Getting Transcriptions Wrong

I don't write out transcriptions either. Everything is easier to learn the second time, or 3rd.... or the 100th if it's the dang bridge to Caravan. If I've learned 200 songs, 150 of them are the...

Were you on the right side of the pond, this lovely guitar would already be mine !

Eastman T146SM

Ha ha ! Sorry, no tube, not good !

Now if only it had built in reverb...

It looks to me as if the neck angle may be the primary cause of the bridge height, along with the installed height. It certainly shouldn't need a reset, ever. I don't really see a problem with the...

Epiphone Zephyr Regent

Dear jazzers, You're too kind with your comments. Thanks for that. I am very glad if my playing is moving you. I feel honored, but I also know who I am and who I am not. I like to take for...

Slaman Super 400 with CC pickup

this is one of my total favourites - both this rhythm head and the whole glorious album I hope it's not just me.... (it's a recognised classic - yes?) I hope so. this is years before he made...

Summer of Rhythm … Changes?

Joe Pass had a huge impact on my approach to learning to improvise when - somewhere in his well known video - he recommends that you try to play straight eighths through the changes. the good bit...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

i don't know. I try to use as few BIAB features as possible. It's a pretty horrible program with a 1980s style interface. I've never used their guitar tab feature

Anyone else use Genius Jamtracks?

Barry Harris used to teach that BTW. Nice one Charlie.

For what it’s worth, I think most folks of my generation would describe this as transcribing. Means literally to turn into script, but the most folks in my cohort use it to encompass any focused...

My drummer said she used to wash his and other students sweaters when they were @ Berkley for extra $ He said she couldn't play a lick then but her boyfriend, another student, was very good and she...

I also think that there MAY be some in the boat I'm in, which is that I'd buy the TF if some of the other guitars I had listed would sell.

2013 Gibson Custom Crimson Tal Farlow Archtop Guitar VSB

This is very well thought out and presented. Thanks. There is a way to think about soloing using the same ideas. Maybe it's obvious. You start with Bb6, so you play Bb Ionian. Think of Bb as...
