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 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...

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...
Ben Webster had a real voice on the instrument. His breath informed each note in a way that a spoken or sung voice brings a lyric to life. It's dynamics and space as much as note choice. I've been...
Usenet was created from its precursors in 1980, "personal computers" in 1981 if you consider the original IBM PC to be the 1st of that class though there were already "home computers" by 1977...
