a volatile individual. Not too long back he didn`t show to a masterclass because he had a row with Hofner. Will Sorry, I got that wrong - I meant to say it is not entirely non-acrimonious i.e. there *does* appear to be at least some acrimony, unfortunately.

The Overtone series, Root Definitive Intervals, and how these forces led to
the evolution of the Key Structure, are the result of nature. Mankind, did not create this. It's NOT an intellectually formulated "concept". Like air, Fire, earth, and water, it just is. All of the stuff we have today that's been denigrated to the level of mere verbal "formulas" and yakity yaked about on that "surface" level evolved from it. In my teaching, I've always tried to work from the true source of music. I was lucky to have two things; an excellent ear, and Grant Fletcher my composition teacher at Arizona State. As his students, we promised him we would pass the realizations he gave us along to others. Throughout my life, I've kept that promise, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Terry, a response like this makes me feel like my efforts have been worth while. Dave From: jazz_guitar@...

It's beginning to look very promising to me as a teaching/learning tool. I read today about the origins of the key structure based on naturally occurring harmonics. This was new to me, and very nice to know. I'm looking forward to using the basic key positions as jump off points for arps and scales and melodic ideas. I like the way you imbed everything within these key positions. I've heard you many times alluding to this, but now it's getting "up close and personal".

That "you" is both singularHow about the word "love"?! The money is definitely in the music, not the plastic. But you are right - record companies were brought up on charges of price-fixing in the 70's, but that didn't stop them. Paul is no business slouch; nor was John Lennon (or especially Yoko Ono!). I think that Europe has a standard fee for playing cover tunes, to be played by the club. The cover tunes they recorded and released (including those with Tony Sheriden and the Live recording from Germany) were not royalty free, I'm sure. And for those interested, read the story of how much Phil Spector had to pay the musicians in England when he was producing the Beatles, and tried to make them play extra parts for free. As he was told, "Ya don't get away with that shit here in Britain." best, Bobby |

but there's just no substitute for personal,
in-the-room instruction, period.I think TrueFire courses come pretty darn close. And if you can get some personal, one-on-one instruction via the 'net, that's great, too. Not everyone has a good jazz teacher living just down (or up. ;) ) the road, as I'm sure you know. Jeff |
Easy Chord Melody
I've just launched a new site for easy jazz chord melody www.chordmelody.ca that uses basic jazz chord voicings and added melody. There's a free arrangement for Satin Doll with a performance video and 2 video lessons.
I struggled a lot with difficult chord melody arrangements and found that over the years I could barely play any songs completely from beginning to end due to trouble spots. So these are a basic framework for you to expand upon over time with added chords, reharmonizations, etc but please try to learn these basic arrangements first. Hope you will find these fun and useful in your studies. Will www.chordmelody.ca |
Re: Commentary: T. Bone Burnett: ¡°don't put your music on the internet¡±
Hi Jay,
Youtube is just another performance venue in which cover material isMy point exactly. It cannot be an overwhelming task for ASCAP, BMI, &c. to monitor what's being broadcast over the Internet. Then a royalty PER HIT could and should be applied. If the huge geek companies don't want to make a buck off of it themselves by paying the fee, then so-be-it. Except in this case, the performer becomes the publisher.It has never been the performers' responsibility to pay royalties for publicthose posting The risk of offering_original_ music for download - assuming the artistAgain, my point exactly. If someone feels himself to be a great "giver", then let him count the cost for a change by putting his own stuff out there and feeling the sting of "plays for free" himself. Why should legit copyright owners have to take the huge hit in income just because someone else is feeling generous with their materials? In short, if ya wanna be a hippie, that's fine, but give away your stuff, not someone else's. Why so musicians don't seem to get this most basic fact is beyond me. If I pick-pocket them to give their wallets to the homeless does that me a hero? best, Bobby |
Re: Demise of Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute
im gonna go ahead and take a wild guess here.
Jimmy B.'s site is not shutting down b-cuz of lack of subcriptions. its shutting down b-cuz hes gotten into a hassle with the other partners who own a piece of the site. itll be back under new mangement (or something that equates to new management). |

I don't believe that you are. I may have gone off on a rant about people, in general, who are, but I didn't single you out. That "you" is both singular and plural is one of the things in the English language that really needs re-working. :-) It's about the musicAgreed, both sides are hanging on to a business model that is no longer viable. Free vs. Exorbitant is what the conflict is. I can get blank CD's for free (with rebates), yet the record companies still want $15-20, while you can get DVD's of a $30 million movie for close to the same price. Does not compute... Greed is NOT good, for either party. One responder to the video mentioned that the money is in the merchandise, not the music. It's true of sports, why not music...? I have a friend who is an artist. He still has a rotary phone. He schlepsHe is very anachronistichis paintings around the Eastern seaboard to these "art/crafts shows"his He's got chops, but I can't relate to his art. To me it's calendar art. He used to do very interesting stuff, but then changed to a style he thought would sell better. I think he made a wrong choice, but it was his choice to make. My point about the Chinese is that he was using that as an excuse to avoid getting involved with the internet, which he has a fear of... The Chinese would not bother copying his stuff because it is not original enough... Thanks to Brian Epstein. Most musicians don't know how to rep and promoteThey didn't get rich by being stupid, or by letting themselves getOn that note, Beatle recordings have been once again refused to Apple. themselves. I'm wondering how much the Beatles payed to those writers of tunes they covered in the beginning of their careers...? |

That's unfortunate! I'm a member over there.
I guess I'd better try and whip through as much content as possible, before the end date. By the way, there are browser plugins easily found that allow you to save and name streaming content, like flash video. Chris |
Re: Commentary: T. Bone Burnett: " don't put your music on the internet"
Chris Smart
What I don't get about the Beatles material is this - what difference does it make if their stuff is available on iTunes? I downloaded the new remasters as soon as they came out, through a bit torrent site. It's all out there free already, if people are willing to dig, at least more popular stuff is.
That seems to be the only good situation, if you are obscure enough that nobody bothers to pirate your stuff online. Once you get big enough for that to happen, I bet profits from legitimate sales drop precipitously. Chris |

Re: iReal Book Update - Ipod touch?
Listers,
I got my iRealBook app for my iPhone. Very nice, indeed. I answered my own question as to how to make it sound better for accompaniment. I plugged it into my little Line 6 Spider IV, which happens to have an input for CD, and it works great. Now I will try loading a tune from it into GarageBand and see if I can tweek the piano a bit to make it sound less midi. Terry |
