It's a lie, they actually recorded it with the Manchester Mellotron Festival Orchestra.

What are these chords

Goodness gracious. No indeed. You have two consecutive whole steps between Eb-F and F-G. So it’s not a symmetrical diminished scale. For what it’s worth, I believe it’s a C harmonic minor...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

You're the 2nd one on this thread to mention the Classic 57's for a semi-hollow. This sounds like the ticket.

Like-New Gibson ES-335s

Right, never mind the writing it down. There's a clip there. No.4 over Abo is B C D Eb F G Ab. I played that. What's that? As far as I know it's an A dim scale starting on the B.

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

The authors are anonymous, and the publisher (Hal Leonard) doesn't guarantee accuracy - which is actually rather weird.

Getting Transcriptions Wrong

Man, I think you're arguing about a discussion you don't have a handle on. Not correct. A harmonic minor over G#o7 is not an 8-note half-whole scale. Your F# is out of place there. G# A B...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

Anyone here can suss that out. Duh. The point that others are making here, a lot more frequently now, is that this JGF thread was not conceived as a satellite dispensary link for sales listed...

1993 MINT Gibson L-5 Wes Montgomery James Hutchins Signed Pristine Condition

Last January I bought a 2021 335 dot. Really love the guitar. It replaced an Ibanez JSM10. It had the calibrated T top pickups, which I liked for a while, but changed them for classic 57’s. It really...

Incidentally, I tested out what I was saying. I didn't make mistakes playing it, only writing it down. Writers need editors! The first bars of Corcovado because it's got the Abo in it: Am6 -...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

I wrote a lengthy post on this thread last week. But it got lost after I tried to post it. Heartbroken. Yeah and I haven’t gone through the thread, so apologies. I was mentored by my cousin Charles...

Peter - Quite right, it's easy to make mistakes with this stuff. I've corrected it. A harmonic over Abo and Ab A B C D Eb F F# (8-note H-W scale). I don't disagree that Christian has...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

My card is more direct....."can't play".

Slaman Super 400 with CC pickup

Damn, how time is running. I once borrowed this (fusion? prog-rock?) album from the public library ca. 35 years ago (on cassette!) and listened to it for quite a while but never since.

Released a few years ago, but hey

Shape of jazz to come/that's here

I've had one of these for 15 years and I really like it. I know Lawson likes his too. Mine was built in 1998 by Peerless. I hope yours works out for you.
