Today I became the proud owner of a limited edition Ibanez George Benson “Super” 10 (45th anniversary) guitar. I’m currently evaluating but so far I really like it.
Apologies for the amateur (and sideways) iPhone pics - they don’t do justice to the in-person beauty of this gorgeous instrument!
Congrats! Looks to be in mint condition and is beautiful. I am always amazed how woody the sound is from this small guitar. And the brighter sound is still very pleasant, sounds unmistakably like Benson. Truly a great innovation from Ibanez and GB. Enjoy it and share some recording if you will!
Edit: Ah I see that this seems like a new model, sorry, so I suppose the guitar is new. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Congratulations! I can relate. I very recently bought a JSM20th, the Scofield limited edition 20th anniversary model, at a guitar show. It's an incredible instrument. I wish I could thank the Ibanez workers in person, I really do.
You know what, im a big fan of Ibanez GB models and am owning a marvelous GB40II, but let me tell you something, they should rest it now with these models. The GB10 released in 1979 on the market and has been reshaped ever since, with great improvements and different designs. GB12, GB100, GB30, GB15, GB30 kimono, GB10 masquerade and the last big release were the beautiful two GB40 models which were brought about on the 40th anniversary of the original GB10. I think everything that could have been improved on the GB10 has already been done with all of these models. They should call it a day. I would love to see the GB20 re released.
Your GB looks amazing and will sound amazing out of the box, congrats.

The most important thing IMO is being able to feel the pulse. Dancing to the music might help, no kidding.
Then the understanding of polyrhythms is helpful -- divisions of three against two and...
yeah I deleted it because I decided it wasn’t true haha

Here are six short etudes, with an analysis, based on an eight bar section of Sonny Rollins' "Airegin", with free downloadable pdfs in Bb, Concert & Eb.

Professional opinion and the judgment of the community is central to music. The goalposts DO vary from tradition to tradition. We don’t do rubato in the same way as classical musicians for example...
True, but I think, even though people can agree on things, judgement is still exercised of a nature that isn't 'theory' (but I can see how this might be opening a can of worms already done to death)....
actually I disagree a bit.
There’s a creative and artistic aspect to rhythm, but there is such a thing as bad time and rhythm (within an African diaspora music context) and I think pro musicians...
To answer the title question, you can't because 'good' is subjective and thus I would think outside and beyond theory. As Christian said, you can analyse microrhythm, which people have done for jazz...
I haven’t had time to watch this all the way through, but these are not unlike the sorts of things I work on fwiw.
I think sometimes people think rhythm feel should be ‘sloppy’. There is a space...
Hi all! Just came across this thread. @pamosmusic - did you post your nine transcriptions somewhere? I saw "Gone With What Wind" a few posts up, but not the rest.
Many thanks for your contribution!
It should be a crump on yours bro.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. To me, Guitars look there very best in the white wood stage.
If I could have one built and it’s wood has a light...
Very nice, thank you! You seem to be really listening to yourself, almost as if you were playing with someone else and responding. How much of this arrangement is spontaneous vs worked out?
Congrats 1977jazz! As someone born in 1977, I really want one of these in my lineup as well. Plus, I’ve been seeing the number “77” EVERYWHERE since March of this year. Signs and wonders?? Hope...
