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.
Very interesting post scgim.My question is who is buying tickets to see that sham.I remember last year there was a Yardbirds tour which only had the drummer from the original band.Better off and...
I usually give the ends of the wrapped strings a squeeze with the flat inside of a long nose pliers. They will fit the Gibson finger tail piece. You won’t have a easy time finding a different nickel...
I haven’t played the benson strings in years but I recall they’re like swings with higher tension (thicker gauges). I have mostly come to dislike flatwound strings but I recently tried dogal...
If i understand you correctly,you want a flatwound string like the Bensons that feel the same without the silk wrap.If this is the case then i don't think you will find a comparable one you like i'm...
I had a set of TI Benson 12's. They were the best set of strings I ever owned. Took about a month to break in, after that they kept their tone and tension for three years. (Sold the guitar.) The only...
That is a unique guitar design, vaguely indebted to Ken Parker for the headstock (as the luthier acknowledges) and a hint of the old Danelectro Convertible body shape (which may be coincidental). ...
Well, the original was a 1964 standard old Gibson ES 175, so the original one is probably consistent with the guitars of the day. It's an interesting question as to whether or not Gibson did anything...
Yes, the clip-on tuners I use for classical guitars are temperamental due to the nylon strings being softer, I'd say mushy compared to steel strings. It takes longer to tune.
I'll have to look into...
Well look at that! That turned out really nice. I like the new knobs, aesthetically speaking. Hoping that you have years of enjoyment with that guitar!
I hear more midrange, more "texture" in the vintage one. Granted it's not apples to apples but this is consistent with my experience about what makes vintage dearmond pickups unique in the first...
Strings comparable to TI Bensons without the...
