I learned an important lesson about fretboard knowledge last night. I pulled a little unplanned lick out of my rear-end that I liked, so I transcribed it later in my practice. Turns out it was in a fingering I don’t practice that much, but I can sort of hack my through the weeds if I fall into them. Thing is, this lick is not something I think could be played comfortably on the guitar in my comfort positions.

Chuck didn’t dare go up against the Prince of Darkness...

Yeah it’s odd, Miles recorded it in 1954, I think it then became a ‘jazz standard’ - you’d think Chuck would want to try and register it at that point to get some royalties on the composition. He was still active in the 50s and 60s I believe.
Wikipedia says he was a staff guitarist at CBS during the 1960s - maybe that was a reasonable source of income, so he wasn’t bothered about a few royalties. But I don’t know really.
Maybe sgcim on this forum would know something about it, he’s pretty knowledgeable on guys like Chuck Wayne.

Those elements are not easy to prove, and it's expensive to bring a lawsuit.

Archtop is getting a setup so got a Tele for this one.

A little quicker now. Low production quality. More playing, less time fussin'.

OK, so here's another. When I mixed this down form Garageband to iTunes I listed the composer as Chuck Wayne. Everybody feel better now?
