How can an electromagnetic PU pick up the vibrations from a wood body?? Maybe rather the movement relative to all strings that those vibrations induce? Do you use self-tapping screws with...
Pick an F6 voicing, voicelead to the nearest D-6, voicelead to the nearest C6. Then pick a simple two-attack rhythm … maybe 1 (2) (3) + (4) … put the voicings on beat one and then put the...
I use a hand twist drill. It's tiny, with a handle ~3/8" thick, knob on the end for ease of twisting. I don't need a power drill for a tiny pilot hole, and the hand tool gives more control. Sort...
I don’t understand the book. I mean, I can play the stuff, but I didn’t understand what to do with it. I really learn best if someone in real life can say “do it like this” and then I copy them....

That really is a wonderful device, and it makes that beautiful playing even nicer to hear. I’m definitely interested in these. With the 30W amp onboard, they should be great with Toobs and other...
I am very interested in this guitar, but I will wait until the dust settles for the used market to develop.
I think my favorite Teagarden albums are the ones with Bobby Hackett, in addition to the ones with Armstrong. Bobby Hackett was a great trumpeter, and I like listening to him.
What's the load again they'd be carrying in a typical setup, and how does that compare to what similar bolts 'n nuts might be carrying in, erm, real-world ;) applications? I've wondered about this...
Wow! Love it!! It's so interesting when transcribing from a wind instrument, alot of it is phrases you would never play as a guitarist.
The Bigsby is a wonderfully expressive tool. For those who learn how to use it. All music communities are close-minded in general (and ironically, jazz seems to be the worst for this; being all...
