It's really simple. If JazzIsGood(the OP) hires you for a gig and during that gig, on a set break or after, you try to book The Pauln Experience for a performance you will not be hired by JazzIsGood...

What not to do on a gig

I should think this to be a very effective solution!

how to fix string alignment

The minor thirds doesn’t give you all the “altered” family of sounds. It pulls sounds from something closer to (but not quite) the diminished scale family of sounds. It’s more interesting than that,...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

For Galt you can play Abm6 (tritone’s minor in Barry-speak): Ab (root) is the b9 of G7; B (m3) is the 3rd; Eb (5th) is the #5; F (6th) is the b7. Let the bass player take care of the G. For other...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

Used Conti 7-string Prototype archtop guitar

I don’t doubt it. I like blue bell vanilla personally. But I’m such a fan of chocolate that I prefer their Dutch chocolate flavor, even though I readily acknowledge that it is not the same quality as...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

Ibanez PM-120 sound check

I’m interested in buying or trading toward any of the amps listed in the title, namely either an Allen LF or Chihuhua or a Kendrick Solo7. I also have some trade bait: Josefina signed tele pups...

Allen LF or 1x8” Chichuahua or Kendrick Solo7

lol R35 is one of the things “alt” distinctly doesn’t mean. For what it’s worth, I dispute the idea that “alt” doesn’t mean anything specific. it means b9 #9, b5 #5. We can’t play all those...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

What Christian means is that if a big band chart says Galt, It first and foremost means that that should not play A (major 9) or E (major 13). The less important information in the Galt symbol is...

The list of what not to do looks to be universally clear and agreeable except the one that starts with "Everyone seems to know this..."; I still don't know what that one means, but of all the...

What not to do on a gig

Thanks, yeah I agree it's a waste of money and I'll likely wait for now. I have stuff arriving this week to redo the Emperor's electronics and it just felt a bit odd to reinstall the cheap original...
