    I'm much more patient in person.

    RP, I don’t think Reaper can record video, it is just an editor for video (as far as I can make out). But it appears to be fairly simple to import your video file into your existing audio project, then you could trim it, line the video track up with your reaper audio track, then lower the ‘video audio’ volume to zero.

    Just google reaper video editing, there are some good videos by Kenny Gioia which cover it.

    I might try doing a video in Reaper myself, just for a change.

    It's unbelievable how melodic Wes is on Unit 7, been listening to his solo again... Whoa!
    Well, on the one hand I love to listen Jim Hall. On the other I hate transcribing.

    Wow a lot of cool stuff this week. Going backwards, Alter I'm impressed! Great tone on that strat, so fat. I use ProPlec picks, really dig them. I use the big oversize one. You're really good at doing the Wes thing!

    Graham bop,beautiful sound and just really melodic lines.

    Triple Jazz, great driving feel!

    Tommo, that sounded nice relaxed and confortable even with the Aebersold.

    Rp that 2nd version develops really well!

    Ragman you have an ability that make any tune sound like your own, that's powerful!

    Picking my ears, cool less is more vibe.

    Both John and Jeff swingin' as always!

    I've got the new tune for tomorrow, hope you all dig it. One of my favorites...

    I haven't engaged all that much in the discussions, partially because I spend my days talking. When I get home I just want to play!

It even sounds a bit thumby hehe... But it's hard to get a Grant Green sound with this pick..

    Missing some kicks on the head, cause i think the Wes version is a bit different than this play along (the kick on the end of the B sections for example , some others )..

    That was one really fun take. I can't think of anything about that did not just delight me to the core! The tone was really funky-Wes-like, your lines were super tasty with the bop edge but clearly tracking the blues sections. You make it look easy, and it sounds so chill and natural.

    Thanks for this inspiring clip!

If you bothered to speak to them at all, that is. Life's tough :-)
    This is just nonsense. I work all the time with Israelis, Palestinians, German-speakers, people of all kinds of cultural and religious backgrounds. I do my research in about 8 different ancient and modern languages and spend my summers excavating on archaeological sites with multi-national/multi-ethnic teams and I get along just fine with them. I lived in a rural East African village for a year and had to do a lot of interacting in a fairly obscure tribal dialect and navigate those cultural situations.

    It's just patronizing and condescending for you think maybe I just don't "get" people from the UK. Maybe it's you who needs to get out more.

    This is my last word on this subject.

    Yeah, I’m British, and I didn’t like the tone either!

    But enough of that. Just now there was a knock on the door and my new signal splitter gadget arrived, much more interesting!

    Another thing I thought of doing with it is record the direct signal into channel 1 of the Focusrite, mic the amp into channel 2, then blend them in Reaper.

    I blame Jordan Klemons for this but I have come to prefer the sound of Cm on Abmaj7 to an actual Abmaj7.

    That Ab sounds dissonant on an Abmaj7 chord; you actually need to resolve to G

    OTOH Cm pentatonic/blues and triads etc sound AMAZING

    Bearing in mind Ab6 is not the same thing at all as an Abmaj7; an Ab will sound resolved on an Ab6 chord.

    OK I just re-did my Unit 7 video from scratch inside my Reaper audio project, it was actually very easy to do. The only things you need to know really are:
    - how to switch on the video window
    - how to enable video fades
    - how to ignore the 'camera' audio track.

    All these are in one of those Kenny Gioia videos you get by googling as I suggested.

    The one other non-obvious thing is how to render the project out as an MP4 file. Again I googled it and there was a video which explained it.

    Oh did it? Thank you!

    Has anybody tried to just play C major over the entire B-section? Sounds good to me but my ears may be cheating me....

    Spent another $20 on Jazzmen Detroit because... I mean, look at who is on that album--do I need a reason

    I have a music addition and C19 has only made it worse
    good choices. i got all the mcpherson xanadu LPs. live in tokyo is fantastic as well. i probably could've bought a small house with the money i've spent buying music...

    Yes the bridge is basically a turnaround in C, I didn’t have much trouble with that, it’s a very common progression.

    you can view the b-section either completely in C, II V III VI or consider the Em7 A7 a II V in D major. both is popular. the latter has a nice little outside effect if you're used to hearing it in C. wes uses this device for surprise moments in satin doll. on unit 7 he does stay in C, just like cannonball. i have a few versions of richie hart, where he enjoys going to D

    Yeah people get a bit sniffy about that type of transposable ii V harmony but they all do it. Any II V line on any II V...

    You can, certainly, because it's all in C, but you may lose some subtlety over the A7b9 and G7b9. At least a natural C over the A7 gives you a blues sound.

    I tend to play C7(b9) over A7b9...

    You mean you've got both the 7b9 sound and the blue note at the same time? That's quite clever, I can't wait to hear it :-)

    Yeah you don’t need to play the C# at all. Barry showed that. C7 to Dm

    Are you panned hard one way? I think my phone's speakers are messed up...I can barely hear you.

    I'll be sure to listen later with headphones.

    Thought that chord soloing was pretty wicked!
