I did a bit of research into this over my masters and one theme that comes up again and again in the ethnographies and case studies of jazz education is this sort of weird tension between the...
Teach = impart knowledge, which implies that the students are getting it. If they aren't, you aren't teaching, rather, attempting to teach, or maybe not even that: there are plenty of "saboteurs" in...
This is a Burley carrier, getting quite popular over here. With this even a heavier amp/cab would pose no problem. I am just now configuring a light-weight 6.5" cab (like a BUD) coupled with a...
I really meant real talent not just a regular awesome player. Some can progress 10x times than the normal speed. A very few even faster. If one of those talents would be being good at teaching...
I bought the book and have gone through some of it, still working with it. I think it's great, lots of lines, lots of material to study, and the style of Rodney Jones is very clearly presented. I...
After all the great advice, I went ahead and ordered the Gator Pro-Go 335 case. I called them and they said it would handle the Bigsby. And it was on sale on Amazon for $169. I hope it really...
It's true, holding the guitar is a variable best eliminated.
Yea... I guess that's why I tend to not put in practice time memorizing tunes, I learn them at Gigs. Which is the result of having the technical skills to understand charts, which are really just an...
Archtop in a gig bag slung over my back, amp strapped on a rear carrier. Easy enough if you're a seasoned biker, though I'd probably leave the L5 at home.
Yea... some interesting comments. While I was at Berklee, I sat in at gigs with faculty all the time. Point is some students are just what they are. I watch lots of light bulb moments at gigs......
The discussion seems to have three intertwined branches ... one touching the technical characterization of jazz, another touching the more artistic aspect of (jazz) music and the third touching the...
I think the Cm in bar 8 is not a great choice as a transition from Eb7 to G. You might try subbing in Cm to D7 in that space. Sounds better to me but not great. Maybe D9 to D9#11. Try the...
Sure is! But I prefer both the electric & acoustic sounds of an L-4CES to those of a 175 for jazz. And when it’s your only gigging guitar, and it has to handle everything from bop to rock, there’s...
If memory serves, Joe Diorio played an L4-CES occasionally back in my GIT days circa 1983. Although I also saw him with an ES-175 quite often as well. This image is from his album--one of my all time...
