Chart for "Your Molecular Structure" ?

when soloing on Corcovado I used to emphasise that Fo to F change then i tried playing F stuff over that change and it works fine (and is less clunky)

Diminished function …. I wish I knew ….

Wow. Wish I could pick this up! Been a massive fan of this model for awhile. Looks gorgeous. GLWS!

Tunes I Claim I Know

Out of curiosity why was that? It’s in the music, no? Donna Lee always being the first example to jump to mind.

Is minor "home" (Im) dorian, melodic, neither?

I don’t think that’s quite what he meant. Bass is about linking up the chords more than it is about arpeggiating the one you’re on. Not that I’m any good at it. Though I’ve found myself in a...

Don't think that you can play bass just because you're a good guitar player

The few times I got my hands around a bass I always enjoyed playing. The feeling of digging in to those thick bass strings is unmatched... though I still got my hands tied trying to get around with...

Don't think that you can play bass just because you're a good guitar player

Saw him last night in Hartford. Very full show. 2 solid hours of an overview from his musical career. He was very engaging and entertaining. His crew helped to provide pristine sound regardless of...

Hello, everyone, old, young, experienced, and newbies: I’ve been a member of this community for about 9 years and wish I had found it sooner. You all have shared your talent, taught me about jazz...

Don’t forget Gene Edwards, who played a few tracks on that album. I was never able to learn much about him, but he played on several Gerald Wilson albums as well as for Holmes. I don’t know what he...

The dilemma of Fender guitars

For Wes-type of sound I think a humbucker guitar is the easiest way to go. Since I bougth my Ibanez AF55 - the cheapest hollowbody in their catalogue - I am a fan: they play well, sound good and...

Help me buy a hollowback

Not a Marchione, but my Westville neck carve has the same soft V to a C, and is indeed incredible to play.

Marchione Guitars

Indeed - it's a very different instrument, starting with the basics of the note. Most guitar players who dabble in bass pluck notes as though they were playing a guitar solo. They sustain some of...

Don't think that you can play bass just because you're a good guitar player

Hollowback is just my autocorrect going crazy when typing hollowbody Ive canceled my order on the rps hollowback. It's probably a good guitar, but not a hollowback for jazz. As it's just a normal...
