Time I grew up!!

Georgia on my mind

It sounds like he did to me. Many melodic devices, especially in the minor key, are reminiscent of Bach. They may have been semi quotes, for all I know. And then there's stuff like this that he...

Well I had like 4 days so I did my best without the book. I learned the basic structure from you guys's recordings and I inserted some BH. But it's anti-BH.

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

Is this based on Arnold's arrangement? - because you said you didn't have a copy of the book yet. I'll have to analyze it.

Ibanez makes wood bridges for similar sized bodies (GB models) (quite costly). I tried Göldo HW155 which did not fit my guitar very well (less costly). It is now taking space in my parts box. I...

Ibanez AG95 / Fender Mustang GTX Metallic Sound

Potayto potahto? BTW, there's a clear b13 there too, in case you missed it. Sounds legit! In seriousness that's a profound point about musical analysis. No of course not, and anyone...

I'd like to try The Nearness of You. I've never played it, and the key is different than the first two tunes.

Yes the midnights do sound quite different And I prefer them in general. The only thing I like more about the L series is that they are more efficient, which is good when playing with larger/louder...

10 inch suggestion - clear and sparkly

Looks like the new 535s have a larger cutaway more similar to the gibson....

anyone selling a 535 or 335? And how do the new 535s compare to the originals?

Yeah these are useful points. I usually tell students that theory is not the knowledge in the books, but it is the Dewey decimal system. Maybe Chicago Manual or AP (or whatever the heck you Brits...

^ All beautiful tunes. Alright guys, since I didn't have much time to internalize the tune I did a rubato version for you. I'm best at melody but since this is a chord melody study group I didn't...

It probably won't hurt to obtain access to the PCB that holds those top knobs and blow some contact spray into the pots and any other switch that looks like it isn't sealed. It they use quality...

Hey, you take take back! Some of my best friends are Berklee graduates! I'll use the Berklee terms if I know what they are because that's lingua franca. I will even say mixolydian scale lol. It's...
