I don’t know your age bracket, so this may or may not be news to you. When I was starting out (I got my first guitar in 1955), there was good inexpensive stuff and it was made in the US by real...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

Big Congrats to you, buddy. The guitars look beautiful. Have fun playing them.

Fender Stratocaster

If I want to benchmark improvement, I record the piece I'm working on, once a week. It's a good way to demonstrate to myself that I am getting better.

How often do you record your practice?

By the way, the original lead sheet has a simple 2 bar pick-up, and he ends the song with the same two chords ( C7#5#9 -> F 6/9 ). On the guitar, the last two chords could be: x-3-2-3-4-4...

We'd love to hear them. :smile-new:

When Sunny Gets Blue - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #3

This Vox does look really cool, and it's available in my local music shop, so for sure I will check out that one really soon. And it's reasonable price.

Can you show me your 1x8" guitar amp?

https://youtu.be/FZThzbbe0Kc I guess I could post this in 'Songs'. I'd previously been posting these in 'Showcase', but I'm under no illusion this is a finished piece of work, so that...

Improv over Billie's Bounce

Jim I know you play with a very clean tone. But I believe the Co Axial Speaker tends to get very bright, and not sound the best when presented with any overdriven tone? Hopefully I’m wrong about...

Can you show me your 1x8" guitar amp?

First off, I do play the pieces a couple of times as written before I consider changing anything (and I explain what I've changed and why), and secondly, the alternate sparser voicings I suggested...
