Sure.Originally Posted by RegWhen part says "play even 8ths" ... it's implied that the accent pattern is natural strong weak accent pattern or stress.
With straight feel or subdivision... no swing.
This is a great one to run an exercise my old teacher would make me do (that drove me fucking nuts, so you know it's good) Start this tune from random spots that are not the beginning or end of...
Excellent post. While there may be some way to objectively compare overall quality, John A. points out a bunch of factors that could swing the decision. I'd add this. The first thing I do...
Yes, an approach I've found that is effective: (1) Play the appropriate scales for the chord progressions in the tune - that's progressions, as in II-V-I, not a scale per chord approach. (2) Play...
Something I've been practicing quite a bit lately is playing very simple scales up and down -- with added half steps ala Barry, or bebop scales, whatever you want to call them -- and really trying to...
I'm struggling to put all the pieces together and keep tempo. It's like playing 4 different songs back to back right now.
I've put a Rotron Whisper Fan in all my big tube amps since I got my Boogie hunree in '78. They're bulletproof, light, silent (44 dB) and efficient (110 cfm+). I use the 110V model and plug it into...

Has anyone been experimenting with simply landing the guide tones and main chord tones for the changes? I get really paralyzed thinking about soloing over a tune like this, so I've been just playing...
The more time I spend with these two guitars, the more I appreciate them. The 594 is just ridiculous and the best electric guitar I’ve ever played in my life (so far). It has a sound unlike anything...
I prefer set-in pickups to floaters, so I of these two would favor the Epiphone. I prefer 16" bodies to 17" bodies, so there again I would favor the Epiphone. There are other brands and...
I am afraid I do.lol I am hesitant in downloading. I am not a “clean” or academic player. Never took a lesson. My grandmother showed me a few chords and how to tune and away I went. I play by ear and...
That’s a thing too. It’s always a balance between efficiency and consistency. Sometimes it might be more efficient to throw an a finger in or to slur or something, but as tempos get faster, it can...
