Actually take a look into the book yourself -- I posted a link to a PDF of the long out-of-print English edition. It is a very practical book containing thousands of practical examples for all...
Or we could go and listen to some music instead. I can't remember the last time I looked at a theory book, other than to see if I agreed with it.
There's a lot of ways to play V-I. Depends on what I'm hearing. There's a lot of well known tricks be it 'I went to the Guildhall' (Cry me a River in the US), or the thing where you move the IIm7b5...
Hi Jimmy, Thanks so much for replying and that's very generous of you sir. Thanks so much! I'll send you my email address via PM too. Thanks again! Pete
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.

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.
