Yes, a Yamaha - knob head and doesn't it sound the bollox?! Frank played Yammys for years just as brilliantly as any of his Ibanez or Carvin guitars. He can make ANY guitar sound just the way he wants. Yamaha make some very good guitars. Don't knock 'em till you try 'em.
When i was a jazz improv student the targeting of thirds and sevenths was one of the first things we practiced, in particular the third to seventh resolution from chord to chord.
@hummarstra hello, been lookiong everywhere but how do i find the 3rds and 7ths on any chord, say i was playing a 2 5 1 in c???? this would really help me :)
@mitchellism Its actually really easy. For instance, your 2nd chord is the D-minor chord, since the progression is a 2,5,1, so now think what note is the 3rd and 7th of the D-minor chord? Well if you think the 3rd is the F note and the 7th is the C, since the 8th note is an octave and is the D note. Now do the same for the 5th chord in the C major scale. The fifth of C major is the G note. If the progression is only major/minor chords no 7ths, than the fifth chord is Gmaj chord.
@MrRuggo Damn, just typed the whole comment and than pressed backspace, threw me one page back. Anyway, the 3rd of the G major chord is B and 7th is an F. Learn your scale diagrams.Someone correct me if Im wrong.
@RedDragon52 First thing, change your attitude, cause you are/were being a prick. Secondly, the major G chord is the fifth chord in the major C scale. Since the C major scales G mode is G mixolydian, it has the minor 7th and it also contains the same notes as the C-major scale,therefore no F#. But you can try to play f# over this progression and hear if the note fits. ;)
@Tuscopa Yes one of my mates had lessons with him, but he ate him with beans and a nice chianti. lol Frank still rocks and is a great teacher as well as player.

I didn't know Butterbean played guitar, and is a monster on it at that!
Frank is one of the greatest MUSICIANS ever. Very underrated, but let's leave him that way otherwise he'll be as commercialized as John Mayer.
