I am busy 24/7 chasing two new puppies with a scooper. Whenever I get a chance I am listening to your lessons and practicing movable minor and major pentatonic blues scales which I am hoping brings me closer to my goals of being a better jazz/blues player. Until then...
I hear ya Bruce. I bought my 335 back in 1973 for $800 including the case. I have not found an off shore guitar that i am comfortable with. I hear the Epi's built in the Peerless plant are the ones to get. The Epi 175 has 57 pups and a mahogany neck, nice. I had a gib 175 a few years back but sold it because my 335 had 57 pups - i didn't see the sense in having the 175 with the same pups. Since that time i have bought and sold an L5, again it had 57s but there was a big diffence in sound. I'd be willing to give it another try but as you say the price is prohibitive.
I'd like to hear what Duke has to say about this. I think he endorses the Epi line.
By the way if your reading this Duke, i submitted solo LN2 yesterday. Cheers
Duke. Better late than never. I had to listen very closely to pick this one up. I am taking it slow here. I am hoping to internalizing Bill Jennings solos. I want to get into Bill Jennings' BIg Boy when i get some free time. Love this genre of music.
Very cool playing, Steve! One of the things I admire in your playing is your ability to keep a phrase fluid; not just legato, but the tone and volume match over the course of the phrase. I just don't have the technique to make that happen yet, but I'm working on it! Anyway -- great playing, Steve, I always look forward to hearing your stuff.
Like so many other guitar player's I've been playing this song for years but not neccessarily right. With these lessons i am that much closer. I still need practice, particularily on the turnarounds.
Damn that is nice. If i weren't so stubburn i'd hang up my axe after hearing your improvisation Duke. But, it is where i want to be. And as the Texas Rangers say Never Ever Quit.
Hey Steve, That sounds great! Nice and smooth. Beautiful ES 175 also! Duke
A great song. Born under a Bad Sign - I was born on a Friday the 13th :),
Great to be back.
Steve
Sounds great Steve. You got it down! Duke
hope to be back with you soon.
Thanks Duke and Mike.
I;m all smiles
Love this song. I could not get a good balance between the track and my guitar. hence the tone of the guitar is not as nice as it really is.
Nice to be able to tackle a new tune.
Cheers

Speaking of archtops, i would like to try the Epi es 175 premium but they are hard to come by were i live. Have you tried it?
I have liked and enjoyed every archtop I have owned by Epiphone. havent tried the one you are speaking of though. duke
Thanks Bruce, we're all learning here!
Steve
Hey Duke
Forgot the lights. Thanks again for this lesson. There is a lot here to work with.
Looking forward to the next lesson but that by no means I have learned all there is to learn from this one.
Cheers
Steve
Thanks Duke. Keep those great tunes coming. I really appreciate them.

I second Marty's request for the chords.
Chet Atkins was asked once if he read music to which he replied, not enough to hurt me any.

Hey Bruce thats really great, very nice.
Thanks Duke, and yes, if i had played along with your track there wouldn't likely be a timing issue.
And i see you are favoring that Casino, sounds great as well.
Steve
Marty set the bar, so here's my take.
Steve
Sweet!
Sonny's voice is beautiful, makes me blush.
