I am looking at buying a couple of tools from Canadian suppliers, Lee Valley Tools and Guitar Builders Online, but shipping costs to Australia seem to be very high. Does anyone have any input or...

Shipping to OZ for Canadian tools

Bobby, you're losing me, I'm afraid. I don't really want to change good dom or major blues into minors, I can't see the point. There are plenty of minor blues if that's what you, or anybody, wants...

JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 1) - Blue Monk in minor

It's not a matter of right or wrong imho, and maybe a correction was needed. But I do think the the concervatism that marsalis became a spokesperson for eventually made jazz less attractive to...

Did Joe Pass NOT care much for his Ibanez JP20??

All you need to do is change the 1 and 4 chords to minor to be a minor blues. The 2 being half dim is usually required. The full dim chord might not work in a minor blues but you could try it. ...

JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 1) - Blue Monk in minor

The local jazz radio station just ran a series on Miles Davis and the DJ said that Tony Williams was only 17 y/o when he started playing with Miles, and so legally they could not serve alcohol during...

SNL staff guitarist?

The thing is, Monk wrote several blues based tunes that had somewhat different chord changes, and aside from that, there are variations on 12 bar minor blues progressions, e.g., all minor chords;...

Haha, if only I'd realised in my younger playing years that noodling to one chord vamps is actually as "standard" as it gets for guitar players!
