Maybe "good" is an understatement even... There are enough opera singers who use a "wild" vibrato for the exact same reason (or so one might conclude...), or even "ease into" every note from below......
Yes, while chess (unlike life) is definitely a closed universe, it is not fully deterministic simply because there is an opponent who can make choices. Open up that universe and increase the...
Tasteful what he does there, but what an utterly uninteresting, extremely muffled sound... That singer could easily copy with a "bit" more present accompaniment! If that's an immature Samara...
Whoa, that Campy with P90s. Nice modern alternative to this.
That guy is incredible, my dream is actually to be able to play like that, when I'm no longer in bands and just sitting at home entertaining myself. I'm not a finger style player AT ALL- a don't even...
The spirit of real prog has always been one of innovation, with the doors wide open. I love the way Kurt Rosenwinkel can seamlessly blend his rock and jazz roots. We're a long way from "Starship...
OK so I took delivery of a Fender Player Telecaster which I proceeded to copper insulate the body, as I do with all my solid body guitars. The guitar is stupendously quiet, even with stock single...

She’s been the hot new thing for a bit. Really amazing singer and Pasquale is on both her albums. Probably takes a Pasquale Grasso to comp for her in an interesting way because she’s got Sarah...
No, you can’t. PMB’s advice to avoid voicings in which the highest note is also being sung by the vocalist is generally sound counsel. Playing the same note that’s being sung can divert from the...
Friends, our poll closes in one hour. The major networks are calling it for scrapple. Well stick with that one, and will poll a couple of off-the-beaten-track tunes for our next tune.
The boundaries between those 2 types can be pretty vague if you accept that archtops can also "arched by glueing on preformed braces" (under constraint, whatever). That would in fact make just about...
A little help explaining shielding with archtop...
