  1. You are looking at a specific guitar. It sounds as if you have some information. What else are you looking for?
  2. Thanks for the help/advice/info. Never mind about the tune. I think I get the picture with the West Side Story example. In which case its quite different from the point I was making anyway, which was about improvisation.
  3. Apparently Lee Anderton (the Captain) is now changing his name to El Anderton. The whole shop applauded and no one took the pizz.
  4. Wiki 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard with two PAF humbucking pickups. This guitar (which was stolen in 1966; its whereabouts remain unknown) is also called the "Blues Breaker" or "Beano" Les Paul and a replica of which was reissued by Gibson in 2012.
  5. ok so no link then... Can you at least tell me where the guitar part is? Or do I have to sift through the whole 2.15 hrs of it?
  6. I'm waiting for the green yo-yo to come back on stock 😶
  7. You are in the majority Bill. Dead shows were my best musical experiences ever though.
  8. Well I might try playing it if I could find it. Tried for 5 minutes. Got a link?
  9. There's also the massive range of neckties designed by Garcia. That was, and remains, pretty weird.
  10. A few there I never heard of. K, RR, Z, Gee-tar and O-face 😎 IMO True when referring to solidbody. Not true when referring to acoustic tone. As for 'tone is in the fingers'. I still think that's a popular meme, that sounds attractive but doesn't mean anything.
  11. What generally isn't taken into account is the genre. Jazz, especially mainstream, is complex and demanding. Changes are coming thick & fast. Rock blues, for the most part, is modal. If it was a card game, it would be like comparing Bridge to Snap. Thanks for sharing!
  12. Yes. Gibson always do that. Fender use screws. Gibson prefers glue.
  13. Cant better Sparky's advice. Good job! I was hoping for a single coil sound on my 1st guitar with coil split. I have several now. None of them sound much like a single coil.
  14. Jim, thank you for the best feedback I ever got in 50 years! Glad it reached you man.
  15. Nice to see Gibson playing around with some different builds.
  16. This is the better of my nylon pieces from 2017.
  17. See! I told you if we resurrected a 2 year old thread we'd catch the Sgt again.
  18. When I began learning fingerstyle I used a thumbpick from day one. But most of my acoustic work these days is on nylon strung guitars so I seldom use them anymore.
