The Summer of Rhythm Guitar 2024

It sounds like he did to me. Many melodic devices, especially in the minor key, are reminiscent of Bach. They may have been semi quotes, for all I know. And then there's stuff like this that he...

Well I had like 4 days so I did my best without the book. I learned the basic structure from you guys's recordings and I inserted some BH. But it's anti-BH.

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

Is this based on Arnold's arrangement? - because you said you didn't have a copy of the book yet. I'll have to analyze it.

Looks like the new 535s have a larger cutaway more similar to the gibson....

anyone selling a 535 or 335? And how do the new 535s compare to the originals?

Yeah these are useful points. I usually tell students that theory is not the knowledge in the books, but it is the Dewey decimal system. Maybe Chicago Manual or AP (or whatever the heck you Brits...

^ All beautiful tunes. Alright guys, since I didn't have much time to internalize the tune I did a rubato version for you. I'm best at melody but since this is a chord melody study group I didn't...

It probably won't hurt to obtain access to the PCB that holds those top knobs and blow some contact spray into the pots and any other switch that looks like it isn't sealed. It they use quality...
