Holy smokes that sounds amazing. And no neck dive I'm guessing.
Talk about clueless on this topic, and yet still pontificating endlessly about it. The 3 guys you mention, Holdsworth, McLaughlin and Allman couldn't swing if the lives of their children depended on...
Yeah. Upright bass players swing. Wynton has said (I think in Ken Burns, can't remember) that he knows if you can swing or not when he hears your quarter note.

Carpenter's Guitar and Amp works makes archtop plugs. He's on Reverb. I just received a pair for my Heritage Eagle. They are $75 with free shipping. I did a tracing of my f-holes and sent it to him...
True it's not a simple academic system that if you do this one thing like keep a perfect triplet, you'll be swinging. But you can still explain the traits that improve and achieve swing. Rhythm isn't...
