Following a good hours worth of rummaging it was time to start with the regular players night. This kicked off with Andy Hulme and Darren playing Honeysuckle Rose followed by On a Clear Day. Both tunes were beautifully played and, as ever with musicians of this quality, it sounded as if they had played together for years. In actual fact this was the first time that they had played together. Next up was Robins short talk on more modern players. This was a useful list of whos out there for people to check out in their own time. It was a handy overview for those unfamiliar with the names and a helpful starting point for further listening. Robin was followed by a scaled down version of The Idle Guits; comprising this time of only three players. They played a nice contrapuntal version of Fly Me to the Moon. A great theme arrangement with every guitar taking a vital and effective voice. Darren and Colin were the featured soloists. The first half was brought to a close by Idle Guit Tim playing a slow blues in C.
Following the interval two new faces at HJGS, Dave Evans (right) and Mike Dexter (left) played a Django set, starting with Minor Swing followed by I Cant Give You Anything But Love. All played on Maccaferri/Selmer look-alikes and sound-alikes, with just the right combination of sparkle and brashness. HJGS then gave a very warm welcome to guest duo Trefor Owen and Andy Hulme who began their set with Jerome Kerns Yesterdays. This was followed by How About You in a tasty arrangement with a beautifully harmonized head. Their enjoyable set concluded with Mancinis Days of Wine and Roses. Trefors and Andys mainstream jazz guitar set was then contrasted by the more earthy funk-based music of Martin and Jez whose set began with Thats Why That Happened an original composition by Jez with a gentle bossa feel. Jez took the first solo which was imbued by a Mullenish fleshy (thumb) tone. Great playing but a little marred by tuning issues. New strings? Or too light for the genre? Martins playing has become more studied and careful, exactly what is required to realize his profound musical vision and move away from a lick informed approach. Their second tune, a laid back reading of Mr PC, was an altogether funkier affair, replete with bends, slaps and slides.

Ian Wroe Week 3. I need to get used to the un-natural interval (a 5th) between the A and E bass strings so I start practising 10ths (think 3rds but with more strings between). Still having trouble with seeing the extra string and wondering if my hands are in the right place. Week 4. Bass string still a bit slappy so up to 76 thou. As a guitarist I would normally only think to tow a car with a piece of cable this thick, still it seems to do the trick. Start working on chords which would normally have bass on 5th string. The mechanics of moving a finger the extra inch over proving troublesome. Week 5. Week 6. First gig on 6 string where I started reaching over for the 7th string. Looks like Im going to have to decide which route to take. First gig on 7 string. A duo with the lovely Carol Brown singing. Having the extra bottom end on the guitar really fills the sound out. Im getting to like this.

For a bit of seasonal festive fun why not take a look at the GuitarBytes advent calendar. Each day when you open a door youll find a video performance by HJGS member Darren Dutson Bromley showing you how to play a different Christmas song especially arranged for the calendar. Each piece is accompanied by a score to help you learn it. The songs vary in difficulty, some are intermediate level some are more advanced but each is a useful lesson in arranging as well as a worthy addition to the Christmas repertoire. http://www.guitarbytes.co.uk/podcasts/advent/

Take Your Pick was my introduction to Billy. I once paid the price of a small car to obtain a clean copy in an auction. To return to my earlier story, several years after passing on Makin It a friend and great jazz player (Mel Gibbons) lent me a copy of Take Your Pick. It was, like my first experience of Wes Montgomery, life changing, through lifes ups and downs Take Your Pick has always been with me, one of the tiny handful of possessions from which I am inseparable. Miss this reissue at your peril!! Adrian Ingram ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a new guitar strap/support we came across at a recent guitar show. It looked very impressive.

Most jazz guitars have magnetic pickups and jazz guitarists often have strong views as to which type or make of pickup provides them with their favoured sound. Many players will take the trouble to fit replacement pickups in order to find the ideal sound for their taste. There is a wide choice available. However for the player who requires a true acoustic tone for their style of playing, Hot Club for example, all too often the choice is limited to a microphone (mic) on a stand or an under saddle transducer. The worst case scenario is when the guitarist has to borrow whatever mic comes with the house P.A., point it at the instrument and hope for the best! If the player is lucky, the mic will be one designed for instruments rather than the more common vocal mic, (an SM58 is great for vocals but its frequency response and proximity effect which are designed to enhance vocals make it less than ideal for instruments), and of course the stand mic requires the guitarist to maintain a constant distance between the instrument and the mic (posture issues). The under saddle transducer produces a distinctive electro-acoustic sound. This is because it feels the structural vibrations of the instrument rather than hearing the sound waves transmitted through the air, as our ears do. Extensive eq correction is often required in order to produce an acceptable sound and even then it is not a true acoustic sound.
Microvox offers a solution to many problems of reproducing a true acoustic sound. The system consists of a dedicated power supply (NB it is not a preamp) and a miniature flat response condenser mic. The mic element is housed in a small black aluminium block and faces down onto the instrument. It attaches to the instrument by means of a Velcro pad. This method of fixing isolates the mic from unwanted structural vibration and ensures the mic is a fixed and constant distance from the sound source.
Any pickup device is the first link in the amplification chain. Microvox system mics ensure that this first crucial link is as faithful to the true sound as possible. Members of HJGS will receive a 10% discount on all Microvox products from Westfield Music in Wakefield. Contact details: -
The recommended Microvox for acoustic guitar is M400 with either PSU.
