In 2017, when Henry J was facing foreclosure of Gibson, he sold many guitars through Chicago Music Exchange to the public at wholesale prices (I am sure his other dealers were furious). Some of...
Big fan of blonde, single pickup laminate guitars. Looks like the Ibanez Metheny models
I've simplified Countdown but maybe not in an acceptable way to some people. The nice thing about jazz is that you can interpret a tune any way you want. Purists might object but that's too bad,...
