Look up some Joe Pass videos on YouTube. Listen to his chord voicings and watch his fingers. And be amazed. The man was a genius.

If you want. Duct tape fixes everything. I would use the sticky side of packing tape or masking tape. But Will, you do you.

I'm fortunate. Back in the early 80's when I was studying guitar at the local community college, Joe Pass played 2 shows in one night. Prior to that, he hosted a student seminar. I met him. I sat in on the seminar, and watched 2 solo shows that night. It's a night that I won't ever forget. Joe was such a nice guy who went through a lot in his life. He was incredibly blunt, honest, and inspirational.

I would use tape.

If I used analog effects, I would need a 3' x 4' pedal board. So I had to go digital. I bought a Boss GX-10 and it worked well. But it was confusing. On a whim, I bought a Soran Tiny Stomp from Amazon for $50. It has 125 effects and more amp modeling than I need. It also has a built-in looper and drum machine. It sounds really good. It's much easier to use. I can use an external expression pedal for wah or volume. I program in the set list, and just go down the list of songs. And the Bluetooth actually works with my cell phone so I can make changes on the fly. It's about the size of 2 packs of cigarettes and has a built-in rechargeable battery. It's worth buying one just to screw around with. The same unit is marketed under a few different brand names. I'm never going back to analog. And I sold the GX-10.

I think I used to own that one. Beautiful guitar.
