I Just Got a Hofner Jazzica & an Aria L5 Copy - Does It Stack Up Against A Real Gibson L5? 

Thanks, Rich, your Infos are incredible.

Love your chord solos I'm going to copy some of this and try to do my own!

Thanks mate, from South Australia.

Splendid as always! Hope you’re doing well Rich!

Watching the replay in Chiangmai. Thanks so much!

Hi Rich, Allen from Canada .. Great live stream! I completely agree with the person who commented that your playing just seems to get better and better all the time! Great stuff! The Aria Pro L5 copy is pretty darn good, but to me the Gibson L5 is still my favourite sound. The tone is very distinctive and much richer and much better to my ears. I hope that one day I'll be able to buy one from you! Loved Scrapple from the Apple, your solo was great , and really loved those Ascending chromatic lines. Would love to be able to come to camp this year but can't as I will be working.. Take care, Allen

Greetings from Bucaramanga, Colombia. Wes: Repristinating old guitars sounds good to my ears. Then, if Rich handle them it’s fantastic! I try to tune in to every live session with you guys. Keep up the good work! 🇸🇪👨🏼‍🦳👩🏼‍🦰🇨🇴

I missed the OC show but usually go. That is a great guitar show. Not much good deals but awesome selection of guitars. So many nice Mosrites.

I have a Jazzica and love it great guitars. Jazz great Bobby Broom has been playing Jazzica's for a long time.

I have a Jazzica. Nice guitar. Should play it more. It has “toaster” pickups which are Hofners own, I think.. and Aria’s are great values now. Killer version of Desafinano…. Thanks, Shally

Rich, I enjoyed the Moonlight Serenade a lot.

Love my Jazzica! I think mine is from 2002 or 2003. Bought it from you before those with the antique finish came out. Mine is blonde.

Sounds great!

I play ALOT of Emo jazz chords in standard tuning (check out penfold for an example) But i feel this classy jazz is my next goal

One musician said Giant Steps changes are similar to the changes in the bridge to Have You Met Miss Jones, with mediant key relationships.

Not so impressed by the Hofner, but that Aria Pro II is quite the surprise. I owned an 1977 Pro II LP copy and am sorry I ever let it go.

U are an incredible player- god bless

BTW, Jimmy Bruno has several Cummings archtops. I saw him play one of them on one of his live posts.

Louis Bellson has the BEST jazz solo face, he loses all control, it develops a mind of its own. 😂

WANT AND NEED THIS GUITAR. WHATCHA ASKING FOR IT? JUST KIDDING RICH. I JUST BOUGHT AN ES 195 ARRIVING MONDAY. BUT MAN, HOW I WISH I CAN OWN ONE OF THESE TOO. IN THE FUTURE FOR SURE I WILL OWN ONE. THIS AND A BARNEY KESSEL. HOPE I SPELLED HIS NAME CORRECTLY.

Hofner ! Yes!

Awesome guitars! How many guitars do you purchas e in aweek Rich?

Rich does West play guitar as well ? In my 2nd month of learning to play guitar maybe in 30 year's I'll be able to play like you 😂

That rendition of The Entertainer might be the most impressive thing I have ever heard you play. How long did it take you to learn it? Amazing!

what guitar pick would you use to get a nice jazz sound if i improve my ibanez

Rich, are there ever any guitar shows in the Portland, Oregon area in the near future that you are aware of? Thank you, James

Hi Rich! Always enjoy and envy your playing. BTW: also enjoying your Improv course. ? What do you recommend for warm-up hands prior to practice/playing? At my age, it is becoming chronic for me.

So much reverb on Horner and Aria, it’s difficult to get an idea of their”dry” tone.

Is sharpvit l 5 for sale???

Bobby broom plays a jazzica

You have too many guitars, do you ever sell any of them?

Rich, do you have the entertainer on your website - the one played here on this episode? Would love to ge it.
