Just a little aside here...... Beatles songs have stood the test of time, been played in every style from jazz to classical for the last 40 yrs. Songs like...
Hi Yoni, for me, quartal harmony in a context like this involves movement of the quartal voicing. If you take the Am7 chord (it's the key of G, btw) and...
sorry - i meant autumn leaves in the key of G! not C [this could have generated a lot of confusion].... apologies yon. [Non-text portions of this message have...
Hi Al Well there's a lot you can do by just finding another position to play in. You're right, there's something very natural about the writing in those,...
i must say peter - you are such an asset to this forum of jazz guitarists [and true wannabes such as myself!] truly thanks for that clear, concise reply! all...
i would say you need to devote a lot of time to practicing with a metronome. Part of my daily practice is exercises that i just lump into a block of like...
Glad to hear someone else has found the La Patrie Etude a fine instrument. And for around $300. I'd tried several nylon string guitars, most in the $800-900...
I'm not sure what PAF stands for exactly, but I thought it referred to low output humbuckers. PAF stands for "Patent Applied For". They are generally not...

How would you compare the DeArmond Gold Tone humbucker with the Gibson PAF humbucker for use on a hollow-body? Would you say that the DeArmond is okay for...
I once looked up the patent number that was printed on the back of a pickup and found that it was a patent for a tailpiece! Does anybody know the details of...
You're most welcome!! Glad to be able to help. One additional thing I forgot to bring your attention to as far as choosing the "appropriate" quartal voicings...

I have a question for you. Your recording sounded tense and nervous last night. Is that how you remember feeling when you were playing? I really think your...

Myles, "......but, my playing just sounds so tense and nervous". You may have identified the problem yourself. Are you tense and nervous when you play (maybe...
Hi, Forgive me for bringing this up yet again, but I'm still struggling to get a good sound from my new Godin Multiac Nylon. It feeds back at low volumes with...
