I'd never heard that but if it's true, it may have been unintentional, because Joe used to stick the pick in his mouth when he switched to playing fingerstyle (the pick came out for single line...
If you listen to jazz or analyze it transcribed, you see that all it is is short motifs developed or sequenced and longer ideas. So if you want to be fluent in jazz melody, that's what you have to...
That is rather steep for a P-90 175 even if it is a 50s. With PAFs it might be worth that ... or more. But how many 50s and 60s 175s still have their PAFs if they shipped with them.
I forgot that John covered Blue in Green on that album. In my opinion, that's his best album - side 1 anyway, side 2 is a long raga like piece. I transcribed a tune off that record, I'll post a...
I'm attempting to get my old Zoom 4 track recorder operating but I realized I'll need a new smart card and smart card reader too for it.... anyway, the tab I posted is pretty much what I play.
Here's today's story. I have been lusting for a good Gibson 335. Why, a few reasons, but I never had a full 335, had some variations but I want the real deal, and I wonder what I'm missing. Many of...

“Minimalism is a scam created by Big Small to sell more less.” Or something like that. My old guitar teacher (who was, himself a master jazz and classical musician) had a best friend whom he met...
a bit off track perhaps but relevant. like many, i have some horror stories about instruments and UPS. i've since avoided ups as much as i can, actually dropped my account some years back. used...
I clap on 1 and 3.
Gibson ES-135–it’s not fully hollow, but with the balsa wood block it is very resonant. Same body dimensions as the 175, though neck joint location is a little different. No problem playing...
Since I commented on Lawson's submission, I feel that I should post a clip of me playing. :smile-new:
I have used the GC in Fairlawn 4 times in the last 5 years. Of course I do my own repairs to I can't comment there. For the purchases, I bought on line, then went there to pick it up and out the door...
