Hello from Chicago from big Mike

OK (some stuff I put down for a video) Bird liked this sound a lot. TBF, I think Steve Swallow's (and for that matter Berklee in the 70s) main focus in on post-modal music anyway,...

Is a tele style guitar a tele?:confused:

Fender Telecaster vs Gibson ES-335

You all just dislike adopting anything that comes from Berklee :highly_amused: Seriously though, I think the way harmony is taught there may have changed significantly over the years. I have a copy...

Do you play the alternating bassline on a bossa with bass player?

This is amusing

Thanks for the recommendation. To be clear, it's actually not really too much bass, just a lot of it. I find it very controllable off the amp bass knob, which is oddly not always the case for me with...

Specifically, I disagree with "Their only problem is that there's nothing rebellious, charismatic or mystical about the brand". There's lot of rebellion and charisma. Yes, the top US brands have an...

Further dialing in the Ibanez AF95 ... I do like this guitar (06/22/2024)
