Tritone chord root movement

The jazz sound started with tubes, mainly because they were around for many decades before transistors. If you want to sound like early jazz players like Charlie Christian, or other 50-60s jazz...

Poll - Solid State vs Tube Amps for Jazz Guitar

Don’t forget the King of the Delta Blues. Robert Johnson lived 27 years, during which time he recorded a total of 29 songs in the only 2 sessions he ever did. He married a 14 year old when he was...

SNL staff guitarist?

This song has been on repeat for me since I heard it. Pete's solo is dead simple, and yet I think it's one of the most beautiful guitar solos I've heard. Had the day off today and some free time in...

Mr. Goodchord's Almanac of Guitar Voice-Leading

Just revised the lead sheet for like the 8th time trying to remove all redundant accidentals and get everything correct. I'm gonna kill that program. I think it's perfect now. Sounds good! Thx

JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 1) - Blue Monk in minor

Thanks for the post Marty. Yours is the real thing; mine is just a facsimile but I'm still glad to have it. They're so unique.

Japanese MANN Howard Roberts guitar (Ibanez 2453 ?)

The Audo Plug in Scam

Just to say a little more about the late sixties: when I was there, standards with walking base, ride cymbal and 2-5's sounded way too much like my parents music for my liking. At age 70 I listen...

Wynton vs Herbie 1985

I saw the video and said to myself, if he doesn't do a null test then I won't believe him. Well, he did a null test and I do believe him.

The Audo Plug in Scam

This appears to be the newer version, with Bluetooth. It's a fabulous price. Unfortunately, I would need it in Paris.

Henriksen Bud 6 for sale UK

I know many on this forum still love polytone amps, and others are curious. In an effort to reduce my number of amps to single digits, I am offering up two polytone amps. Both are in great working...

Polytone Mini Brute ii (x2)

Absolutely evocative and beautiful. I second Jbn's suggestion of acupuncture. I have pretty severe arthritis in my hands (especially in the thumb joints), but after doing acupuncture once a week...

Skylark

Couldn't agree more. Hope I haven't been high handed on this... Love Okazaki BTW. Him and Kleinhaut are good examples of great playing with completely different technique. In the end, who cares...
