Jim R. Yes, I'm referring to exercise 24. That's why I am confused by how we are to approach that exercise.

Jim R. That one is called the harmonic sequence

In the first exercise, repetitive, are we supposed to play the same notes over each chord., as in example 1? The only notes in common are G, C, and D.

Hi Rich, I'm working on the tune "A Smooth One." It's primarily G7, C7, F. The G7 throws me off. I know I can play F and C7. I'm sure I can play Dm. But a friend of mine to me this song is Fm. I know the major issue is that G7 has a B in it. What are your thoughts on playing thru this sequence?

Thanks William. I purchased a tune o magic from Faber. I may have to make a new base if the tune o magic is too tall. I hope to be able to switch back and forth to hear the sound difference.

Jim Rumora Funny, I think I'll hang around longer with the 175. It can be versatile from a Wes kind of tone to a Kenny Burrell kind of tone with pickup mix and amp settings. I'm going to try a Tune O Matic to see what that will sound like. As you can tell, I am addicted to sound.

Does anyone know the sound difference between a wooden bridge and a tune-amatic on a Gibson ES 175? I am interested in getting an L4 sound out of my 175. I'm tempted to add a little bridge pickup into the mix.

James Champlin I use Xvive also. They're inexpensive and work great. The other benefit of wireless is that it doesn't matter how far away the amp is in the open jam room.

I use wireless. I can keep it all set up when I put the guitar away. Easy to move between different guitars and different amps. Plus, I think it gives  little extra boost.
