I recently purchased this from a JGF member and find it a wonderful instrument at an absurdly reasonable price. My go to instrument is a 7 string custom 17” jazz box and my thought was to find something a bit more ergonomic for longer playing sessions. The Jazz Elite is perfect in this regard: only 5.6 lbs, 2.25 body depth, 1.75 nut, 25.0 scale, fully carved maple with spruce, loud acoustically. But although it is in the ballpark, it doesn’t sound quite as good as a full sized jazz box (duh!) and I miss the 7th string. So I am offering it for exactly what I bought it for: $1600, your shipping. You can read much more about this model on Lou’s website, Guitars ’n Jazz, he designed it with Eastman. Why is it so inexpensive? Apparently the previous owner took shipment on it during a winter cold snap and there is some finish checking on the face. It is difficult to see in the photos but in various lights you can see it. The back is unscathed. I researched it before buying and apparently it does not compromise the structure or sound in any way - many older guitars have this, and it can also be cosmetically improved with the addition of more finish. To me it is of little consequence except that it necessitates this lower price.
They're not presented online played in perpetuity, so that would be impossible. It means a bit more work copying out the notes into MS, but once you've done one copy of the 59 note exercise (in this...
This really isn't the case with 16th note exercises at above the tempo of 200bpm. It's playing it back so fast that it reveals every weakness in your time/technique..

After keeping the guitar out on a stand for several days, playing it daily, and wiping it down times a day with a clean microfiber cloth, I am thinking the situation is improving. I do think the...
Let me say that I'm talking strictly in terms of technical studies that have nothing to do with playing jazz.
Many people have recommended not using the metronome as a crutch.
In this case, you're...
I suppose, since the OP was talking about technical studies, and not learning a Charlie Christian solo, it might depend on the particular technical studies to which the OP refers, and what technique...
Good point, an electronic score is going to be artificially rigid, and lacking the subtleties of a musician's rendition because how they play/phrase the notes is at least as important, or possibly...
There will be overlap in the styles of the tunes sir. If you want to do something unique, then you call the tune.
No, that caused too much upheaval last time. And I said I thought it was just a...
