Lick with tabs

I’m confused as to why the Florentine would cause more breaks? Surely the inner radius of the Venetian is greater because it has to do more bending? Of course I’ll bow to those in the know but...

Florentine vs Venetian: which one is better?

I beg to differ on that point. Here is what Merriam-Webster's dictionary has as the definition for arpeggio: arpeggio 1: production of the tones of a chord in succession and not...

If there isn't going to be a lengthy debate about what a triad means on a playing the changes thread, then they might as well shut down the forum.

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

When speaking of L-5s and Super 400s, I believe that a Florentine cutaway guitar will have a larger neck-block than a Venetian cutaway guitar, as well as typically having a laminated back. This makes...

Florentine vs Venetian: which one is better?

You are talking about tritone sub of a dominant perhaps? But here it is a major chord. A substitution always preserves the fundamental role of a chord, whether it's tritone substitution or other...

It’s just like BM to pay it forward! I hope he has it comfortable and is at peace. He has a good soul!

Campellone PSA

I presume the context is more what **** should people work on first, rather than trying to define what is and isn’t a triad? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

So, I see what you're saying but...isn't the Tritone used to create tension and dissonance? Isn't it used to LEAD to the tonic?? Not be the tonic. In other words, if you sub the tritone of chord,...

The best one is the one you haven't got a great example of. Or the one that you only have a few of. Just to confirm my heretic status: I think the few examples I've seen of the pointy cutaway on...

Here's That Rainy Day - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold Tune #1

A great thread and interesting topic. Sound wise I hear little difference between venetian and sharp cutaways. To the point though for best acoustic sound a non-cutaway that is carved all the way up...

Florentine vs Venetian: which one is better?

Dbm7b5 is the tritone substitution of Gmaj. The notes are: Db Fb Abb Cb Enharmonically: C# E G B That's G6#11. Would work particularly well as the Lydian chord in Dmajor.
