I'm looking to get my homemade Willis/Garrison style ramp upgraded to a professionally made, clean looking one. My problem? I haven't the slightest idea who to get ahold of regarding it. I'm in North County San Diego and I'm sure there has to be a Luthier around who can just stick a radius...

I believe that thinking of slap/finger/garrison(or dipiazza or just four finger technique) as separate entities requiring large shifts in position and way of thinking is folly. They are the same, the only difference is a small shift in your right hand and a different sound coming from the...

I recently came into possession of this little Auto-Wah/Envelope Filter Gem after a trade and must say it's a real go-getter. It's apparently like 20 years old but still functions absolutely perfectly. It only has 2 knobs, sensitivity and peak (which affect the dynamics and range of the...

So I have a Conklin GTBD-7 which I have finally gotten set up to my liking and yet I keep finding little snags with it's playability. Mainly the finish on the back of the neck is really tacky and I MUCH prefer a oiled/raw necks feel. Any way I could help this? Even strip the finish? I know...

These cats write the tastiest jams. Link Removed Just learned the tune Temporarily Destabilized.

I always see people asking if the closed palm, four finger technique "can be used for metal". Silly question, I know. But here's the response.

Does this guy have an incorrigible sense of self-importance about him or is it just me? The way the man speaks in his instructional DVD and the stuff that goes onto his webpage just reek to me. I don't know the guy and have never spoken to him but I just get this feeling of, I dunno, silly...

Matt Garrison was going to be on Jimmy Herring's summer tour and I have been gearing up for this for like a month! Sadly, he dropped off and now some other guy (whose name is currently escaping me) is taking over. Bust. What a let down. It's still going to be rad to see Herring playing with...

I just made some killer Bananas Foster for my parents, my sister and her son and man, I forgot why it is my favorite dessert of all time. So buttery and uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, deliciouuuuuus. Anyone else love the Foster or perhaps have another Dessert they love maybe a little too much? any...

So I've made a few instructional videos on Youtube ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) and I'm really not too sure what to make next. I did Four Finger Technique and Sweep Arepeggios and am at a loss as to what people would like to see. I was thinking some Tapping lessons, maybe Fur Elise...

Got a few others up but this is the most recent. Also stuck some Four Finger and Sweeping Lessons up. What do you guys think?

I've been writing some solo bass stuff for a while now ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed] shameless plug!) and my problem lies not with harmony, or writing melodies or even whacky techniques but with my timing. I feel like I am focusing so much on playing the write notes that I speed up and...

I've stuck some Bass instructional videos up on Youtube and thought it might help some of you TBers out. I put up a lesson on Matt Garrison Four Finger Technique and just today put one up that explains some Sweeping Technique and goes into detail on the intro to the tune Skitzo by Adam Nitti...

So I've decided to take a shot at being Alton Brown for the bass. I put up a lesson for Matt Garrison's technique up on Youtube and am currently loading a lesson for the intro to Skitzo by Adam Nitti and the Sweeping involved. Check it out! Don't leave me nasty comments! Thank you! edit...

Garrison is going on tour with the Jimmy Herring Band, the lineup is incredible Jimmy Herring - Guitar, Matt Garrison - Bass, Scott Kinsey - Keys, Jeff Sipe - Drums and Greg Osby - Sax. Holy crap. I'm going to the show on the 21st in San Diego. Anyone else as stoked for this as I am? I'm...

So I've been on a gigantic Feraud binge and no matter how I try, I cannot seem to emulate his phrasing and general sound. The really fast runs I can do (technique wise) but they never end up sounding like HIS very fast runs. I've come to conclude that the use of Symmetrical Diminished scales...

Howdy folks, long time lurker, first time poster. So I own an Ibanez SR506 (which I love) that was made in the recent past (I don't have it with me so I can't tell you the exact year, I think 05 though) but when I ever jam on a newer SR 6 the neck feels much shallower (thickness not width)...
