Hi, new forum user and new player here. My friend (who plays alto sax) and I are wanting to play Shorter's Black Nile at an upcoming jam session, and we both want to play the melody. However, we were curious about who should play what part on the tune's B section. Should I play the harmony part while my friend plays the main line on sax or vice versa? What's typical? Attached a picture of the relevant section in the sheet music. Thank you.
(Also, obligatory "sorry if this is in the wrong section")
Generally (no hard and fast rule) the sax would take the top line. Thats just because sax will blow guitar out of the water in terms of projection and the top line is usually the melody.
Listen to Miles and Milt Jackson on Bags Groove. Miles plays the melody the first time, while Milt plays the lower line. Then they switch. But whatever miles is playing sounds like the melody because of how much better the instrument cuts through.
Ok ok, loose lips etc.. Heritage QC has gone though phases of being notoriously bad! Those days may be behind us :)
They are capable of producing stunning guitars and those who enjoy them...
I think that's a bloody fair post.
In truth, I too am not over the moon about the neck on the GBJSA; it's too big for me. I much prefer the neck on the Heritage JS, it's actually very similar to...
I think you're looking at this the wrong way Jack. A Katana 50, especially used, sells for so little and takes so little space that it shouldn't really matter if it's missing some features that...
I find that Quilter amps can be overly bright to be sure, but in a real world gigging situation, I don't seem to hear the brightness (while in my living room, I sure do) and they do seem to "cut"...
Anybody who sees the delta knows its major 7 … what they actually play is another story. People certainly write the “triangle 7” on the chart, but it’s editorial and not necessary
Triangle 7 indicates the seven is sounded as natural seven rather than sounded as flat seven, overriding the default convention of the mislabeled seven with regard to corresponding sounded pitch...
hey everybody it's big Mike I wanted to say hi to all you guys I hear a number of you or snap it up some of the instruments I had and I'm really glad
I'm hanging in there
I hope you guys are doing...
This is a terrific video. Thanks for posting.
Nelson Faria is also the author of Brazilian Guitar Styles, which I rate as the best single book on guitar. You can learn to play authentic Brazilian...
