It’s all explained in the video..apologies for the unrehearsed playing.

Really lovely playing Rob. I dig that “mad” B-flat blues! And the pick up as well as guitar sounds great and like you say produces a wonderful acoustic tone.
-
Thanks, Woodstock. Glad you like the "mad" Blues - a homage to Joe Diorio. The scores for all the pieces are free here on JJG: Rob MacKillop saying hello again + 10 Studies

That’s wonderful. I’m gonna get the scores right now. By the way I was at Woodstock, but my handle is woodstove named after my performance and recording studio.
You can check it out on www.woodstovestudios.com
come to think of it, I have monthly shows that are just about to be broadcast on radio station WMVY. The first broadcast is December 31 at 7 PM Eastern standard time and is a wonderful jazz duo of piano, Jeremy Berlin, and guitar, Eric Johnson.
-
I thought I wrote Woodstove - but as I do so again, I see that the over-eager Spellchecker is changing it to Woodstock. Ah, technology! Your website is very interesting! Good luck with it all!

Thanks for the wonderful post . . . But is not "unrehearsed playing" an actual definition of "Jazz" and therefore not to be apologised for?
My question is however about your comment regarding Eastman guitars. I have both an AR503 and an AR371 and I desperately want to love them but both feel "tight" on the fingerboard as you describe. My Ibanez SJ-300 and AFJ957 both feel much easier to play. Any idea why this might be?
Cheers

That's interesting that you feel the 503 neck as tight too. Some people like it, so there's nothing wrong with the guitar in itself. You just have to find something that fits you better, and the Cremona does that for me. I've no idea why, technically-speaking, the 503 is the way it is.

think i bought the wrong one THR5A...play with peerless monarch...its a keeper....great video
-
Rob, it sounds great! I went the opposite way, a Creamery PAF in a P90 format, and was also very happy. Great pickups.
-
Voxo, the THR5a is a fine wee amp. I do find, though, that the 10 is easier to find the jazz-blues sounds I like to hear. I have the 5 and 10II (the cream version), but find myself using the original blue-coloured 10 more.
-
Jorge, you are a wise man! Creamery pickups are fantastic. Unfortunately, as he is a one-man setup, the waiting list is getting longer.

-
I should add that I just put a bare knuckles Manhattan P90 in humbucker size in my Trenier going for increased acoustic tones and clearer highs replacing a Lollar Imperial. It’s fantastic! Does it all.

I did a lot of listening and finally selected it Rob. Just after I ordered I ran into your earlier post about the Creamery and was very impressed, considered changing horses but stayed the course. The Manhattan is a beautiful instrument. Maybe someday I'll saddle a different horse with a Creamery, Originally Posted by Rob MacKillop

yikes Jorge- I just realized it was you making this comment. Thank you for being the one who turned me onto the Manhattan! Originally Posted by jorgemg1984

Rob, your homage to Barney Kessell was off the charts beautiful! You’ve got a very distinct touch for ballads.
I’m happy that you chose to install the Creamery into the Cremona. I felt it would be a natural fit for that guitar, and now after hearing it the tone is extremely captivating. I could listen to your playing for hours!
You should be sitting in a smoke filled nightclub getting your groove on as a solo act!
-
Ha! I had years of doing that in my late 20s, early 30s. Never again!
But thanks for your beautiful words, my friend! Yes, I'm more of a ballad player, as my technique and brain just do not move quickly enough for up-tempo music. I'm okay with that!
-
Funny thing is - Youtube played your Tarrega recordings right after the jazz, and at first I didn’t notice a difference in sound.
Is that due to the player or is it my ears (or speakers)?

Ha, maybe a combination of all those things. Believe me, there is a big difference, but I do have “my” sound, and tend to seek it out and find it in a slightly different guise on a variety of instruments. I can’t play without it.
-
Sounds like a million pounds, Rob. I was in St. Andrews-for the university, not for the golf- for a weekend in September, having Easyjetted from BHX to Edinburgh and back, and really should have tried to get in touch. The Scots are lovely people. St. Andrews was lovely...and then the Americans showed up. Golphers.
-
Yes, you should have got in touch. I’m lovely

Same here, really… Originally Posted by Rob MacKillop

How did I not notice this before? That guitar and pickup sound incredible, especially in your hands. They suit your elegant harmonies and delicate touch. Love it!
