Who may have been an inspiration for Celebrimbor: 'silver hand', but yeah, Nuada is more likely :)

A reference to Irish mythology? (Nuada) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes indeed. Nearly 50 years later it still sounds modern to my ears.

Clearly it's a C-6/9add11 without the third. (add sarcasm)

I'm with NeverShould on this one. The piano is playing what definitely sound like F6/C and F#6/C# chords all through the head at the beginning. Yes,...

Peter - I see the video has 'Silver Hand' in the title - a reference to Rings Of Power by any chance?

Hi Rob, in my experience, with a similar use, the almost total absence of hiss is essential. I have two small amplifiers, a Fender Champion 20 and...

Don’t think anyone ever disagreed that he was playing the head up a fourth. Doesn’t make it F major. Next time you find a Cm in your F major scale,...

How so?

Yeah the wait is some kind mix of torture and pleasure :pride: You all know that feeling :smile-new:

This makes me wonder why Gibson never made a more "glitsy" version of the 330, like the 355. The closest thing was the Crest, which was a bit too...

Thanks very much! :-)

You are correct - it definitely vibes (whatever that means) F7. That's because he plays the head in F major - the answering chords to the head's...

Another tasty arrangement Jake!! Thanks for posting. Tony D.

Haha, thanks! :-)

Damn. I first read the title as "vocaL" ear candy. And I was going to say anything by Billie Holiday.

Bummer it got away. I wonder if it sounds as good as it looks? That is a gorgeous L5CES.

That is a beautiful Tal Farlow. If you are the caretaker, congratulations. What a beauty.

Yeah it’s very Cm6/9. but decidedly not accidentally the relative major of the original Dm My suspicion earlier was that nervershouldhavesoldit...

Grant’s version is a bit weird though, I can see where the confusion could come from. He is definitely playing the actual theme incorrectly for Cm,...

Yep modes kind of have different flavors within themselves too.

you are 100% right. The Slim Harpo was ltd edition and I’m not sure if m/any made their way to Europe. I think it’s very exciting and interesting...

Hey it’s none of your business what dresses I wear.

Innit funny the way Joe Henderson can play 6 on minor and not sound dominant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hear C Dorian on the Grant Green version. Kenny Drew is playing a chord that's something like x 6 7 7 6 x, which is the upper extensions of C...

Except that you couldn’t transcribe the dress and find out exactly what notes Grant Green was playing when he wore it. Or whatever the heck. Again...

They didn’t conceptualise key the way we do today. It’s kind of complicated and I don’t really understand all of it, but I gather that although...

Actually that is quite interesting.

Love it!

I do like the Grant version. He can do everything wrong and still be better at music than a thousand note perfect jazz school virtuosi in my book....

Thanks to everyone for response. I decided to go with BG version. Might though decide to buy FR II additionally

Sorry, I can not relate your question to what I wrote about my reasons

This just proves my point, you can only play it half speed with downstrokes! It's not an either/or answer. Look at Wes, his left hand moves all over...

I’m wondering if anyone here has tried a Vox MV50 mini amp with a Toob (see, e.g., Vox MV50 AC Head review | MusicRadar)? The MV50 is yet another...

I'm not sure exactly what chord the piano is playing in the Grant Green clip but playing around for 5 mins I found Eb6/9 or Cmadd11 (11 X 10 10 8 X)...

Bursts do not do it for me at all. I'm mad at bursts lol.

Although I love my mahogany guitars, the maple looks mighty good in foliage burst.

The above discussion reminds me of the ‘is the dress blue’ controversy a few years ago.

I thought the dvm 12 with its 12 speaker was better. Isn't the bigger speaker an advantage for jazz?

It's not that I don't like. It's more about mobility. I don't have a car and don't plan to have it in the near future. I like it's balanced...

Hi, could you explain to me what you don't like about the DV Mark Jazz 12?

No stock strat pickup settings are out of phase. Bridge/middle and middle/neck are in phase, they're just in parallel.

C dorian has two flats. i'm out. good luck, buddy.

I like that look better, it's closer to what the originals looked like but I wonder if flexing the metal fatigued it. I guess you'll find out....

Yes, they subtly make the chord "change type" during its sustained extension (to a simpler type)

Bruce lives in a rural setting in Central California and has been playing Western Swing for years. The Western attire is very normal for him.

So, playing down-strokes only didn't cramp my style much but it was harder because I had to concentrate on how I was picking, which is distracting. ...

Also my fave track from Strong Persuader. Robert Cray is an underrated rhythmic master!

You can have one for a moderate amount of currency.
