The usual way is to put the narrow end at the tailpiece, the wide end at the end of the body. It works fine on most guitars, but one with the strap button in a recessed heel can be a little more...
I'd say that with most vintage archtops the end reward when you deal with those niggles is well worth it. It's not an especially valuable or rare instrument, but I bought a 1960 Levin 335...
The top on my BK Custom sagged so bad, they had to raze the entire top and rebuild it. I got rid of it, because it sounded like a POS. Jzucker, I wanted to ask you if you ever got anything out of...
Is that supposed to be the same piece? In the course video material Mike clearly introduces it as "my tune Nitpickin'". A certain Danny Gatton wrote a tune by the same name though spelled as 2...
But where is the blues bass line, if there is one? That it uses Travis-picking is quite obvious, and yes, some people do seem to consider that a style... Maybe that's why classical guitar...
Small world indeed. I’ve lived here since the late 80’s. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to learn that we share common acquaintances. Send me a PM with some names. Albert
Yes there is interactive resonance between the guitar strings and the rest of the guitar, but the question is 1. To what degree do they affect each other and 2. How much does specifically changing...
I have never listened to Lennie Tristano other than accidentally; very nice to have this little rabbit hole to run down this afternoon and find out more. The Ethan Iverson article was quite...
If I work on thinking ahead of the changes, I hit less bad notes. The live videos I post are just clips someone else took so they go up clams and all. Funny enough, a cellphone pointed at me...
Steve Howe liked it a lot... from The Yes Album (1971)
The string-through-body design really makes a difference in how a Telecaster handles string vibrations. When the strings run through the body, they anchor more firmly, which helps transfer vibrations...
Years ago I found Jim Ferguson's books on comping and soloing helpful in making the transition from folk/country blues to jazz blues, along with a lot of careful listening to the masters. No idea...
"the note I want" What is the nature of this note (note name, scale degree, chord tone/extension/alteration, relative interval, fingering, pitch, other)? How far in advance do you know the note...
Hey, Spook. I figured you might chime in. I'm still too pissed to really talk about it, but I'll address your points. First off, I thought I was going to be ok if the instrument was less than I...
I routed both a tele pup and a hum form P90 in the neck spot. I then wired them in series with a spin a split and a phase switch. So you have the choice of 2 different neck pickups and you can roll...
A few bad notes or a missed chord
