What ear plugs for hearing protection in loud...

The beginning of that interview freaked me out, because he mentioned that the bass player of the LI band that DD was in had just quit and went back to college. He turned out to be a guy my sister was...

It gets tiresome having to contradict false statements such as this. If you want to hear how John McLaughlin swings, listen to his playing with The Free Spirits. I am particularly keen on this - ...

Ah, you made an old chestnut bloom! (as in the song lyrics) :cool:

Afternoon in Paris

This might be one area where we could learn from certain non-jazz players from history. Transcribing early electric blues, it's almost like more depends on the delivery of each note than the actual...

I bought a used Tascam DR-40 Recorder, thought I'd revive this thread by posting my first recording from it here (with a little practice amp). I'm playing this to a Beat-Buddy loop, which means I...

That's ok, everyone makes errors...That's not what I'm taking "issue" with. The thing is it felt like you "doubled-down" on your opinions, and (with due respect) I think that you don't actually know...

Tommy Emmanuel & Matteo Mancuso: Sunny
