Saying "Hello"

[leonardaxelsson]

Hi everybody!

I´m new to this forum, and thought that I might start with saying hello. My name is leonard, and I am a 27yrs old jazz guitarist from Sweden. I play both modern and older styles, and my main guitar is a Benedetto style Eastman AR810ce(great instrument). Right now I have just started a soft trio named UnderBlueLeaves, please hear us out at www.underblueleaves.com. Everything is recorded on minidisc, through a FANTASTIC microphone a friend of mine builds. I am actually also trying to find out what the interest would be for this mice, should he decide to go public, so please give me some feedback!

Thanks a lot

Leonard

Welcome leonardaxelsson. This is a great forum with great folks. I couldn't open your music by the way. The main page opened but nothing else would open.

I was able to hear it, except "Crush" kept stuttering. I like it though. Nice guitar. I hope to get myself a treat of a Benedetto one day... ;D

Hi again, folks!

To jazzalta2: The page behaves like that with some computers. Usually, just click the back button and try again. The second time it always works as far as I know.

To houseofshawn: Yeah, it is a great guitar. Just to make it clear, it´s an Eastman guitar built in the Benedeto style (Bob Benedetto actually helped Eastman a lot with their guitars), and most people agree that the Eastman plays and sounds to 95% as good as a Benedetto. But the list price is 2500$!!! Check their website, www.eastmanguitars.com, you´ll love what you find!

Keep on playing!

leonardaxelsson, tried everything and I can only get the main page. It's too bad because I would really like to hear the Eastman. Any other suggestions?

Hi again, jazzalta2!

Ok, send me an e-mail at [e-mail] and I will send you some samples from various playing situations.

All the best!
