Here's mine. As usual, I didn't know this one before. I wasn't going to post, but I listened to it today and I didn't hate it as much as I did last nite. And hopefully I'll continue with it during the month and improve.
Oh, that was better, sounds more thought-out. Familiarity with the tune helps, of course. No one's that good the first time. The blues sounds were good, suits the tune, I think.
Out of curiosity, what were the Garrison Fewell tips you were using, roughly? Not that I want to copy them or anything but for interest's sake.
It's one of the study threads in the Improvisation forum. It's to do with triads w/extensions to create lines. It's something I've been interested in for awhile now, but never found anything I seemed to "get". His book "A Melodic Approach" looked good and has really made sense to me so far.
I'm finding the same thing to be true. I find a guitar with so many specs I love and then I ask for neck specs (or look them up) only to see tons of people saying such and such guitar has a thin...

Stablemates is not on Moanin’, perhaps you were thinking of Along Came Betty which is on the album.
Incidentally I recently got the Sher Music Benny Golson songbook (which says it uses Benny’s own...

Well, the first thing I was ever aware of was show tunes, which my mother played at home – early Rodgers & Hammerstein stuff. And I heard a lot of hymns at school. Then...
My awful confession does involve banjos.... In my defense it started innocently playing with finger picking my ancient (WW1 ?) tenor. My rationalization was it is good finger stretching exercise for...
Thanks man, I'm not consciously using rest strokes if that's what I'm doing haha.
I should dig back into this one and analyze it, I'm can't remember what polytonal subs he's using here. In general...
