    Re: What mode is this?

    In jazz standards you will often find the iim7b5 V7b9 progression. The harmonic minor scale is what produces those chords, hence the scale to use to improvise on those changes. The chords of an A...

    Re: Mandolin chords

    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...

    Re: Mandolin chords

    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.

    Re: Just made a strap!!!

    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.

    Re: Minor Key/Minor Chord Improvisation

    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...

    Re: ubass amplifier?

    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...

    Re: D'addario: Flat Top vs. Flat Wound

    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...

    Re: B&D mandolin banjo

    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...

    Re: B&D mandolin banjo

    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...

    Re: Diagonal Scales

    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...

    Re: Difference A Mixolydin and D Major ?

    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...
