Hi all, I thought I'd offer my perspective to the discussion, as well as correct some misunderstandings that I have noticed. Those misunderstandings have grown...
... Dave, Have you ever played pedal steel guitar? Try 12 strings with 7 pedals and 5 knee levers (a typical setup) and let us know which is more complicated!...
Hey guys, I'm uploading the transcription of the Adam Rogers solo off the clip that was put up here a week ago or so. I also included a separate section where...

Which Abercrombie CD did you buy? His first ECM album is still one of my favorites: "Timeless" - with Jan Hammer, et. al. And I've liked all of the "Gateway"...
... It's a (ahem...) "bootleg" recording from Koln, Germany, 12/19/92. ... Yep, that's one that I am considering. Thanks. ... Thanks again... And, yes, I was...
This makes a lot of sense to me. I've always found it difficult to memorize tunes. I believe that that some guys are just a lot better at "knowing" what the...
You might like the Rarum compilation. ECM allows the artist to compile what they feel are their best performances/tunes/... There's a John Abercrombrie, Ralph...
Some of my favorites are the three Abercrombie Quartet albums with Richie Beirach on piano; also the Bob Mintzer album "Hymn" which is Mintzer with the...

"I have been to many, many, many gigs. Standards gigs too, and to this day I have never, ever, ever seen a real book. Jam sessions, yes. Workshops, yes. ...
... Looks great. Thanx for sharing! By the way, I just remembered a polyrhythm exercise I got from a Steve Coleman workshop I went to a while ago. I think I...
... For me, that is the most irrelevant reason. Who cares what you look like when you're playing? All the best gigs I have seen in the last 3 months were guys...
I would suggest that you begin with a tune that you want to improvise on. Step one would be to improvise the fingering for the melody while hearing the way...
... Ah and here comes the line that many 'musicians' forget about. If you actually want to be a successful 'artist' you have to realize that you are a ...

During the 80's John had a piano quartet which I always considered the more adventerous counterpart to the Pat Metheny Group of that time. It was with Peter...
Dave, Thanks for the suggestions. One other wrote "do you play with anyone?" My biggest problem is that there aren't many people to play with in the country...
Jazz, I agree with Tom. This is a jazz guitar list serve and most people are here to chat and write about that. There other list serves for other styles and...

Hello Chris, I've noticed that the "heavies" (0.012 or more) have a much fuller sound when used in conjunction with a clean amp setting. I think those that use...
On 6/1/04 2:52 AM, "jazz_guitar@yahoogroups.com" ... I have to agree with Rick, and what he says about whatever that "ear" thing is that makes one just...
On 6/1/04 2:52 AM, "jazz_guitar@yahoogroups.com" ... I don't think a sitar is nearly as capable as a guitar, and mainly, it's just different. Same with a...

Pickups have a lot to do with the "fatness" of the sound too though. Certain types of pickups can make lighter gauge strings sound thicker. Many of the top...
... Eer have you yourself played pedal steel? It is a real bitch to play. I play lap style acoustic, dobro, etc. and to do what I did on guitar (especially ...
