I did not put the title... because whenever I played the tune for someone in this kind of arrangement no-one could identify it. They used to say: I think I heard it but cannot figure out))
I remember he did an interview with Mike Moreno and he said the L5 didn't have a great setup, but my impression was both had merits.
Anyway, didn't mean to derail the thread or take a side. I...
You guys are mad at tonewood. All the materials in an electric guitar that affect how it resonates end up affecting the amp'd sound. This especially includes the chief materials that it's made of,...
It’s almost like they are complex hand crafted instruments with natural inconsistency and some are just better than others.

I bought one of Vinny's Campellones (V1K Custom) and it has a built in humbucker. It is first and foremost an acoustic guitar and is every bit as loud as your average flattop acoustic. I doubt the...
Op: you also want to work on outlining the changes. Jazz blues isn't only blues vocab on the 1 of the key. Although there is a lot of that and it's tough to go overboard with accumulating those...
I'm a little different.
I think it's good to learn tunes, but I think it's much more important (for me) to write songs.
