Electric Guitar Set up for Big Band Jazz

To get that authentic Freddie Green rhythm guitar sound, you need an acoustic archtop guitar. But what if you don't have one? Or what if you're a band director and your student only has an electric guitar? Master guitarist James Chirillo shows you how to approximate the acoustic archtop with an electric guitar so that you can still fulfill the rhythm guitar duties.
