मैं जो करता हूँ, वह शायद यह है कि किसी भी नई चीज़ को अपने पहले के अनुभवों से जोड़कर देखता हूँ। जो चीज़ मेरे पुराने अनुभवों से जितनी ज़्यादा मिलती-जुलती होती है, उसे समझना उतना ही आसान हो जाता है। ऐसे में मुझे बस यह याद रखना होता है कि वह कहाँ पर अलग है—जैसे किसी धुन के कॉर्ड्स को किसी दूसरी धुन (या कई अलग-अलग धुनों) से मिलाना, या उनके कुछ हिस्सों को लेकर आगे बढ़ाना।
What I think I do is to relate any new material to how similar it is to something else. The closest that I can come up with something that's already in my experience, the easier it becomes. All I have to do then is remember where it differs, like relating a chord sequence that comes from some other tune, or several different tunes, or maybe parts of them and then work it from there.

...तब तक मुझे थोड़े-बहुत काम मिलने लगे थे, मैं कुछ बजाता था जिसके मुझे पैसे मिलते थे—बहुत ज़्यादा नहीं, लेकिन इतने कि मुझे एक असली वाद्य यंत्र (इंस्ट्रूमेंट) खरीदने का हक महसूस हो सके। मैंने डी-आर्मंड पिकअप वाला एक ग्रेत्श और एक सेकंड-हैंड गिब्सन एम्पलीफायर खरीदा; वह चार्ली क्रिश्चियन द्वारा इस्तेमाल किए जाने वाले एम्पलीफायर जैसा दिखता था। मुझे लगता है कि वह वही मॉडल था, हालाँकि उस समय कई मॉडल आ रहे थे—यह बात 1939 की होगी।
... by then I was getting a little work, doing some playing and getting paid for it, not very much, but enough for me to feel justified in buying a real instrument. I bought a Gretsch with a De-Armond pickup on it and a second-hand Gibson amplifier; it looked like the one Charlie Christian used. I guess it was the same, although there were several models coming out at that time - this would be in I939.

इसका परिणाम वही था जो गिटार के तारों को एक सेमीटोन नीचे ट्यून करने और पहले फ्रेट पर capo लगाने से होता था। तारों पर कम खिंचाव होने के कारण आवाज़ ज़्यादा सुरीली और नरम हो गई; इससे मुझे फिंगरबोर्ड पर ज़्यादा दूर तक हाथ पहुँचाने में भी मदद मिली। मैंने काफी सालों तक इसका इस्तेमाल किया, लेकिन आखिरकार मैं वापस मानक फिंगरबोर्ड पर लौट आया।
The result was the same as tuning down the strings by a semitone and using a capo at the first fret. With less tension in the strings, the sound was more mellow and softer; it also allowed me to cover a larger span of the fingerboard. I used this for quite a few years, but eventually I went back to the standard fingerboard.
