I use the Dunlop 206's also. My history has been that I've studied with different teachers and always adopted their picking techniques and pick. In retrospect, this didn't work so well. I know how to

Hi Jim, Well, then plug in the word "sarcastic" in its place. I don't know who finds what funny or not, but I know that anyone who took the phrase literally could only have done so intentionally.

I'm looking for the sheet music to "Promenade Sentimentale" from the movie, Diva My search results have led me an "out of print" status .... Anyone have any clues for this piece of music. There is

I couldn't agree enough about the choice of picks and strings. I use heavy Dunlop JAZZ II's and have for years. The size is pretty close to ideal for me although I wish they were slightly bigger and I

For example, C E7 A7 D7 G7 C. It's like gravity pulling back to the starting point. ... it's called "Back Cycling" ... it can be done with any tune by going backwards starting from the target chord

Long before I ever heard of "secondary dominants", I was given the following explanation by my first teacher, Sid Margolies. He wrote out what he called the Cycle of Fifths. It looks like a clock. C

No one has suggesting "taxing the kids". It's the sites like YouTube who should pay for what it is that they decide to offer (for free, subscription, or otherwise - that's their problem). A new model

Hi Ron. Excellent stuff many thanks! Cheers, Mark [Excess text deleted by the moderators -- please edit your replies as per the list etiquette!]

I cam across the website for Evans amps http://www.evansamps.com/ The demos are really interesting - exploring the qualities of straight rich tone without overdrive. Worth a visit, Will

Hi Scott. Many thanks for your reply! Aaagh I had a GB10NT back in the 80's (bought new in 1983). I miss it so much and will probably get another at some point. I'll never forget the day i received

I used to make picks out of whatever plastic I could find, but more recently I have been modifying picks. I spent years using fender mediums, which I liked for flatpicking, but when I got into jazz,

Picks DO make a big difference in sound. I've never made them myself, except for an attempt at one from Lignum Vitae. A very dense wood that is also oily. It sounded good, but I whittled it down too

I second this. Get your favorite sound and play with a fender medium type pick then something about three times thicker like the Dunlop stubby 3mm or the equivalent in another material. The difference

Right on John. I have zero sympathy for biddniss as it's come to be done in this country. And I bet it's not that different in most other places. As you rightly point out this is a transition period.

Welcome aboard. I don't post much on the CG list anymore, I put mine in the case a few years ago to let my thumb recover from my bad technique. But still love the sound of them. IMHO someone who

Roger, OK, how much (and why) does choice of pick matter? I'm not arguing that it doesn't, I just want to know how many people think the pick makes a significant difference in tone. I made some picks

There are metronome apps for the iphone and Android phones...

Hi Elliot, Choice of pick matters. A lot. I used to "make" my own picks by buying extra-heavy Fender standard picks, and reshaping them to the smaller "jazz pick" shape so I could get the shape I

Petri, What i try to remember is the 2nd chord of a tune. It will often provide a pathway through the song. Jim
