    Im sure harmonics goes back to early guitar invention but Lenny might have first heard them on early Chet Atkins recordings.

    i wish they had kept this design for the production run

    Artificial harmonics have been used in the violin world for hundreds of years. I would think they had also been used on classical guitar long before the bebop era, although I have not looked into it.

    Yes harmonics are in guitar literature way back. Which I forgot about when I first answered.
    So please if any of you know the guitar faculty at Peabody geez Louise don’t tell them that I blew it!

    The ending came kind of unexpected, I had not rehearsed it.

    How did you record this? Just mic the cabinet or use the direct line?

    Harmonics start at around 1:22 in the 1940 version of Nuages.

    there are many, many recorded versions of “Nuages”, and Django usually began, and or ended his solo with harmonics.

    Tal’s faster
    I believe Tal’s first is on the Norgren 1956 album “Tal” on “Isn’t It Romantic”.
    i could be wrong. There are some some single note bings at the end of a ballad or two in ‘55, not full solos.
    My memory is a bit hazy on that timeframe, i was a 1952 issue)

    Had to feed my inner Tal. Here's a happy tune ... Through my Polytone.

    Maybe the best tone I've ever heard from a Polytone. You got that thing DIALED IN.

    Great playing as always.

    Thunkadelic! Sounds great. I’m gonna play my Tal tonight now. Such a great sound!

    You can’t get that kind of thunk out of a L5 or 175.
    Tal Farlow was the king of thunk. Luckily some of us have his thunk tool of choice.

    DB, outstanding. Your playing, the Tal, and the Polytone are the perfect marriage of elements.

    I love Polytone amps with Gibson lam-body archtops. For 25 years I gigged with a 175/Baby Brute. Always got thumbs up from the musicians in the audience.

    True. The Tal has a very special thunk of its own. I do not hear that in any other guitar apart from maybe a vintage 350. Gibson did such a good job with this model.
