in my post somewhere but I don't think I referred to lowering the 7th of a m7b5. I did refer to lowering the 7th of a 7b5 but I was referring to...
Sorry, by "discrete" I simply meant serving a definite harmonic function, as a subdominant or dominant chord, etc., versus being a passing chord - say an alternate voicing for the previous chord in...
This is different than your previous statement and example, which was Am7b5 to D7/Ab7b9 (A-C-Eb-G > A-C-Eb-F#). That is, lowering the 7th of the m7b5 gives you it's relative Dominant (7b9), m7b5 by...
I suspect my way of viewing these things is quite a bit different than most people I encounter in these discussions. You said "It (is) a practical definition, not a closed theoretic one" and...
Well, I had no intention of buying anything, so didn't register or watch the auction. It seems that although I love music and musical instruments, I am or want to be anything but a typical collector....
Here's another tip - you can't disturb a solder joint at all while it's cooling. If there's any motion (no matter how tiny) between the parts you're soldering before the solder has cooled enough to...
I got the help I was looking for and the shielded two conductor wire is in the mail.
Thanks for the extra tips on soldering too; even with the right stuff it still helps to have a clue. The...
Unless an amp was cheap and easy to fix forget it. I have no idea what i would do if my cut out putting any money into it not bright. I can buy a new one with warranty and get what I want or would...
thank you for posting this..and yes you are "one with the music and guitar"
your voice leading..Bach flavors..and chord movement .. it would be a very good study for all serious guitar students.

keep in mind that '39 is a transition year, early '39 is typically still x-braced, but that's not a hard fast rule, check each guitar individually. there are parallel guitars in '37 and '38 like...
here’s a photo from last year when stout stopped by for lunch, hang, and jam. Left to right is his 31 (?) his 39 my 46 and my 28. His 39 has much more beautiful wood (quilted back). Sound wise they...
