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?
Hey guys thank you very much for all your replies.
I am leaning towards position 2. I also bought the Dunlop straplock and will ask the tech to install it.
Will do NGD!

I love Ben Webster. The Holiday/Webster sessions with Barney Kessel on guitar is a legendary album. So much inspiration in there and Barney's performance is stellar, very melodic guitar playing.

Actually, the entire 4 bars could be played in the first position if you use open strings but it may sound country especially if you're playing a Tele. :pig:
Unfortunately I can't notate open strings with the Chord Writer app I have, but the top strings are open, so all the chords I posted, except for two, contain the 5th of the chord: the open G string....
The OP's question is voicings of #11's with the 5th. I gave one example.
There are others but the chord charts you posted seem to omit the 5th. Also I don't see any open strings in the charts.
And there are many C Lydian voicings with open strings - more than any other chord if you count Am7 & Em7 voicings.
A couple of duplicates there but I can't edit the image....
Bluegrass players, almost without exception, will put the strap button at position 5 on their dreads.
My first archtop, an Eastman AR905CE, had the strap button at position 1. I really like it,...
I have a Ruck 2010 classical with a sound port. Ruck provided wooden plugs so you can plug the hole and tell the difference. There is a huge difference in the sound you're hearing as a player. ...
This isn’t what you asked, but I’ve had an AR810CE for 17 years and I never put a strap button on it. I thought about it many times but it’s never been a priority. Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Barney...
