one of the exercises I have my students do is learn this 15 fret pattern in all keys, then i have them learn it in all positions, and then I have them go through exercises where they play over chord...
I must be doing something right, those three albums are three heavy sources of inspiration for me.
Talent is not as important as being dedicated to regular playing, in the long term.
Hot pickups sound much better when the volume is rolled down, preferably way down. At least that's been my experience. But I have zero experience with either Jaguars or those pickups.
You can sometimes hear a slight difference between capacitors, but it's because they have slightly different values. No two capacitors of the same nominal value will have exactly the same...
It only has a couple of chords (the fancy part haha) and a break which is free (lol). It's been a while since I played along with that one (not a lot you can do here...I do prefer more harmonic...
yes. i do that specific movement a lot. it is also useful for the kicks under the melody, especially the Dbmaj C7#9 Abm7 part.

Interesting, though maybe trivial thing I just noticed, if you play with voicings a bit you can voice lead nearly an entire octave chromatic scale through the A section: E-9/Bb7#5 (F#) Eb-9 (F)...
Couple of reasons.... on my jazz box.... single notes just don't sustain that long. They fade and somewhat loose the feel, both harmonically and rhythmically of what I'm trying to play.
I've never compared them side to side but I was looking for a mellow Telecaster neck pickup a few years back, I settled on SD Alnico 2 pro. The alnico 2's had the reputation of having a softer treble...
