JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 5) - Mr PC

People do perceive the b9 as highly dissonant. OTOH it is more diatonic that b9 (for E7 it's F in the key of C, so within the C major scale.) b9 is typical for an applied or secondary dominant...

If you are comping, think of the melody. Best to keep it simple if in doubt. Soloists need space. If you are soloing - you have a lot of freedom. E13 type sounds are not actually unusual. ...

Just thought I try and clear a few thing up, as far as I know, and I’m obviously happy to change my mind. This is what I’ve discovered. A lot of people have messaged me saying the guitar isn’t a...

Gibson johnny smith v.s Armstrong paf

I saw on the Boss site that they have an "EX" version of the 50 Gen 3, where they mention a better speaker and a line out - not sure about the specs though. I was once told by a tech how good they...

Pleasantly surprised at the Katana 50 for a clean jazz tone

Hello from Chicago from big Mike

If you play an A7, the audience will hear A9, because of the B in the melody. Putting a Bb or a C at the top of the chord is likely to clash with the melody and may confuse a singer. For...

Ok, here is my version. Again I didn't have a great practise week but the bare bones are there. Lots of things that I want to do with it so with that in mind will we go onto tune #3 or will we take a...

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

So I recently picked up a barefaced upsetter 110. For the most part, it's a fantastic product, that does what they say it is supposed to do (way bigger sounding than its size, good dispersion, very...

Might be a good idea to reheat the solder joints of all the jacks and pots that are soldered into the board.
