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?
alpop, you can always post a recording of Rainy Day this coming week. There's really no time limit to posting recordings it's just that we move to a new tune every two weeks.
Mick, just to...
Never heard of it but if I apply it to my own neck regularly will I become a virtuoso?
Or just not have a sticky neck on very hot days? I guess I could settle for that but I'd prefer my first...
I've seen this in the minor blues turnaround F7 E7 Am, key of A minor. It's the first time I see a Bb7 A7 Dm(7), key of C. But it looks and sounds very logical.
Useful insights, thanks :) Interesting re. bass motion and those two tunes.
In the key of C and in the key of A minor:
G7 E7 Am(7)
C7 A7 Dm(7)
I think those two function as minor...
Here is my arrangement (attached) - the chords anyway, obviously I wouldn't play it straight like this (oh, I forgot to add an intro to it, I'll do that). I'll record my rendition.
Re: the tune...
So C7 and A7 don’t really form a ii-V because C isn’t the ii. Bb7 and A7 would be closer to the ii-V movement because that bVI7 chord is a pretty sub for V/V, particularly in a minor key. Calling it...
I've always liked Time After Time.
Not sure I'll get the current song recorded as I am recovering from 3 - 1 hour sets of bashing out rock n roll for a dance crowd last night. (I'm definitely too...
I'm looking at these changes:
C | % | % | G7 |
% | Dm7 | G7 | C |
C7 | Bb7 | A7 | Dm7 |
Dm7 Bb7 | Em7 A7 | Dm7 G7 | C ||
(The tune is normally played in the key of F but I've transposed it...
Just a Gigolo C7 Bb7 A7
