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?
Applies only to the dominant scales (aka "mixolydian" to Berklee-oids). For major and minor (melodic minor ascending version for ascending and descending, sometimes called "jazz minor") the most...
A passing note in my understanding is a note located pitch-wise between two notes. Which happens with Dave Baker's one chromatic passing tone in his bebop scales. In Barry's teaching not the pitch is...
He does indeed. The expression I used ("rhythmically correct") comes from one of the ca. 50 videos from master classes at the Royal Conservatory at The Hague recorded by Frans Elsen, don't ask me...
That.
I have some scans of real "original vocal / piano sheet music" somewhere (like they where sold originally, one song on a few pages with a color front page sold for a few cents and not a...
Not so sure about that, in the article it said: "In the United States alone, approximately 1.85 million acoustic guitars were sold in 2021, representing around 55% of all guitars sold that year." -...
Because the 7 and 8 throw it off.
Playing it for the second octave (or playing it starting anywhere but the root) and you end up switching to chord tones on the upbeats after the octave.

Makes me wonder what percentage of the global consumption of wood is attributable to guitar-building, both aggregated and broken out by species, by type of guitar, and what the breakdown is for the...
First take, still trying to figure out my old Zoom recorder - and where did my favorite pick go?! (I play with a plectrum so can't use the broken nail alibi). I played the entire tune with intro and...
This link has a set of original changes for I Got Rhythm. They look different from the set of changes Dick Hyman cites. I’ll have to look it up when I get a chance. I remember a chromatic climb up...
What do you mean by "the Barry Harris scale"? If you mean the scales with the added chromatic "extra notes", those were taught descending. Then you need those extra notes to make them "rhythmically...
Well, excu-u-se me! I am so sorry that some of you are so thin-skinned and/or insecure that you cannot take a little ribbing!
Those who were paying attention would have noticed that my comments...
This looks like a recycled hand-engraved original vocal/piano score. The chord symbols / guitar grips were possibly added later. Most important for analysis is what is written in the piano...
Sitting on the deck pondering jazz and a thought came to me.
Why do we need the Barry Harris scale at all? If every other note of a scale is a chord tone, (1, 3, 5, 7) they naturally fall on the...
