Quite rudimentary, but it is a place to start.

Actually, the open E would be the 13th. Chords are stacked intervals of a third. In this case, G (the root), then B (3rd), D (5th), F# (major 7th), A (9th), C (11th), E (13th). Playing open strings...
G 6/9, G chord minus the 3rd. The A is the 9th above the root, the E is the sixth. It sometimes works well with Swing/ Jazz settings.
I also put a little glue on the waxed cord after it's tied. It is not going to go anywhere and works quite well.
I only use a single rawhide cord, hangman's noose around scroll and then this (hopefully I can get this pic uploaded). Sorry it is blurred. The black is black waxed cord tied essentially the same as...
Here are a couple of things that were helpful to me in trying to sort out things minor beyond the natural minor scale and other diatonic minor modes (ii, iii, and vi (the natural minor). I'm no...
Count me in.
Interested. I've never seen one.
I have a all mahogany u-bass which doesn't have a built in pre-amp. I'm not sure whether they come with onboard preamp at present. So, I use a LR Baggs Para DI into a Carvin micro bass amp, MB-10. I...
I hadn't been aware that the tension of Thomastik strings is quite a bit less. J74's are 181.6 and the TI heavy is said to be 151.4. Those of you who have changed from J74's, should I assume that you...
Thanks Allen and all! Having spent some time with it I came to similar conclusions. As I typically lightly brush my right hand palm on the back of the bridge on my F5, once I started playing the B&D...
The string spacing is not the issue. I took this pic before I had had any work done on it. The neck reset is great, intonation is good. As it's new to me, and not knowing what it was intended to...
Trying to get acquainted with this critter. I had the neck reset and had a fiberSkyn head put on it. However, continue to get a lot of over tones that obscure the fundamentals, especially going up...
Here's a video..guess it's rather folky, so it would probably be considered folk jazz. The occasion was an open mic. We had worked up this song in honor of a local photographer who spends countless...
Thanks Jeff. I suspect that there probably other possible fingerings to get the job done.
Niles, Thanks for your posted exercise. Given you stated that they were 5 note patterns I assume that you...
Sorry, the fingerings didn't line up as I had them.
This made me curious. My understanding of the diagonal playing on guitar it that it lends itself to repeating the exact same fingering to the next higher octave. Generally, I think of scale finger...
What a nice gesture, that some one would simply give away sample picks. I contacted Chris after I saw this thread, I thought that perhaps the window would have closed, but not. I've been using the...
I spoke with John Doyle at a local small venue concert that he played with Liz Carroll, which was a stellar performance. He does play in drop D, but he also plays in some Bm type tuning and capos the...
Yeah, It appears to be much more of a guitar technique, than mandolin. I've been giving it some time to determine whether it is advantageous, and it may end up simply not worth the bother. It got my...
I have recently begun to practice my repertoire in the "economy" pickin' approach. After 40+ years of "alternate" pickin', I'm about 2 weeks into "economy" and I have found that it has in some...
Watch John McLaughlin's foot tapping. There's the beat he is feeling. Triple meter..1-2-3, 1-2-3.
Theoretically, seven modes are derived from a "parental" major scale. A mode simply determines a scale tone other than "Do" as home. The first "mode" is Ionian (Major scale), the one built on the...
