Thanks Lawson. Actually I didn’t really like this tune much at first, I wasn’t going to play it, but all the discussion made me tackle the challenge, and I grew to like it more. But I did feel I had...
Very intersting version of Bobby Watson ...29th Street Saxophone Quartet: Night Dreamer - YouTube
I have two that fit this category. Back in 1975, a friend ordered a brand new L5CESN. It was an early Norlin guitar, very nicely made during a relatively short period when Gibson had returned to...
The backing is about the only decent one on youtube, it’s from a channel called ‘M2’, I think someone said they make the Hal Crook tracks too. I don’t mind the loud piano, probably made me play with...
It's the backing track that Hal Leonard did to go with their updated Real Book series. Usually their tracks are based, sometimes loosely, on real performances. So "All of Me" is a direct clone of the...
Okay so now you have me wanting to learn the melody. It makes sense and sounds great the way you play it! That was a really helpful solo in focusing on the 4 chord centers you noted. So... I'm...
The first 4 chords is a kind of turnaround. Gmaj7 Bb7/Ebmaj7 D7 turnaround Gmaj7 Bb7/Ebmaj7 Abmaj or Gmaj7 Bb7/Ebmaj7 Ab7 Blues scale/pentatonicks works nice over turnaronds .Look a 2 last...
Thanks Jeff. I kept thinking about how Wayne plays those wailing notes, plus the backing track is quite forceful (I do not mind that, it’s like playing with McCoy Tyner bashing away next to you!),...
Cool, that looks pretty similar to the one I got. It looks nicely refurbished. @Ol' Fret I looked up Kurt Gropp Perlgold and found this: 1950s Pergold Kurt Gropp Showguitar (Archtop) -...
Great idea. This is kind of how I write my own little original songs that I play. As you said, it is rewarding to experience the chords that your ears prefer in regard to what the melody note...
Yes. There was one. My first partscaster tele. Unusual guitar. Chambered Chandler body, thin spruce top, Don Mare "Nancy" pickups. Gretsch orange. Neck p/u tone so beautiful I never switched p/us. ...
You've got sharp eyes :) That is likely a typo in key signature - I would expect to see one flat for a harmonic minor Dm (i) -> Gm (iv) -> A7(V) -> Dm(i). Ex.1 above has 3 flats for the same...
The other thing that perhaps changes things is how low in the ‘mix’ the piano is compared to the horns on those Blue Note albums*, so the pianists can really crash around and it sounds great. In fact...
