Howard Roberts Super Chops: study group for a tune based practice routine

Ibanez AF55

I get the feeling it would either have been great, or really awkward...no in between. SRV isn't my bag, but I don't deny his greatness...Double Trouble though, to my ears, was often just a backing...

What are players looking for when learning chord melody?

I tried pure nickels many times from various brands including D'addario. I wanted to like them but I find them uninspiring. I guess it's all personal preference.

I have the Interblock 45 and haven't noticed any problem with clean headroom. Could you be more specific?

Quilter SuperBlock US pedal amp laden with features

Over a period of more than 60 years I bought well more than 200 guitars, mostly sight unseen. The problem with restricting yourself to guitars you can try out in person is that it greatly limits the...

Ibanez Byrdland Questions
