Hi everyone I hope you have been enjoying my column, here's
more stuff to ponder. It seems every time you turn around
there's another list, 100 best this, 10 worst that's. Well
here's another list for ya! But at least this one does not
involve Paris Hilton. I now that some of my listings may be a
bit controversial (one in particular) as I said before these
are my opinions based on my experiences. Like all things in
music they are not right or wrong, just some good natured
opinions that will hopefully stimulate your own thoughts on
this subject

Whatever you call this instrument, the Gittler certainly pushes the envelope of what is a guitar! Alan Gittler (born in 1928) was originally a jazz guitarist in New York, heavily influenced by Remo Palmieri. He played music, composed, and even wrote and produced a film called Parachute to Paradise. He worked as a film editor for many years, invented a number of photographic-related devices, and even wrote a novel. At one point he was performing on New York streets with a Velasquez classical guitar run through a battery-powered amplifier. Gittler, by preference, only ever owned one guitar at a time. But he knew that the classical through a battery amp wasn?t right. So he began thinking about designing a guitar.

I've already done a column about all the great equipment I
lost in my drunken stupid years (as opposed to my current
sober stupid years). It was, in its own way, a fun piece to
write - a catalog and inventory of all the VERY cool guitar
stuff (guitars, amps, pedals and so on) I let go for gas
money, drug money, and/or stuff I left in apartments I wasn't
allowed to return back to either by landlords, ex-
girlfriends, or sheriff's departments up and down the east
coast.

First of all, I promise that there is more to this than my
history as a musician, but it does set the backdrop for a
strange fascination that I've developed. I started out playing
bass with a high school hard rock band in 1982. I just wanted
to be in my friend's newly formed band and couldn't sing, play
guitar, or play drums. Yeah, I was pretty untalented musically
for the most part (and some people might still say that if you
asked them in private). I figured that maybe I could play bass
since they didn't have a bassist.

As you must know by now, when I improvise melody over a
piece of music, I don't think scales. I would have very little
success creating a solo over anything thinking scales. That's
not to say that others wouldn't ... but I wouldn't know where
to begin thinking along those lines, especially in a piece
like this that introduces a bunch of 'outside chords' into the
picture

get the most from your next recording session.

month their newest model, the AIRLINE TWIN TONE. This
baby sound killer and plays like a dream. And at only
$499, it is destined to become a best-seller for Eastwood
