Kol Nidre?

Also look at Ibanez hollowbodies, they are the non Gibson ones that come closest to the 175 sound. They can hang in all musical situations a 175 can if you don't/can't have the real thing.

There’s paid work in playing other peoples music well. It’s never been what I would think of as my strong suit (not that I’m sure what my strong suit is haha). I do wish I was better at learning...

What not to do on a gig

Go to the dry cleaners? That’s why we get paid the big bucks! Tbh vintage jazz gigs in the summer can be a difficult one. The music is fine, the clothes are not. And they always want you to...

Musescore search and replace

Is there a way in Musescore to do a search and replace like a text editor. I am really thinking in terms of a lengthy single line. For example, I want to find all the E's in a line and...

And playing through an amp? Yikes. I hope not. You don't want to get called to the great gig in the sky.

Static discharge

I have a slightly later Levin, but it has a bolt on neck; the bolt isn't visible externally, but is accessible via hole under the tailpiece. Yours may be attached in the same way, I understand many...

My opinion is that the best things for ear training are the following. Transcribe away from your instrument by singing the lines and then checking them later. Transcribe piano voicings and bass...

The best ways of ear training

Well do like Pat Metheny and buy an Ibanez PM. Especially if you don’t have the $$$. For my preference I like the Benedetto Bambino Std. A more updated version of the 175 design. Way more...
