As a player he’s everything I’m not. I watch his vids occasionally to remind myself of the importance of keeping everything relaxed, efficient and in the pocket. His playing reminds me of ballet,...
By "lame" I'm guessing you mean it sounds like you're running scales or playing an exercise, aimless sounding? A cure for that (or start towards a cure) is to take a motif/lick and alter it to fit...
I used to play my tele through it, couldn’t believe the sound I got, like I’ve said I’m only selling because I don’t need 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If you analyze that, or any other Joe Pass arrangement, you'll see that he uses and improvises off a small set of chord voicings, a KISS system. My goal in learning chord melodies is not to be able...
A good player can make key center stuff sound great. A good player outlining the changes may sound better, or jazzier, or something, by adding harmonic interest. A lot of players add...
“Playing the changes” is much more than sticking to the original chords. It can mean something as simple as running the chords in scales or arpeggiated triads. But it’s really a broad approach to...
In my experience, a working band doing it in one day, multiple takes, mutual agreement on the best takes is typical. What often takes additional sessions is if there is a singer, especially if they...
Really, he has a "very advanced set of pedals" in his signal chain on these videos ? Are you sure of that ? I've watched a quantity of his things on his channel, and don't remember him talking...

Interesting post. Classical guitar technique has been codified and documented in many books. How would one even go about learning Wes' left hand technique? Maybe nowadays there are videos and...
I agree with this. I would do things differently now and not spend all that money on recordings that ended up 5% better than the demos we made on our own.
Man, what a band! Is it a jazz band or is it a rocknroll band? Hard to tell, and that what's great about it. Why nobody plays jazz like that anymore? I want my rhythm section to play like that,...
The Tal has 3” deep rims, making it noticeably Schaller for the player. Many makers have figured this out - Heritage and Campellone come to mind. They can be ordered deeper or shallower, of course,...
The question is what the sessions you describe produced. If they ended up as commercial quality recordings, you accomplished something great. If they captured a unique spirit and conveyed it well...
