Is peerless the closest we have to a Gibson ES-175 clone?

I can't tell if you're joking or just this pompous. It's called power chord and 90% of guitar songs are played with them, the other 9% being cowboy chords.

notating 7/4 and 4/7 chords

There is no system. We have the opportunity, in education and media, to learn different viewpoints, and consider their merits. Even if we had no more than Fox, MSNBC and PBS, we would have at least...

Death of USA made guitars

There seems to be some basic confusion on buying and selling guitars versus actual investments. If you had put that $2835 for the Yamaha in a very basic interest bearing account earning 4% it would...

Buying guitars as an investment

Bless you for your due diligence. I’m playing Ab7(9) for that one and they’ll have to correct me

naming chords?

Dm11 implies D F A C E and G. The chord I'm asking about omits A and G. I understand that I can put the notes on a stem and they aren't too hard to read (at least in this key), but I'm still...

notating 7/4 and 4/7 chords

But I like delta for a triad, And the minus sign sometimes indicates a flatted note other than the third. Jazz notation is consistently inconsistent. Saw a chart the other day with “Ab9” — is that...

notating 7/4 and 4/7 chords

I’m not sure whether it is an error in the specifications on the sheet or whether this neck just turned out to be a little fatter than usual and I no longer have another one to compare it to directly...

MINT gorgeous 2024 G&L USA ASAT Bluesboy Semi-hollow custom order.

If major is a triangle, I'm happy with lower case m for minor. I also appreciate it when the engraver takes the trouble to increase the font size of the chord symbols, especially if there are...

naming chords?

Are you saying that the spec sheet was inaccurate? I ask because I have heard they can be undependable, which would certainly be something to be aware of when ordering online. I am actually...

I feel like we should let Pan60 write how he/she likes. I left school with no qualifications and am dyslexic. I can't spell for toffee. I'm nervous every time I write in case it's not good...

Paul Desmond and anybody else.

Favorite jazz musician pairings?

What really gets me is when someone gives the same chord two or three different names on a chart - make up your mind, dammit! :frown-new:

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.
