The Django Reinhardt tune "Nuages" performed by Julian Bream should help to find the silver lining. https://youtu.be/dqSLwzVSJAg?si=Sf8zc24g5OBDKiR9
Hi 339. After almost 4 years my comment: I always desired to posess a 503 and since 10 days I finally own one, the classic version. Like on my previous guitars I had it strung with Tomastik Infeld...
Here's a nice ditty from Joe Pass and Herb Ellis. Carol Kaye published a book(let) of 5-6 of duets by Herb and Joe. This is the best known one. (Carol did not do the transcription featured in this...
Thank you sir, that's very encouraging. I actually learned Charlie Parker's solo from the Omnibook a few years ago and was struck at his use of arpeggios and that the solo "laid" better on the guitar...
Man, there ain't one thing wrong with that!! Joyous!!! I only wish my day were going as well LOL
Some great ideas and exercises in videos on MyMusicMasterclass from Bruce Forman (bebop guitar), Pasquale Grasso's series and Mike Moreno (sound, technique and articulation). Bruce Forman -...
That's very good! That's not middling at all. You have good sound production, good time feel, and an instinct for the harmony. In addition to trying to build the lines naturally like you did there,...

Man not the classical performers I've known. I'd have been drawn and quartered by my classical teacher if I'd done it that way. When you ignore mistakes and just go through the whole thing that way,...
I found I just had to memorize it mentally to be able to not get hung up on playing the different sections. Then I'd combine that with my fingerings that I'd worked out.
Yeah ... another one that really helps is to practice overlapping phrases. Like instead of 1-4, 5-8, etc. You work on 1-6, 5-10, etc. So you're kind of working on making the joints between phrases...
You make a good point. I too have wondered where all of the guitars go, since it's not like they wear out easily. As to being a collectable, the way I see it is that playing and collecting are...
o.k., working on getting my recorder functional - just got the right smart media card for it. "Everybody knows this stuff, but it's the doing of it that hangs up a lot of people, including me." ...
