What you show is the motivic approach. I think it is super useful for many things such as burning certain phrases into your muscle memory, learning the changes to a new tune, hearing the harmony of...

New ways to practice scales/making music out of scales

Among guitarists, Hank Garland recorded it at about 235, Tal Farlow took it a bit quicker at 240-250, and Pat Metheny well north of 250.

Chord melody problem

Sorry to hear that. I've suffered 2 significant bike crashes (and barely missed a very serious collision with a car years ago) where I was thrown off the bike. In one I sustained a minor pelvic...

Sam Ash Blowout

My wife and I are retiring to Ireland in a few years, and she has lots of family there. If that cab is still in the store in October, I'll let you know what they said about letting it go for 100 Euro...

Making A Laminate Jazz Guitar: Episode 1: Buying Wood For Veneers

Agreed and understood. That said, if I were to "go for it" I'd probably ask Jim Triggs to build me something to my specs (Byrdland-ish) and be done with it. I had a couple of his San Salvador models....

Some thoughts on Ibanez GB10SE

If your guitar checked out for tortoiseshell, ivory or Brazilian rosewood, you’ll not be able to legally get it in or out of any of the 172 member countries without a permit. And, because these are...
