NND - New Neck Day (and not a great one)

Do altered bass notes normally appear in all parts or only the bassist's? E.g. for a Cm7/A chord, would the piano part simply show Cm7, to keep it uncluttered?

Slash Chords

Oops, my bad.... I have one too... 6773 is the number.... I think.

I think that's a steel string. (And I think I had one.)

Tony Mottola was Como’s favorite accompanist for years. The Perry Como Show started in 1955, and I got my first guitar in September of that year. My parents watched it regularly and I discovered TM...

Tony Mottola

Thanks Rene! Much appreciated. :redface-new: Love playing the old standards. It was from a weekly jam session that the Mrs. recorded on her phone. The tune is often done as a ballad, but I was...

It seems like the OP has the following constraints (or missing constraints): Must LOOK like an ES-175 (grandson wants guitar that looks like Grandpa’s). Most important constraint. Guitar is...

Gibson ES-175 ---- floretine cutaway shape ?

Agreed! There is also the situation where the melody does not start on the tonic but the harmony does start on the tonic. So yes a "one size fits all" approach certainly will not do. The introduction...

Adding intros and endings to standards

Telecaster Neck Pickup - Seeking Advice

No worries! I was a bit reluctant myself at first.. That's why I systematically remove electronics in my acoustic guitars. Gibson puts LR BAGGS piezo systems in almost all of their production...

Magnetic pickup for Gibson LG2

Yeah man. He's the real deal. His solo albums are all worth checking out too because he's an equally great composer!

Jazz without blues, prog rock, lol. I think it might've been because blues was more popular in the 90's and it seemed a lot of the guys who came up in the 70's were either "over it" or just...

How many tonalities or colors do you try to utilize in a tune?

True to form Christian, always posting koool music. Didn't pay a lot of attention to the vid and I have no idea who they are/he is. Anyway, thanks as usual.
