Do you find Filtertrons twangy? I know "twang" is a Telecaster thing but it's usually not a jazz thing.
The count is typically the number of beats in a bar and the time is beats per minute. For cut time, the counted beats are one and two, the quarter notes between the 2 beats are “ands” and the...

okay dude come on. You’re trying to say that jazz guitarists are influenced by blues guitarists and vice versa, yes? This is obviously true and I literally said that. Blues is an essential...
Single coils out of question for me. Not for the tone, which I rather like, but the hum makes them unusable in a lot of situations. And no, I don't wanna 'live with it', and the singers and...

Yeah, for a cat from Mississippi his playing sure was "uptown."
Language acquisition is facilitated by music and poetry. That is why lullabies and nursery rhymes exist which expose babies/toddlers to the rhythm and melody of their first language. I am lucky to...
