That’s interesting my 175 has a skinny little neck (60s) and I would say it encourages me to play three fingered much of the time. Which is something Pete does. Sent from my iPhone using...

What's with all the weird Jazz guitars people buy?

I tuned my guitar with my Peterson strobo tuner, and I'm reasonably confident that it's in tune. Then I try to play along with something on the Internet and 90% of the time I am nowhere close to in...

Why is the internet out of tune, and what can you do?

Jazz and Blues Single Note Soloing Recommendations ?

Yes, great! Can you recommend any recordings, transcriptions, exercises (or resources) that I could start with?

Jazz and Blues Single Note Soloing Recommendations ?

My 2nd guitar is Squier thinline tele with Fender wide range (i think thats what they called?) humbuckers, and it's also a beautiful thing. The best jazz tone of any teles I played. And in a full...

Telecaster: Single coil or Humbucker?

Yea I do, totally. I tried some regular humbuckers, and it was... weird. But Filtertrons in a tele is like Gin with Tonic, it's just made to be, it's natural. The bridge twang and growl, the neck...

Telecaster: Single coil or Humbucker?

You could play the melody and bass together (bass will follow the harmonic rhythm of the tune, not an actual walking bass line).

Different "Ways" of Learning/Practicing a Jazz Standard

I did not get it was about 2/2… classical conductors do not count at all and it works but in most cases with 2/2 the music is familiar or explained before Brahms 4th symphony is a good example...
