我的結他雜記: Steinberger, SG, Pignose Amp, jazz scales/chords

I plugged my Steinberger Spirit into my Pignose amp. Then connect the preamp out to the computer for recording two tunes I posted on MySpace: All the things you are and Seven Come Eleven. I like the sound of this setup. I read that the amp makes the most difference in the sound for jazz. The guitar itself is not as important.
I got the TAB from books and magazines. Wasn't able to improvise. If you analyze the melody lines, there's actually a lot of major scales and mixolydian. Also there are some common licks. Finally they make some big "jumps" from high to low and back to high (高音跳去低音,低音跳去高音)
以下六線譜為例:
--------------------
-8---6---4-----3----
--------------------
---8---6---5-3------
--------------------
--------------------

仲有d常見lick:
-----------4-----
---------4-------
-------5---------
-----6-----------
-----------------
-----------------
至於chord方面,都係7th chord, 例如major 7, minor 7 同dominant 7,掃出來好jazzy
其實我在香港果支Epiphone SG比較多metal友用,好少jazz友彈SG,不過SG個pickup P-90就有經典jazz友用係其他結他。Jazz友多數彈大支厚身面拱出來果款。I'm tempted to buy an archtop jazz guitar someday. Not now of course. Maybe after the recession is over (10 years later?) Google過先知Les Paul有f-hole果支已經停左產。好少有。記得包以正好似有彈Steinberger。
