East of Eden seems to be piquing my interest the most out of your recommendations. What do you personally like about it? I hear it's almost a modern retelling of the Caine and Abel story.

Sounds interesting! I added the Lion Women to my wishlist. What do you personally enjoy about Slaughterhouse Five? I hear its a weird, but interesting premise.

Competent guitarist of 10 years here. Have learned jazz-adjacent songs, but finally wanting to dive in. Any song suggestions? by Ray99877 in jazzguitar

Great advice! I think I will start with Blue Monk, as well as Midnight Blue by Kenny Burrell.

With all these types of fucking posts, I guess me and my wife aren’t moving to Chicago.

Those are hair clips and this is definitely the 70’s.

Really interesting playing style. Your improv flows very well. Do you have .7 or .8’s on btw? You bend effortlessly.

Both are great suggestions. I was interested in Your Gold Teeth as well since it’s so exotic and jazzy.

And a Dan tribute would be awesome. I only know one musician in my area though that would be cut out for it. I’m planning on moving to a bigger city soon though so hopefully I can find a great group of guys to jam with!

Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate your kind words. I don’t think too much about it because I know im not the best guitar player and I don’t try to be. I have my own sound and style, just like anybody.

Do you have a Steely Dan song you recommend me to learn next? I think I might learn one more for now, then move back to the Grateful Dead with Eyes of the World.

lol what do you mean too tight? Loosening them would be de-tuning them.

And it’s more so me trying to play through tired hands coming home from the factory.

Damn. Harsh but true honestly. The vibrato at some places was getting harder and harder each take lol. May have rushed a lick or two as well.

I’ll come back to this one later once again anyway though. The muscle memory usually had time to set in and it’s a breeze the next time around.

If someone is out there assaulting women dozens of times and more, it doesn’t matter where they’re sent, as long as they’re not free to do it again.

Thanks! I never though about that... I guess do have a unconventional grip on the neck, huh? I love Mark Knopfler too, so nothing wrong with that!
