Howdy WNers!
Man, it's been a long time since I've visited the site, and wow it's changed...I never thought it would get an update. Having contributed quite a bit in the early years, I'm happy to see it's still alive and kicking!
Mitigating ci...(more)

Howdy Y'all,
Don't know if this helps, but when I first started incorporating double-stop 6ths in my playing, I used to just associate these little movements with either a major, minor, or dominant chord by finding their roots, 3rd, 5ths, or 7t...(more)

Congrats on getting in the home recording game Warren...hopefully your not married as you'll be sure to be spending many long hours in your mancave.
I myself use Pro Tools, but I've used Cubase in the past. It's a bit complicated to look at, bu...(more)

Thanks for the feedback Ken...just not sure if the pre-verse/pre-chorus sections are working...I think the backround vocal ideas there are good ("Lose my place, time and space, etc.) and maybe it's just poor execution that's bothering me (poor n...(more)

Had the band recorded for this for over a decade...in fact, it was
my first submission to WN (as an instrumental) when I first
joined here.
Well, out of the blue, I get an idea for this old tune and decide to
dig it out and lay down the voca...(more)

Extending the chords to 7ths definitely reveals even more similarities...
C E G B
E G B D
A C E G
However, although all these chords can substitute for one another, their relationship to the bass determines their harmonic effect. They only fun...(more)

I think it's important to know the distinction between what a
chord substitution is and what reharmonizations are, and
understanding both can certainly make one a better player. Both
are deep topics, and both have different, but major implica...(more)

Just a comment about chord substitution.
To my knowledge, a chord "substitution", by definition, is substituting one chord for another which shares at least two common chord tones.
Any other harmonic device is technically a "reharmonization". ...(more)

I think Randy was saying that the rhythmic emphasis is on 2 and
4...the chords do usually change on the 1st or 3rd beats of the
measure. Its very common in jazz to play a line that resolves to a
strong chord tone on 1 or 3....right when the c...(more)

Howdy folks,
Took a long foray into Bass for awhile (flame on!), but recently
played a gig at a popular Jazz club in NJ called Trumpets on
guitar...thought I'd post a video clip to let you all know I'm still
trying to burn on guitar!

I feel your pretty off base here Adriano, especially in your defense of BP. I think your comments ares misguided and insensitive.
Never forget that BP has a ton of self interest in reclaiming the oil, not just saving their public relations. It'...(more)
