In May 2008 Bucky Pizzarelli came to Toronto to play at the Heliconian Club. After the gig he kindly agreed to give me a lesson the following morning at his hotel. Here's the first 15 minutes or so. The guitar is a mid-1940's L50 which we traded back and forth during the lesson. In this part we were working on straight acoustic rhythm. His message (repeated often): "Lighten up!"
I wanted to share this as a tribute to the memory of this charming and generous guitarist. Please ignore my flubs!
A belated thanks for this gem you shared with us. Bucky comes across as such a friendly and warm person, in addition to being the master we all know he was. You were lucky to have this opportunity of meeting him!

Just repost this here as it was buried in an irrelevant thread. Hope you don’t mind Jeff.

but...I also want to say that it's easy to get complacent if you are editing in your (home) studio because tweaks are simple on the computer. Then you get out on the gig like my situation and realize...
i agree that adjustments on the fly are an issue. I played a club yesterday where my guitar sound was very dark and muddy and the amount of menus and scrolling and paging I have to go through to get...
Hi
It sounds quite good, but nothing like a Princeton. Much more tweed like, and raunchy if you push it.
In my opinion you can do jazz with it, but more in the edge of break up style, like Grant...
Has anyone played or had a Supro Amulet ?
