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 definitely shift this way, which I’m 99.9% certain it’s an artifact of all the classical I played.
Then again Holdsworth is not my wheelhouse … I’m out here transcribing Clifford Brown like a...
It took me one minute to find this on youtube

I mean no offense or criticism. I didn't say...

I’m all for portability and ease of set-up. Lately I’ve been obsessing over the concept of guitar straight to amp (no pedals) but that is another story. But often I think to myself are we making a...
Regarding the OP and the Gambale (not baritone) tuning, I guess you could just discard the bottom (E) string and move strings 5-2 (A-B) down one place, as already suggested. That's going to give you...
I have the same in the neck position of my '88 Am. Std. Tele. The original fender was microphonic. At the time (around '96) I got it for country. It's a great pickup. The original bridge pickup is...
Even better then a 58…..
If needed I will drape this (see below) in front of my amp and plug into the PA. Even in some smaller rooms I will do this but keep the channel on the PA low. Can make...
