Makes sense :) Thanks. From a chord perspective only (i.e. aside of considerations to do with melody, chord being a VI, etc.): it's interesting how the b9b13 seems to sound crunchier than the...

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

We were discussing the Yamaha G series amps recently in this thread - in fact I shared the same Paul Rivera video. I have a G-100 III 2x12. Anyone hip to Joshua Breakstone?

No, those are stripes: they are two-dimensional. Hoops are three-dimensional: they are circles. The metal strips on a barrel are hoops: they go around the barrel. The bars of colour on Metheny's...

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

I'm sure you know this, Bobby, but #11th cannot be equated with b5th, #11 implies that the chord voicing contains the natural 5th (lydian), and it can be a very pretty chord. For example:...

I know this is an old thread, however I have had 2 of these amps my first ever amp in fact! I bought a mark 2 about 3 years ago just out of sentimental reasons but don’t play it much these days. Was...

I played different extensions and here's what I came up with from least to most crunchy: 1: Natural 9 only is the safest choice and fits with the melody. 2. Adding the 13th brings in some crunch...

Hey Rob, I don’t post much these days, but when I see your posts I always have a listen or read. We met briefly when I bought your deering banjo. I’m sending you positive vibes and you will be in my...

Hey Mike... good to hear from you.

And now for something completely different. Here's a link to a vintage write-up by JBL themselves, including some neat pics and annotated drawings, describing what was so unique about JBL Alnico...

I just realised this has two tritones a major third apart :numbness: A very interesting way to look at this. Thanks for sharing. The tone that the melody emphasises is B. The same is...

I’m still missing the boat. He’s unbelievably talented, that much is clear. But it doesn’t captivate me and I can only listen to him briefly. He inspires me on a different level: he has his own...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?
