Chord patterns... As far as I understand Regspeak, you basically got two kinds...those right in the tunes and those that are implied...or can be imposed. So a written chord pattern would be...
I’ve gotten more compliments on my sound with my Blu 10 than anything else. Even with a very cheap solid body! I just ordered a Bud 6 for the ultra portability and the second channel.
Correction, I said that the SS deluxe cherry baritone had humbuckers. It has the same P 90s as the maple natural. The cherry is mahogany, laminate rather than maple. D’ Angelico has another baritone...
That is a beaut! You are a long way from Dave…probably best you don’t live near there, this might become habit-forming.
I like playing the same songs with different guitars. I’m planning on using my Gretsch for an upcoming gig of mainly RNB and 70s/80s songs, but playing them on the Cordoba Stage nylon string is a...

Holy Moley! That's a fascinating story, and it all checks out in the book about him I'm reading. He was treated as God in DC, so it doesn't surprise me how his rabid fans treated you. From all...
Dang. Yeah that’s super hip. I really enjoy these sounds and I’ve heard him talk before about similar things with triads, like chaining together arpeggios (maybe over a C, you could play an E...
When N is the number of guitars you have, for any value of N: N+1 = the number of guitars you need, and N+2 = too many guitars.
Here's laminated spruce top, lam maple back & sides, 5-piece maple neck, and ebony board in 175-sized object https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPsrJyu5C40
