[jazzguitar] Re: What are good amps?

Hi Rob,

I play through a polytone amp with reverb. It has a selector switch for tone in addition to the normal the 3 band eq. Most important .... its LIGHT and SMALL for those of us that are getting older. The other plus is that it also sounds good. Happy hunting. Dave I like playing -----Original Message-----

[jazzguitar] What are good amps?
Rob Clark
Hi,
I recently purchased a used archtop (Heritage Super Eagle with a single floating pickup), and was wondering what would be the best bets for an amplifier. The guitar is very resonant and is quite loud acoustically. I'm relatively new to jazz, previously having been stuck in the blues. Thanks, Rob |

[jazzguitar] Sightreading
Hey Sam
I never stuck to any one method or found any method to be better than
others...just read anything you get your hands on...and don't spend too
much time trying to perfect it...move on when you see your mistake. Try
to play it all in one area or with minimal moves. Try to look
ahead...most of all....keep at it.
Take care
Dave

[jazzguitar] Sight Reading!!!!
I need some help sight reading. I'd say I'm a good sight reader, which
to other musicians (non guitarists)= sucky reader. I'm very expirienced in reading music and I just need to refine my reading to the point where I can sight read anything at anywhere on the neck. I would like to know some books you guys suggest and other methods. I've been reading out of a book of jazz etudes called "Jazz Conception" by Jim Snidero. Also, I read the tunes in Abersold books in the other keys. The book I'm thinking about is Melodic Rhythms for Guitar by William Leavitt. I've worked through his 3 vols of methods and I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not this book is too limited or below my playing ability from what I've told you. Thanks for any help and suggestions! -Sam |
[jazzguitar] Re: Signature models
Goosenberg, Eric
Pat Metheny plays the Ibanez Pat Metheny model as his basic electric guitar

live and in recordings, and has done so for the last couple of years. His old ES-175 was beaten to shreds and has basically been retired, according to his own comments. My recollection from reading about it is that he had a significant part in the construction of both Ibanez Pat Metheny models. Also, the one time that I saw Joe Pass live, I'm pretty sure that he played the Epiphone. Larry Coryell had both an archtop and a flattop acoustic by Cort when I saw him in a small club about a year ago, but I'm not sure how closely they compare to Cort's model(s) that carry his name.

[jazzguitar] Signature models
Dick Onstenk
Hi there,
What's the point of signature models if the endorsing artists do not play them? I am convinced the Coryell Cort and Epiphone Joe Pass are not up to the standards of these fine artists. I don't like either model and I think you can do a lot better investing in a used archtop. Ibanez seems to be doing a bit better. Both George Benson and Joe Pass actually use(d) their signature guitars. I am not sure about the Pat Metheny though. Especially the lower end PM did not impress me and again I doubt Pat would ever play one. And there are countless other examples. Some time ago I even saw a Samick Charlie Christian which had nothing to do with the original guitar Charlie played. Well, I guess the whole signature model thing for low-end guitars is just a marketing trick and is often used arbitrarily. Dick |
[jazzguitar] Re: epiphone sheraton vs. ??
i have the epiphone emperor regent and am quite satisfied with it. at the
time i bought it, i did some comprisons to new gibsons and came away more impressed with epiphone. i've known a few folks back in florida with the sheraton and both were satisfied and one used it as his primary guitar. the pickup on the emperor could use some slight improvement but it was probably copied from the 1940's - 50's early humbucker and is attatched to the neck not the body. my advice, is always, don't worry about price or brand name but what suits you. plug it in and try it. bring your amp to the store if you need to. |

How do these typo's get by me??? [Answer: Spell check brings up
"DePartment" when it sees "McPartland" and I hit the change key instead of ignore key.] Yes, Marion McPartland. But, now that you question me, I'm sure it was on the Billy Taylor Jazz from the Kennedy Center show when he was a guest there. Larry was using a Gibson Super 400 and Billy asked him about the guitar he was using. Larry explained wwhy us used the 400. Thanks for the question, Rick. Now to spell check and re-read this note!

[jazzguitar] Re: Cort Larry Coryell Archtop
Lan Mosher
My humble opinion of the Cort Larry Copryell guitar
I have played two of them in stores and I would not have paid $400 for either. they sounded tinny, and left a lot to be desired in neck shape, fret dressing, finish etc. Junk!! In that price range, I think the Epiphone's are better, the Washburns, and the Ibanez's are better instrument. Having nothing nice to say, I considered saying nothing. But when someone who is thinking of getting into a full bodied archtop asks for advice or opinions, I thinks those of us who have played or owned lots from Epi Joe Pass models to D'Angelicos, D'Aquistos, Triggs, Andersons, Gibsons, Heritages, etc. should speak up for what ever it is worth. Incidently, Larry is a friend and a great guitarist. Every time I've seen him perform, he's used a Super 400 or an L-5 Cess. List to what he said about guitars on his Marion DePartment Piano Jazz visit. Lan |

[jazzguitar] Jazz Guitar Chat Room
Brent Stuntzner
Hi everyone!
Thanks to a query from Don Jansen, there is now a Jazz Guitar Chat available at www.stuntzner.brent.org. I've only notified my e-mail community "families" in order to prevent unwelcome visitors, so have at it! For the perpetually curious, there have been other additions and/or changes at my site including close to 30 photographs in the Photo Album(Antarctica, woodworking, BDS Construction), a Guestbook, Suggested Reading and Listening, and Quotations borrowed from positive-feedback e-mail. I'm still working on Wes' "Moanin" solo, though, so nothing new there. :-( Just got a Kenny album in the mail which has a great version of "A Night in Tunisia"....I can't wait! --brent Brent D.

[jazzguitar] Cort Larry Coryell Archtop
Does anyone own or have any experience of the Cort Larry Coryell
archtop guitar model LCS-1? The guitar seems to have a good spec (Seymour Duncan designed pickups, spruce top etc.) and it sounds good on Coryell's CD Monk, Trane, Miles and Me. It does not seem to be availible in the UK but I have seen it advertised for $699 in the US which is about half list price. Any comments about sound, playability, quality of construction etc would be useful. |
