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!
Well, the switch wasn't the problem. I think blaming the pickup may be a red herring. If the pickup was dead, it would not have any output no matter what the setting on the volume knob is. The issue...
All guitar have cracks in them right down middle of the guitar. So just take a look at your basic L5 or D'angelico or ect. They all are 2 pieces tops glued together and therefore a planned crack in...

I actually think that’s more important than whether or not I like his playing in...
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to refute anything that M. has said. I just have a few thoughts I'd like to share.
I don't think anyone who's worked in any of 'the arts' for more than a decade or 2...

Hi, C,
I am fully...
That is fine .. Dislike Scofield, Metheny, McLaughlin, Lage, Rosenwinkel and Frisell
Then spice that up with lamenting that there are no unique voices these days and that all modern players are...
