Can’t play the right chord scales and the rhythm section speeds up? Bloody rubbish! Who are these amateurs?

Congratulations!!!

wayne's night dreamer speeds up considerably.

Love this story, I remember the feeling of second-hand joy reading it when FJ published the article. It also reminds me of the Peter Frampton's...

Except when they are both in 5 of course #jazznerdsinternational

ROFL yes they do. You know what they say though; better to speed up than slow down.

Thanks and, yes, I totally agree. It’s all there in the work of your favourite musicians.

Eh, kind of what I’ve been working on for a couple of years. It’s a good approach for decluttering.

Funny, that, and handy in the garden, but not actually the case. This is the case:

There seems to be a slight flabbiness to it...can't quite put my finger on it.

Yep turns out to be a typo, referenced to my older copy of MMFG. Thanks

Where are you located, Wildcat?

Congratulations on your journey. So, now that you’ve begun, what do you think of these knuckleheads who’ve been at it for decades?:)

Should probably just do some more transcribing.....but I'd like to check out/shed those small phrases.....

Take a look at Figure 2. It's not that it's a completely new concept, but it does boil things down to a digestible formula based on simple triads. ...

Thanks! I copied your correction into the OP too.

Wow, congrats!

I think you're a very accomplished musician, revisiting the Django stuff is nice to delve into different harmonic territory and open up new ideas. I...

more patience, less patients! nice cheers

To me it's <10min adjustment time to switch between. The thing gives me most trouble is the fanned frets, especially on the higher positions....

Nice thread. I got a new GB10 in fall 2019. I always wanted one since my early 20s but never got around to buy one. I had an Artcore AG75 (the poor...

Is that the one that was solid mahogany, that is, without the maple cap? How did it sound compare with other LPCs?

:welcome:

That's a beauty! Enjoy it in good health! :encouragement:

It's true, but maybe it's some kind of motivation to work on yourself. Nice take over ND. Best kris

Some of the Aebersolds speed up quite a bit as they go, but maybe that’s good practice for real-world situations!

About Aebersolds playalongs-sometimes I cut piano and play with bass and drums. It is very easy because of stereo separation. why? If you practise...

Sorry for all the ' Kodak Brownie ' photo mistakes, but you get the idea ! : )

I didn't read it yet but: So-called "chord tone soloing" is a widely used beginning improv technique. That is - improvise melodies using...

I am happy that LS start to love music of W.Shorter. Best Kris

That's true. I have met him, since he lives just 60 miles from my home. He performed once here in Lexington, Ky. and I went to hear him and spoke to...

You just made my day! Thank you. And you have given me the melody, which I want to learn now.

haha I love robo-jazz backing from BB/real tracks/ though I have almost all Aebersolds playalongs. BB is a fantastic tool-you can organize jazz...

Right, thanks! Wayne chord progressions are like cryptic puzzles with the clues given by the melody. But Wayne so frequently paraphrases the...

that makes sense, some Aebersolds are definitely better than others. I’d still take them over robo-jazz backing any day

I think if you do learn it, you'll like the tune even more. I think its very memorable. And as Graham pointed out, melody is absolutely key in...

Its good practice to play with a piano player who feels compelled to play ALL THE NOTES. Plenty of those at jams. TBF it’s hard to accompany a...

True! I knew I’d missed something obvious. It’s also a common turnaround. Gershwin uses it in Bess You are my Woman Now IIRC

I don't know who made it, but it's one of the only ones that sounds ok on YouTube. I took my solo over what would be the melody, because yeah,...

Yeah that’s what I mean by Chaconne. But it’s the same thing as the Andalusian cadence to use a fancy name. Or the descending tetrachord often seen...

Well there you go Note that Wayne has Bb on the G chord in the melody as well. So that’s how he heard it. And then there’s the solo. but I’m...

Wayne uses the pentatonic, so *shrug* I don’t see why you have to learn Giant Steps first. Learn ND first, and then complete the giant steps cycle...

Triads are one type of cells. There are many others. I think practicing improvisation by transcribing short (mostly no longer than 2 beats) phrases...

Sounds great! And proof you can make this work with a "traditional" jazz tone-- as long as your feel is right (and yours definitely is)

Seeing all this controversy, I thought I'd better have a go! I just simplify this tune to 4 chords: G(m), Ab7, Bm, Cm. Actually the hardest bit...

I wonder how many Jazzers begin with only the melody and allow the changes to develop naturally based on THEIR EARS? Try this approach sometime. ...

Now you have me questioning my Google search technique. The word "amp" and "Martijn Van Iterson" did not show up in any of the search results....

You can sometimes use the line out of a tube amp without a speaker load if the output tubes aren't driving any signal into the power transformer....

Folks, this is a very nice amp at a very nice price. I paid more $ for mine, also used.

So ... you can play My Romance and Blue Room with one of those Bob Dylan harmonica setups.

I agree with you so far. But this is a general philosophical point about theorizing art. Of course you can play chord tones doubled (or not...

I'm glad that you changed your mind, Lawson and gave that tune a try. Turned out to be a fine one to boot!

Well said!
