Jazz Devil I always talk about artists that have passes as if they are still with us, in my mind they still are.

Jim that's great the legacy continues in your mind :)

Cosmically speaking, we are all dead far sooner than later.

Acute tendonitis took him away from us far too soon.

+Mick Mack - Wtf does "Cosmically speaking" mean?

pherick niartallagh , I recently picked up a Kala tenor with a low g string... Awesome suggestion. The low g introduces the same issue of b9 intervals we face as guitarists, but brilliantly forces us to come to terms with the same, imho.

Ted Green's Book on Modern Chord Progressions was the best I ever bought. I fought through every progression in that book for 3 months till I could play through that whole book in 30 minutes. Zero tinnitus. I can also learned to fret 2 strings with my pinky .

Of course! She loves to crash my videos :)

Get his book, knowledge invaluable

tangobayus hahaha not a bad idea

I have tried that, doesn't seem to have a good resonance on the instrument.

I've tried all 4ths, which makes the guitar symmetrical both across and up and down the fretboard. Currently having fun with open D tuning.

kim young I found everything so easy. No fight to play those chords.

@tangobayus - P4 is great for leads/solos, but for those non-regular-guitar-sounding-"closed" chords M3 is much more convenient...

Thanks Jorge! You can always donate to my channel on my website or by my book if you want to contribute to the cause.

Never too late, my friend!! Enjoy the ride!!! I sure have for the past 31 years!!!

Glad you discovered him at all. Allan was an amazing player and musician.

Haha, Layla walks in during every video! She doesn't care and it cracks me up to see he in the background walking around :)

Adorable! :)

It’s so much easier to read on though. To me, reading and playing standard notation on guitar can be hellish.

@@tomcoryell this is true, I’m starting to unlock the piano a little and the really great thing is you learn one scale position and that’s the entire piano so that’s a huge plus!!!! It just tripped me up that all major 7th chords Werner the same like guitar 🤣

Drop 2 and 3 chords are rudimentary to the Barry Harris 6th Diminished Chord Movement System.

welp as a guitarist i cant imagine playing drums, i once tried, it went bad, i'm staying with my les paul and my friend's bass

But it really isn't😊👍

Put the guitar on your Lap and tap the strings and you will realise that’s more or less how Eddie Van Halen, being a piano player figured out the tapping, and as a drummer do it with an 8 string guitar and you can build up some really interesting percussive rhythm, tune the guitar to a chord so that the open strings are always in tune, and also you can use a slide, I play all three and a Trumpet never really studied or practiced keyboard but for some reason I can play it, probably because I started guitar mainly improvising from the beginning so when people can’t compare what you are playing to something they know the can’t criticise the skill as much, when I was married I went to a dinner party at my wife’s cousins house, the had a Grand Piano in the living room and I was just mucking around with the C blues scale, and because of the flat 7 and the Flat 5, and the flat 6 if you go full minor, and the major/minor tonality of blues you can play a C5 and add just about any black key into that depending on the timing of course but anyway house full of musicians and a guitarist tried to say, “what are you trying to play?” I just said “nothing just making stuff up, I only know one key”to which he just sat there looking confused shaking his head muttering “one key?”. I realised later that, especially using pentatonic scales it’s very easy to modulate to the relative minor when you use like a C7 which technically is dominant but talking about blues where the 1,4,5 can all be dominant and you can play minor pentatonic and major pentatonic and you can modulate through different tonal centres because blues technically doesn’t follow standard western music theory, it’s actually this that led to Jazz because if instead of looking at say a 12 bar blues in C where you can play C7 F7 and E7, you instead view them all as the 5th chord of a major scale, or anywhere else a natural dominant chord forms you start to realise how the tonal centre can shift around naturally my approach to theory is more or less, major and minor scales and chromatic scale and that covers everything the key to it all is the timing.

It is. Back problems, neck problems, sore fingers. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Because it is)
