All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

Well, let me explain what I'm working on. With this big band stuff I'm trying to see a symbol and immediately grab the chord. Instead of grabbing what I know and hitting the middle strings, I've...

There's practicality and vanity too. The fashionistas say that horizontal stripes make you l look taller and slimmer, and vertical stripes can make you look shorter and fatter. That prolly has much...

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

The Summer of Rhythm Guitar 2024

That was beautiful Mikey. As far as I’m concerned, there was never a beef so there’s no reason for a grudge. “Oh, it doesn't sound bad and if it can be had I'll buy that dream..” I will always...

Hello from Chicago from big Mike

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

That's very nice. Listening and watching I realized I've handled a few of the chords more according to my own past experience and not according to what Arnold wrote. Listening to play it I realize I...

Cool, because horizontal is slang for "doing it, getting busy, making whoopie, knocking the boots," etc., etc.

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

I wasn't actually proposing them for a vote. All of them are good, and all would transfer equally to other tunes.

I have found the Princeton mic's very well. I can't hear much difference between the direct line side and the mic side of my recording. I also have a Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb and its direct...
