Rich Severson In these blues shuffle lessons I would like clarification on the notation. Take the first 4 measures after the pickups in Blues Shuffle Solo 1 as the example. The notation uses "B" to denote bends, "p" for pull-offs, and "h" for hammer-ons BUT what does "L" denote?

Also, there are numbers in vertical ovals over certain notes, what do those denote? For example, measure 2 has the numbers 2 and 9 encircled by a vertical ovals over a single note of "f" bring bent up from the "e" note just below it. The same notation is used in the tab. What does this mean?

We are talking about pedals on the livestream this week and I am curious about this one!

This was a post I saw on FB: "Find the smallest rig possible, just one simple amp pedal to plug into a PA or small cab or whatever. Goal: to get a clean, warm, clear, jazz gone we all love (anything from classic Johnny Smith to Joe Pass “Intercontinental” or “Joy Spring” to 1980s Jimmy Raney Steeplechase: those are my standard tones for great electric jazz guitar tone: YMMV).

Someone posted about the Milkman the Amp (100W) vs Benson the Amp (100W). Anybody try these? What’s the best amp pedal?"

Hey All, I just wanted to do a shout out to Joe Carpenter for his F-Hole plugs.  If you have a big arch top and fight feedback this may be a good solution for you.  I play with a big band (18 piece) and compete with a horn section and a loud bassist. These make all the difference in the world when I'm playing.  I have them in my Heritage Eagle, Gib L-4 and Gib 330.  They work great.  Joe is out of Phoenix Az and can be found on Reverb.
