Here's mine. As usual, I didn't know this one before. I wasn't going to post, but I listened to it today and I didn't hate it as much as I did last nite. And hopefully I'll continue with it during the month and improve.
Oh, that was better, sounds more thought-out. Familiarity with the tune helps, of course. No one's that good the first time. The blues sounds were good, suits the tune, I think.
Out of curiosity, what were the Garrison Fewell tips you were using, roughly? Not that I want to copy them or anything but for interest's sake.
It's one of the study threads in the Improvisation forum. It's to do with triads w/extensions to create lines. It's something I've been interested in for awhile now, but never found anything I seemed to "get". His book "A Melodic Approach" looked good and has really made sense to me so far.

I concur. Your experience with the 12AT7 was pretty much the same as mine with the 4024 - it was just not crunchy enough for me. But what a sweet tone! As you suggest, it may be better to evaluate...
I wanted to point out that Monk's ballads are formidable af! Everyone knows Round Midnight, but he has a handful of others that are really good.

Reminds me of my beloved 66 Epi Howard Roberts Standard !
The neck was not a short scale, definitely longer that the one of the Byrdland I had at the same time, very similar to my teacher's ES175...
That's an interesting POV the OP has.
Personally, as still really a beginner at guitar, the *only* things I play when comping are inversions. Not as a rule, you know, but 90% of the time that's...
Excellent instruments can be had in that range, especially when buying used. Based on this price range I’ll echo the Eastman 580 CE once more.
