Here's mine. As usual, I didn't know this one before. I wasn't going to post, but I listened to it today and I didn't hate it as much as I did last nite. And hopefully I'll continue with it during the month and improve.
Oh, that was better, sounds more thought-out. Familiarity with the tune helps, of course. No one's that good the first time. The blues sounds were good, suits the tune, I think.
Out of curiosity, what were the Garrison Fewell tips you were using, roughly? Not that I want to copy them or anything but for interest's sake.
It's one of the study threads in the Improvisation forum. It's to do with triads w/extensions to create lines. It's something I've been interested in for awhile now, but never found anything I seemed to "get". His book "A Melodic Approach" looked good and has really made sense to me so far.
I've no idea what this thread's about. To me, all that matters is how it sounds and whether it works. There are lots of things that work beautifully but don't necessarily follow the 'rules', whatever...

Speaking of Gatton, can we call him a jazz guitarist?
I sent that Holiday Inn gig he had with the...
I wouldn't be so sure. There was a time when Michael Stevens was one of the most respected builders on the planet. This guitar is from that era and it's being sold by someone who earned a lot of...

Personally I like the felt ukulele picks best, such a mellow tone :wink-new:
Are you using the Freddie Green approach with these big band charts, Allan?
This song screams "play me up tempo!" - to me anyway so I will comply. It must think I'm fast company. :cool:
I was listening to Tuck Andress play the other Time After Time today, think I'll...
There was a gorgeous Seventy Seven Koa top semi-hollow posted on this site a while back that made me weak in the knees.
Maybe the owner will post a pic for this thread.

Hello, Earth to Seller! No one will buy it at anywhere near your asking price!
Here's one that's been up there a year, price...
I started in on this today and played the first half quite easily. This arrangement seems less challenging from a physical standpoint than Rainy Day.
My goal with these arrangements is to get...
Yeah, in an actual band situation I might think different.
Interesting thing is in my experiments, thicker picks are not that much louder out front...
But they ARE louder to me while playing....
How bad is this?
