My Favorite Solos

Death of Luthier Joseph Jesselli

I played one at the showroom in NYC. It was a very positive experience. Lightweight, comfortable, looks good, plays good. They are well made, and sound very good. Someone told me it was their...

D’Angelico DC Tour - Supro Pickups

Yes, the worst one caught by my cousin. You know, she filmed when there was nothing to film. Log into Facebook And I played a wrong thing.

A rare picture !

You were playing at the 7th fret and up, which is relatively high for a ES-175. I tend to play higher up on the fretboard on my solid-body guitar with its longer scale than I do on my hollow-body...

My 1950 Epiphone Triumph has a much more pronounced arch to the top compared to my 1952 Gibson L-4. Also quite a different tone. I find this stuff very interesting. Thanks john

Thicker Plates - Deeper Carve

I prefer playing without a drummer, or if there must be a drummer, I prefer one who uses brushes only. Sure, with an electric guitar, I have a volume knob and can compete, but that is a competition...

I think I'm a sensitive little snowflake of a player.

TK Smith Tele CC Pickup

Getting hold of a guitar wasn't possible until I went to university. At school, the emphasis was on classical music and they were keen on training violinists, so I studied that. I had some piano...

What other instruments did you play in high school/college?

Why? That's my preferred location.

Looks like reflections.

No, it doesn't. When Kent Armstrong fabricates the pickup I have him leave the top layer of epoxy off it so the rosewood is the same thickness.

Goodman 16" carved Archtop

Guitars are tools, and they work best when used for what they were designed for. With the intimate setting of recording yourself at a computer to post on a forum, I've been surprised to find my...

RANT ---why?

i suppose you must figure out if this is a mental issue (for example, a friend's daughter stops playing automatically if she makes the slightest error, almost out of her control right), or if there...

I think I'm a sensitive little snowflake of a player.

I think at least in part it comes down to an aspect of the algorithm whereby it recommends similar videos to those you've already watched/search for (it seems, and I'm guessing, to also favour newer...
