Groyniad, maybe the sideways angle of the neck does not allow a straight centered line from the middle of the nut through the center of the tailpiece to the endpin. A frontal pic of the whole guitar...
I once depped as a bass player several times in a nice 5 piece. We did a few gigs in a pub in England. The regular bassist got his own band a gig there so the bandleader for whom I depped sacked his...
That's the only one i'd never call that person again. The rest ehhh, it's not a big deal. Every good musician is a bit crazy one way or another.
In the guitar concertos thread, I stumbled on the above mentioned Johnny Smith recording that i was never fond of before, because of the poor job they did recording it on vinyl in 1955. The...
I'll be at Red Hot Strings next week and I'm really looking forward to taking some classes with you along with some other awesome teachers there. Seems like a great learning opportunity in a very...
Well, as I said I bought my ES-175 for $2500 just a few months ago. The seller dropped the price after a month or so without any nibbles at $3000; I think that pretty clearly suggests the local...

As long as I can get my combo 12 gigs a year I’ll be happy. The big band stuff is a cherry on top.
Actually, the US has became a consumer and services based economy. So, it changed. More data centers, fewer machine shops. Which is fine. Except for some strategic stuff like chips and weapons. ...
I did a fair bit in the 80s 90s and into the 00s. Rock bands, Country, Function, House band, Jazz residencies, Duo/trio, Dep work, several operating at the same time. All this while working in...
Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple because of nut slot clearance. If a slot is too narrow, the string will bind. If it’s too wide, the string will not be stable, which is a common cause of...
I actually stepped away from a side band last week. I was feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up three different repertories as well as family life.
It's ok thanks. It has always been a bit of a compromise balancing gigs with family life. I'm more choosy these days (one failed marriage) and don't gig as much as I did. Currently more rock than...
