He does talk about it for the scale outlines but that’s to get the sound in your ear. The rules themselves communicate the emphasis. BH — if you start on, say, the 6 of a dominant chord, then you...
Applies only to the dominant scales (aka "mixolydian" to Berklee-oids). For major and minor (melodic minor ascending version for ascending and descending, sometimes called "jazz minor") the most...
A passing note in my understanding is a note located pitch-wise between two notes. Which happens with Dave Baker's one chromatic passing tone in his bebop scales. In Barry's teaching not the pitch is...
He does indeed. The expression I used ("rhythmically correct") comes from one of the ca. 50 videos from master classes at the Royal Conservatory at The Hague recorded by Frans Elsen, don't ask me...
That. I have some scans of real "original vocal / piano sheet music" somewhere (like they where sold originally, one song on a few pages with a color front page sold for a few cents and not a...
Not so sure about that, in the article it said: "In the United States alone, approximately 1.85 million acoustic guitars were sold in 2021, representing around 55% of all guitars sold that year." -...
Because the 7 and 8 throw it off. Playing it for the second octave (or playing it starting anywhere but the root) and you end up switching to chord tones on the upbeats after the octave. 1 (2)...
Makes me wonder what percentage of the global consumption of wood is attributable to guitar-building, both aggregated and broken out by species, by type of guitar, and what the breakdown is for the...
First take, still trying to figure out my old Zoom recorder - and where did my favorite pick go?! (I play with a plectrum so can't use the broken nail alibi). I played the entire tune with intro and...
This link has a set of original changes for I Got Rhythm. They look different from the set of changes Dick Hyman cites. I’ll have to look it up when I get a chance. I remember a chromatic climb up...
What do you mean by "the Barry Harris scale"? If you mean the scales with the added chromatic "extra notes", those were taught descending. Then you need those extra notes to make them "rhythmically...
John A is they. As he said Regga. Also, like Ipanema covering Latin for most people. The only Raga you need to know would be Within You Without You.
Well, excu-u-se me! I am so sorry that some of you are so thin-skinned and/or insecure that you cannot take a little ribbing! Those who were paying attention would have noticed that my comments...
This looks like a recycled hand-engraved original vocal/piano score. The chord symbols / guitar grips were possibly added later. Most important for analysis is what is written in the piano...
