I'm finding the same thing to be true. I find a guitar with so many specs I love and then I ask for neck specs (or look them up) only to see tons of...
Last night I wrote out a very diatonic AABA progression in C and noodled over it a few times without really thinking, just as it came out. Fact is, I...
LaBella Jazz Flats on all my electrics. Man, I love a good flat wound string and will never go back to roundwounds. Better, more even sounding chords...
Yeah, I had to play the actual song that one of the two big bands I play with plays, because it opens with a soli that you've got to play along with...
I have a few guitars but generally play only one of them - a 355 - at jazz gigs. However, when a particularly intimate restaurant gig came up with a...
Never played in that tuning, but i know it is same pitches as standard, with just different octaves. So you get different sounds with the same grips....
Thank you! I think that's fair, the chordless trio setting and Rogers' very chromatic stretching of the harmony makes his version somewhat abstract....
All good points. Let me start with Bm7b5. It is locrian with respect to Cmaj and therefore takes a b9 (the C note). But, it is also commonly seen as...
Not a fan of Bart Ehrman's historical writing. He is a specialist in manuscripts and scribal practices, but not actually trained as a historian. But...
For me, you really have to work out the deal with subtleties of handling many different scale tones. It's not just the 4th scale degree over a major...
Recording, mixing and mastering from home is just TOO MUCH FUN!!!
For reasonable cash output you can learn lots from sites like “Home Recording Made...
So, lets take a case where it's all white keys. You can argue that the F belongs there (for C tonic-y) for connectivity. Sure, it's useful that way....
Can’t argue with an inspiring tone no matter where it comes from.
This one was pieced together from Warmoth parts. Sometimes it just comes together!...
Both my brothers (one older, one younger) did too. I heard a LOT of Genesis in the early-to-mid-70s: Trespass, Live, Foxtrot, Nursery Chryme, SEBTP,...
Heritage guitars are all I believe sleepers in general for the long run. Buying a Heritage, you get a genuine American made guitar that still is the...
Joe Pass says Yes! - to learning/playing things slowly and then getting them up to speed - heard this directly from him at a workshop I attended (one...
Recently I have heard about Moises; haven't tried it yet. The free version limits the amount of tracks you can generate. The paid version allows you...
I wake up early to practice and my morning practice setup is a solid body and an amp barely loud enough to be heard in combination with the acoustic...
