There is a "ragtime" style of guitar playing associated with musicians like Blind Blake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GDMm5P48wo
Yeah, I love keys. I think I'm fortunate that my ability lies there, piano really. I had to quit guitar (and bass) because of a finger injury. I had a Hammond XK-5 digital organ rig. It was both too...
In simple terms, your playing doesn't swing, it's like you're playing classical music, a Bach chorale or something. Your technique is adequate, your tone is too bright and chimey, as Bobby said, I'm...
You sound like a really good player, you have a lot of stuff already worked out. I can see why you're frustrated, as you've put in the work but it's not sounding like you want it to. Here's my 2...
"However also try to record Jeff's version as that is what this study group is about." I don't plan to change it much, on paper anyway, just add some alternate voicings and/or chord fingerings. I...

Sorry to hear the details Clem. Clearly worse than it sounded at first. Something drizzled on the neck that can't be wiped off.. what the heck is up with that? Let us know when you figure out what...
"Just because a Negro plays Jazz, it doesn't necessarily make him a man"... Surely Tristano could not have meant this in a racist way. Without knowing the context, we can twist this to mean anything....
Glad you kept that one, Jack, I remember you thinking about selling it a while back (recognize the cool fingerboard). I love my GB10, just wish it was the size of a 175. ( I'm 6'4".) Might have...
Shows what looks to be an authentic Sadowsky serial number on the back of the headstock (I have one).... thus, I think the photo is of a legit Jim Hall, which means the real guitar they are offering...
Me too.....4 gigs in a row starting tomorrow thru Sunday. I recorded something yesterday, just the piece as written but didn't want to share it as it sounded crap. I'll get to it soon tho.

Sorry I'm new, please move this to the correct thread or I can remake it elsewhere if this isn't the right place for my question. Here's some vid of me playing guitar: ...
Very nice feather in the cap of the Mountain Lion of Islip ( I think that's how the late Stan Jay once described him)
Not really sounding very 'jazzy'. Is it in the...
