Someone showed me those AI programs, like Suno. They do a style of tune, like jazz, and generate a progression. Chord progressions aren't copyright so they don't really do solos, rather they...
I've always used a contour gauge to guide and check progress. These are inexpensive (about $10) simple devices with a line of sliding fingers in a row. Gently press one edge against the surface...
I don't know, it's hard to understand to what extend our relationship to art is shaped by our perception of it being a culturally significant activity. There is a big element of art that is striving...

I've used this Barney Kessel riff before. From what I could tell, Jim Hall threw away the changes and played something else, except for the bridge on The Bridge, that was standard comping, to me. ...
