Occasionally Mick :) depends what kinda mood I’m in. Always nice for a lil bit of a shimmer with the heavier guage flat wounds compared to the much lighter strings on my strat n les Paul.
https://youtu.be/3YnXUg3cIdI?si=mabnVW9rj33c28KO My favorite version of one of my all time favorite tunes, her first phrase of the ad-lib set a new standard, at least for me, in terms of melodic...
I'm a longtime fan of her elegant playing and I learned some things I still use from her Hot Licks instructional videos. Her playing was joyful but her lifestory is sad.
We've mostly worked restaurants without vocals, playing quietly enough that diners can converse. When we've had the vocalist, she brings a very small unit which is loud enough for that situation. ...
The key is to apply it. Take this II-V-I example in Bb: On the II chord play 8-x-8-8-8-x (Cm7), then on the V go from 8-x-7-8-7-x (Co = rootless F7/b9) to 7-x-7-8-6-x (F7/b5 with the b5 in the...
...raise any note in a diminished chord and it evolves into a minor 6 chord C Eb Gb A so C E Gb/F# A - Ami6 / D9 / Ab7#5b9 (NR) / Gbmi7b5...and if you ask Ted Greene or Ben Monder there...
As an experiment, I did this with some small, thin nylon washers on my Gibson ES-175. The pickup rings are now about .01" above the top, about the thickness of a skinny high E string. You have to...
But it seems like you were working on a lot of different things at the same time so if at least something sticks in your brain 1.5 pages per month is OK :) My big advantage was that I had already...
I am a fan of Emily Remler. I have a couple of her recordings and her video lessons. I find her playing inspirational.
Loud enough for anything isn’t a good priority for me. I mean, a Marshall stack is also loud enough for anything. You get my drift? How many of your gigs need a full PA? For me personally, we...
It was. I'm just being difficult. I feel I should note here that Alan's book is of course, excellent. My brain is not special in anyway, so I'm on like ... page seven or something after about four...
My brain is big and quick but I thought it was clear that I learned the sixth/seventh and diminished scales from Alan's book (and from Chris Parks channel, too, I discovered both in late 2019) and...
Wow this thread has really become a lightning rod for my sarcasm today. Apologies to the innocent bystanders.
I have this problem too sometimes. Where I buy a book and then realize that my brain is so big I don’t need it after all.
