I agree with @Litterick who posted it is the “Piedmont blues” style. The style originated on the south east coast of the U.S.A. Its from delta/acoustic blues, ragtime, and stride piano. Players such...
An American treasure, a legend in his own time, and a good friend. :smile-new:
The term theory is general to the extent of being meaningless when talking about a musician's process. That's why I prefer to ask if you have any conscious awareness of any chord you're playing on or...
But you don’t do that while performing. You’re describing a classic exercise for performance improvement in any effort that requires complex interaction among motor skills, sensory input, memory,...
That's good to hear because I decided the same thing after working out grips for those 4 to the bar parts, then playing along to a recording and thinking nobody can hear the guitar hitting all these...
Here's a video from twoodfrd that talks a lot about the grommet/switch on a 275 he's repairing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqCiqTVWqJk It may provide some insight for those interested....
The printer didn't :) This tune is actually a pretty simple "gospel" kind of form. If I were playing this I'd probably concentrate on the parts where the rhythm is specified, the "hits" if you...
I hear it just as I III VI II V in C major with secondary dominants. If the A section was just 16 bars of C maj, the actual chords of the tune wouldn't be too far from at least one of the ways I'd...
I don’t doubt that he does. One of my particularly skilled students thinks like this. It’s quite fun because I can’t teach him the way I teach myself. So I have to try to bring him the same...
I do not hear it as only one key center. For me the secondary dominant E7 let's you expect Am7 but deceptively follows an A7 leading to Dm from the key center of F, indicated by the Bb in the melody...
Eastman laminate models are noted for having a sound that is leaning more towards carved territory. Their laminates are typically (from what I've seen and read) livelier and maybe more what you are...
Since you asked :smile-new:, I prefer a simple C7 | B7 - Bb7 | em7b5 - A7 | dm
It's nuts. I need to go through my book and highlight all the D.S. so I can find them when I get to the end of the chart. I should probably put it in alphabetical order too, instead of order I...
Yes, that's what I'm trying to get to in my response to nevershoudvesoldit. But I'm going step by step to figure out if he actually has a completely different process.
Okay I don’t find this sort of dichotomy to be particularly useful. So, this may come as a shock to some of you, but when I was in school, I was considered something of an obnoxious smarty pants....
