Telecaster mod

Don357 — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 15:21:50 +0000

I am considering making some changes to my Squire Affinity Tele. I love the way it plays but dislike the sound of the lipstick neck pickup. I have been thinking about keeping the angled single coil and stock bridge, but replacing the neck pickup with a mini humbucker or double hot rail, and adding the same in the middle, and a 5 way switch. Any constructive suggestions or comments. Anyone ever done this or something similar?

Finger length and neck radius

nethanpaul — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 20:49:17 +0000

I truly believe for me anyway, long thin fingers work the best with a tight radius, 7.5. My fingers are always bent in a round inward position. Does anyone else feel the same way about this. Just curious. Cheers everyone!

Minor blues fusion guitar solo

AngeloNapoli — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 23:20:00 +0000

Hi friends, Just finished posting a C minor blues fusion guitar solo. Was quite fun to play over. Video is short (less than 2mns). Played with my loyal Ibanez FG100 and I used THU for the guitar sound. The cool thing with this backing track is that it gives some freedom about the intervals and arpegios you can play over. Hope you will like it! https://youtu.be/Pz7WCsbGlQo

Guitar solo over "Benson Disco Funk" backing track

AngeloNapoli — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 22:26:32 +0000

Howdy! I'm happy to share this funky backing track I really love. Wanted to give it a shot. Had to reduce the tempo a lil' bit (from 115 to 108 cause it was hard to play some of the phrases I had on my mind at 115bpm). Hope you will like it.

Jazz fusion guitar solo over "Blue Bossa"

Hi all, I decided to have fun with the Blue bossa standard chord changes. I opted for a modern groove and played on it. This is a short clip. Hope you will like it. Played on my Fender Mustang 1966 and used THU for the guitar sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btnDGyRL1HI

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught, 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein

Rene A — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 04:42:16 +0000

"You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" is a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific.

South Pacific received scrutiny for its commentary regarding relationships between different races and ethnic groups. In particular, "You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught" was subject to widespread criticism, judged by some to be too controversial or downright inappropriate for the musical stage. Sung by the character Lieutenant Cable, the song is preceded by a line saying racism is "not born in you! It happens after you’re born..."

This version is from James Taylor's latest album American Standards.

Run To Me, Bee Gees 1972

Rene A — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 06:11:48 +0000

"Run To Me" by the Bee Gees.
Released in 12 April 1972.

If ever you got rain in your heart
Someone has hurt you, and torn you apart
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
And let it be like they said it would be
Me loving you girl, and you loving me
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
Run to me whenever you're lonely
(To love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older
So darling, you run to me
And when you're out in the cold
No one beside you
And no one to hold
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
And when you've got nothing to lose
Nothing to pay for, nothing to choose
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
Run to me whenever you're lonely
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older
So darling, you run to me
Run to me whenever you're lonely
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older
So darling, you run to me
Run to me whenever you're lonely
