Here’s a little article I did on Jaco pastorius....

Jgbe Virtual Jam, Round 2

Need advice on a trade

Hah, supposedly to move from 9 in the draft to 6, not that it matters, GM Howie Roseman will screw up the pick regardless. Birds are a mess just 3 yrs after winning the Supe and fired Pederson last...

Always on the lookout for more Barry Galbraith

It probably is Barry. They recorded it after the film came out, and Barry was first call for everything, so maybe they couldn't get BB for the separate session afterwards. I had "Wind" on vinyl,...

Always on the lookout for more Barry Galbraith

This is from an ad on DHgate [China]; sells for AUD $399. They don't have a headstock image on this particular sellers page though. Cheers

Is this a fake Gibson?

Week 7. Day 4 of BBB at 125 bpm. Ramping up the tempo is certainly getting more challenging. Like last night, the first time through, especially the initial passes in the first few minutes is like...

Howard Roberts Super Chops: study group for a tune based practice routine

That's awesome! A wealth of information! My friend Will Sellenraad encouraged me to work on playing approach notes to the chord tones a scale step above then a half step below, as well as the other...

Howard Roberts Super Chops: study group for a tune based practice routine

Thank you, JBN! I now see how the #11 becomes the 5th and what a great sound that is. I think instinctively that's what I've been doing on the B7#11 to the Dm7, but in this case the #11 becomes the...

@ 449$ unreal! cheers

epi's slight return

I have a Levin 335 acoustic archtop (nothing in common with a Gibson ES335), I haven't measured the rim depth but it's under 3'', lower bout is just over 16". Strange construction, has a single...

Thinline acoustic archtop?

What seemed interesting about the 275 in question is the rosewood FB. I’ve seen them with richlite boards but rosewood seems uncommon. The seller claims to work at Gibson so is it possible that this...

Need advice on a trade

We’re gonna shoot for a meet up on Sunday to test drive each guitar. The seller suggested coming to me but I don’t exactly like the idea of giving out my address to somebody I don’t know. Instead,...

2003 Epiphone Emperor Regent

I dig that worn ebony model! I might have to finally pull the trigger on a casino now.

epi's slight return

Circa 1970 Guild CA100. Carved top and the rims are less than 3 inches IIRC. Most came with dearmonds. Not hard to find at 1500--1800 dollars. TBH the acoustic sound is not the best.

Thinline acoustic archtop?

I started playing unplugged in consideration of my wife, and discovered that I actually preferred it. I don't have the vocabulary to describe it; it just feels right. What sound am I seeking?...

Thinline acoustic archtop?

Hi Paul, 1st thank you for your post and the nice things you said. Your guitar is a beautiful piece of history. It has that unmistakeable Epiphone cutaway profile. Love it. Your Emperor Regent is...
