Anyone else use Genius Jamtracks?

Warm Up exercises

Almost – "emanate" I agree with others that it's a strange place for arthritis. Like ruger, I have arthritis pain in both thumbs, in the joints, but not between the joints and the nail. Also, if...

Thumb pain

About $7000 - seems like an attractive price. No affliation, just passing along the info. I'm guessing they would ship internationally. Begagnad Gibson L-5 CES fran 1979 hos Musikborsen i...

I still find my L5ces in Cognac (?) Burst to be stunning. Depicted here with two other very strong contenders, though, the Aria Pro II PE180 and the Epiphone Elitist Broadway. The latter really could...

What beats an L5?

Question about All of Me / Ella Fitzgerald version

Sorry, for me it's going to be either a 16"er which can still be played with normal comfort (for me), or an 18"er. A 17" is too much of the one and too little of the other... :cool:

That is a really nice guitar. I have a 1989 Fratello and it is absolutely fantastic. Keith

1988 Benedetto Fratello Honey Blonde

Loudness depends on two factors, input wattage and speaker sensitivity. I assume you mean Celestion TF0818, which has a sensitivity of 94 dB. Your stock speaker can hardly exceed this by a...

Jazzer EU, ultimately I think you have to free yourself from associating playing guitar with the bad experiences you've had with colleagues as a music student first and then pro musician (especially...

Rediscovering my lost passion for guitar

I was fortunate enough to own 3 L5’s. A blonde CES, a sunburst Wesmo, and a sunburst CES. All I can say is, their build quality was second to none, and their tone smokey as it gets. I should have...
