Bigsby B50


I think this is what I'm getting for my birthday... which is Sunday. Rather than a new piece of jewelry, I've asked the man to buy me a tremolo. Of course, he wouldn't know how to do that, so I'm ordering it myself.

I am waiting for a call-back from some guy at Sweetwater, whom my guitar teacher Bobby Lebel (see his link at left) recommended.

I'm opting for this aluminum one because after all, why put something high-end on a low-end guitar? My electric is a knock-off Gibson (Epi Les Paul 100), so I don't need the real deal for this part either. I like the LP but have always wished it had a tremolo. Bobby suggested I have one put on -- which I'd never thought to do.

Tab Sheet


When it comes to playing anything other than classical, I use tab. I'm posting a blank page of the tablature template I use, which is broken down into measures. I'd much rather print my own than pay for it...

Restructuring

Yes, I've deleted all my old posts...

I've started with a new teacher, new style, totally reconstructing my playing so I'm starting a clean slate. It's been like messing with my golf swing. I really really sucked at it, but now feel like I am playing again.
