Not so sure about that, in the article it said: "In the United States alone, approximately 1.85 million acoustic guitars were sold in 2021, representing around 55% of all guitars sold that year." -...
Because the 7 and 8 throw it off. Playing it for the second octave (or playing it starting anywhere but the root) and you end up switching to chord tones on the upbeats after the octave. 1 (2)...
Makes me wonder what percentage of the global consumption of wood is attributable to guitar-building, both aggregated and broken out by species, by type of guitar, and what the breakdown is for the...
First take, still trying to figure out my old Zoom recorder - and where did my favorite pick go?! (I play with a plectrum so can't use the broken nail alibi). I played the entire tune with intro and...
This link has a set of original changes for I Got Rhythm. They look different from the set of changes Dick Hyman cites. I’ll have to look it up when I get a chance. I remember a chromatic climb up...

This looks like a recycled hand-engraved original vocal/piano score. The chord symbols / guitar grips were possibly added later. Most important for analysis is what is written in the piano...
Sitting on the deck pondering jazz and a thought came to me. Why do we need the Barry Harris scale at all? If every other note of a scale is a chord tone, (1, 3, 5, 7) they naturally fall on the...
Thank you for the offer, but unless you are also footing the bill to fly us from the Boston area, regrettably we will have to decline the offer :smile-new:. The Porchfest I played at yesterday was...
Think I got it. Working off the Oscar Peterson, Getz, Mulligan version. Sucks how fast you forget. But things are easier to learn the 2nd or 3rd time. Bars 1-4 Scrapple From The Apple...
We actually skipped Porchfest this year (a music fest on the streets on Grants Pass Oregon where muscians and bands set up on porches and front yards in a nice historic part of town). Dueling PA...
