But where is the blues bass line, if there is one? That it uses Travis-picking is quite obvious, and yes, some people do seem to consider that a style... Maybe that's why classical guitar...

So what kind of blues is this (or not?)

Small world indeed. I’ve lived here since the late 80’s. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to learn that we share common acquaintances. Send me a PM with some names. Albert

[Sale Pending] Trenier Jazz Special

Yes there is interactive resonance between the guitar strings and the rest of the guitar, but the question is 1. To what degree do they affect each other and 2. How much does specifically changing...

I have never listened to Lennie Tristano other than accidentally; very nice to have this little rabbit hole to run down this afternoon and find out more. The Ethan Iverson article was quite...

Don Cherry on Lennie Tristano

If I work on thinking ahead of the changes, I hit less bad notes. The live videos I post are just clips someone else took so they go up clams and all. Funny enough, a cellphone pointed at me...

And if it's not made by the Fender factory, it's not even a "Telecaster." :topsy_turvy:

Telecaster - Single Coil or Humbucker?

Really? What about a telecaster that doesn’t have the string through the body design? Does this really make more of a difference than the pick ups?

Telecaster - Single Coil or Humbucker?

Thanks. I don't know that there's a definitive answer to that. I look at a lot of jazz Telecaster players (Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Ed Bickert, Ted Greene, etc.) and they seemed to migrate...

Telecaster - Single Coil or Humbucker?

Purists are tiresome: "Beans in it?! That aint TEXAS CHILI!!!" Fine. I don't care what you think. If need be, I'll say it's not chili, it's "chili". So, it's not a Telecaster, it's a...
