Hi all, I read Alisdair's article on swing timing. I always thought that swing 8ths were between shuffle 8ths and straight 8ths. In the article it says that...

Hi YJJG, I recently purchased a 2004 Hofner "new president" model; it's the best archtop I've ever played. I own a 1966 Guild Artist Award, 1964 Gibson...

I would say that it is Benson's note choices you are reacting to, Ken. He tends to get carried away with the pentatonics at times... not very subtle. ... ...
