A while ago I made a transcription of a Joe Pass solo fingerstyle version of Joyspring, as I was fascinated to know how he made this into an effective solo guitar arrangement (I worked it out from that youtube video where he plays to some people in a guitar shop, plus bits from another version he recorded).
It’s an absolute pig to play, I still can’t play it properly. Increased my respect for Joe no end. Especially as in the youtube video he starts talking while he plays it!
I am a big fan of the Bud 6 and I rate it on its own terms as well as in terms of portability

Mine played great right out of the case. I may not be as picky as some, but I for sure know when a guitar could use some attention. I waited about 5 or 6 months before doing anything. As a newborn I...
Thx. That's what I'm looking for. Scheming what to do because I might want to work on rock/metul too with guitar sounds controlled by my keyboard. Dunno if I want to devote time to it tho.
Have a look at Ample Sound - amplesound.net
Guitar sounds via Midi - so you could play a regular piano which has a midi output and use that to create guitar sounds. If you go to the review section...
