Phil59: After my two decades in the classroom (during which I published plenty in my field), I spent three as a freelance journalist, so no contrast. The point of my post is that generating...
One can get by without rest strokes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awFeDMNiKX4
Just wanted to thank you guys and report back. FWIW, just pulled off the 6th string. So now my setup has the following Thomastik-Infeld flats: P13 - P15 - P19 JS25 - JS35 - JS44 I'd like to...
They all played great of course, but Jimmy was especially playing with great feeling. Made my evening.
Still available!! [a douche-bag on Reverb accepted an offer, and then backed out before paying!] :mad-new: [they should punish those people by charging them a reneg fee!] Fantastic guitar,...
Nope. I have several from the 80’s and 90’s that are as reliable as day one… there is no ‘end of service’ date nor do they become ‘unrepairable’ and I’ve used them with confidence for decades….they...
GB15's are awesome archtops! Yours looks like new. GLWYS.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I still don’t like it though. :smile-new: That is, I make a distinction between so-called “single note soloing” and soloing with chords. Analogies are just...
OP, Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and preordered.
I've used the GHS burnished nickel 10-46 on all my electrics since the late 70's when I was a dealer and have never found anything that I like any better (except maybe Fender 150s). I recently got a...
In contrast to you, I spent a few decades actually professionally writing what you call "plain old producing-prose-that-delivers-meaning." Doing, not teaching. And I completely agree with the experts...
Nope. I don’t all that often. I certainly use them from time to time, but it’s kind of an effect. Like when I play a group of swing quarter notes and I want them to jump. Or strumming a chord and...
Thats how I practice most things, I think. If I want to get better at something, I do it as much as possible. So if that means harmonizing a melody note, I want to do that as many times as...
They are getting inexpensive because they are nearing end of service. I would not want to be on the road with an amp that is more likely by the day to break down and be unrepairable. I do like their...
Just wondering. I used to not know what rest strokes were. Later, I learned what they were and noted to myself I don't use them, never have. More recently I mentioned around here that I don't use...
Anyone not use rest strokes?
