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 have Martin's duo course. It's great. He makes it look effortless.
We refer verbally to the course during our duo practice ( I took notes and discussed with singer ).
I've only played with an organist about twice, and long ago. Just hit me that you guys were tweaking all those switches and stops long before us guys had all the dang stomp boxes!

I would rather say slightly prefers, we both like them both a lot but that night with the setups we used He, I, and several listeners agreed if it was blind listening we would slightly prefer the...
This perspective (anti-enharmonic) is just based on the idea that a single pitch within the domain of a chord should not take two scale degree numerals but be determined as one or the other based on...
I appreciate the utility of a sound port, but not the aesthetics, so I've never bought a guitar with one. That being said, there was a post on this site some years back of an Elferink build that had...
My Cabaret has one, and I usually keep it closed with a plug I made because it gets too loud for practise.
I too would say it mostly boosts what I hear of the mid/low frequencies but like with...
