It's a very simple song, you know, and 'improving' it by making it hideously complicated like that pdf version may not improve it at all. Ella's version starts in G: GM7 - % - B7 - % E7 - %...
This isn’t a dilemma. We went over this about a dozen times, as did Bernstein in the video you posted claiming he was confused about it. He didn’t say “better” … he said “nice.”
It strikes me that here too a simple "Jealous much?" would be a perfect way to shrug off most remarks. I have been on the receiving end of bullying in esp. my first year in 2ndary school,...
You don't really need to copy that version precisely. If the singer wants to strut her stuff, okay, but all you need to do is move up a half-step and repeat with the ending. No one will know or care,...
My point was that diminisheds and dominants aren't the same chords. I'm not saying one can't be subbed for the other if it suits. As a matter of fact, I find dims a bit irritating too. I'm quite...
Agreed on Jack's style and 335 tone. I'm subscribed to his Patreon lessons, and he has a pair of Truefire lessons, some of the best teaching I know and yes, what a touch he has with this Gibson....
I think you can view diminished chords both ways. They are a very useful way to get lots of dominants in a chord solo (Wes Montgomery used them like that all the time), especially as their...
It seems a decent name to me because it also sort of went out of fashion with the bop era. You often see it subbed for D-7 | Db-7 | C-7 | F7 Sometimes there even change the melody. The Parker...

I’ve had a custom shop ‘58 VOS reissue 335 which I really wanted to love… but couldn’t. It played like a dream, amazing neck and fretwork. It looked like it was new-old-stock, made in ‘58 and then...
I have played a number of the current 'figured' models (I am guessing 2022/23?). They didn't feel at all cheap to me. To the contrary, I thought that the QC was a step-change improvement compared to...
I agree with your observation : many newer Gibson models felt cheap in my hands and were un-inspiring re the tones I was able to coax out of them. Having been a fan-boy of these ES models ever since...
So sorry you experienced such discrimination. Your story sounds crazy to me because of how severe and ridiculous it is. However, I'm discriminated so I know this is the reality for some people. ...
