Rewiring the cab

Playing the BMaj7 (9) Arpeggio: B D# F# A# (C#) over the G7 chord add the M3, #5, M7 and b5. To my ear I don't like the the F# note (M7) over G7. In my previous post I said that the...

Maj7 arpeggio over Dom7 chord question

I have another thought to add to this -- Why did we collectively decide that they got it "right" in a certain year and there's no need to innovate further? Why is the Tele "perfect"? I can't imagine...

How do you feel about modelers?

A tone pot is a good thing if you’re using the bridge pickup now and then :smile-new: But a no load pot is always best bet for your neck pickup. It‘s not only the plus 1-2% high end, a direct to...

Bypassing the Tone Pots

When you learn a new thing, at first each little part and piece of each step must be consciously guided and controlled. Eventually these steps integrate into units, those units integrate into...

Fretboard mastery?

There’s also B/G as a dominant chord which I have heard called the Bill Evans dominant, but I’m pretty sure it predates Bill. The B—>C move is super strong as a resolution. Sent from my...

Maj7 arpeggio over Dom7 chord question

Great! Do you know if he did anything else besides adding the bolt to get rid of the buzz, and what exactly that would be? If yes please post. TIA

B String Fret Buzz on Legrand

I'm inclined to finger the triplet like so, easiest to pick this way, what do you think? (fingerings are on top)

Bebop heads — Dewey Square

Too much pedal sustain. You're still playing the organ. My mother was a pianist :-)

I got a piano woohoo

I remember it, maybe someone already mentioned it. Or he said it in the some interview to me the tricky thing about this is not different ii-v’s but a lot of quite static harmony

Could there be 1 tune that teaches you 90% of all jazz?

^^^ This. Depending on the amount and "shape" of the compression, recorded reverb tails can be greatly amplified. Valve amps will compress or limit your transients, but maybe consider some subtle...

Use of amp reverb when recording?

A couple ideas for things to work on: -try isolating scales/arpeggios to 1 octave, and then playing that 1 octave shape on the different string sets. Then try some limitation exercises where you...
