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?
Well, I referenced transcriptions of Bill Evans/Keith Jarrett pieces but it didn't help much. Jim Hall did a good job of dumbing down Evan's harmony for guitar, and probably Ed Bickert but I have not...
I just realized that I inadvertently skipped a couple of chords in bars 9-10 of Arnold's arrangement. I'm gonna have to look up recordings of this tune on YouTube, the melody in some places is...
Grusin and Ritenour always had a great repore together.I saw them 40 years ago in Avery Fisher Hall with the GRP Allstars and Patti Austin.One of my favorite all time concerts.These two guys may be...
I think Monk, Milt Jackson and Pancho Hagood qualify as having great skill, exquisite taste, perfect control over their instruments, and a whole lot of experience. If you’re in that camp too, more...
I have replaced solid bases with two-footed bases with good results. Also the opposite. IME some guitars sound better with solid bases, some sound better with footed bases, and I am completely...
I bought it new in Jan 1998. Distributed by Barnes and Mullens in the UK. It had an Atilla Zoller pickup on it which I didn't like. Also whilst in it's case the cast tailpiece, which was similar to a...
Not familiar with him but I've attempted to borrow ideas from Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett. I say "attempted" because one must rack one's brain to come up with chord voicings that can even...

I love these arrangements of the standards.
Does any one else get chord melody ideas from these videos?
It's not easy to translate some of the lush chords on to the guitar...
