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 wanted my solid body to sound more like an archtop, so I cut a strip from a cotton sock and did two-three rounds in between the strings by the bridge. Sounded nice :cool:
I’ve personally owned some 15 Heritage “old guard” guitars. Each was perfect in its own right. It’s a pity that you didn’t own, nor play, such a guitar from the original Heritage company. But like...

The legend 1058 has higher sensitivity and quite a bit less bass response than the beta 10. I made this same swap in my RE cab too (motivated by the increased sensitivity of the Legend) but...
