I can't find a link to Rich's live feed! Somebody help me?
I have a question about Rich's guitar strings. They sound great on my 17-in jazz box, but do you put them on a 335 as well?
What are you listening to?
I've been enjoying Oscar Peterson, particularly enjoy his comping and chord melody. I hear the voicings from the first lesson in Rich's fingers style course in it.. granted he has 10 fingers to make chords with (and I swear a couple toes sometimes)
Just watching the first lesson in the Finger style arrangement course without a guitar even in hand, has me excited about the coming days! I can see how quickly this will change the game for me! Great instruction!
ARCHIVE.ORG has been building a collection of old 78 recordings. You can find old recordings of Charlie Christina, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, Mike Jackson, Duke, Dizzy, and the list goes on. I have this filtered by jazz but you may want to explore other options. Some of these are kinda fun to listen to. Give it a try

what amp do you all like for jazz? Seems like the Henriksen Bud is the best in breed, not quite ready to shell out > 1k at this point though. My tube amp sounds great, but too heavy to haul around. Maybe one of the Quilter power blocks and a small cab?
Sweet 16 I bought from Rich is scheduled to arrive today... I feel like Darren McGavin (sp?) in Christmas Story doing a jig and singing "Tonight, tonight, hot-damn it's coming tonight"
Anyone use strap locks on their archtop? If so, what kind?
