  1. The Gibson ES 175 CC I bought a little over a year ago was a guitar I had wanted to own and play for 40 years . I got the ES at a good price because the frets were pretty low and the guitar needed a fret job . I personally don't like fret less wonder neck set ups so I start saving up the money to get the fret work done . Other than that one vintage wear and tear issue , the guitar itself is in great shape . 💪👄👍 His video hit the nail on the head when he mentioned often times Vintage Guitars need work done to them . Getting them playable for your personal playing preferences may involve costly repairs. Finding the right qualified person / shop to have the work done has been a real PITA . I did an extensive search and I may have found a shop in Portland OR to have the work done .... Yeah Great ...So Guess what ? So now that I have left Vintage Guitar Repair Purgatory !! I'm now in Vintage Guitar Repair Limbo ! A fret job in the shop I'm considering having the work done at costs right on the border just about North of $600.00 +. If I have to pay that much to get it done right OK ! I think I Ken Do It ! So I close my eyes, take a deep breath, click my cowboy boots three times , grab my ankles and whisper. I Ken do that 🫣 OK! so now I have taken all the time it took to raise the coin to get the work done . It still feels like I can't seem to win .... I live a few miles just outside of an area where many reputable stores and shops make the Local News almost nightly for repeated break ins, store vandalism and thefts .The repair shop is dead smack in the thick of all that ... Even though I have questioned the shop personal on the phone about how things are for the shop, the safety of the area , and parking . I have decided put the fret job on hold because I am not leaving my guitar anyplace with anyone for 2 to 3 months just to have the work done .... NO Ken DO I'm just not feeling the Love ! So on behalf of myself and my Vintage ES 175 . We are proud to have contributed and we gladly accept the Trophy for Our respectable Fifth Place finish in The Great Guitars that Suck to Own thread Kenny
  2. He talked about some issues I have going on with two of my best Guitars 😉 Kenny
  3. It's hard to believe I never heard of this guys son Jay Roberts till today . He showed up in a video feed on u tube !! Learn something new every day Here he is showing his version of Super Chops 1 Jays u tube page also has videos documenting his father Howard Roberts playing Via spoken interviews . Here's one . This is the link to Jay Roberts videos on u tube . I have poked around and I can say he has some good videos. https://www.youtube.com/@RobertsMusicInstitute/videos all the best , Kenny
  4. OK it is now time to share an experience of what happened too me where I'm not exactly proud of the experiences out come . away ... Having said that ! This one goes down as not being my brightest idea ! Back in the day I went full on fastest guitar slinger mode by entering into a fully one sided competition of fret board chops with a top call session guitarist in his own home and boy did I really pissed him off . When all was said and done this guitar hero got up off his chair and stood there there pointing his finger at the front door of his N.Y.C. home while commanding me in a forceful tone of voice to " Get the hell out of my house now " I'm not gonna put up with this $Hit in my own home " So I handed him back the 60's Fender Strat ! he played all "his" iconic guitar parts on from the song /recording Reeling In The Years and left . From that day onward for at least what seemed like a solid decade my phone stopped ringing..... It took me a real long time for the light bulb of that lesson to light up and fully take root. What did I eventually learn ? When you think your the fastest guitarist in the West. Don't go out and try to prove it to The World . Resist the temptation to prove your agility and prowess by fast drawing on your musical jam partners and collaborators. When you are playing music with people it is always possible they can help you because they may turn out to be an asset or even form a future alliance with you to help aid you in your musical career . The opposite effect can also be true which I happened to find out that day! It don't matter if you playing checkers , cards, bowling , golf or guitars ! Always tailor what you play on your instrument to complement their playing ! Learn from my mistake !!! 😢 Don't pull a "Kenny " !! Always let them win Kenny
  5. Yes it was Green ! IIRC This bowl of green sat right between another bowl filled with various multicolored vitamins and a bottle of Jack ! Times have sure changed ! Nowadays The Studios seem to keep all the good stuff hidden and out of plain sight . Kenny
  6. Old Joad ! Thank You for listening and your u tube comment ! Kenny

  8. Hi all , I was searching for a Howard Roberts instructional book I had mentioned in Grem's topic on Howard Roberts . BTW I did find the Book in PDF form . While I was searching around I found this video I had done 12 years ago but did not post or share online ... I'm posting my performance now because I spent a lot of years playing a Howard Roberts styled guitar which to this day I still miss ( The H R Guitar is typically a full hollow body arch top with an oval sound hole instead of F Holes w a suspended floating neck pick up ) I'm posting this pictured here only because one can't tell what guitar I'm playing in the video In this video I'm playing my H R style guitar totally acoustic . I'm using a Zoom Q3 for both my video audio recording . I Hope you enjoy the sounds I'm playing here . As far as the The fugly goes I cant do anything much about it now since I have past my stay fresh date 😆 all the best , Kenny
  9. I studied with Barry Galbraith in the 70's . I was one of the last long term students he took on and I played in a guitar ensemble he formed for his top students. Barry had just as much "Musical Cred" as Howard Roberts .Most guitarists in the know consider Barry to be the East Coast Equivalent of Howard . Check out Barry's credentials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Galbraith Wow !! I had no idea Super Chops went for so much money in today's market . 🥹 After I saw the price Amazon was selling it for I hunted down my PDF copy of Super Chops and found it 🥳 Say !I know a guy that can offer you a great deal at $235.95 😆 just kidding PM me....... maybe we can figure something out . I sold my Howard Roberts style guitar about a year and a half ago . Rather than invade this thread w my media I posted a pic and a video of my guitar in the E Minor Improvisation Thread Kenny
  10. I'm just back from an encounter on a hillside with a burning bush and now my man pole is itching . I was told if I come here and pass this additional Strummy Puzzle information along the bush will cure the itch for me !

  11. With Transcribe not only can you speed up , slow down and transpose your material an octave higher or lower with musical accuracy. You can adjust the E Q to filter out the unwanted frequency's that mask the material you are looking to place under the musical microscope . If that and looping is not enough , you can also loop many of the instruction videos that are out there depending on format and view what the musician is playing at a speed where you can see exactly what is going on the guitar or keyboard ... I like to create 3 different speeds of a section of music I'm working on and export them one at a time and make a song / lick practice session where I can recombine them as one wave file or video to make an individual study of what whatever material I am working on .. Act Now ! Our operators are standing by , when you become one of the next 500 callers we will inform you of the art of sampling music in Transcribe. This hidden aspect of our application features the ability of Transcribe to export within a range of 24 semitones while you have Cakewalk open and running . Your Cakewalk Audio folder will thank me later! 😉 Kenny
  12. I have been listening to Howard Roberts since I was in my 20 's . One of the all time greats on Guitar . Hunt down his guitar method Super Chops ...That ought to keep you busy for the next 40 or 50 years Kenny
  13. Transcribe is my go to desert island music learning app . If I only had to have one app to rule them all it would be transcribe 🙂 Kenny
  14. 😆 When it comes to substantive junk , I think most people are not prepared to be stuck in between floors in an elevator with no apparent escape while becoming face to man junk with a genuine two fist-ted engorged throbbing shiny pole Even in the best of circumstances it can be a shock . I remember the first time I played strip poker way way out in the boonies at a farm . The farmers daughter told us we were one person short for a game so she dressed up her horse with a blanket some carrots and a saddle to let him play . He soon lost all his horse accessory's and carrots in the game . The farmers daughter did beat me also and after the horse got a good look at my shiny pole he spent the rest of the evening crying his eyes out into his oats and a bale of hay . I'm not entirely sure what happened . I was sure he had me beat in size but not in girth . So I figure her horse must have took a moment to read the ingredients on my pole ! This Massive Pole is all natural and contains the following ingredients . Purple Enchanting Nourishing Irresistible Simulations designed to satisfy the recipient Performing Erotic Nibbling s Infinitely Satisfying experiences of a Perfect Exotic Nibbling Impeccably Spectacular taste experience The Micro package thing is only a defensive counter measure I use to get people to step back and question Is this guy for real ! The Band Idea sounds interesting 😊 all the best , Kenny
