Nows the time improv

I have to disagree with ragman, as I understand him, about how diminished chords are different than dominant. For example in practice I would play A7 lines over Bbdim. Bb-C#-E-G dim arp if i'm...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

Definitely better than no transcribing. Honestly I wouldn’t worry about this a bit. If it’s close enough that it sounds like the lick you want, then great and practice it like the real thing. ...

Getting Transcriptions Wrong

Yes, the Florentine cutaway does allow for better high fret access, and yes, its construction is more involved - there's the bending of the cutaway insert, an extra joint gluing operation, an extra...

The New Campellone fall batch

I'm doing a bit more transcribing these days. On the plus side, even after just a few months I can sense my ear improving, I'm finding things more quickly, and hearing things without having to slow...

Getting Transcriptions Wrong

Lots of great insight on this thread. I retired last May. I messaged Roli, with genuine intent to purchase his TF-sold JD's in a short-lived financial panic-wrong move! First world, entitled problem,...

2013 Gibson Custom Crimson Tal Farlow Archtop Guitar VSB

I did call the shop (which seems fairly respected), and they did say the top does not seem sunken. They said the action was a touch high and after a bridge adjustment the distance from the top of the...

really pretty finish on that L5 - don't think I've ever seen one done in that color before.

What beats an L5?

Agreed, but I'd say there are 2 authors then. The doctor, and then a pharmacist who scribbled his or her interpretation above the hieroglyphs :cool:

What are these chords

Alpop, beutiful tone and nice playing, too. Sure should silence these who think the pickup is too bright.

The New Ibanez Pat Metheny PM3C Model

I admit to being tempted by both of JZ’s L4 and Rolli’s Tal. But, I am also in the demographic where I’m looking at retirement in a couple years, have a couple nice archtops, and have been focused...

I had to go and listen to both. I hear what you're talking aboput. Something must have been in the air. One sounds like "heavenly clouds of regret" and the other one sounds like "atmospheric...
