To be honest, I'm not among the 200K plus watchers of this thread. Yet, I'd like to identify the guitar in this latest post. The cutaway doesn't look like anything I've seen on a Gibson, and I've seen a few.
This is my Super-400 CES from 1963 with the sharp/florentine cutaway. Gibson originally did them like this along with the ES-350T, Byrdland and L-5 CES from ca. 1962 until ca. 1968 . Not many were made and you see them used by Kenny Burrell, Wes, Larry Corryell, George Benson, Pat Martino and a few others. Very expensive nowadays .... The one in this clip is a new custom made model, a one-off and most probably not cheap either !
Man oh man, those Jun Satsuma videos have, to my ears, some of the most luscious electric jazz guitar tones I've ever heard. Especially the sunburst Super. What a fine player on the standards, too. So nice.

In practicing this morning i realized getting as comfortable as possible at my age was a priority.In order to spend any amount any time.And once again i noticed my picking hand/arm/shoulder had slide away from the pick up.I have be wondering in frustration what happen to a tone i use to get at times for like a month.And a few minutes ago i eureka!!!! I moved my hand/arm/shoulder up toward the pickup and there it was.Now my question is ,is my ear fooling me.mind you its a (a really nice,if there was any off ) 2015 Eastman 403 playing unplugged!Another question should this be in technique section.I figured getting optimal sound it would go here?
Why the hostility? Everyone is on their own "tone journey", and yes sometimes trying it for yourself is the only way to know. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's all just experience. And...
Easier to carry one amp that has a 12 inch speaker I think. I have an ext cab with a 12 inch, I use it for super big rooms with a Fender Twin.
If the Bud 6 sounded amazing, I might carry 2 things,...
Sure. The big stretch lick from city Nights is the most crazed example, but there’s quite a few in the solo I’ve transcribed - lots of stretch dim shapes that have to played on certain strings due to...
^ There's this thing called communication where the person tone seeking says what they want to achieve, and the veteran says well I'd recommend you try this and this and this. This gives the tone...
Anyway, one question is the term avoid note always applicable? This is a modal piece in 3/4:
BbM7#11 - % - % - %
GbM7#11 - % - % - %
F7#11 - %
There's no doubt it is LITTERED with avoid...
I don't have enough frets on my guitar to transpose this scale pattern to all keys unless I change it.
Similar lines? 9-10 bars of 8th notes in length?
Just trying to understand your logic...
Yeah not sure Adam uses rest strokes either … the sound just punches, which is awesome.
and yikes …. I’ve seen some little things of him talking about the polytonality, but never gotten deep...
I'm not sure it's that simple. I found what works for me, it might help others, but it might not. Tone is very personal... By that logic anyone would get a great tone, just emulate what experienced...
A3? Nah... it's still unmistakably pole magnet/telecaster sounding. Bar magnets (P90s) are a whole 'nuther thing. (Plus, with a P90 you've got a larger bobbin which changes the magnetic field and now...
I think what Reg means is using I VI II V as a chord pattern when we have, for example, a static I maj chord (aka back-cycling). I that case it doesn't make sense to talk about the 4th being an avoid...
