This is sad news. Roland was a dear friend and was a joy to be around. He was always fun to jam with and made everyone in the jam feel like they were a star. I saw the character of Roland when he...

Hey all y’all, it’s been awhile, I put down a non refundable deposit on an Apiteus and lost it when I had to cancel due to COVID furloughs. After I got back on my feet financial I went back to the...

hello again Bhiyao,
Yes go for the chords. Here's a couple tips that may help:
The challenge in chordal rhythmic accompaniment is not the formation of a new chord--we look at a...

general tips that might move things along:

No matter what you're working on(scales/arppegios, melodies, transcriptions, chords, chord-melodies) try to keep track of how it sounds, how it feels,...

I second CarlM's advice, and Victor Daniel's. I've been obsessing over this lately. A few thoughts: Andrew Collins told me (and he tells everybody) to embrace sucking. The only way to get good is to...
