I like him when he does not do classical I used to know the guitar player in one of his more jazz based music

So I'm having a coffee in the park whilst being entertained by a Suzuki violin class next to the cafe. You can see why this system can get very good results - learning to play together in time and in tune at a very young age. It sets very good foundations from what I can hear!

The BBC are giving a lot of coverage to young violinist Randall Goosby at present. I saw a report on him last night - turns out he studied with Perlman. |

Just so moving.

This is pretty cool.  A new Fender Telecaster inspired by Stradivarius. Love the details in the finish. |

Is it like ripped jeans where you pay more for the scratches?

Guitarists (and bassists) are split over aged/roadworn/relic-ed instruments. My opinion is that if I'm paying a lot of money for somethung I'd rather like it without chunks of paint missing and dents in it. I'm quite capable of "aging" my own instruments thank you very much. A genuine baged up and honestly battered guitar is said to have "mojo," it's had a life, and you can't buy mojo.
Others are of the completerly opposite opinion. Discussion of it is banned on the bass forum I belong to because feelings actually run very hot over it.

This guitar is rather different in its aims - it's trying to recreate the look and texture of a priceless violin, not a knackered / road-worn Tele. I think they've done a great job - can't be easy working in that amount of detail.

Carnegie Hall is starting a subscription streaming service via Apple TV - $7.99 per month in the US and in the UK it's £6.99 - an interesting currency conversion going on there ... www.carnegiehall.org/Carnegie-Hall-Plus |
