This is the type of advice that clicks after years of puttin in work. It requires patience to sit on a tone for a bit before moving on to the next one, newer players dont think they have that kind of time. Top shelf lesson.
You have really hit on something there! I put in decades on classical guitar and like you I found it was all about THE SOUND. As a jazz player for the last three decades, I noticed that it was the tone that the guys who inspired and spoke to me, sounded great [their playing sound I mean...not just their amazing lines, but their tone] My guys are Wes and Pat, with a dispensation for Joe Pass 😎 To mention your pick video that I just saw, together with this dharma talk on note length, I reckon this is the motherlode for jazz guitarists. BTW, re the picks, I have been using the Golden Gate picks that are like a triangle with all the corners rounded off. Every note you play can sound like you played it with you thumb. They're just regular priced, nothing you'd be afraid to lose. I got turned onto them by Bobby Broom! Thank God for some sanity on this crazy scene man. What a relief to find someone who cares about this stuff. Best wishes from New Zealand!!
Great advice!
