Re: Jazz chords

Nice chords bro...i think i might record some of my jazz stuff soon after hearing that

Re: Jazz chords

thanks man

my hand kills to f*** though some of the stretches on that are huge - a 5 fret with a bar and a weird chord shape isnt really that easy

i got a bit of a blister on my thumb too from practising it (no pick used)

i might use it for an old style song if i could find a singer with a raspy enough voice lol - not happening at age 16... maybe i should look through some pubs lol

Re: Jazz chords

Nice chords...kinda weird changes...but liked it nevertheless.
Good sound.

Re: Jazz chords

lol the strings sound like rubber bands on it. theyr too thin for that tuning and need changing anyway

Re: Jazz chords

Going 0.20's now??

Re: Jazz chords

lol

10s are perfect for standard but i wrote this in DGDF#AD so it feels and sounds a bit loose to me

Re: Jazz chords

Yeah a 11-52 set would probally work nicely there.

Re: Jazz chords

i cant stand those in stadard though - too thick :/

i got some other stuff in this tuning too, as well as some 9/4 piece in open G with a D on the bass, so the guitar feels "wrong" for those songs but perfect for standard.

hey if i ever get rich i'll get another one built purely for those tunings

Re: Jazz chords

Heh yeah, I used to play alot with capo, all kinds of weird tunings....and chordfrettings....uhu!!
Mostly I could get away with it using 10's, sometime wapping the bottom E to a 48 or 50.

Re: Jazz chords

hmmm i might try a set of 10 - 52's then.

thing is my bloody trem is floating its a weird one. no route for it at all its just stuck on top of the body. and i got it set perfect atm, the thicker bass strings would pull the damn thing up...

i'm thinking of buying a string through bridge though, so when i get that i'll put a set on and see how it feels

Re: Jazz chords

Hmm how about blocking the backward movement, I do that with all my Floyds.
That should help you stabilise the guitar, since you can the increase the springtension, without having the whole damn thing going backwards.
