Getting Transcriptions Wrong

I believe that's true. I call it ear transcribing. But most people memorize solos and licks and stuff. I've never done that. I am almost anal about improvisation. I have refused to regurgitate...

Want to buy this guitar. know anyone selling? Gibson L5CT, sunburst

Now if only it had built in reverb...

Stage setups for larger venues
