i currently have a spruce picado model 54...saving for his concierto model...play it every week in the store :D just got it last summer, but im always on the lookout for more. For jazz, i have a 1968 es 335 (gibson) plays so SMOOTH!!, and am saving for a nylon stringed django guitar, made by giammbatista. as to the band, we play many tunes. some charlie parker...i know they did Orinthology last year (wasnt in high school-im the youngest one in the band-auditioned and got in because i was musically better than other kids who learn by tabs) we are doing count basie tunes (currently blues in hoss flat, cb express) thelonius monk ( well you needn't)...some standards we do are girl from ipanema, orinthology. out big thing is also improv, which being a classical guitar play mainly is really new to me. my hands hurt from this typing .. need to rest so i can play :P
