Jazz box GAS

Post by Cdog »

Been listening to a bit of Jazz guitar lately on YouTube... Decided to learn one of my fave tracks ever, Misty... naturally, now I also have GAS for a holowbody Jazz guitar. :lol:

Any jazz players on the forum? What guitars have you got?

I keep eyeing up a few on TradeMe. This one certainly looks the part.

Honestly, I'm a heathen who loves the sound of jazz played on Teles. Roll the tone back a touch and you're in hillbilly jazz heaven.

I'd say I was jazz curious... I can play a couple of tunes and I'm really keen on working all 12 notes (and a lot more chords) into my vocab.

I have a couple of Eastman guitars, they are wonderful. Here's one of them:

Wow... I think we may have reached the point of diminishing returns? :lol:
Not a huge fan of the private stock personally. They look like beautiful artworks more than guitars to me.

Listen to Make a Mistake With Me by Brad Paisley - first and second parts as it's sometimes in two different tracks.
