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 had a Blu 10 (that I bought from a forum member) and a few months back, I sold it to another forum member. I have a Bud 6 and along with my Quilter Mach 3 combo and Quilter Superblock US, I think...

I have a bag of tools, spares and useful odds and ends that lives in my car. The tools include what I'd need for pretty much anything I know how to do. Part of gig planning is thinking about...
I once again have too many guitars. Two of them are L-4CES, one from 2003 which has the maple body, and one from late 2009 which has the mahogany body. The 2003 has two pickups, the 2009 is Wes-style...
Along those lines, don’t forget to carry the spares you need to finish the gig in the event of a failure. Just as a $10 bolt can end the race for a million dollar car, a $15 cable or a $2 fuse can...
If the exteriors of the cables all look the same - same color, same size, et al - then you have a problem. I intentionally don't do that. I make my own cables, both speaker and instrument, and I...
