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.

The video I posted above suggests that it was common practice for Gretsch to use a long flat-head screw to tighten the neck joint, this was then covered by a glued in plug. The video shows this being...
I don't have 15 more seconds to post on this thread. Mark Campellone has built a few archtops exactly like what you describe - heavily built, carved, high end CES-style electric archtops. Pay him...
