Is Db an avoid note in this context? lol. Every note can be played as a chromatic passing note. No need to discriminate. These days my favorite...

Good for you Jack ! Continued best wishes ! Dennis

Didn't Julian Lage gig with a Tweed Champ for a while?

Nice bike, nice axe. Now impress me by telling me you do your own valve adjustments on that puppy and I ain't talking about the Benedetto.

Jim Hall Live is an amazing album. So are the duo albums! You can’t go wrong, in my opinion!

One thing I know is change bis inevitable. I'm glad to hear the great news.

Tl;dr jazz musicians can’t spell. Get over it.

Who is Hutchins? Not Jim Hutchins of Gibson?

I didn’t do the TabEdit part, but his insight into the lessons helped me make sense of what I was doing.

Glad I found this thread! Here is my beloved Polytone Megabrute that I bought 20, or so, years ago, still love it loads! I no longer gig with it...

Glad to hear you're doing so well, Jack.

There are lots of ways to use a Dom7th with a #9.... and like I said earlier it's great chord and also collection of notes to melodically develop...

Thanks for this beautiful tune I didn’t know And Jim Hall play so modernly even with bends !!!!

I am in my sixth decade now. After playing solid for over 2/3rds of that time I am thoroughly convinced that I didn't pick to like and play jazz. ...

Sorry, I wasn't taking this thread seriously enough. :smile-new:

That’s true, and they’re slowly stepping back into that style. For me I think I’d rather modify something Japanese. Most of my vehicles have been...

Make me an offer!

Out of interest, what use do you make of this scale/sound?

yeah, would love an L5 of any type. I've got my eye on a kessel but not sure I want to spend $6k

I haven’t sorted out TabEdit yet, but the site looks very useful regardless. Great stuff.

The Lydian mode does have an imaginary 4th. #9, #4, b5, b9 etc is about imagining a Major scale and then how every other scale's interval relates...

thanks, and other than cut neck muscles and a 10lb lifting limit, really no pain.

Great news and a Amen ! :smile-new:

The question is - would I have referred to its inversion as a diminished seventh (common in bebop and Bach) instead of a m*n*r s*xth - and there alas...

If I named that interval I would have referred to it as an augmented second matey. I’m not a barbarian.

Okay you’ve inspired me to say something I really wanted to say earlier but didn’t. The Ab to B is technically an augmented second. If we’re...

This is a great point because when Mickey's first book came out (1955, IIRC) he could assume a student was born in the '30s or '40s (if not earlier)...

You can have #9 without a 9. Lydian mode doesn't have an imaginary 4th.

To say that a curriculum can't be created, is to say that something can't be taught. (But wait!, uh, it can be self-taught, or uh, learned on the...

This is exactly the kind of stuff I want to know, thank you. Baker doesn’t name the standards. But I realize the goal is to figure it all out as you...

8-note scales are not new. This is simply one of them. Dan Haerle calls them "synthetic scales". OTOH - who says that a scale has 7 notes in...

Yes, Baker's approach is good for that. Starting from Lesson 3, he writes out the 'old' chords of various standards with the 'new' chords written...

I think there is an imaginary 9 note in the scale, so if you imagine it's there, you can also add an #9 next to the imaginary note. It's just...

Harley Davidson made some very cool cafe racers in the past. Going fast with class are not mutuality exclusive. :smile-new:

Not rocket science :smile-new:

I'm not moving anything. On the contrary, I'm not budging an inch, as I said before. Maybe the chromatic scale has a #9 because it has 12 notes in...

I like it, very good, well done, it's the best name yet IMHO....

Yeah me too. I have a friend who says sometimes being excellent is different enough. Which I like.

I give up dude. You keep moving the goal post. I'll let someone else to take it from here.

I think it sounds like you’re saying you can’t teach someone to innovate, which is true. You can’t teach someone something that is truly original,...

I couldn’t imagine me ever wanting to own a Harley haha. Much rather a cafe racer. Which I guess makes sense with my amp choice. Less is often more ?

You haven't answered the question. Not what it is, but what is the point of calling it a #9? Chords have #9's, scales/modes don't.

Bebop Phrygian Dominant, I suppose. I mean, that's what all the other bebop scales are called - Major Bebop, Bebop Melodic Minor, Bebop Harmonic ...

so then… you are saying that music schools across the world could have, and should have, been able to teach their students how to navigate Giant...

The b9 of G phrygian dominant for example is Ab. The minor third interval is between Ab and B (or between b6 and 7th of C harmonic minor). I'm sure...

It's meaningless, but, what name would you use, if you ever used this collection of notes, but in a non-Barry-Harris method?

And which note is the b9 when there are only seven notes in the scale?

It's a melodic device. It fills the minor third interval between the b9 and the third.

Then what is the point? Enlighten me.

Yes, these vids are a helpful sampling of the lessons. My main question is how to apply the Baker approach to the vanilla versions of songs,...

Making notes fall on the right places is not the point of the #9. You are confusing everything.

I'm not budging an inch. The Phrygian Dominant mode is extracted from the Harmonic Minor scale. The idea of adding an extra passing note (to make the...

It's used quite a bit in bebop. So in a way it is part of established music. That doesn't mean the original musicians were calling it a scale. But...

I'm finding this thread very amusing, I can't help laughing.

You're confused, Guy, you keep putting likes on completely contradictory posts!

You can't say that a scale you have basically invented yourself has a bona fide name and is part of established music, etc.

No, no, it's as a normal Phrygian, but with an extra note. :doh: Simple example: E Phrygian is E F G A B C D E Phrygian with an extra G# is...

There are seven notes in Phrygian Dominant, which is the 5th mode of harmonic minor. Inserting the #9, as it's called, makes eight, it's not there...

There is a b9. "Sharp" is not a verb but an adjective. There is no "sharpening".

There are 8 notes in the scale. Phrygian Dominant add #9 or Harmonic minor add b7 or Aeolian add natural 7 etc.

Whyn I studied with Larry and asked about his use of artificial harmonics he replied "I'm going to show you what Lenny Brea showed me. They were...

I tried a Katana MkII about a month ago; I couldn't get a good sound out of it. Sounded like a can of angry bees.

I would think the Twin would definitely be more of what you want to hear: it is Fender's "clean machine".

A very cool-looking Tele!

Yes, a #9 is a chord extension or alteration, but it's been added to the name of a scale, or rather a mode. Scales/modes are not chords.

Because its an extension, which means its ‘above’ or in addition to the main notes of the chord (1-3-5-7).

I still want to know why it's called a #9 when there's only 7 notes in the scale!shreddin' Ok then, eight with the extra note...
