It would be great to know the whole fretboard, wouldn't it? Three books in three years.

Keep playing, man. Sounds awesome.

I don't though, they might not appreciate the humor. Some folks don't think cancer jokes are funny. Go figure.

Thanks for reviving the thread oldhead. What a way to take a break! I wish I could play like that.
OK, oldhead, you've inspired me. Some recordings, from 25 graded pieces of plectrum guitar (Ingram):

The waltz is a killer, and really not much of a break from Leavitt. Needs a lot of work. It would help if I knew the notes, for a start.Last edited by ten left thumbs; 06-15-2012 at 05:36 PM.

Rather cool being able to jam with someone. I had actually mentioned early on that maybe someone could post in this thread one part of a piece and someone else could add to it.
Thanks for posting these TLT.

I just listened to this with headphones and that acoustic is out a sight!Last edited by oldhead; 06-15-2012 at 09:39 PM. Reason: add

Hey that's great Dave! Almost as good as being able to play together. Let's do this - only better. My time-keeping wasn't great (I rushed the rests) and it caused you problems.
I will work out the chords and post later.
Great idea!

1st chorus:
G7 | G7 | G7 | G7 |
C7 | C7 | G7 Ab7 G7 | F7 E7 |
C6 | Cm | Bm7 Bb7 | Am7 D7 |
2nd chorus:
G7 | G7 | G7 | G7 |
C7 | C7 | G7 Ab7 G7 | F7 E7 |
A7 | D7 | Am7 Am7b5 | D7 G |
Bridge:
G7 | G7 E7 | F#dim | B7 |
Em7 | A7 | Am7 | D7 |
3rd chorus = same as second
I will re-record. We could post this also in the Ingram thread.

Hey TLT and Old Head --
Uber Cool! This *would* be a fun thing to do, since we can overdub now.
I have a really good collection of "Jazz Guitar Duets" somewhere - maybe I can find them and scan them.
Good playing - both of you!

I like duets.
Good idea.

Hi oldhead, this may be a little better:

I just wish I was more reliable at hitting the right notes.

If so -- who's playing bass? Frank - you play bass. I can fake it with guitar and my effects board, but it would be bone-head simple.

Hi Kojo
Vic's groove is written out in standard notation in a book we have been discussing here:
25 Graded Pieces for Plectrum Guitar
There are no chords given. I have worked out chords as best I can, however they need a second opinion.
For a bass-line, it may be best to ignore some of the chords, ie for a bar G7 Ab7 G7, just play G7.

I'm working on this but having a few tempo problems.
And yes, what is the Ingram thread?
