Thanks, I'll add proof reading the recording to the line into my routine. I purposely picked a different position this time too, per your advice.
There are some general guidelines, depending on the type of maple the back is made from and how it's carved: A back made from stiffer or more dense stock (i.e. quarter-sawn maple or hard maple)...

I have to disagree with ragman, as I understand him, about how diminished chords are different than dominant. For example in practice I would play A7 lines over Bbdim. Bb-C#-E-G dim arp if i'm...
Definitely better than no transcribing. Honestly I wouldn’t worry about this a bit. If it’s close enough that it sounds like the lick you want, then great and practice it like the real thing. ...
Yes, the Florentine cutaway does allow for better high fret access, and yes, its construction is more involved - there's the bending of the cutaway insert, an extra joint gluing operation, an extra...
I'm doing a bit more transcribing these days. On the plus side, even after just a few months I can sense my ear improving, I'm finding things more quickly, and hearing things without having to slow...
Lots of great insight on this thread. I retired last May. I messaged Roli, with genuine intent to purchase his TF-sold JD's in a short-lived financial panic-wrong move! First world, entitled problem,...

Alpop, beutiful tone and nice playing, too. Sure should silence these who think the pickup is too bright.
