1956 Gibson ES-125

New guitar for Wes?

Sounds good. I wish D'Angelico would make their version of an ES-125.... That Excel 59 keeps tempting me...

Me too.

Listen to and study Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello”. The music is very “cinematic” in much the same way that most great classical pieces are, imho. The music is full of...

Classical repertoire as a resource in improvisational solo design

Very early in my electric guitar journey I almost bought a Firebird (which sounded great), but the downside was obvious even to clueless teenage me, and I passed. Vees and Explorers never appealed...

A friend who knows KB personally, told me that was legit, so I too contributed.

Kenny Burrell Trio (1990)

That's Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick, one of the founders of Incognito (to the left of Charlie, playing the wine-colored Tele-like axe through a JC-120) and still with the band now. He ended this session...

Charlie Allen (Incognito guitarist) info?

I'm kind of lucky, I guess. I've never really had much GAS. When I was starting out on the guitar, back in the seventies, I lusted after a Strat. I bought a new one with money from my Saturday job. I...

Hello. There are some valid points made in the video. The only way to be able to come to the conclusions mentioned though, one would have had to suffer years of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), which...

Mental check on buying a good guitar

On a big bass amp it sounds "good", a lot of bottom ends. Acoustically it sounds like this. https://youtu.be/2tQgnbNITOs Blended with the piezo and some compression (no amp), it sounds like...

Bass guitar or double bass ? What do you prefer here ?

Never mind, see that you posted it.

Voice Lead Arpeggio Changes

Can you elaborate on this a bit or give an example? I'm trying to come up with more of these. Thanks

Voice Lead Arpeggio Changes

I guess there's been no update since the controversial gofundme a few years ago. I contributed, hope he really needed it.

Kenny Burrell Trio (1990)

Regarding point #1: I can assure you that owning and gigging with a "valuable" 1990 Benedetto Cremona does not suck at all. What I find ironic is this: let's just place a dollar value on my guitar of...
