No, I´m not saying that it is unnecessary. My problem is with NAMES. Vim7 is one thing and aeolian is other thing. IIIm7 is one thing and phrygian is other thing.
Fusion style Legato 2-1-2 style over a ii-v-1 progression v.4, altered dominant, lydian This is version 4 of the legato ii-v-i series. Performed on a kiesel zeus with a fractal audio utilizing...
Its not clear to me how this process is different than all the things you’re saying are wrong. You just don’t like the Greek mode names?
Oh dude, turns out you are a chord-scale junkie like me. You just don't like the Greek names (but then who does?).
There seems to be broadly speaking two camps when it comes to learning to play the changes: o The chord shapes and licks approach (that no doubt produced many great players). o Maniacal mastery...
Yes, of course, I use the parallel approach most of time. If I'm playing over the Vim7 (for instance) I will normally play 1,2,b3,4,5,b6,b7, where 1,b3,5,b7 are basic chord tones, 9 and 11 could be...
ES-150 DCN: I had one back in the '70's. Yes, it had a narrow neck - probably a 1-9/16" nut - but I don't recall ever actually measuring it. It was sort of like a fat hollow ES-330. That's all I...
Im going to take Christian’s figured bass explanations and formulate it into a question: If figured bass and species counterpoint and voiceleading had been figured out long ago when theorists...
1. Not as much as I should have 2. Every day 3. Not a full solo, but I've composed lines over a ii-V-I progression
Sorry for an indirect answer…but I have found my answer to be…learn the melody and then alter and expand upon it. There is the basic concept of 7th moving to 3rd of next chord and the idea that...
How much transcribing/copping things from recordings have you done? How much jazz do you listen to? Have you ever tried composing a solo over a jazz tune?
I don't know, I don't do that. I go by the chord, then what scale you want to use is secondary. I guess it could be helpful in describing a tonality because there's a complete amount of notes. I...
The last one I tried (several years ago) had a noticeably slim neck. I didn't measure it at the time, I remember noticing how narrow the string spacing felt. Some online specs say they have 1-9/16"...
There are actually three ways to view a functional tune, not two. Parallel, derivative and the key signature view. In the third case (I made up the name but it intuitively exists), you view the...
