Jackson Smith’s Gretsch Custom Shop 6120
I’d really like to try this out someday. 22.5” scale! With my open top C.A.R.s vibrato arm. It would sure make Johnny Smith chord voicings easier.

Take The “A” Train
Guitarist Josh Jove worked out a nice two part version of a riff I posted awhile back on instagram. The riff is over the chords of Count Basie’s Take The ”A” Train. I’ve been lucky to jam with a Josh a few times, he’s a really versatile guitarist. His main band is the Shelters but recently (before coronavirus) he’s been playing lead guitar for the Eagles of Death Metal.
Check out Josh’s clip below, he’s playing a Duo Jet I did up for him last year. My clip is at the bottom for reference. Lately I’ve been working on a riff over the chords to Cherokee. I’ll post it in a week or so. Cheers
