Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

I like everything about this build. I really appreciate the more open, bigger Florentine cut for some reason. (as compared to the circular 175 type). I'm more of a Venetian guy, but this looks right...

Like Mick says, Print to pdf.

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

I'm not familiar with MuseScore, can't it export the score to pdf? That's a basic function for music notation apps, I wouldn't use one that doesn't have it.

Rosewood vs Maple fretboard head to head - There's a difference

The main difference in sound between jazz guitars and solid wood guitars, comes from the difference in the way they are fundamentally designed. Not whether they are solid or hollow. Hollow bodies...

Ah, so you've been watching Good Will auctions for a long time now! I just discovered the website about 2 months ago. I'm guessing the average bids are much higher now than in the past? I've seen...

Cheaper and perhaps better alternative to Dynarette cushion?

Today, one of the girls called me up to tell me that the results of the nuclear stress test were fine. I asked her, "Then why am I glowing in a light green color when I look in the mirror?:cool:

Cheaper and perhaps better alternative to Dynarette cushion?

Hey golf, Can you give us some specs, like nut width, neck width at fret 14, body depth (look like maybe 3"), and weight? Also, how would you describe the neck profile? Thanks!

Victor Baker 17" from 2008..........

I like the G 6/9 that Jeff's arrangement ends on. Really looking forward to hearing your take of Jeff's arrangement Mick. We should also start thinking of the next tune. I'm open but can suggest...

You sound like you know a lot about using MS. I've written about 75 big band charts on MS, but don't know how to send them to people. You know how to do that? I've had a lot of them played by 'real'...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

I better keep doing both, or my chops will fall apart! I wasn't referring to the Romaine comment, I was referring to you're suggestion to have the metronome playing on 2&4, only 4, or on one every 4...
