Great stuff, and another "must learn" for B11th.

Mighty fine! Very Happy

Eddie Rivers has a couple of excellent A6th instructional videos on Youtube.

When I go into a reverse slant using the Latch Lake bar with a concaved indent, it approximates the curve of the end of my thumb. The bar pivots under the first knuckle of the first finger, and by the ...

In my experience, it is the reverse slant that needs an indent. And to that end (no pun intended) the indent should aproximate the curve of the end of the thumb.

Consider the location of the volume and tone controls carefully, not to inhibit strum or palm harmonics at the upper frets, while keeping the volume control handy enough for swells.

Great sound! What is the serial number? Mine is C863.

Great find. The early 1960s were the last days of commercial art in advertising. Old National Geographic magazines are perfect chronology of the decline.

It seems that daylight through the window has affected the focus, under exposing the details. Its like looking into the sun.

Great stuff, it takes me back.

I would not be surprised if it turned out that the movie title inspired the song.

The correct song title is Waikiki Chickadee. "My Little Chickadee" was a 1940 movie starring W C Fields and Mae West.

From the overall quality and style, I would say Maxim. They made some nice horseshoe pickups.

Excellent! I have always liked piano and steel.

I am always interested in these perspectives. Mine is that great music never dies. There's a ton of young musicians playing great stuff. I am not really concerned with mass appeal.

Great track Very Happy

Great number all year round. Really swings. Very Happy

Also, there are a couple of good YT videos on A6th by Eddie Rivers.

Harmonic heaven. Very Happy

I leave it for for few more years Razz

Wonderful sustain on that recording.

That is wonderful !

Nice stuff! Very Happy

"When You Wish Upon A Star" also works well in B11th.

Your arrangement of Sound of Music surprised me. Very nice. I'm big fan of movie themes. Such great composing.
