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 used the contact email on that site and asked (thanks). I am just at the beginning of a custom commission process with a luthier and was looking for some historic accurate information. I am not...
I was blessed to see Jack Pearson and Dickey Betts perform together with the Allman Brothers Band back in the late 1990’s. That was a great duo. Pearson was playing a G&L Legacy with blue swirl...
Contact Paul Alcantara at the prewargibson L5 sight. He has a whole bunch of information and site that keeps track of things like this. He is very knowledgeable and good and returning email....

Well I agree with you. I just couldn't get on with the big fat tree trunk V neck. Considering it's value, I just could not keep it. Was in the middle of a masters degree program and I needed a...
Maybe something loose somewhere. Maybe a failing speaker. Impossible to tell with any certainty from just that video. I only hear anything on the last few strums. I would make sure everything on...
Jim Hall played with Ben Webster and said he learned a lot from him, i.e. to use fewer notes, and think more melodically.
He talks about it about halfway through this interview:

I’ve messing with slide in standard tuning lately, yet again. I have found some good resources on the subject but the best advice is rather simple. I think I heard Jack Pearson say it.

I have booked a jazz guitar weekend in Huddersfield and will stay 2-3 June in Manchester. Could you tell me the shipping costs to Ibis Styles Manchester Portland? How will you pack the amp, as I plan...
