Mick. My guy. You missed my point entirely. Those were rhetorical questions. Though I’m glad you answered them … Yes they are the same chord when you take away their roots (i.e. they share...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

Once it’s in my head I can move them around pretty well, it’s something I’m working on. Usually in my band I try to play in the octave the trumpet isn’t in. So I’ll have to transpose heads around....

THIS! When dad got our first dog, a German shepherd, we took him to a trainer for about a year, 3 times a week. One of the things the trainer had said was exactly this - when you see something...

Seriously, Canto da Praya is an old tune? ;) I added that video 1. because no one has ever sung it like Varijashree before and 2. because it's so damn good! Any lack of interest in Brazilian...
