I can't say that I listen to a ton of GG, but his groove is undeniable. And I feel like people underestimate how important that really is; audiences will get tired of flashy licks real quick if it...
I can't think of any guitarists who had BW's breathy sound, but the clarinetist Tony Scott was one musician who was strongly influenced by BW, especially on ballads:...
Thank you for your feedback on the Supro Amulet I hear a lot of good reviews about Quilter amps. They have piqued my interest for several years The Mach 3 is almost €500 more expensive than the...
Supro amps have their problems. I read this thread appreciating my Princeton Reverbs - thought about releasing one, but maybe it's better to hang on to it. Hearing all these great...
Heavy on "bro", "stoked", and so on, but worth a watch if you've gotten a custom shop guitar from Gibson recently.
And don't you just love those oval fretboard inlays? I do.
haha oddly enough I haven’t transcribed any GG. But I have listened to him a lot, and picked up something from it, I’m sure. As others have said, his lines have a wonderful clarity, and his time...
Also worth noting that GG was effectively the house guitarist for Blue Note. Alfred Lion obviously liked him, and recorded him on loads of albums. As far as I know the only other guitarist who...
I finally made up my mind and ordered a 7 string alnico II 59 bridge with a nickel cover to put in the neck position of my 335. I know I could swap magnets myself in one of my two existing 59s,...
With so many youthful wunderkind into the scene these days, we need firm rules to be set as a good example for all those "jazz minors".
The notes are more easily sung that way; half steps and leading tones. That tradition, as a choral tradition, became assimilated as a sound and once it became part of the compositional canon, it was...
Regardless of how rigid it is, adjustments are necessary over the lifetime of an instrument. My dad's steinberger had a carbon/fiber neck and fingerboard. No trussrod. Guaranteed against warping....
Because rules are tools for fools:) Most basic answer is that in jazz, the scale is not only used for melody, but harmony. This is why Christian and I have started a petition to call the scale...
I had never thought about the increased stiffness of a fingerboard fighting the truss rod adjustment, but I do believe it's likely a 'thing'. It's got to make for one rigid board. Of course, maybe if...
How did it evolved in jazz that the melodic minor scale is played the same way ascending or descending, that is, when descending the 6th and 7th notes are not flatted but raised as in when ascending?...
