Juan, I get hooted down all the time! I say "Let them hoot!" Cheers Will

Dear all. Hi this is my first post to this excellent list (I usually frequent Classical guitar lists and recognize some regulars here - Bob-H and Ron-B at the least). I'm a big fan of George Benson (I

Last year I saw a s/h Kimbara classical and bought it for just ?70 because I thought it had a great tone. My research showed that Kimbara actually never made anything but re-badged other makes and

Bobby, What I object to is the way over the top responses to the current paradigm. Mr. Simmons does not come across as a sympathetic figure in any way shape or form. I don't have the quotes in front

Hi Angelo, I saw this coming, and I'm going to try to respond, but you and I are not going to see eye to eye on this ever, so read at your own discretion. Well, somebody must like their music because

I missed the original post somehow, but here's a quick recommendation to get started learning who the greats are. Pick up "Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar", a 4 cd box set. Tip of the

Sure, lots of us know who the great players are and have been. In many ways I would like to have all that discovery in front of me that you have. ;-) You have countless hours of musical pleasure to

Score one for Marc.

Well, not exactly--or at least that's not the point I was making. The stock Gibson P-90s certainly weren't junk. They sounded pretty good. But the Lollars are head and shoulders better (and not simply

Will, I'm happy to see that there are people who still say, "whilst". I always liked that word, but you'll not hear it here... pity. :-)

Marc, I'm getting the feeling that you're asking the wrong question... I think it should be, "Does anybody care???" :-)

Well, the cheapest & most effective upgrade is more practice. But after that, a decent set of strings and properly done set up can help a lot. I just don't remember him saying what strings he had on

It's definitely the point. He is only interested in publicity for himself. Isn't this the guy who had a reality show? He's a publicity hound and that's why he's getting involved. He smells a buck.
