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.
If we're playing a turnaround in C, and I play blues stuff, and the pianist plays those chords, it'll sound good.
If I play C major and G altered, it'll sound good.
If I play Ab7#11 and Galt,...
I was thinking of latency correction applied to the metronome function I mentioned, which would be possible. Indeed, you can't shift streamed audio back in time (you'd need to predict notes that...
Isn't it?

Yes, well, there's tension and there's tension, i.e. making a mess of it. If the pianist is playing...
ps - for a cheaper, and more widely available, alternative: you could take a look at the DV Mark Jazz or Little Jazz. It is a bit of step down quality-wise, in my view and experience, from the Mambo...
I'm a big fan and saw him back in the day at the Village Vanguard in NY. I was amazed by his circular breathing technique and playing nose flute. I even named my cat after him!
Realistically, this isn't really how improvising and chord embellishment works. We often have tension between all the passing chords the band is playing and what the soloist is playing, rather than...
Howard Rees told me of Kirk playing at the Colonial in Toronto and there was an obnoxious drunk blathering on while Kirk was soloing. Kirk gets off the stage, wades through the tables, blind and...
Then try to ask yourself how much you'd expect an unbranded mass-produced guitar-shaped box made of pressed laminate plates with a mass-produced PU to cost?
I think all three of the platforms I use have a metronome function that sends a synchronized click. That works ok but you lose the normal time feel of a good drummer. I doubt that they do any kind of...
Welcome - both to the forum and the world of jazz guitar!
I am also based in the UK and I have experience of both Mambo and Henriksen amps. Both are great, in my book.
I wouldn't say that...
The point of amps like Henriksen and Mambo is they are portable, well built and sound good in loud, live settings, especially with archtops and acoustic instruments.
If you are at a stage where...
Used Henriksen or Mambo amp
