Embraceable You - second chord in progression

That approach seems unnatural to me, i.e., referencing a scale that does not include the chord tones (root of the chord in this case) of the chord with which you're associating it. Of course you...

57's seem to be the favorite. It does depend on the particular guitar though. They weren't great in the neck position of my Epi Lucille, but a DeArmond Gold Tone was. Still jonesin' for a Gibson...

Thanks Jimmy, I have a padded one that came w an old Princeton Reverb w their logo on the front in big letters. Checking their website I believe they now offer a no padding/no logo option. I'll check...

Amp Covers

Le Cover, check them out for variations. Padded or not, I like them and have had 5 or 6 covers from them.

Basically it is playing the phrase over and over from the recording. Then I try to play the phrase on my guitar. I get the phrasing and rhythmic placement. Get it up to speed and analyze the thinking...

Just have to have some vocabulary with them. That would help. Put in the time. I don’t use them all that much, unless I have a longer stretch on a diminished chord, because I haven’t put much time...

It's the G I got wrong, should be F#: A B C D Eb F F# G#/Ab That's an A dim scale. I believe so, anyway. I can see why folks don't care for dim scales. As I said before, never liked them myself.

Not my flavor but alright. Thats because that Abo7 is in there by way of the Bo7. It’s almost like you would benefit from listening to other people or watching Christian’s video another time or...

My simple approach if you'll bear with me. I've picked S'wonderful as an example in Eb major. First and 2nd 8 start: Eb % Edim7 % So I think C7b9 for the Edim7 and that takes...
