LOL there's some truth there

Not really sounding very 'jazzy'. Is it in the playing technique?

I could hear it on my tele- it was just so subtle that it didn't matter. No EQ changes were required. Perhaps different guitars react differently to changed fret materials. The video I posted...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

Fender Deluxe Reverb or Princeton?

Thank you for your answers! I will buy a bridge made of wood. To be honest, I'm also thinking about changing the pickups. I owned a Les Paul Custom 30 years ago and really liked the sound. What do...

I couldn't open the link, but what you describe sounds a bit like an approximation of a Banjo-approach, which totally makes sense in a setting like that. I could open your link for mellotone, and...

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

Beautiful girls in bikinis, I'm all for that, but that hideous "mankini" thing is a definite no bueno. I prefer a lady who looks good in a bikini and can also stimulate my mind. I need a lady who...
