6 Ways To Build Melodic Jazz Guitar Solos
In this week's reader question article, which was submitted through my Facebook Page, I am going to tackle the subject of how to build melodic jazz guitar solos from a motivic standpoint.
Though this question was raised this week on Facebook, it is one that I get on a regular basis from students that are trying to expand their playing and want to bring more motivic vocabulary into their solos, but just don't know where to start.
Below are six ways that I like to use when developing and expanding on a motive when improvising.
Check them out and see which ones sit well with your improvisational concept, then try and take each exercise to a tune or progression that you are working on in the practice room to see the real-life applications of these concepts.
Have a question or comment about this lesson? Visit the Melodic Jazz Guitar Solos thread at the MWG Forum.
Melodic Jazz Guitar Solos – Altering the Fingering
The first way I would explore any motive on the guitar is to learn it across the fretboard, in as many positions as I could find.
One of the ways I like to do this is to start the motive on as many strings as possible. You can see this approach in the example below.
Melodic Jazz Guitar Solos – Rhythmic Transposition
As many of you know, I am a staunch supporter of applying rhythmic variation to all practice room items.
So, it is not surprising that I would recommend taking any motive and transposing it around the bar, so that it starts on each possible 8th note and not just the first beat of the measure.
You can see this technique in the example below where I start the motive on beat one, then in the next occurrence on the & of beat one, then beat two and so forth.
Melodic Jazz Guitar Solos – Retrograde Variation
The next technique that I like to use is to play the motive backwards, which is called retrograde in the musical world.
Doing so allows you to "hide" your motive a bit as you use the same idea twice, but by playing it backwards you are not directly repeating yourself in each phrase.
This is a little tough to do at first, but it is a great way to expand your jazz guitar soloing ability while sticking to a single motive as the basis for your lines.
Here is how that would look with the motive we are exploring in this article.
Melodic Jazz Guitar Solos – Chaining Technique
You can also connect two versions, either exact or altered, of your motives to create an idea that is twice as long, but that is based on a single idea.
In the example below, I have used a tie, since the first and last note of the motive are the same, in order to connect the forward and backwards versions of the idea within the span of a full bar.
This is a great way to develop longer motives that are based on connecting the same motive to itself, rather than bringing in new melodic material to the equation.
Melodic Jazz Guitar Solos – Altered Rhythm
Besides moving the motive around the bar in a rhythmic fashion, you can alter the length of each note in the phrase to expand it in your soloing.
There are no real rules for this technique beyond saying that you can stretch or contract the rhythms used in the motive however you wish, just sticking to the same order of notes to keep things connected.
In the example below I have written out some ways that I would vary the motive in this fashion, but the sky is the limit with how far you can take this idea in an improvisational setting.
Melodic Jazz Guitar Solos – Scale Patterns
Motives often make for great scale and arpeggio patterns, and so one way to expand them in your playing is to run them up and/or down the scale or chord that you are currently soloing over.
In the example below you can see how I took the motive and applied it to each note in a Dm7 arpeggio.
Try taking this idea to common chord progressions such as ii-V-I's, the Blues and other standards in the practice room.
Learning to create and develop a motive is a vital part of any successful guitarist's improvisational pallet.
By making time for motivic study in your practice routine, and learning how to expand and develop them in your solos, you will be able to take your improvising to new levels of excitement and audience engagement in no time.
Do you have a favorite way to build melodic jazz guitar solos? If so, please share it in the comments section below.

Thanks a lot Matt !!!
Great ideas !! Very useful !!
No problem, glad you liked the article. Abs
Surely this should be "motifs" not motives-otherwise a good lesson.P
Thanks Peter, in music we use the term motive, not motif, it's not what you'd expect but it's the tradition.
Awesome. Love the 'chaining technique' and altering the rhythmic duration. Am I wrong or is this all very Jim Hallish? Thanks for sharing!
Steve, for sure, Jim uses this approach all the time. He is a master at taking a short idea and stretching it out for a long period during his solos. It's amazing what a guy like Jim can do with one idea!
Great post Matt! This totally connects with a chapter I was reading in Jim Hall's book Exploring Jazz Guitar where he was explaining about how the melody in Waltz New relates together. Thank you!
Thanks Az, glad you dug the lesson. Yeah Jim is great for developing motives in this style, very melodic player!
Great article, very clear and well written. Thanks a heap!
No problem, thanks for checking it out Art!
Thanks Amelia, glad you dug the article and it was helpful! I don't mind missing some of Oz this time, just means I have to come back again! :)
Thanks Matt for all those ideas. I now understand what you mean about applying a motif to a scale or arp. I like your example where all your strong beats are in fact the D min 7 arp.
Hope you have an awesome time in oz and NZ. It's a real pity you don't have time for Queenstown where the beautiful lakes and mountains are, and the fjord faces for bungee jumping hehe.

1. What is the BLS degree program?
A: Originally designed for the adult student who has earned college credits at one or more postsecondary institutions and desiring to complete a liberal arts and sciences degree program, the Bachelor of Liberal Studies program is a degree-completion program at academically rigorous University of Mary Washington.
2. How do I know that I want the BLS program rather than the BA or BS degree programs?
A: The BLS degree program is more flexible in the acceptance of credits for prior college-level learning including experiential learning through documentation of life/work portfolio, credit-by-exam, CLEP, and military (ACE) credits.
Unlike the BA/BS program, the BLS program requires fewer general education requirements and does not require specific courses to satisfy General Education areas.
3. How many transfer credits may be accepted toward the BLS degree?
A: 90. A minimum of 30 resident credits at University of Mary Washington is required. Students must have a t least 15 resident (UMW) credits in their major.
4. What is the maximum number of military credits accepted?
A: 30 ACE credits
5. How are credits awarded for other experiential learning?
A: Students who wish to document college-level learning through life/work experiences may submit a portfolio for evaluation. Prior to submission of the portfolio, the student must complete the one-credit, pass/fail class BLST 101 Portfolio.
6. How many credits are awarded for a portfolio submitted?
A: The usual range is 0 to 15 credits. In exceptional cases, with BLS Committee review and approval, 16- 30 credits may be awarded.
7. Although I am eager to return to college and complete a liberal arts and sciences degree program in my chosen field of study, I am concerned about my ability to succeed. What do you advise?
A: You might want to consider taking the optional, one-credit, pass/fail orientation class for BLS students, BLST 100 Orientation, and meet other new BLS students and learn general information about college resources and study strategies. In addition, the Office of Academic Services offers several study skills workshops each semester.
8. After admission into the BLS degree program, is it possible to take a course at another postsecondary institution and receive additional transfer credit toward the BLS degree?
A: Yes; additional transfer credits may be accepted if less than 90 transfer credits have been accepted toward the BLS degree and if you have received prior approval of the courses to be taken.
9. How much notice is required for prior approval of transfer credits?
A: The Registrar's Office requires two-weeks notice prior to course registration to ensure that the student is taking a course that duplicates a course taken previously at another institution and that the student is taking a course that is compatible with the liberal arts and sciences degree program.
10. When is the earliest that I may register for each academic session?
A: Advance registration appointments dates and times are determined by credits earned toward the degree and are posted on the Registrar's website during March and October. Only currently enrolled BLS students and students on approved leave of absence are eligible for advance registration.
11. Is there an advantage in taking courses offered during the summer sessions?
A: As long as the necessary prerequisite courses have been completed, all students are eligible to register for summer classes starting in March before the summer sessions.

A: A UMW cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a major GPA of 2.0.
13. If I receive a C- or lower on a UMW course, what is the best way to improve my grade point average?
Repeat the course. Although the first attempt will not be deleted from your transcript, only the grade in the repeated course determines the grade-point average and amount of credits earned for the course.
14. Is there a limit on the number of nongraded physical education credits allowed?
A: The limit is 6 credits.
15. May I take classes on a pass/fail basis?
A: Yes, with restrictions. You may take no more than 20% of UMW classes in the elective area on a pass/fail basis. Classes meeting general education and major requirements must be taken for graded credit.
16. Is there a limit on the number of repeat courses allowed?
A: Yes; the limit is 2 in a semester
17. Is the BLS degree program approved for veterans' benefits?
A: Yes; The BLS degree program is fully approved for veterans' benefits.
Prospective BLS students who have questions about veterans' benefits prior to admission to UMW should contact the Veterans Inquiry Unit at 1-888-442-4551, a toll-free number, or consult the V.A. website.
Students admitted to the BLS degree program should address inquiries and requests for veterans' benefits to Patricia Sarkuti, Transfer Credit Coordinator, Office of the Registrar, Lee Hall 252, phone: 654-2140, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Various required V.A. forms are available.

What will the Washington Capitals Look Like in 2014-2015?
The Washington Capitals had an off year in 2013-2014. They missed the postseason for the first time since the 2006-2007 season. While they were only three points out of the hunt, they should have probably made the playoffs for a seventh straight season.
Everyone suspected that there would be some major changes in Washington once their season concluded. Capitals assistant GM Brian MacLellan replaced longtime GM George McPhee and former Nashville head coach Barry Trotz replaced Adam Oates as the Capitals head coach.
A new regime is in place and some new life has been injected into the Washington Capitals front office. But how will this impact the roster? What changes will come to the Capitals roster for the upcoming season?
Projected Forward Lineup
Marcus Johansson – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Brooks Laich – XXXXXX – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
Evgeny Kuznetsov – Jay Beagle – Tom Wilson
Extra: Aaron Volpatti
UFA: Mikhail Grabovski, Dustin Penner
There is expectation that UFA Mikhail Grabovski will return to the Capitals next season and return as the team's second line centre. Dustin Penner is not expected to return to the Capitals as he was not used properly in the lineup when he was acquired at the last Trade Deadline.
The Capitals are not a bad team at forward on paper. While they struggled at times to score five-on-five last season, this group is full of NHL experience and has a good mix of youth and veteran players. The third line was the biggest surprise in the second half of the 2013-2014 season. Joel Ward was a big reason for this as he set career highs in goals (24) and points (49).
Young studs Evgeny Kuznetsov and Tom Wilson were not given much of a chance to flourish under Adam Oates and were given limited minutes. The potential is there for both of the Capitals young studs and they should both see some time in the top six mix next season.
There are some names in the rumor mill that could interest the Capitals via trade or free agency. Some of these names include: Paul Stastny, Mike Richards, Brad Richards, Joe Thornton, Ryan Kesler, and Marian Gaborik. If things go south with Mikhail Grabovski, would the Capitals sign or trade for one of these big names? The Capitals biggest holes at forward are on the second line. With Grabovski negotiations and Brooks Laich's health still in limbo, some adjustments need to be made to the Capitals second line.
Projected Defensemen Lineup
Karl Alzner – John Carlson
Dmitry Orlov – Mike Green
Jack Hillen – John Erskine
Extra: Connor Carrick
The defensive core is the area that desperately needs to be addressed during the summer. After Alzner, Carlson, and Green, it has become a crap shoot on who can play top minutes for the Capitals blueline. While Orlov has shown flashes of good play, he is not anywhere close to his full development and may miss the start of the Capitals season because of a broken wrist. Hillen and Erskine have proven to be good depth defensemen, but have limited upside when playing top minutes. Connor Carrick should have never made the Capitals roster in 2013-2014 and could have used some more junior league development.
The blueline has haunted the Capitals for several years now because they have not been able to get a guy in there who can consistently give them good defensive zone play. In order for the Capitals to get back into contention, they need to acquire at least one more defenseman who can skate well, play top minutes, and be a star in the defensive zone. This would help the depth defensemen stay near the bottom of the lineup and play fewer minutes. It would also benefit Mike Green, who has needed a defensive partner that he can trust for a while.
There are some names that could intrigue the Capitals during the summer. With names like Alex Edler, Jason Garrison, Johnny Boychuk, Anton Stralman, and Brooks Orpik on the market via trade or free agency, the Capitals could fill some holes on the blueline. The best option for the Capitals is probably to go the trade route since there is more options available that will cater to their needs.
Projected Goaltender Lineup
Braden Holtby
Philipp Grubauer
The Capitals goaltending position has some interesting questions heading into the upcoming season. Braden Holtby struggled under Adam Oates and goalie coach Olaf Kolzig in 2013-2014. With a new goalie coach in Mitch Korn who has plenty of experience with goaltenders, this should benefit Braden's development. Capitals fans can only hope that Braden returns to the level he played at during the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Will the Capitals go out and get a veteran to mentor Holtby, or will they stick in-house and promote Philipp Grubauer? There are some interesting names in the free agent goalie market this summer. These names include Ryan Miller, Jonas Hiller, Tomas Vokoun, Martin Brodeur, and Tim Thomas.
The Capitals can go either way with this position, but bringing in a veteran backup is probably the best option for the club. While Braden Holtby is "the future" of the Capitals, he still has some mechanical work to do in his game. The Capitals squandered around ten points in the standings because of poor goaltending in 2013-2014. Ten points is a friendly estimate, but if you think about it, it adds up very quickly and can determinate a playoff fate.
The Plan Ahead
The Capitals are in desperate need of some defensive help. If they have to make a trade that sacrifices some high to mid round picks to get a steady defenseman who can help now, they need to make the move. There is no way they can have long term success with the patchwork blueline they have in place. Good defensive play is required to do well in today's NHL. Defense is at a premium price, but it is the price the Capitals will have to pay to get better for the long term.
The second goaltending spot is the next biggest hole to fill. Signing a guy like Ryan Miller or Jonas Hiller would not hurt the Capitals at all because they can take some of the load off of Braden Holtby, while keeping Holtby's compete level up. Braden still has some learning to do, and a good veteran behind him can help him learn the ropes of the position some more.
While the second line is not the biggest concern of the Capitals lineup, it could still use some tweaks. It would not hurt the Capitals if they could somehow acquire another shooter for the top six, or if Grabovski departs, another second line centre. If Grabovski re-signs, the centre hole for the second line is filled. Brooks Laich and Troy Brouwer could garner some attention via the trade route and could help bring in some defensive help if the Capitals wanted to go that route.
With 20 players signed and just under $15M in cap space available for the summer, the Capitals have plenty of options to make tweaks to their lineup accordingly. If they just fix the backend and goaltending situation first, there is no reason why they cannot re-enter the postseason race next season.
Thanks for tuning in!

Very good goggles

About Me Advanced
Goggles are goggles. I use them to keep sun, wind, and water/ice/snow out of my eyes. These do exactly that. The only reason I would ever pay more than $50-60 is for better anti-fog protection.These goggles don't fog up any more than my old $40 pair of Anon goggles. I'm not sure if I went 1 size too small, but I went with medium and the form factor is almost just right. Maybe a little small on the fit. Field of View is not as good as my previous goggles, but this could be due to the smaller pair. Overall they feel pretty good. Next time, I plan to wear and fit my goggles in person before purchasing. I know I could probably return them, but these will do for now.Side note: I was hoping to have a more reflective surface (i.e.: mirrored), unfortunately these are 'see-through' depending on ambient or direct light.

Also these goggles are not only useful for tuff terain , theyre also very stylish. which in other words means if youre lookin good youre feeling good. I HAVE NOTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THE GOGGLES :)

Omaha, Neb. -- Two late turnovers that were both turned into touchdowns helped seal a win for Nebraska-Omaha as the Mavericks defeated Missouri Southern 42-10 tonight at Canligia Field in Omaha.
The Lions (2-2, 0-2 MIAA) lost their third-straight game to UNO (1-3, 1-1 MIAA) as the Mavs avoided going 0-4 for the first time since 1994, coach Pat Behrns first season as head coach at UNO.
Cornell Gedward and Steven Sumpter rushed for 40 and 39 yards, respectively, but the Lions' lone score came from Anthon Aiono as the senior scored on a one-yard run late in the fourth quarter. Collin Howard was 13-24 and threw for 106 yards, but threw two interceptions. Roland Thompson came in late in the fourth quarter and 7-9 for 77 yards. Ne'Ronte Threatt had 8 catches for 90 yards, while Landon Zerkel caught five passes for 51 yards.
John Michael Bryant led the Lions with seven tackles, four solo. Justin Cowper had six stops, while four others gathered four tackles each. Brandon Williams and Maurice Pearl each had a sack for a loss of nine yards, while Skyler Vandiver picked off a pass and Josh Woodard had a fumble recovery.
The Mavs scored first on a one-yard touchdown run from James Franklin III just five minutes into the game. The Lions answered back with a 22-yard field goal from Dallas Herndon. Franklin added another score in the second and the Mavs would go up 21-3 right before the half after John Tiegland hit Austin Wells on a 34-yard touchdown pass and catch with 28 seconds left in the half.
Neither team scored in the third quarter, but an interception return for a touchdown and a fumble return for a score on successive possessions in the fourth put the game away for the Mavs and gave UNO a 35-3 lead with ten minutes left in the fourth.
A touchdown from Aiono cut the lead to 35-10 with six minutes to go and the Mavericks added another score with three minutes to go for the final tally.
The Lions out-gained the Mavericks 312-308, but three turnovers and 3-14 on third down conversions, as well as UNO going 3-3 in the red zone sealed Southern's fate.
The Lions will be back in action next week when Southern travels across the border to take on Pittsburg State in the Sonic Miners Bowl. Kickoff is slated for 2 pm from Carnie Smith Stadium.

MINI Video Input
As many of you who follow Motoringfile closely already know, I happen to have an OEM backup camera installed in my MINI (see: MINI Rear Camera Review). The rear-view camera produces such a nice image on the navigation display that it started me thinking about if it would be possible to use the backup camera as a video input for other video sources. It would be really cool to be able to play DVD movies (and possibly even play PS2 games) on the built-in navigation screen in my MINI. Well, after exploring the wiring diagram for the backup camera installation kit, it appears that there are indeed a couple of video inputs that can easily be tapped into (see: MINI Rear Camera Retrofit Kit Installation Instructions).
The backup camera installation kit is comprised of the rear-view camera, a small control module, a video switchbox, and the wiring harnesses used to hook it all up. The installation kit is broken up into two components; The rear-view camera parts kit ( P/N: 66 21 0 392 370 – comprised of the rear-view camera, control module, and wiring harness for the camera) and the additional switchbox parts kit (P/N: 66 21 0 303 085 – comprised of the video switchbox and the wiring harness used for hooking the switchbox up to the navigation computer). As luck would have it, it turns out that the video switchbox has two sets of video inputs that can indeed be used to create an external video input feed for your MINI.
One set of the video inputs on the switchbox is used for the rear-view camera and the other set is used for a front-view camera. The really cool part is that if you don't have/want the rear-view camera, you can purchase just the video switchbox kit for around $200 and use it to hookup a switched video input feed in your MINI. The only down-fall to doing it this way is that, for technical reasons, you'll be forced to use the front-view camera's video input feed and it automatically switches off the video signal once the car is moving faster than 10 KPH (this is a typical safety feature that BMW uses to prevent you from watching the video while driving your car). If however, you happen to have the complete rear-view camera kit, then you can hook into the rear-view camera's video feed and get video-in-motion. Since the rear-view camera is designed to work while the car is in motion, it doesn't automatically force the video feed to turn off at above 10 KPH.
Of course the details on hooking up the video input are a bit beyond the scope of this article. However, if you're interested, I'd be more than happy to share my findings with you and tell you exactly what to do in order to hook is all up. Either send me an e-mail, or better yet, post a comment here and I'll do my best to try and explain it all for you. Suffice it to say that it's quite easy to hook up if you have basic wiring skills.
As you can see from the following photos, the result is quite spectacular. I was able to setup the video input in my MINI and hook up one of the new thin-line PS2 game consoles to it. The new thin PS2 is absolutely amazing! It's super small size allows you to hide the entire unit within the MINI's glove box. With the simple flick of a switch (also hidden within the glove box) I can now watch DVD movies and play PS2 games right from my MINI's built-in navigation display:
In order to provide sound for your video input, you'll also need to have an audio input as well. This is easily done by simply installing one of the $40 OEM MINI AUX cables (P/N: 82 11 0 153 367) and then hooking up your audio source to it (e.g. the audio output from the PS2 console in my case). Once installed, your factory MINI radio will have a new "AUX" mode (accessed via the "MODE" button on the radio) and this is the mode that will be used to play the audio for your video input. In the following photo, you can see the OEM AUX input jack that I installed in the upper right-hand corner of the glove box (you can also see the small switch in the left-hand corner that switches the navigation computer display over to showing the video input signal):
Lastly, if you're going to use a PS2 console, as I did, then you'll also need a power inverter in order to convert the DC voltage in your MINI over to the AC voltage that's required by the game console. These units are available for around $40-$60 in most electronic shops (such as Radio Shack, eBay, etc.). Just make sure that you get one that supplies enough continuous wattage to run whatever you're going to be plugging into it (I believe that the PS2 console requires a minimum of 79 watts). I ended up getting a DC Power Supply Accessory Kit from Radio Shack (P/N: 22-540) for $6.99 and tying it into the 12 volt switched accessory jack located in the boot of my MINI. I then plugged a power inverter into the adapter kit's 12 volt power supply socket and using it to power the PS2 game console:

The padKONTROL from Korg is a USB/MIDI studio controller that features 16 illuminated drum trigger pads and the company's KAOSS technology based X-Y pad. In addition to accessing drum sounds and samples, the controller can also control virtual synthesizers and effects, trigger loops and video clips, and even act as transport controls for DAW software programs.
The controller is ideal for creating natural, organic sounding drum beats. Each of the 16 pads can be individually assigned a note number and MIDI channel allowing you to control a single drum kit, or map it to control different devices in your setup at the same time. Eight different dynamic curves are available for each pad, or you can set each pad to its own fixed level.
The X-Y pad adds real-time control of both flam and roll timing and dynamics. Moving a finger from left to right increases the speed of the roll, or the distance between the notes, while moving up the pad surface increases the volume of the roll, or the volume of the second note in the flam. With the addition of an optional footswitch you can add real kick drum parts, or close an open hi-hat.
- USB/MIDI controller combining an assignable X-Y touchpad that provides for natural sounding flams and rolls, 16 illuminated trigger pads, assignable knobs and a foot-pedal input
- 8 dynamic curves are available for each pad, or each pad can be set to its own fixed level
- Multiple pads can be set to play the same drum but at different fixed velocities, providing varied but predictable performance every time
- A MIDI message can be assigned to each pad, and set for momentary or toggle operation. In addition to sending a value as the drum pad is touched, a specific value can be sent as the pad is released, allowing the pad to be used like a button or switch for controlling any function of a virtual synthesizer or DAW
- X-Y pad adds real-time control of both flam and roll timing and dynamics
- The X-Y pad can also be assigned to control any 2 continuous controllers in real-time
- 2 assignable knobs provide continuous control of any other 2 MIDI parameters
- Whenever a drum pad is struck or a controller moved, the built-in display shows what message or value is being sent, delivering accurate confirmation of what is being performed
- Once all the controllers are set to the user's liking, the entire setup can be saved in any one of the 16 "User Scenes"
- In addition, 30 preset scenes are included, designed to instantly match the controller to some of the most popular music software programs
- Editor/Librarian software for Windows XP and Mac OS X is included

You know, I balked a bit when my Mom bought me one for Christmas. I reacted the similarly when I was given a hand mixer for my wedding. But, I was wrong. I admit it.
I use my stick blender a lot. I have the Cuisinart Smart stick blender. I threw the whisk attachment away after first use. (Not pictured on Amazon.) But, I use the food processor for mixing dips, chopping cilantro, etc. I use the stick blender for mixing lots of thing. It is quick to get out and clean up. It beats getting the blender out for everything.
I admit it, I was wrong. http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CSB-77-Blender-Chopper-Attachments/dp/B0006G3JRO

(USA Today) - Kelly Osbourne has been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital after suffering a seizure while on the set of her E! show, Fashion Police, reports ET Online.
The TV personality's seizure lasted for 30 seconds and caused Osbourne to fall to the floor, according to the report. The incident reportedly happened in front of the E! show's live studio audience.
Just before the seizure, Kelly turned to Melissa Rivers, who was filling in for Giuliana Rancic, and said, "I don't feel good," before she fell out of the chair and started shaking, reports TMZ. Rivers and an EMT responder who was in the audience rushed to help the TV personality, who came to a few moments later and was then taken to the hospital.
No word from her rep yet on her condition.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Ian Good glove for the price Good quality glove for the price. Haven't used it in game play yet but it is partially broken in and seems to be well made. We'll see how it goes but so far I'm pleased with the purchase. April 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jessie Very Pleased I havent played softball since highschool (13 yrs ago) and I bought this glove to play in a rec league with my work. It was well broken in when I bought it and I had a very easy time catching with it immediately after purchasing. For being one of the more inexpensive gloves offered, I was extremely satisfied. August 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by jordan great glove I bought this glove for co-ed softball because it was time for a new one. There is a lot of padding in the glove. I usually play in the outfield but during our practices we have, I will move into the infield and I have not had any problems with the glove. Its not too stiff when first purchased, at least mine wasnt from the store so I just had to oil the glove once and then put a ball in the pocket and rubberbands around it. It can be broken in a bit more but I still find it to be a great glove. July 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Grumpity Hot off the shelf I have used baseball gloves all my life, and this is the first one that I could use without lathering it with oil or saddle soap, and tying it up for a week to shape it properly. I used it to play baseball with my sons and grandson, and I loved it. May 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Tom Very nice... It is a good glove. I use it to play catch with my 10 year old son. May 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ryan Great buy Bought for casual game or just playing catch, the glove fit nicely for an adult male(myself) and seams to be made rather nicely. Fit is comfortable May 7, 2012

In the aftermath of the Second World War, many memorials were made to honour those who gave their lives for their country. For those still alive but perhaps having suffered terrible injuries, commemoration of their sacrifice took many different forms. One of the most necessary and practical form of help was the provision of housing and all three Services and within the Army, specific Regiments provided funds for housing specifically to help their fellow Servicemen. Some of Haig Homes houses were built with this money and ex-members of the particular Service or Regiment will have priority over an ex-Service person from a different Service or Regiment for housing in these particular properties if practical. Over the years further properties, originally owned and managed by Regiments have come under the mantle of Haig Homes.

One or two are for men only or women only and some have other restrictions.
