Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

The main difference in sound between jazz guitars and solid wood guitars, comes from the difference in the way they are fundamentally designed. Not whether they are solid or hollow. Hollow bodies...

Ah, so you've been watching Good Will auctions for a long time now! I just discovered the website about 2 months ago. I'm guessing the average bids are much higher now than in the past? I've seen...

LOL Alter, I remember your lockdown solos were as long as they were cool, but what you're describing is more applicable to whole compositions, IME.

Lets go and compare improvisation to spoken language.

Did anyone notice how physically static the OP is in the clips? Holding, as opposed to hugging (mauling in my case) the guitar is maybe more classical school, which is fine as a plan for arrangements...

Not really sounding very 'jazzy'. Is it in the playing technique?

Actually, the entire ending can be played utilizing open strings (or simply at the first rather than 5th position). If I'm in a key such as G Major that lends itself to open strings, I like to take...

I like the G 6/9 that Jeff's arrangement ends on. Really looking forward to hearing your take of Jeff's arrangement Mick. We should also start thinking of the next tune. I'm open but can suggest...

You sound like you know a lot about using MS. I've written about 75 big band charts on MS, but don't know how to send them to people. You know how to do that? I've had a lot of them played by 'real'...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

I better keep doing both, or my chops will fall apart! I wasn't referring to the Romaine comment, I was referring to you're suggestion to have the metronome playing on 2&4, only 4, or on one every 4...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

The thing Romain was doing was the first beat of every four measures. Anyway, it sounds like you were asking a question to which you’ve already arrived at an answer. And also the post said...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

The numerous times I've played "Solo Flight" in concert with a big band, I always practiced for it by playing with the recording, but I'm not talking about that here.

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

I had a Gibson with a sticky neck. I bought it new and used both the naptha trick and the 3M Scotch-Brite pads previously suggested. The abrasive pad dulled the finish, but it would gloss up again as...
