I don’t think it’s advisable to post pictures of people in swimwear with respect to Metheny…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

Very nice! I didn't quite get what you meant about the walking bass and top note until I heard you play it, at which point I immediately knew what you meant. Joe does a similar thing in his solo...

Wow. I got my answer, which I knew but had forgotten - 5. I didn’t know this turned into such a thread. Maybe I’ll let you know how it goes at our next rehearsal. I think it’s a cross between King...

What do you call power chords with chord symbols?

It sounded very similar to the one I bought possibly a bit more pure cutting output. Heritage made sure Smith's were done well and carved correctly. They were about the acoustic element of these...

Mark - I bet you have spent a small fortune on tools of the trade.

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

Also, on that top crack, I glued some cross-grain cleats on the inside for reinforcement -

HUGE job to remove and replace the back - fortunately it wasn't necessary in this case since I was able to access the repair areas through the pickup rout and f-holes.

I imagine you'd have to put some kind of very thin nozzle on the end of the hose to inject the glue into such a small gap?

Yup, it's BB. I was originally going to use this photo w/ Sasha D & guitar, but BB wasn't wearing stripes. : )

This one I have to thank Deacon Mark for checking out while he was getting another one of the same model. This one is different in a few ways. It has a Kent Armstrong pickup with Schatten volume...

i wonder what speakers are in the 3 models (50, 100, artist) ? I actually like the speaker in the 50 a lot. Better than the Mesa Black Shadow I've been using which is super bright... When you hear...

Pleasantly surprised at the Katana 50 for a clean jazz tone

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?

Rob MacKillop not feeling well.
