Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

LOL Alter, I remember your lockdown solos were as long as they were cool, but what you're describing is more applicable to whole compositions, IME.

Lets go and compare improvisation to spoken language.

Did anyone notice how physically static the OP is in the clips? Holding, as opposed to hugging (mauling in my case) the guitar is maybe more classical school, which is fine as a plan for arrangements...

Not really sounding very 'jazzy'. Is it in the playing technique?

Actually, the entire ending can be played utilizing open strings (or simply at the first rather than 5th position). If I'm in a key such as G Major that lends itself to open strings, I like to take...

Cheaper and perhaps better alternative to Dynarette cushion?

Today, one of the girls called me up to tell me that the results of the nuclear stress test were fine. I asked her, "Then why am I glowing in a light green color when I look in the mirror?:cool:

Here's That Rainy Day - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold Tune #1

You sound like you know a lot about using MS. I've written about 75 big band charts on MS, but don't know how to send them to people. You know how to do that? I've had a lot of them played by 'real'...

I better keep doing both, or my chops will fall apart! I wasn't referring to the Romaine comment, I was referring to you're suggestion to have the metronome playing on 2&4, only 4, or on one every 4...

The thing Romain was doing was the first beat of every four measures. Anyway, it sounds like you were asking a question to which you’ve already arrived at an answer. And also the post said...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

The numerous times I've played "Solo Flight" in concert with a big band, I always practiced for it by playing with the recording, but I'm not talking about that here.

I had a Gibson with a sticky neck. I bought it new and used both the naptha trick and the 3M Scotch-Brite pads previously suggested. The abrasive pad dulled the finish, but it would gloss up again as...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

They're not presented online played in perpetuity, so that would be impossible. It means a bit more work copying out the notes into MS, but once you've done one copy of the 59 note exercise (in this...
