I like playing the same songs with different guitars. I’m planning on using my Gretsch for an upcoming gig of mainly RNB and 70s/80s songs, but playing them on the Cordoba Stage nylon string is a...
When you fingerpick, especially if you use nails, NEVER open a car door or lift a toilet seat with the picking hand, NEVER play frisbee, basketball or football, and NEVER NEVER use a cheese grater.
This reveals another gap in my knowledge. How are chord patterns crafted? I know about a few devices: 1. different inversions 2. harmonized scales 3. tritone subs 4. sequences I've heard...
The sheets of sound comparison makes sense, he's hugely into Coltrane. But more so the harmonic stuff, rhythmically he's often pretty locked into 8th notes. But that's part of what makes his...
In the acoustic flat picking world many of us use a larger triangle shape pick (see below) with a thickness of 1.25mm and up. But when playing electric I (and others) almost always go to 351 shape...
Holy Moley! That's a fascinating story, and it all checks out in the book about him I'm reading. He was treated as God in DC, so it doesn't surprise me how his rabid fans treated you. From all...
Dang. Yeah that’s super hip. I really enjoy these sounds and I’ve heard him talk before about similar things with triads, like chaining together arpeggios (maybe over a C, you could play an E...
When N is the number of guitars you have, for any value of N: N+1 = the number of guitars you need, and N+2 = too many guitars.

Sort of. If a single chord becomes a chord pattern, then the question becomes what types of chord patterns work well in that harmonic context. The avoid note of the original chord now is not heard...
Can we take a break for a few minutes? I gotta clean the drool off my computer. :typing:
Even the heaviest baritone sets (eg 16-70) generally seem to come with a plain 2nd string (tuned to F# or E ?) of max. 22 gauge, the exception being some Newtones, apparently (22w). But the 2nd...
So, the idea is that the chart says, say Cmaj7, but somebody is going to play Cmaj7, A7, D7 (or is it Dm7), G7. So, the avoid note in C is an F, which occurs in the G7. Since the F is contained...
