Thank you. Now I have more choice. Best and take care.
I would guess that Pat’s prototype has the body of fg100/ jp20. Which have slightly less depth than pm100/200 etc. PM2 was closest to the original I think . let’s hope that Ibanez puts out a...
I agree with all of that. And, I still work to improve. It's just that I've narrowed my goals to furthering what I see as my own style. Then again, I'm 71 with arthritis. The bananas can't be too...
You know me, I am all about obsessing over how I hear things. That said, it really is psychosomatic. The way you hear directly effects what you play... that's a given. The way you hear also...
Hi all. I just read through all 21 pages of this thread because I have two questions and I wanted to make sure they weren't already asked. I got to see a post of mine from Aug 2019 when I was asking...

Week 19. Day 6. Modal Madness in Bb/C dorian. Tonight I decided to push myself with the tempos. Playing steady 8th notes isn't an issue, but trying to have room for a run of triplets was challenging....
Feels a little like kaleidoscope tab... :pride: How did you decide which is the root from which you assign the chromatic interval numbers? (Is that after the reordering/inversion? Or is there no...
Mr. B, I think you are too hard on yourself about your take. Hate to criticize our beloved backing tracks iReal or elsewise but... a good rhythm section doesn't play up tempo the same as mid...
John, that abstract was nice! Love the SelMac sound for it too. Rp, that's some "grown up" playing. I had originally tried this tune with a track that was about 260...I kept telling myself ,"just...
