You people are weird. If I see 7alt what makes you think I'd play a 9 or a straight 13? Weird.

Are you implying it should actually lean backwards a bit?

Ibanez archtop with 0.010 Thomastik strings and rosewood bridge intonation issues

Or you leave this imperfection as a sign of being a hand-built instrument but instead improve the design. It never made sense to me that they'd use through-the-top PU and controls but not a ditto...

That's one of many options. The G7b9b13(no5) is same as Abm6/G or Fø/G. So you can use your Ab jazz minor* magic tricks on G7b9b13. If you take a Abo7 chord and replace the Ebb with a Eb, and...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

Chord symbols are always up to some interpretation. Does C13 have an 11 in it? A sharp 11? No 11? Does it even need to have the 9? Is Cm11 a quartal or all those stacked thirds? Can you...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

Super Locrian has a b11. In fact, that's why it's called super (locrian with a b11). But you're right in the sense that I don't know if anyone plays it as a chord with a b11. It's only used...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

I'm a millennial, but I come from a working-class immigrant household, so I even had black and white TV! I love a good knob (no jokes please), but the quickest and easiest solutions tend to be better...

How do you feel about modelers?

Because no chord in its right mind has a b11.

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

No idea where you’re getting that. it is: C Db D# E Gb Ab Bb D# and E being enharmonic spellings for the Eb and Fb that show up in Db melodic minor Ab and Gb being dual-use too

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

So now you're saying a Calt is C E G B Db D# Gb G#? What happened to the 13th? Are you guys really not seeing the problem here? All the other chord symbols mean one thing and Alt means, flat...

It's really simple. If JazzIsGood(the OP) hires you for a gig and during that gig, on a set break or after, you try to book The Pauln Experience for a performance you will not be hired by JazzIsGood...

I should think this to be a very effective solution!

The minor thirds doesn’t give you all the “altered” family of sounds. It pulls sounds from something closer to (but not quite) the diminished scale family of sounds. It’s more interesting than that,...
