JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 5) - Mr PC

I saw on the Boss site that they have an "EX" version of the 50 Gen 3, where they mention a better speaker and a line out - not sure about the specs though. I was once told by a tech how good they...

Pleasantly surprised at the Katana 50 for a clean jazz tone

Last couple of times I saw Jack Wilkins he was playing a Comins GCS-1, which is a semihollow, akin to a 335. Yotam Silberstein plays one. Vinicius Gomes plays a 335 or similar.

Fender Telecaster vs Gibson ES-335

Hello from Chicago from big Mike

If you play an A7, the audience will hear A9, because of the B in the melody. Putting a Bb or a C at the top of the chord is likely to clash with the melody and may confuse a singer. For...

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

Ok, here is my version. Again I didn't have a great practise week but the bare bones are there. Lots of things that I want to do with it so with that in mind will we go onto tune #3 or will we take a...

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

So I recently picked up a barefaced upsetter 110. For the most part, it's a fantastic product, that does what they say it is supposed to do (way bigger sounding than its size, good dispersion, very...

Might be a good idea to reheat the solder joints of all the jacks and pots that are soldered into the board.

^ You're welcome. Ya ma. Haha jk, I'll remember that guideline.

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

The headphone jack can be used for recording, you can plug it directly into your recording device, so you'd want to hear what you're playing/recording through the amp. But the amp has two channels,...

Makes sense :) Thanks. From a chord perspective only (i.e. aside of considerations to do with melody, chord being a VI, etc.): it's interesting how the b9b13 seems to sound crunchier than the...

We were discussing the Yamaha G series amps recently in this thread - in fact I shared the same Paul Rivera video. I have a G-100 III 2x12. Anyone hip to Joshua Breakstone?

No, those are stripes: they are two-dimensional. Hoops are three-dimensional: they are circles. The metal strips on a barrel are hoops: they go around the barrel. The bars of colour on Metheny's...

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

I'm sure you know this, Bobby, but #11th cannot be equated with b5th, #11 implies that the chord voicing contains the natural 5th (lydian), and it can be a very pretty chord. For example:...

I know this is an old thread, however I have had 2 of these amps my first ever amp in fact! I bought a mark 2 about 3 years ago just out of sentimental reasons but don’t play it much these days. Was...
