1. The Benevolent Dr. K (Kostakos): a tribute to my Dr. of nearly 20 years and one of my favorite people (Katherine is her 1st name).
2. Gettin' Ahead of Myself: A reference to my lifelong proclivity for jumping the gun. Always wanted to write to this title.
3. Egret Regret: I thought up the title and liked its sound, then wrote a dark instrumental commentary on man's slow elimination of wildlife and ecosystems. I hope at least some people regret it...
*Edit: Oops! The good doctor needs a dot on the 1st beat, 2nd ending of B---or else you may grow dotty trying to play it...
Does anyone else here object to Arnold's shift in bar 1 from Gm7 (3rd fret) to C7 (bar 1) with the C bass note?
To me, the awkwardness of playing that C bass note is not worth it, requires you to...
I am very sorry to hear that Mike asked to have the videos with him in them taken down. He brings something to music that no one else does. While I sometimes weary of the chorus effect, his playing...
The videos are posted by somebody @ or doing it for Birdland but no matter who's doing the posting, any form of comment moderation will take time and a careful chart. Just blocking or deleting...
How true. 'Prog' is an extension of a genre, sometimes extending to fusion, so to me not original like the refs above but possibly innovative in the way it dealt with its sources. Syd Barrett's Pink...
I’ve always found Sweden to have a great jazz scene. Lots of young people really into it and bands from all over scandi, end up in stockholm.
If you can find the time to get out to Sweden and put a...

some of the cheap mass produced guitars that are sold for a couple hundred pounds/bucks are amazingly good …. (with a bit of a setup !)

I've seen it on a lot of 2460's, I've owned a couple myself, but the OP was referring to old Japanese guitars in general not just Ibanez, there are many Aria's etc w/ bad binding for example.
+1 on the Guild X-150. I've had mine for about a month and a half. Kind of silly that you can get this level of guitar for less than a new Eastman or Peerless.
I think Ibanez (fuji-gen) went through a phase in construction where whatever they were doing, caused binding and finish issues. This seemed to mostly be on the artist series. Jimmy Blue Note will...
Epiphone. Broadway is 25.5, Joe Pass is 24.75
I like the broadway, no need to go with an elitist. The regular ones are good too, I think Epiphone is a step up from Ibanez, could have just been...
looks sweet but $3k for an epiphone elitist is a bit of a stretch I think. The original tailpiece on those epiphones made for a string length greater than some strings you could buy so changing over...
Ask sellers if the neck is straight, does the truss rod work, what the fret life is like. Are there any cracks to the body, has the top sunk etc.. Most sellers won't know but will say yes it's all...
