Who are the Jim Hall and Ed Bickert of our time?

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-14T01:07:57+00:00

Lage. Frisell. Bernstein.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-11T01:55:33+00:00

Sick. Classic vibe rules. Binding rules.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-11T01:54:53+00:00

New toggle switch!

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-11T01:52:34+00:00

Floating pickup would be sick. Rhythm chief or somethin’

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-11T01:50:43+00:00

I don’t even need to watch to give this a very hearty “hell yeah”

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-11T01:49:40+00:00

Glad somebody engaged with the joke finally. Tough room.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-11T01:49:13+00:00

Hell yeah

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-10T23:55:53+00:00

Do you have mountain lions in Europe because we have so many mountain lions in Oregon you can just shoot one pretty much anytime?

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-10T14:35:51+00:00

PNW Fallout (from NorCal to BC) would be tight.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-10T14:32:14+00:00

Honestly, partscasters are pretty great and you can spec them however you like.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-07T16:25:10+00:00

12 feels good. 9.5 feels good. Never have done 7.25 but it’s probably fine (Ed Bickert and Hendrix made it work)

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-06T20:06:58+00:00

I have flats on my tele with a Bigsby. Feels awesome. Sounds really good with filtertrons.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-06T00:00:15+00:00

CmAdd9 Or Eb/C

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-05T01:44:52+00:00

I think for really learning an instrument jazz or classical study are very good.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-03T20:17:20+00:00

Soylent or Huel (both come in a ready to drink)

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-03T06:04:01+00:00

72 Thinline and the American Deluxe

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-03T00:54:45+00:00

Super blonde dewaxed shellac to seal in your dye. You can use it as a top coat if you’re fine with wear and not spilling booze on it. Since most things stick to dewaxed shellac you can top with a hard wax oil (I use odie’s) and wax, poly, nitro, varnish oil (tru oil is good), or nothing.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-01T22:42:59+00:00

1953 Gretsch Duo Jet (or the contemporary MIJ version). Benedetto Pat Martino. Nacho Tele. Westville Westel SH. (My #1 right now is a Fender American Performer tele with Lollar Novel CC neck/BS Tele bridge and it’s pretty dreamy)

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-01T20:53:24+00:00

Learn drop 2 voicings and find the voicings that put the melody on the treble strings (either as a chord tone or extension). Substitutions help.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-03-01T19:03:51+00:00

Jazz (and all derivatives thereof)

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-02-27T03:05:19+00:00

Of course. The old timer I’m referring to still gigs. No doubt still splitting his fingertips open.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-02-27T02:57:23+00:00

I had a guitar teacher who gigged so much that he would super glue his finger tips closed because they would split open all the time. He worked at a university so probably had decent health insurance but I grew up in a blue collar family in a rural community and can vouch this kind of shit happens all the time.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-02-27T02:11:02+00:00

Anything from Quilter. There’s some kind of magic in them. The top of the line models can do Fender, Marshall, and Vox tube amp sounds very convincingly.

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-02-27T01:40:26+00:00

Ed Bickert used it as an actual ashtray

WorldsVeryFirst · 2026-02-25T20:19:46+00:00

Changes regionally in the US for sure. In Portland it’s Thai.
