Whilst I think he is a great player I suspect he is quite
a volatile individual.

Not too long back he didn`t show to a masterclass because he had a row with Hofner.

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 Woods,
I'm now getting around more in your site. 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".
Thank you for all your work and for sharing it with us.

How about the word "love"?!

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...?

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.

Thanks to Brian Epstein. Most musicians don't know how to rep and promote
themselves.

Paul is no business slouch; nor was John Lennon (or especially Yoko Ono!).

I'm wondering how much the Beatles payed to those writers of tunes they
covered in the beginning of their careers...?

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.

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.

It was great that Jimmy was able to respond to student video submissions. Sounds like a new site will be forthcoming.

Hi Jay,

Youtube is just another performance venue in which cover material is
presented. It's no different in that regard from a night club or broadcast
radio station. I don't see why the same principle can't be applied to
royalty payments as applies to radio stations and live performance venues.

My 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.

those posting
covers are stealing the works of others.

It has never been the performers' responsibility to pay royalties for public
performances of cover tunes. That responsibility falls to the venue.

Except in this case, the performer becomes the publisher.

The risk of offering_original_ music for download - assuming the artist
intends to generate a revenue stream from it - is huge. I believe that
whoever makes decisions re: Beatles music is doing the only sensible thing
in that regard. OTOH, the mechanism for compensating the holders of
publishing rights for_cover_ tunes has been in place for many years. Why
that mechanism has not been applied to youtube and the like is an open
question.

Again, 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

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).

Now I will try loading a tune from it into GarageBand and see if I can

Midi has no sound...

Hi Angelo,

The internet is not a fad. They thought
that about radio, movies, the "talkies"...&c.

It's not about the Internet being a fad, and I'm not adverse to new
technologies, as you've suggested in the past.

Bobby, I don't remember accusing you of being adverse to new technologies. 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 music
business, and whether or not competing with "free" is advantageous or
not. Because of the way the way the musicians, unions, courts, and every
one else involved have treated so many businesses, most of all that of
music, I think that at least for now it has failed to deliver on its
promise for a better future for all involved.

I think the answer does lie with the Internet, but not the way it's
being handled now.

Agreed, 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

I have a friend who is an artist. He still has a rotary phone. He schleps

his paintings around the Eastern seaboard to these "art/crafts shows"
and is
always complaining about how little he makes.
I tell him to get a web site so that people all over the world can
view his
work. He counters that Chinese painters will steal his work. Trust me,

his

stuff isn't that original that they would want to steal it. Everybody he
knows tells him he needs to be on the web. Still he schleps...
I cannot suffer Luddites...

You've said at least 3 different things in that paragraph. Is it that
he's anachronistic, that he's mediocre, or that the Chinese will really
steal his art?

He is very anachronistic
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...

On that note, Beatle recordings have been once again refused to Apple.
Real dumb guys, those Beatles. They'll never make it...

They don't need to be smart. They're rich :-)

They didn't get rich by being stupid, or by letting themselves get
ripped off.

Thanks to Brian Epstein. Most musicians don't know how to rep and promote

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

Thanks for that article - going on my facebook page.

I'm assuming that by deminished, people mean lines derived from the half-whole and whole-half symetrical scales?

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.

I notice that Andreas Oberg (sp?) and Martin ? (the fingerstyle guitarist) are attemting to set up their own versions of a very similar enterprise.I hope they fare better.

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. (All that previous drilling in English classes long ago preventing me from using a sort of double negative when one was intended),
