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

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

I'm just back from an encounter on a hillside with a burning bush and now my man pole is itching .

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

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

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

😆 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

Hey Steve nice post but you spelt consensual wrong . Its spelled Kensensual 😁 Politely enthusiastic nostalgic initiates spellcheck . Kenny

I did see your reply and I have actually thought about it . You mentioned Milo was invited at the establishment . I can tell you Milo is fine around people yet he is super protective of me and very reactive and extremely aggressive towards other dogs . I have been working on training him to Leave it alone .... This has been my cross to bear with him and I hope someday he gets the memo and learns to chill . He is great in all other areas and I hope the day comes when I can even bring him back to a dog park . Coffee at Beacock's sometime in the afternoon is more along the lines of what I can call a comfortable handle for a first time meet socially . 😆 I bet you were probably thinking I was trying real hard to insult you right ? Once again NO I did want to throw a Jab at you for all the times you came at me while I let it slide and turned the other check . The fact of the matter is I came up with the whole Micro Pecker Thing because every time I used the sauna at the health club I work out at all these old fart naked exhibitionists in the sauna would ask me why am I not naked ? How come you still got your sweat bottoms on . ect ect I'm straight and I'm not into all this dickey dickey look'y lou stuff these guys wanted to play with me . One day after one of them asked me same question . I motioned him to lean in a little closer , then I asked him to keep my little secret ... I told him I was damaged at birth . Instead of having a normal sized endowment I had a Micro Pecker 😆 He looked at me shocked and I said yeah it's true man ... Then every body in the sauna at that time leaned in and I told them all , "It s one thing to have to go through life with a Micro Pecker" . "It is a whole other thing to show the people around your package and remove all doubt 😉 In other News , You said in your other post that you are more of you in real life than you are here on the forum . OK I got it . Where I'm from people don't try so hard to Eff and play mind games with other people like they do around here in Vantuckey . Where I'm from Its more like what happens in real uncensored nature . While Bambi is out in the fields munching on a mound of grass Mama Lion is getting ready to pounce because she has cubs to feed . The people that met me in real life and took the time to get to know me a little will tell you I am not prey 😉 Kenny

Thanks Steve ! I'm so happy that making fun of my self can bring joy and laughter to you 😃 Your much needed comment has helped get me over some recent bad news I just received earlier today . "Kenny it is with a heavy heart we regret to inform you that your missing man junk short film submission failed to make the cut for this years Honorary Mention Subcategory in The 2024 Oscars! Your Micro Pecker was just too long and you had had been edged out of the competition by fellow Coffee House Member Craigb " Kenny

Look who's talking ! I saw a centerfold of you in The 2024 Blues Balls Hall of Fame ! How much did you have to pay them to include you ?😅 Kenny

Back in 1978 I was fully immersed in my studies with Barry Galbraith . Plus I was working at a music store on West 48 Th St N .Y. C. ( my first music store Gig on W 48 Th St) It would take me weeks to learn how to play his chord melody arrangements of Jazz Standards . One of my favorites at the time was Here's That Rainy Day . BTW it took me months to learn and get that one in playable shape . So here I am I'm working at a music store and a lean well dressed gentleman wearing a Stetson cowboy hat and boots that cost as much as a down payment for a brand new car walks in carrying a guitar in a case. I was standing right near the entrance of the store so I said to him "can I help you" . He smiled at me , and said "I'm just looking around ",I asked him "what type of guitar you you have in the case "and he said "would you like to see it?" and I said "yes ". So we amble over to a part of the store where we had a little space and were we were out of some of the customers way .... He cracks open the guitar case and in it he has a 1950's era Gibson acoustic L 5 in Blond w a cut away. I just about shot a nut in my shorts when I saw his guitar 😆 I told him I loved Arch Tops and that I played a Pre War Epiphone Deluxe with a D Angelico fingerboard combined w a DeArmond Rhythm Chief P U ... He asks me if I wanted to play his guitar as he hands it to me . His L5 was a true joy to play . Real smooth , great action and a lovely Gibson acoustic tone .When I get done playing a few of the chord melodies I had been working on from my studies he asks me if I had a Union Card . I told him no I didn't have a union card . He says get one ! I ask him why and he tells me I will need a union card if I would like to take him up on his offer of giving me a gig in a Broadway Show . I was like what !!!!you want to get me a gig on Broadway . He then introduces himself to me . His name was Craig Chambers . Craig was the band leader of The Rio Grande band. The original band for the original Broadway version of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas . You bet I went out and got a union card ...I got the gig as a 2nd sub of the guitar chair partially due to politics and the fact that Craig liked the way I played ...At this show the band was small and the union forced the production to hire more band members to meet the min quota for the size of the theater , I didn't know that going in but either way I was so happy to have a little toe hold in something musical greater than selling guitars , picks and strings . I never got to play the show . I was #2 sub and Craig's #1 sub was fully fit and ready for duty . What they did do with me was they had me strolling outside and all through out the the theater playing my arch top acoustic while people milled around the theater before they found and got into their seats . I was OK with the situation as it was. I had the benefit of making a good friend at the time .I hung out with Craig , his wife and many of the cast and band members socially I remember we would go out some times for dinner ...like 20 of us and when it came time for the tab I would have to chip in more than what I got paid for the show because we divided the check evenly ...maybe that's why they hired me ...not 😁 Craig would also invite me to sit in with him and the band he used for his club gigs in N Y C . Those were some good times back then and I still think about some of the people like Craig Chambers I met from back then . People like that are so far and few between . So now every so often when you hear me say "I went from whats happening to What Happened "? it is these type of stories that illustrate what I mean 🙂 all the best , Kenny

Hi Strummy ! Once upon a time I did in fact have a massive pole . I remember those days well . I was young and in shape. Back then I had a set of six pack abs . Now that I'm old , wheezing up the 3 flights of stairs up to my flat , I'm now packing a Keg where my six pack abs used to be . I look down at my feet in the morning while I'm on my scale and I'm left saying to myself , "I can no longer see my man junk while looking down at me feet from up here ! Who stole my massive pole and left a micro pecker in it's place? " The authorities were of no help .They told me they didn't have the resources to help me and that it had served me right for telling people for decades the story of how they laughed me out of Harlem for only having ten inches . all the best , Kenny

Kenny

Thanks Grem ! I enjoyed your story also . The Music Store I worked at on W 48 Th St in NYC in the mid 80's was a magnet for having top musicians and guitar players dropping in to socialize , window shop or kill a little time between Gig's . Vernon used to come in and visit one of the guitar guys that worked there . They usually had conversations by passing the guitar back and forth and playing a little each time they did that . We had to do that there because if the owner or MGR heard 2 guys playing the same tune together at the same time on different guitars he would start yelling . I have seen him yell at some known players and it didn't matter who you were 🤣 One day I stood there and listened to Vernon and he started playing some Jazz .... Apparently he was working on developing and improving his chops in that genre so I said hey I play that type of music and he reluctantly handed me the guitar . I played him the same tune he was playing with a few kitchen sinks thrown in just to remind him that unknown guitar players that live under rocks that have to work in music stores can play too . As I was playing he backed up and put a WTF look on his face with the added you ain't so posed to play so good , you work in a guitar store look on his face .I laughed right back at him for that and I won't say we became friends but the few times I saw Vernon after that meeting we wound up having a few conversations VIA passing the guitar back in forth ... All the best , Kenny PS I can spill the beans regarding a lot more encounters along those lines w top tier players that have taken place over the years in various musical settings and circumstances .I just don't want to end up dropping names for the sake of trying to elevate my poor ole ailing self esteem 🫣

OK Craig....As far as I'm concerned You seem to have a habit of always trying to ride me and get a reaction from me with just about every other post I post on this forum . Regardless of the OP or the topic . Yet you don't have the stones to meet me in real Life 😉 Truthfully I don't care all that much about your puzzle . I only participated in your thread to have a little fun with the guys and I sure all ELL don't need your permission to do so . If it's all that important for you to maintain the" integrity of your literary masterpiece" , Why don't you take the time to educate me and show me the ones I missed In plain , simple easy to understand English . Put up or shut up ... Have a nice Day ! Kenny

Hhmmm Interesting Puzzle 🤔 Yay ! We may have cracked the code 🥳 Kenny

Lets hear one that involved an encounter with a professional musician and the comments they made . After my friend Brad and I picked up Joe Pass from the mid town hotel where he was staying and brought him to his Gig . I noticed Joe seemed to be acting a little strange . Normally Joe liked to enjoy a good glass of wine and a top quality cigar before a GIG backstage before his show but on this night he seemed noticeably off. I asked him what was going on and he told me his guitar didn't feel or sound right . So I opened up his guitar case , took a look inside and said "what the heck is this "? Joe looked at me with that look only a puppy dog would give you after he chewed up all the trash and redecorated the leather of you favorite pair of shoes and said " I tried a little experiment ! I wanted to see if cello strings would sound better than the brand of guitar strings I had been using on my guitar" .... I noodled around a little bit on his guitar and came to the conclusion these cello strings are not gonna work at all so I grabbed a set of his back up guitar strings and restrung his guitar as fast as I could backstage . It's a good thing that I did because when I got done he had about 10 or 15 min's free time left before he had to perform his show . So then Joe asks me to warm up and play his guitar and make sure they truly sound OK. So I launch into all my favorite imitations of what Joe Pass would sound like if he had no talent , was blindfolded , had one arm behind his back and had too much to drink 😆 After butchering a number of my interpretations of Solo Guitar Jazz Standards in the style of Joe , Joe told me he thought I sounded pretty good 😛 I knew he was shining me on but what he said next I was not prepared for or expecting ...He said "Kenny I don't feel good and you need to help me out . I'm not able to play or perform tonight ! Can you go out and play my GIG for me "? Right then and there my heart started pounding as it jumped up clear past my throat. I started shaking like a leaf in a tropical tornado . Then I looked down at my shoes with the tears starting to well up in my eyes and sheepishly proclaimed in a raspy whisper " I'm too young to Die .... The audience paid good money to see and hear you play . Not one of them even knows who I am and I might not make it out of here in one piece if I end up trying to do your show for you " The next thing I know Joe and his friend John were laughing their heads off ....They had set me up and pulled a whooper of a practical joke on me . Once the revelation set in I grabbed Joe , forced him into the bathroom stall he had back stage and tied him up with his own neck tie and left him there for the few mins he had left before he performed his show .... Oh man those were good times ...anyway the picture I have enclosed in this post has one of the two bottom shots from that GIG .. Bottom left Joe performing at another one of his Gig's . Bottom right backstage with Joe ..at the GIG from this story .His friend John on the left was a great guitar player and that's little ole me on the right ... Brad who took the lower 2 photo's is in the top photo . We are having a private diner with Joe before one of his Gigs. Whew !!! all the best Kenny

Pretending enlightenment negates instant success because eventually a non penetrating muff muncher's Pud enlargement now envisions sanctuary . Kenny

It is clear to me after reading "that one " in reverse order Paulo's enigmatic nouns instigated Steve ! Kenny

Nice playing 😀 One comment you will never hear concerning these two musicians is " Nice Beards " Kenny

I'm glad you liked my story . Lets see if we can fill in some of the blanks for you😉. I got off work 2 AM after last call , walked her home and stood under a tree in her yard 25 feet away from her house and we talked until the sun came up . Why may you ask ? Well the obvious reason would be it is possible either her mom or her grandma would not have known I was there nor would they have appreciated running across me in their see through nightie's as they went for a 4 AM snack ...SO we kept it outside and respected their space . That is one possible explanation but the truth is this lovely lady had done her homework and researched me over at my Snag A Date with Kenny Wilson Web Page . After she had read my profile she realized one of my greatest turn on's in life is to climb into a tree in a private yard with a lovely woman , beat my chest and proclaim at the top of my lungs " Me Tarzan you Jane " Hope this info helps . All the best , gulp ....Tarzan

Things must have gotten tough all over for Recording Studios . I remember they had a bowl just like that in the reception area but it had something else in it 😎 Kenny
