Here is a great lesson and useful line specially addressing this:

Targeting thirds in dominant 7ths

I could see that... there are some more unique bluegrassers out there, but you'd have to look for them. However- the exact same thing could be said about jazz by the casual listener "all sounds...

The Hours of Listening

There's that (and at least they've been listening to proper players ;) ), but technical skill required without something to back it up isn't necessarily more than a circus act (I had a more subtle...

I'd love a Mule Mavis, but I don't play that style enough to justify the cost.

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

The AF95 is an excellent guitar and a true bargain. My friend and bandmate (the one whose Li’l Dawg Choco Prince I posted about a few days ago) has one that he loves for jump blues. It’s made very...

More affordable alternatives to the Gibson L-5 and ES-175?

Well, in that case I thought about EHX Magnum 44 poweramp and that TC Electronic Fender in a box type of stuff preamp. That should work direct into a mini cab.

Can you show me your 1x8" guitar amp?

It's her problem, not yours. You can play in Bb, as written, because the guitar is a concert instrument. She has to play it in C because she's playing a Bb instrument. That means whatever she...
