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.
My 2 cents: I have tried a lot of ear training in different sauces
Ear master pro: good but not great
Complete ear trainer: 5 euro smartphone app that is a game changer. try it.

So a "songwriter" is someone that write lyrics, like Homer the ancient Greek? or Lil' Wayne the rapper perhaps?
-Where's the subsection for poetry? Composition is about music, no?
We've got a...
You want to know and be able to use both. The diatonic notes to the key center; and what scales you can use over a chord that would fit the chord and context, but would contain outside notes from...
Both. Shell voicings are most commonly played on the E D and G strings, or the A D and G. R73, and R37 respectively. When you get to a voicing with the root on the A string, you can swap out the root...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
F Dorian and C Aeolian contain the same notes. Wherever you read to do that over the tune (or any other) go ahead and close the tab.
A mode also can start on any note, it’s about...
Sorry, I'm trying to learn to play jazz. I'm pretty weak on theory.
So in Blue Bossa, the first chord is Cm7 then Fm7. I should play Aeolian (the sixth mode of Eb and the first mode of Cm) over...
