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 prefer the plugged in sound of the archtop with the floating pickup to my flattop with a Fishman system. Unplugged I usually prefer the flattop (inexpensive Ibanez Blackout 7). And the flattop...
Actually, I agree.
I think part of being a musician is making a connection to a more ancient way of being. The original common meaning of terms like Genius and Demon tells a story.
