Etude 17 "Jazz Waltz" from Influences

Mooer Micro Looper vs. Ditto TC Electronic

Cal Collins

Thanks for the kind compliments - I’m glad you enjoyed it! I didn’t use a baritone, but all the guitars are tuned to DADGAD. The acoustic parts (two, I think) were played on a Loar LO-16, a...

NOT JAZZ: Wichita Lineman Instrumental Cover DADGAD

Love SG! Probably my father's (who was also a tenor player) favorite player? When I was growing up, he'd always have SG playing (along with his other favorite saxophonists). This was his...

The cool sound of Stan Getz

Hey Rpjazzguitar. My confusion about which you are asking results from a very simple thing - fear of wasting time ... I don't have much of it so I have to invest it wisely :) The point is that I want...

Scales/Arpeggios dillema

Hendrix played a white SG custom from time to time. There are a few video on youtube of this (I've seen one of him playing Red House with the Expericence, and another of him on the Dick Cavett show...

RIP Gibson Archtop guitar

Perhaps this is unnecessary, but I'll add it anyway. A Cmaj scale and a Cmaj13 are exactly the same notes (noting that Cmaj13 includes the 11th). That's true of Dm11 and so on thru the scale. ...

Scales/Arpeggios dillema

Anyone that was familiar with the recording coming from Concord should be aware of Cal Collins. I bought all of his Concord albums, just like I did the ones from Howard Alden. Younger...

We'll probably see a lot more jazz being played on Teles ala Ed Bickert.

Actually they’re owned by MusicTribe which has Behringer and Bugera among other divisions. And they seem to be pushing their performance and instruction stuff a lot.

Mooer Micro Looper vs. Ditto TC Electronic

That’s nice! Love the tone. But...is it Bridge of Sighs or Bridge of Shigs?? Bridge of Sighs - Wikipedia I have been to Venice but don’t remember seeing the Bridge of Sighs there. Another...

The bridge of sighs

I bought that same album--"Blues on My Mind"--about 40 years ago and it has long been a favorite. Found it in a used record store in Berkeley. Still have it! I was stunned too! Why is Cal not...

Cal Collins

And from what I’ve read his estate likes to capitalize on his name for good money deals. he sure don’t look happy with that V around his neck)

RIP Gibson Archtop guitar

This is fantastic - all of Prez's solos transcribed!

An interesting comparrison between Sonny Rollins and Warne Marsh

Well my partner’s wouldn’t fit in my double cab Tacoma once so we threw it in the bed, which is only 5 feet, so it still stuck out above the gate. Fortunately no rain that day! He drives a Lexus...

RIP Gibson Archtop guitar

I fully agree the DIAddario plains are brittle to me too. (Actually I find their flat sets brittle throughout.) IMHO the smoothest sounding plains are Thomastik Infelds. The same plains are in...

Are all plain strings the same?

Wow—that is top shelf for sure! Great sound—there are some other instrumental versions out there—I seemed to remember one from Pat Metheny with an acoustic baritone—but maybe I’m mixed up. I...
