Hi there, Jazz and Latin mando pickers. I have just launched a free class for intermediate to advanced string players. Keys to Improvising. I hope people will find it helpful.
Happy...
I'm so impressed with this company.
I have a Corus seres III amp that I really like. I bought it used on e-bay 9 or 10 years ago. I like everything about it: sounds great for mandolin,...
Mando kicks it off. Best banjo solo EVER.
(I searched "atonal" and didn't see this. Apologies if it's already posted somewhere.)...
The plugin is from a 3rd party developer in Sweden. Evidently betting all his chips on Sibelius staying in business.
When I listen to the Sibelius Chamber sounds, mixed as good as I can get it...
For any Sibelius users (version 6 and later) there is a plugin called Note Performer.
Is anybody using this?
I just got the free trial. Cost is $129 USD. It came out in 2013. (!)
Attaching...
Sorry, I got carried away there. I almost went back to edit out most of that; but just ignore it.
What I should have said is just the two things: parallel minor and relative. Where the E major...
Been thinking about the original thread questions, while looking at a cool old tune.
I'm attaching a chart of chords only. So no copyright foul; the same exact chords are used in other songs.147631...
C major and A minor are related, but they don't always get along real well.
Look at some songs in the key of A minor. You will see some G sharps in the melody. That's because the 5 chord is E7....
When can one rename a tune? Here's an example that I love.
Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones, 1962. Original version was later used as the Austin Powers theme song. (Caution: this number can make...
I heard today's program in the car:http://performancetoday.publicradio.org
Didn't know that he was such a classical music nut. There was some tasty stuff he selected for listening. Also a lovely...
My uncle sent this the other day. Apologies if it's an old worn-out joke; it was new to me and I laughed a good bit.
A woman is on trial for beating her husband to death with his guitar...
Delightful!
Some of the variations in Corelli's La Follia: total arpeggiorama in d minor.

It used to be called "back cycling." Circle of fifths arriving at your home key, like the bridge of I Got Rhythm and most other Rhythm Changes tunes. Take Oleo, for example:

I've noticed the same thing in my own learning. If I have to scramble, it comes faster.
Delightful! What am I hearing in the Soundcloud file? Is that a Sibelius rendering of the score? It seems "too perfect" to be live audio.
Thanks for making parts available. This piece makes me...
I've read both threads with interest. I'm a music teacher, and I love harmony. It's a whole world; it's worlds within worlds.
It seems as though you can tell when notes "don't fit." So maybe you...
This cartoon from the March New Yorker.
How can he play that bass groove, stay locked with the metronome, and talk at the same time!
Try doing that, even with the simplest thing you know how to play. Start playing, and then try to speak...
I just made some violin videos about this very thing! Not for speed so much as rhythmic feel: quarter notes, then quarter note triplets, then straight eighths, swing eighths, then eighth note...
I need one of these before I boost my volume:

I replace the dead battery. Is that wrong?
Not trying to be snarky here...
If you haven't already ordered monitors, check out Equator D5's.
I have a pair of these at home, and they compare very favorably with the Yamaha MSP5's I use at work; but at a much lower price....
Great sounding tracks, John. Nice lines on Memories, I want to redo mine.
This morning's effort: http://snd.sc/15eYdsl
I am going to miss the class, and the weekly video lecture/demos. It...
