Also: Superchops. Seriously. Well worth the time commitment to do the whole 20 week routine at least once in your life.

Also--I use the BruteEQ pedal directly into my digital audio interface here, so if you want to hear what the "Polytone in a Pedal" sounds like, this is your clip!
Comment welcome of course.

My old teacher had me transcribe solos by ear and grunt out all the notes, get them on the guitar, BEFORE I wrote the solo out. Vocalizing rhythm is deceptively easy. There is a nuance to what notes are accented, swallowed, long, short. Vocalizing rhythm also gets you to pay attention to rhythm.
One exercise involved taking a short phrase from a tune we were working on and grunting out improvised rhythms. Each phrase, a new rhythm, a new place to start in the measure, a new place to end the phrase.
The first 4 or 8 measures of Afternoon in Paris, try grunting out some rhythms. Transcribe the rhythms. Put notes to the rhythms.
If I can figure out how to properly do a print screen I can show you what I did with "Stablemates" (the tune we were working on). I'd like to try that same exercise with our tune of the week. Definitely worth a shotLast edited by PickingMyEars; 06-03-2021 at 08:40 PM.

I'd suggest channeling Sammy's rhythmic feel.

Here's a quick one I did with a looper.
Glad to see the jam continues!

Finally took my time to read and listen to all the posts. There's some fine playing here all around. Nice tune that I enjoy playing over the changes and maybe there will be a late entry by me.
Has anyone played or had a Supro Amulet ?
