NGD: Don't know about it being my last guitar ever....

[Phantasmagoria]

Plugged into the Laney IRT studio/Vox 1x12 cab (SM57) for even more variety..

Neck pup w/ Alter Switch ON ( which makes it 8/10 ...two to go.)

Same pop-rock clip..

It's got more texture/edgier sounding (in part cuz the mic was close-up/bang in the middle)...but also cuz of the Alter Switch's "single coil" mojo.. :bigthumb:

I like its looks.

Back again by popular demand :bigthumb:
.....

....after playing that tune ^^ I realized that something all those Jazz greats and virtuoso's have in common is sh*tloads of patience. Got to admit mine was wearing thin as I approached the half-line..but a little tastefully restrained & subtle tapping & some equally subtle whammy trix (pseudo slide) saved the day and I was happily able to carry on and finish it after all :bigthumb:

More deeply emotional/tingly goodness w/ the middle position selected (N-B)...this time I was too bored halfway through to push on yet that's just what I did (Kudos to the masters/virtuosos's for their ability to persevere & overcome their own boredom. Perhaps they simultaneously flip thru fat books of theory...or think dirty thoughts as a distraction...who knows?).

Only my tasty tremolo-picked flamenco chops saved me at the end.. ::bowdown:

...and to Clint's dismay, yet another timeless masterpiece of Jazz was born :bigthumb:

Thats a really sweet looking guitar.

Thanks...pics are actually pretty washed out though . They look like water-colours of the real thing thanks to my crappy phone cam.

The good news is I finally ordered a decent 'budget' $200 Kodak camera off Amazon yesterday. it's crazy how much prices have shot up since my last decent camera (that I dropped and broke 15 yrs ago) still. I'm old/old school .. prefer the real thing to phone cam's. :bigthumb:

I'm wondering if I should maybe try something like this w/ the jazz tune...liven it up a bit:

I foresee it being a huge PIA but probably sort of challenging & way less tedious to get through :bigthumb:

 

[Phantasmagoria]

Let me crack open my obesely fat theory books and explore all the possibilities/options... :bigthumb:

Obviously an endeavor like this will months, if not years or decades of careful study, planning & execution ..still I'm no stranger to self-sacrifice for the greater good....

I might just do it... or I could say "fuck it" & move on, depending...let's see :bigthumb:

After returning from my morning run found myself overwhelmed w/ emotion & self-sacrifice..so i was able to finish sooner than expected :bigthumb:



"Wuv in the Slums" Pt II (R2D2-inspired deeply emotional tapping ..neck pup- no pick)
