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.
Silly me, I should certainly know better. It has a few of his compositions but obviously not that one.
Thanks for the correction, I'll crawl back in my hole now...

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...
I don't think you have to learn anything, you just need to play something. If it sounds good, that's good enough. Everybody's so frightened of everything!
Last night I wrote out a very diatonic AABA progression in C and noodled over it a few times without really thinking, just as it came out. Fact is, I never hit a single avoid note. No F's over C, or...
LaBella Jazz Flats on all my electrics. Man, I love a good flat wound string and will never go back to roundwounds. Better, more even sounding chords and still plenty of snap off the LaBellas on the...
As far as how to play it, the A section is basically a bunch of ii-Vs which move around (with a lot of those chromatic little shifts that Benny likes). So chunk it into ii-Vs and work on it like...
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...
