Last couple of times I saw Jack Wilkins he was playing a Comins GCS-1, which is a semihollow, akin to a 335. Yotam Silberstein plays one. Vinicius Gomes plays a 335 or similar.

Hello from Chicago from big Mike

If you play an A7, the audience will hear A9, because of the B in the melody. Putting a Bb or a C at the top of the chord is likely to clash with the melody and may confuse a singer. For...

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

Ok, here is my version. Again I didn't have a great practise week but the bare bones are there. Lots of things that I want to do with it so with that in mind will we go onto tune #3 or will we take a...

So I recently picked up a barefaced upsetter 110. For the most part, it's a fantastic product, that does what they say it is supposed to do (way bigger sounding than its size, good dispersion, very...

Might be a good idea to reheat the solder joints of all the jacks and pots that are soldered into the board.

The headphone jack can be used for recording, you can plug it directly into your recording device, so you'd want to hear what you're playing/recording through the amp. But the amp has two channels,...

Makes sense :) Thanks. From a chord perspective only (i.e. aside of considerations to do with melody, chord being a VI, etc.): it's interesting how the b9b13 seems to sound crunchier than the...

We were discussing the Yamaha G series amps recently in this thread - in fact I shared the same Paul Rivera video. I have a G-100 III 2x12. Anyone hip to Joshua Breakstone?

No, those are stripes: they are two-dimensional. Hoops are three-dimensional: they are circles. The metal strips on a barrel are hoops: they go around the barrel. The bars of colour on Metheny's...

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

I'm sure you know this, Bobby, but #11th cannot be equated with b5th, #11 implies that the chord voicing contains the natural 5th (lydian), and it can be a very pretty chord. For example:...

I know this is an old thread, however I have had 2 of these amps my first ever amp in fact! I bought a mark 2 about 3 years ago just out of sentimental reasons but don’t play it much these days. Was...

As I said earlier, Arnold's move from the Fm6 up to the Em7 is too awkward, I would never play it that way (or with his minor 9th jump down in the bass line - open E string). He's got: ...
