You ruffian. It's not exactly a travesty if everything isn't extremely crunchy all the time, I hear you guys play smooth stuff. And if it is, then arrange it however you want to have as much...

JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 1) - Blue Monk in minor

Quite right. Just points in the melody where lowering the third makes it less chromatic and less dissonant. The whole step right at the beginning, then the spot in m3-4 where what would be 5...

JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 1) - Blue Monk in minor

^ You are out-of-control. It's ok, it's a jam. Jackassery, discussion, and compromise is permitted. I didn't have any second thought about it sounding cool and being a cool idea. But if you...

JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 1) - Blue Monk in minor

Yeah but, Dm G7 is just C. The F is C too, it’s the IV not a key change. If you really digest and understand the basics, you can simplify a lot. All the arpeggios and chords in C major are C to...

Which pole screws did you have to adjust and which way? I found with my Loar, which has a retro fitted mini humbucker with screws, that I had to reduce the volume level of the top 2 high strings by...

Edit: No rag, I didn't choose it to 'find a minor blues to play' what are you talking about. I actually just thought it sounds good and was a cool idea.

Bobby - Before we get lost or go funny, I'm quite sure no one is saying they don't like Monk. That's not the point. The point is/was we're wondering why we don't just play a minor blues rather...

I have an early days PRS Custom 24. It was a wedding gift from my wife (how 'bout that, fellas?) and I like it a lot. In some ways, it is similar to my Sadowsky Jim Hall, oddly enough. The feel of...
