Cool. Dictation. Cool. I hear you regarding misapplication transcribe. It presents a problem for me. That's why I came up with "ear transcribing," which is still not quite right. But since I...

Getting hung up on rhythms when transcribing

Wow - I obviously haven't bought one from them in a while. My Twin (formerly Jazzkritter's) came to me with a very nice d2f cover. But they went out of business 6 or 7 years ago after a death in...

Well I think that's good. It all depends on what you're going after. As a writing exercise transcribing it is great. As a learning process for what the soloist is doing - it's just too long winded....

Excellent. I will judge them in the balance and find them wanting.

Getting hung up on rhythms when transcribing

I keep trying to remember to look at mine when I go home, and I forget. I will check out my ZR and see how it compares to yours. For some reason I recollect thinking the bridge was a bit high, but...

Covering the Quilter: Folded flat: I made the one for the Champion 20 first, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. At the time it didn’t come with a cover and the only ones I could find that fit cost...

Yeah this makes sense. Honestly it’s a bit like what I tell myself I do already. I think what I’m reminding myself of here is just that I don’t do it as faithfully as I like to think. And for an...

It is not. Young people are terrible and ruining language obvs

Getting hung up on rhythms when transcribing

Sometimes when transcribing, I don’t like a note someone played in a phrase, I’m sure it was a slight mistake or fingering error (usually this would be in a fast solo). So I change it to what I...

Getting Transcriptions Wrong

Would love to see a pic of that ^^ Just ordered one from Custom Amp Covers only because they came up first in a google search and half the price of a Tuki. We shall see.

Also see the thread regarding writing down rhythms. You don't have to write stuff down, and reading stuff is good for reading, but has nothing to do with transcription/ear-learning as an activity. ...

Thanks nshsi, as posted I'm aware of them and I've heard only positive comments. Their website is very detailed unlike Lecover which could use some work. A standard Studio Slips Twin Reverb cover w...

Just a moment... This doesn't "beat" an L5 of course but for the money you get pretty darn close in terms of the acoustic sound as far as I can tell (and as close as you want in the electric...

What beats an L5?

Yeah, that’s the one that I was thinking of. It’s in my library but nothing has come up on my random play in a long time. I think his real forte is more of an avant garde type of thing.

I've made a couple out of duct tape -- one for a Fender Champion 20 and the other for a Quilter Aviator Cub. They came out surprisingly well -- a bit stiffer than cloth, but still foldable and are...
