Did a couple of searches and couldn't find it. It may still be in some music stores tho. I can't imagine it would be out of print. Hope you can find it. Ron ...
This is an excerpt of a conversation I had with Ron about modes of the melodic minor. (Ron, glad to know I've helped you; you've helped me too). These ideas...
That slide started troubling me so you can play the notes from an F min at the eighth fret. Use the notes on the second third and fourth strings This is an...
Liam and I were talking about this tune. I've been updating what I used to play over some of the changes. In the past I'd pretty much play over the dm7b5 to...
Thanks for an interesting post Ron; I'm not quite sure about: "play over the dm7b5 to G7#5 as some C maj idea" I can't see that working. None of the important...
Need more biab tunes with melodies? Can't find the file you want? I recently helped a friend with this tip; thought I'd share it. If you can't find the tune...
