F6o over over Dmin7 can be thought of as two ways: - Harmonizing the scale by using inversions over the chord tones and passing diminished chords over the non-chord tones. - Tonicizing Dmin with...
Worth mentioning that I don’t think BH would’ve thought of this as tonicizing the ii chord (or IV). It would just be internal motion within the prevailing harmony. Alan and Christian could obviously...
Dear fellow 175 enthousiasts, A few days ago I decided to put a fresh set of Thomastik-Infeld JS112's on my guitar. I also took the time to (finally) fine tune the bridge, since after the 12th fret,...
Makes sense. Especially when descending, right? It would be the bIIIo -> ii motion in inversions.
Thanks for your suggestions. It seems to me that the Gibson ES 125TC I sold some time ago is the best option. Now they're too expensive. Time will tell.
Lastly, but not least, here's an interesting solo version by the man himself. It doesn't bear much resemblance to the tune as it now is but it's probably worth posting. ...
Tonicizing the ii, so not dorian. If you want to keep the voices moving when harmonizing the 6th degree I've found an aux dim works and sounds nice as it keeps the dim sonority (vi dim7). 6th...
Ah, grasshopper.... keep staring and chanting, "fifty nyun, fifty nyun, fifty nyun....." after an hour or two, the subtle mystery will reveal itself. Totally agree on the Collings thing. But I'm...
I've long been annoyed by the careless use of the "cover" label outside the music-biz context in which it made (music-biz) sense. My standard anecdote: more than 20 years ago, at an open mike where...

Ok, so I was actually in the process of coordinating sale of this PM20 with the seller. However, I backed out because the body shape is different from other PM20s I've seen. The PM20s I've seen look...
Looks like it depends on the version rather than the player: Benny Golson yes Sonny Rollins yes Sonny Stitt yes Kenny Burrell yes Milt Jackson/Benny Golson yes Tommy Flanagan soundalike...
Love my 335, but have to give credit to the original mystery plank for defying physics. A Tele can do ALMOST anything well, with the right amp and in the right hands. Like some sonic vortex portal of...
I love this tune but a lot of people play the real book version which , apart from not having that little melodic phrase , is inaccurately transcribed , listen to the rhythm of the first phrase , as...
