If we want to skip formal study of music theory that defines functional harmony very specifically, we can say that function pretty much comes down to what the listener hears. Separating function from...
So how did it go? What did you choose? Finish the story OP
No, the form is a standard 12 bar blues with the melody being 8th notes. You ask me for a chart and then disregard it? Or did you lose your ability to read? :P Yes, Ab and Db accidentals over the...
Yeah looks like the one Mary Halvorson has and I know she’s got an Artist Award.
I used turns at my gig last night. Usually I’m burned out by set 3, but then a lightbulb went off USE THE TURNS, GO FOR IT.
once you go through a vintage BF amp and bring things up to snuff, they will last for a really long time. I’ve had my BF Deluxe Reverb since the mid 70’s, I may have had one preamp tube go on a gig...
If you were to find an FRFR speaker that could take the very low-level signal straight out of your tele without a preamp, it would sound totally dry, with tone-shaping capabilties limited to the...
Sorry, Jim, still not following you, lowering the 7th of a 7b5 chord will give you minor chords, as in the examples I gave, not a different Dom. 7th chord. D7b5 with 6th lowered = D-F#-G#-B. Ab7b5...
Keyboards put out a lot more bass than guitars, so one of the characteristics of a "keyboard" amp is to handle bass transients without speaker damage. Playing an electronic keyboard through a guitar...

Sorry, by "discrete" I simply meant serving a definite harmonic function, as a subdominant or dominant chord, etc., versus being a passing chord - say an alternate voicing for the previous chord in...
Here is my 38 and case is in the best shape I have ever seen for being original.
This is different than your previous statement and example, which was Am7b5 to D7/Ab7b9 (A-C-Eb-G > A-C-Eb-F#). That is, lowering the 7th of the m7b5 gives you it's relative Dominant (7b9), m7b5 by...
I suspect my way of viewing these things is quite a bit different than most people I encounter in these discussions. You said "It (is) a practical definition, not a closed theoretic one" and...
