What beats an L5?

Agreed … also interesting note, there’s a killer G major lick in Cornet Chop Suey (from what … 1930?) that looks an awful lot like this one.

I am thoroughly impressed with this AA Pro. Full disclosure, I didn’t even know they existed until I first stumbled upon this one. I did know about Genzler’s Genz Benz amps that were out a while...

I'm not sure why you feel the need to scoff at people practising something which they might not have a career in. It seems to me that in doing this, you're scoffing by extension at the many people...

Benedetto buys pickups from Seymour Duncan, AFAIK. I'm sure they don't wind their own pickups.

Armstrong or SD Benedetto S-6

I've just recently got my first hollowbody, and I set the neck pickup for 4/64ths on the treble side, and 6/64ths on the bass side. Gibson specs, and seems to work well. On the solid bodys the neck...

I may have done, I can't remember now :-) It depends entirely on the context. I'd say that's the bottom line. Done skilfully it can sound terrific. But I wouldn't call that a wrong note, or notes....

The New Campellone fall batch

My fault, I thought you meant the chord D over C, not just the note. So, D on C. Then it's C add 9 or CM9 if the C was CM7. I'd still say colorful to a musical ear. But you didn't say whether it's...
