Went back to listen to Munisteri again... Playing a lot of drop3 stuff, like I've been mostly doing. Not much in the way of reharmonization, some chromatic walk ups/downs between chords, some...

That's what I'm saying...it's not really a sub or a reharm...just doing what I can to have pleasant movement on the 4th string. As for what Flory is doing there, I wouldn't call that rhythm...

I owned the exact same guitar 30 years ago. It was a terrific guitar and one that I have a lot of fond memories of. I have no idea how many they made but I'm pretty sure it wasn't many.

It's a gypsy jazz guitar with Argentine steel strings. I just always play this guitar, it would sound better on something else probably. I'm just too lazy to pick anything else up.

Nylon string guitar? I've never seen a pick-up like that before but I'm not a gear person so for all I know, it may be commonplace.

Well, yes, but I had common lead sheets in mind, i.e., only melody and chord symbols.

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

Make it into one? The two chords are enharmonic, e.g., Dm7b5 (root position) = Fm6 (6th in bass). But perhaps you mean something like this? 4-x-3-5-x-x (Dm7b5 no root) > 4-x-3-4-x-x (Fm6, no...

You use some other representation, e.g., figured bass or tablature or (gasp!) music notation. The granularity of "chord symbols" is limited.

What do you call power chords with chord symbols?

But what to name it if you (a) double the 5th an octave higher or (b) invert that voicing? For example: (a) G-D-D(8va) or (b) D-D(8va)-G. Debussy liked that inverted chord, used it in pieces such...

What do you call power chords with chord symbols?

Munisteri's rhythm playing in that Ear Regulars video reminds me of John Pizzarelli's (especially in timbre) and Steve Jordan's, at least on the Ruby Braff's All-Stars album (aka Braff!), where you...
