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?
Whoa now,you just made a lot of people's heads explode saying you like your Yamaha better.I have a Sango classical guitar from the early 70's.These were built supposedly by Aria luthiers.It cost $90...
It's actually quite simple (albeit easier said than done), just continue trying to play what you hear, the more you do it, the better you get at it. Some appear to get there quickly, but (excepting...

As I said in your other thread, this book is available for free online (at pdfcoffee, et. al.). Just search for the book title + pdf.
I'm probably in, I'll take a look at the copy I downloaded.

Cecil Taylor appears to be reading a score sometimes in the YouTube video I shared, I'd love to see that chart.
I want a Cecil Taylor Real Book! - or would that be a Sur-Real Book?
This has been my contention for years - totally cynical. They know how to set necks at the correct angle if they want to. Probably leads to thousands of beginners giving up due to unplayable string...
Yeah man. Very nice mood piece. Nice playing @ragman1.The ending poignant. You finally arrive as she leaves. It’s about the journey and not the destination. Two thumbs up says I. That is AG in my...
I'd better buy the Kindle book so.
