    Don't know where there was a good view of the fretboard on the Billy Reid- Gibson video, but this YT video gives a good look at her guitar, and a good listen to a well-played 40 Series Martin:

    Yea, ,  ,  looks more like 62 - and who ever saw a D-41 or an M dread for that matter torn like a stone went through it, , , yikes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Pretty kool act, , , but the guitars sound like rubber-bands. .

    Brilliant.

    I'd like a Hummingbird bumper sticker.

    Yes, it IS very advanced - a sign of high originality.  😮 

    Sure hope Hartford Snider gets his percentage, , , and he accepts that modification. EEEh, , I don't - to trade the butterfly for another stylized mini-hummer - no way !

     

     

     Btw, is a 1972 Bird mentioned while a split-parallelogram fret board is shown - and does that represent the level of insight'n'touch. .

    I like the VOS series and owned a few of the original VOS and I'm wondering what exactly does Gibson do to give the VOS paint finish.

                                                                                                            Isn't the trick that they don't buff it all the way. .

     But each one has had  moments where I heard stuff I never knew was there.

    Yes, agree, , , and that's probably the main kick about these releases. Of course the overall picture is a bit of a ride as well. 

    I like Flying a lot - especially the funky tremo-start. That said, I felt it fell apart in the CD-stereo-mix. In fact like a severe part of the entire early digi-MMT, which I heard in cans in a studio-shack back in the early winter of 1992. 
     

                                                                                                                                                                                                   I sense you're a serious fan, Pepper. .

    I'd say add the "C" to that genre of music and leave it alone.

    Tough, , , ,  and wider known it would probably fuel the lust for entering the genre.
     

    Apart from that I actually support the thought of placing it in a category of its own.                                                                                                                                                                                   But it has to be done in a friendly and respectful way.

     I managed bits from “In the Hall of the Mountain King” to “Day Dream Believer.”  Granted it was just me, but if I could have gotten anyone else interested I could have set up another pop bottle set.  

    Talent will spring when talent springs. .
    I for 1 would have liked to hear such concert. Does old footage exist. .

    Does music have to be made with traditional instruments in a structured from?

    You thereby crystalize my challenge. Another good Q.

    A new Amazon commercial has the music of "In My Life" playing in the background. It has a few older ladies going down a snow covered hill on sleds.

    Certainly depending on my mood. .

    When bein' in the avantgarde corner, I can hear music from the shunting trains. . 

    But I challenge you as Beatle-fan. Let's go in the cans and listen to Walrus.                                                                                                                                                        Then when the outro starts and begin to fade raise a finger when it's no longer music.                                                                                                    On 7 other seats with similar headphones we invite F. Zappa, G. Martin, P. Glass, L. Anderson, L. Reed, N. Young and R. Zimmerman.

    Is that a Tune-O-Matic bridge (saddle) on Gram's Dove?

    Eeehh, yes, Burst.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The next Q is whether it has nylon or metal-blades. .

    When I studied music in school, I was taught that to make music you need all three of these elements: Melody, Harmony and Rhythm.

    Well, , , don't listen too tight to the schools'n'teachers. They are often behind and late out.

    That said I tend to agree - rap etc. is only half-music, , , and shows (as Keith Richards have stated recently) how many people are actually tone-deaf and in order to ride the vibe go for the fashion-trend rather than a conventional musical emotional/intellectual/spiritual exchange. 

                                  But at this point we need to define melody, harmony, rhythm.

    Is the bird's song fx melody ?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Is disharmony basically to be counted as (distorted/disturbed ) harmony ?  Are the rail-shunting trains A or B ?                                                            Are we aware of steadfast rhythm contra rhythm, mechanical pulse contra organic pulse ?  

     

    Thanx for the wind-synth guidance. Will look further into this.

    Who you're invisible to younger women!

    Not really my experience - a number of young girls still act like they wanna, not go home with me, but catch my attention.                                                                                         As if they instinctively would like to be noticed and appreciated by an old musketeer. .

    I never liked the idea of smashing your instruments either. I wonder how many Pete Townshend smashed?

    So many it came close to smashing his reputation in the looong run. . 

                                                                                           Apart from that, listen to his spare-time-album with Small Faces bass-player Ronnie Lane. Excellent stuff - in fact smaching. .

    Hillman smashed his Epiphone Frontier - the Gibson Dive with J-160e appointments was given to Ric Grech (who produced G.P.). Last I heard Keith Richards bought it.

    Thanx for the insight. No matter what it's bad style to smash a guitar, , , , or any other instrument for that matter. .

  16. Okay, we had B. Hope under the wig above. Here he goes again - this time in hotter company.

    I meant the, “Now and Then” version…

    BTW, I have the new “Revolver” & they did a good job on that Re-Mix..

    Ok, I see -😸 and agree.

    The camp knows what it does. And actually represents some level of moral or high standard which seems to slip in so many other fields of modern reality. In that sense the Fab-center (cash-machine or not) still plays an important role in contemporary life'n'culture.

    How about Rubber Soul & Revolver versions.. It’s all too much… Pun intended..

    Revolver's already out - Rubber Soul is in the mold. Well, I like the old mixes refreshed/mastered. New mixes are risky territory - and the Fab-camp knows it. Because of that they most of the time appear to be acceptable. Some of them reveal new details on the tracks, , , slightly different  possibilities. And sure, the latter is dangerous and must be restricted/prohibited in the future. .

    I live and love music. It doesn't have to have a saxophone in it for me to like it.

    I like symphonies, blues, jazz, Latin American, Caribbean, Klezmer, country, rock, punk, disco and quite a few other genres.

    BTW, sax is my primary instrument, but I started on drums, and also play flute, wind synthesizer, guitar, bass, keyboards, and vocals.

    In my current duo, http://www.s-cats.com I do all our backing tracks. Usually from scratch. I tried buying some but spent so much time tweaking them, it's easier for me to just play the parts into a DAW. That way I understand everything about them, the chords used, any substitution chords, and so on.

    In the bands that I've been in, since every composer doesn't have the good sense to include a sax part, I would double on bass or rhythm guitar so we could cover "3 guitar" songs. In one band the drummer was a lead singer, so I would sit at his kit for a few songs so he could get out front and sing.

    I also write aftermarket styles for the auto-accompaniment app, Band-in-a-Box, at https://www.nortonmusic.com and I write all the parts to those styles.

    I've been a pro musician since I graduated school, with an exception of taking a job to see what "normal" was like. It didn't last all that long. I've opened for headliners in concert, played dive bars and almost everything in between.

    So how do the Beatles relate to me, the sax player?  As a music making ensemble.  

     

    Notes ♫

    Sounds great - hope you'll be able to keep your musical soul'n'spirit intact in the whirlwind of tonal activities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Btw. what is a wind synthesizer ? 

    And apart from that my Q was about your thoughts as sax-player on The Beatles' use of saxophone.
