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 been listening to "Shapes of Things" from that recording on a regular basis ever since my band played it in my high school's rock concert in 1972. Enduring.
I'm amused by this preciosity about headstock shapes. Epiphone has been all over the place, but so has Gibson, especially pre-war. Not to forget Yamaha (I love the SA2200 headstock, not others) or...
What, Donna Lee sportin' a cowboy hat and boots, maybe brandishing a whip to prod ya' all to play faster? That could be entertaining, and certainly a challenge to add country twang at a high speed....
Between the thinner semi-hollow Yamaha and the fully hollow archtop depth of the PM200, I can't imagine much similarity at all—past them each utilizing humbucker pickups (and those of surely...
Hi
I wonder if you can help me please.
i bought a new amp today, a fender 57 deluxe reissue.
I am getting that thing where there is an electrical buzzing until you touch the strings or a...
If I understand correctly the Steve Howes came with the L5-style bridge, the zigzag tailpiece, yellowed binding, butter bean tuners and a fat switch knob.
Like many people, there were 3 reasons I...
A '53 Aschado by Alfred Schaufuss, apparently (I assume they found a label or signature), and not for sale:
Aschado Jazz, Alfred Schaufuss, 1953 | German Vintage Guitar
I don't envy your precision measuring equipment, but boy do I envy the guitar! Unless the top and bottom E sound weaker than the rest, even after adjusting pole screws, I'd not be worried.
It absolutely depends on the guitar as a dearmond is a microphonic pickup so it responds to the acoustic environment.
I also could do a video comparing a vintage 1000 ( no polepieces ) and a...
Just re-listened to Truth. Man, what a great album. Jeff and Rod should have never split, and maybe they wouldn’t have if they called the band “Truth.” All the other masterpieces Jeff did could have...
Electrical buzzing advice sought please
