It's the G I got wrong, should be F#: A B C D Eb F F# G#/Ab That's an A dim scale. I believe, anyway. I can see why folks don't care for dim scales. As I said before, never liked them myself.

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

Not my flavor but alright. Thats because that Abo7 is in there by way of the Bo7. It’s almost like you would benefit from listening to other people or watching Christian’s video another time or...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

My simple approach if you'll bear with me. I've picked S'wonderful as an example in Eb major. First and 2nd 8 start: Eb % Edim7 % So I think C7b9 for the Edim7 and that takes...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

All I know is it sounded okay on the chord :-)

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

It's a lie, they actually recorded it with the Manchester Mellotron Festival Orchestra.

What are these chords

Goodness gracious. No indeed. You have two consecutive whole steps between Eb-F and F-G. So it’s not a symmetrical diminished scale. For what it’s worth, I believe it’s a C harmonic minor...

You're the 2nd one on this thread to mention the Classic 57's for a semi-hollow. This sounds like the ticket.

Right, never mind the writing it down. There's a clip there. No.4 over Abo is B C D Eb F G Ab. I played that. What's that? As far as I know it's an A dim scale starting on the B.

The authors are anonymous, and the publisher (Hal Leonard) doesn't guarantee accuracy - which is actually rather weird.

Getting Transcriptions Wrong

Man, I think you're arguing about a discussion you don't have a handle on. Not correct. A harmonic minor over G#o7 is not an 8-note half-whole scale. Your F# is out of place there. G# A B...

Anyone here can suss that out. Duh. The point that others are making here, a lot more frequently now, is that this JGF thread was not conceived as a satellite dispensary link for sales listed...

Last January I bought a 2021 335 dot. Really love the guitar. It replaced an Ibanez JSM10. It had the calibrated T top pickups, which I liked for a while, but changed them for classic 57’s. It really...

Incidentally, I tested out what I was saying. I didn't make mistakes playing it, only writing it down. Writers need editors! The first bars of Corcovado because it's got the Abo in it: Am6 -...

I wrote a lengthy post on this thread last week. But it got lost after I tried to post it. Heartbroken. Yeah and I haven’t gone through the thread, so apologies. I was mentored by my cousin Charles...

Peter - Quite right, it's easy to make mistakes with this stuff. I've corrected it. A harmonic over Abo and Ab A B C D Eb F F# (8-note H-W scale). I don't disagree that Christian has...
