I don’t care for either because they’re with Columbia Records. Don’t you know it was Columbia that killed STAX records? True story. In 1970 the head of Columbia was the great Clive Davis. Clive...

Wynton vs Herbie 1985

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting we'd want to learn Galbraith's arrangement(s) verbatim but as you said, there are some good ideas we can use. In fact, I saw a few phrases in Arnold's arrangement that...

VERY different amps. The Princeton Tonemaster has very much a classic Fender sound with the prominent mid range scoop and Fender style trem and reverb. The Little Jazz is warmer and fuller and much...

A Fender Princeton Tonemaster arrived today.

Hi, This is my father's guitar, he gave it to me. Thank you very much Papa! :triumphant: There are some German archtop specialists on the forum that already know it. My previous post...

I will say this about the Norlin era: The solid bodies and the semi-hollows are what gave the era its reputation. For the high end archtops, it's "guilt by association". The flip side to this is that...

Benedetto Bravo Deluxe or Gibson WesMo Crimson

If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking seriously at the Benedetto 16-B in the for sale section here. But, hey, I'm a Benedetto guy. Check out Jocelyn Gould and the tone she is getting from her...

Benedetto Bravo Deluxe or Gibson WesMo Crimson

I don't love the sound of really rubato guitar all the time, solo or otherwise, but this song seems to call for it somehow. Even if I were to work of the Galbraith arrangement, I'd at least try to...

Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold

You know that part in the podcast where two men are arguing about how many EQ plugins are necessary? You won't believe this, but they are the same man.

The Audo Plug in Scam

The original C24 concept was supposed to be a cross between a LP and a Strat, for people who used both and wanted one guitar to cover both. (The 25" scale is in between the two.) To me anyway, it...

Les Paul vs. PRS

Julian Lage was born in 1987. He was the subject of the 1996 short documentary film Jules at Eight. Aged twelve, he performed at the 2000 Grammy Awards. At fifteen, he was appointed a faculty member...

SNL staff guitarist?

Hey all I’m going to be living in Santa Barbara for a couple of months this summer. I’m eager to meet local musicians as soon as I can so hopefully I get invited to jams and/or set up some gigs....

Well, let your ears decide. Play Bb7 to Emin7. Do you actually hear a satisfying resolution? Now play Bb7 to A7 a couple of times, then Bb7 Emin7 A7. Do you hear a delayed resolution? In my case, I...

Tritone chord root movement

Wow, I never thought of that in those terms, much more in these: It's great to have both views. I'll try to find a recording. You don't want to hear my sorry attempts at it.

Sadowsky Ends Archtop Production

Re #1 - I would tend to view Em7 there as an inverted C chord. Or a functional tonic sub if you like. Re:#2 It’s customary in ‘common practice music’ to chromatically alter a cycle 4 profession...
