Haha go play in a big band then. You'll be begging for ambiguity after two hours of reading charts where the arranger has put the horn arrangement in the chord symbols (pro tip - ignore that stuff.)...
Thanks Joe. Unfortunately, i need to get a pickguard put on it to play it. Otherwise, it puts my pick at a weird angle and I have a problem with accuracy on the bottom strings. But just as important...
I can't play the piano, I don't have the brain for it, I can't coordinate the two hands at all. But my mother was, or used to be, a concert pianist before the war. And, of course, there are all...
That was wonderful. Thank you
In jazz, all chord symbols are ambiguous. That's one of the things I love about playing jazz. In jazz, chord symbols are more of a guideline for what you could play, but you can ignore it and...
Ref my post #14. I shall be slacking 2 screws on my tailpiece and see if the strings pull the tailpiece into line. I'll probably loosen the strings a bit first.
just found this from an earlier forum post - thought id repost it here in case it helps someone else too. it seems the issue is not unheard of with Eastman guitars. (no-one is a bigger Eastman fan...

Well, a chord is either specified or labelled 'alt'. I don't think alt is ambiguous, you can put what you want in.
I'm working on this for my channel - thought I may as well pop it up for proofreading etc. That said, @Tal I think you mentioned it as a typo in an earlier chart and I usually play G-Bb-Db-Eb but...
it has been like this always - though the bridge used to 'stick' in roughly the right place better than it does now (now it just slips back a bit to the bass side when I try to push it over towards...
thanks a lot everyone - really helping me here - this is a guitar worth sorting out - it has put all my American made archtops on the substitutes bench... another pic jazz note - thanks again:...
I believe that was to distinguish Gibson’s ES (electric spanish) line from their EH (electric hawaiian) line, which was also a popular range back in those days. I once got a book on the history of...
It might sound foolish but my videos on archtops often get thousands of views. My videos on the workshop get hundreds. I see the archtop videos as my best form of marketing. When people...
Mosaic Select's great remastering of Johnny Smith...
