Pürbach 14 (Andy Bartosh)

Yes, I suppose so too, and that would probably not be trivial at all seeing how thick wood glue usually is. In my case the gap was wide enough that I could just put a ribbon of glue along the gap and...

Definitely a relic of the 40's. Gibson's numbering scheme for this period was abysmal, but it's pretty obvious a very early model and typically the tuner buttons and pick guards have either rotted...

Hoping things get better for you soon. I have always appreciated your contributions here and am looking forward to more of it.

Nicely done! Good work! I like the sound of the recording over all. I hear some difference if I try to isolate each side but my hearing abilities are not that sophisticated. I would say that...

Box it as if you are shipping it and check it as baggage if you don't want to splurge for a tour-type travel case. At this point in my life I never rely on being able to carry on. Policies have...

Flying with guitar

I concur with this assessment. I don't change my strings often, and I have noticed no need to change them any more often with SS frets. And for anyone who bends, I can't imagine anyone would prefer...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

I have tried various Fender type necks with SS frets for a prolonged (years) time. I ended up going back to nickel silver. It was a subtle tone difference but it is probably similar to my dislike...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

DM I value your opinion and your vast real world knowledge, however these forums can become a matter for historic record and it is in that spirit, I feel like I should add a counter experience to...

I don’t think it’s advisable to post pictures of people in swimwear with respect to Metheny…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

Very nice! I didn't quite get what you meant about the walking bass and top note until I heard you play it, at which point I immediately knew what you meant. Joe does a similar thing in his solo...

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

Wow. I got my answer, which I knew but had forgotten - 5. I didn’t know this turned into such a thread. Maybe I’ll let you know how it goes at our next rehearsal. I think it’s a cross between King...

What do you call power chords with chord symbols?

It sounded very similar to the one I bought possibly a bit more pure cutting output. Heritage made sure Smith's were done well and carved correctly. They were about the acoustic element of these...

Mark - I bet you have spent a small fortune on tools of the trade.

True, but it still could be kind of distracting if you had a whole audience full of mimes doing their mime routines during the show.

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

When this done structurally it will be as good as new and possibly even better.

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?
