How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of...

My impression with "sound persons" is that they're all fans of house, rave or whatever the current version is called and try to make everything sound like that without even trying to understand the...

In-ear Monitors for a Big Band

, Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your pending order. I gig out with my 1990 Benedetto Cremona built by Bob. I've played a few of the Savannah built instruments and you are in for a real treat....

Honeyblonde/Espresso Bravo Question

Sure, they could sound better on a case-by-case basis. Much the same as an L7. An L12, L7, L10 or and L4 can do quite well against an L5 for playing in any practical sense. The problem is that they...

Would an L-12 scratch that itch?

I have two amp handles with no amps to use them on, unfortunately. The black one was fitted for a very short period of time and looks barely used. The brown one is unused. These are very high quality...

Brookwood Dog Bone leather amp handles (blk & brown)

I bought this for a 5f1 champ that I ended up selling. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit in my current amp (Swart Jr.) and I doubt that I’ll be buying any other amps for a long while. So, this guy is up...

Here are three references: Gibson ES-150 - Wikipedia The Original ES-150 | Vintage Guitar(R) magazine Gibson ES-150 - VintageGuitarEncyclopedia.com Neck-end strap buttons weren't standard on...

L-5, L-50, ES-150 questions

I'll gladly watch Rick's interviews, they're great, but here he's getting dazzled and worked up about a bunch of repackaged clichés with slick productions. Much ado....

AI music, yikes, it's improving fast

I guess I'm thinking of medium and small sized business. What will happen, or has already happened, is that businesses that need music will bring the creative in house, rather than calling a music...

AI music, yikes, it's improving fast

If one would like to, at sometime, own an early acoustic L5 before they shuffle off this mortal coil, and in the meantime a nice L12 came along, would that scratch the itch? Are all L12s, in...

Would an L-12 scratch that itch?

As you can read in the ad, this was recently refinished and is in dead mint condition as a result (except for a bit of fading on the pickup covers). I can do a little better for Forum members. ...

That's the rub, people aren't in charge of business when it's a corporation. So, no matter what is good for the people, be it a 4 day work week, higher pay, more vacation (all have been proven to...

AI music, yikes, it's improving fast

When you're using no amps and everything is in ear, you're at the mercy of the sound person. I did "Smoky Joe's Cafe" (the show), for a whole summer, and the contractor came down to hear it. He said...

In-ear Monitors for a Big Band

Wish I felt the same way. However, the whole job of generative AI is to emulate humans based on what we have created in the past. Given the resources being applied, I believe we will get there with...

AI music, yikes, it's improving fast

There was a whole industry called pre-press that was almost entirely shut down by Photoshop, Quark and desktop scanners in a matter of a few years. Look what DAW did to recording studios, and what...

AI music, yikes, it's improving fast

I think actually simplifying the chord changes to their essence is a little more important. The Barry Harris changes are pretty useful in that respect. If someone is working out the form, I think...
