Are there good jazz guitar VSTs?

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

I toyed with that this evening. I kind of like how light the maj7 makes it sound, but I put a Dom 7 in there around bar 7-8. It might be too noodly now. ...

Does anyone have any insight on this WesMo? The price is very reasonable… Hutchins has some validity… Any thoughts…

Thanks very much. I actually use quite a bit of mic’d amp and DI in my mix for the body of the sound with the mike on the guitar mostly addi mg the stringy tizz and acoustic realism. Glad you like...

What comes of decades of “noodling”?

My modified D'aquisto jazz line

Thanks for the suggestions! Sorry, I meant Zephyr. Tired today and I did own a Triumph Regent years ago like the guy from Hot Club of Cowtown has. Gotta get my models right now that I own two...

Super cool ... ... one small point. The arpeggios in the main riff seem to be min7 off the thirds of the dominant chords in the blues form. You might want to lower those fifths. In context, the...

I would say go with a Gibson pickup. The 57 Classic is simply a superb archtop humbucker. If you want to try something with a P90 angle, the humbucker sized Gibson P94 is also a really nice pickup. ...
