Re: 9 year old is into Joe Pass

I have never seem Amadeus but if anybody wants
to see a great film about Liszt then I suggest
"Song Without End" which is pretty true to the truth
and also has some fabulous musical performances.

That guitar was a recent nutty Gibson offering of
a reverse flying V. When I saw it released I wondered about
the sanity of some of their current design department.

Will


He really plays well, but I wonder what else is going on there... That
guitar is ridiculous!

great post - -not to start a clapton thread, but the disraeli gears
album is pure Albert Lee knockoff; when i discovered that years ago,
i was stunned at how much it was the case - especially since i had
never heard any rock stars talking about albert lee, but there it
was, clear as a mimicked bird call, on a hit album.
Do you really mean Albert Lee? Or are you referencing Albert King?

You forget, my friend, that I gave up on tv in 1983. I don't know who
Myley Cyrus or her dad are. Did you happen to look at Susana Raya
yesterday on utube. She kinda sounds like Madeleine Peyroux when she
sings and plays nice lines, good comping as well. And she's a serious
babe!

Hi Ron,
Gee that's funny, they called it the Censorship bill in the subject

Rumour Mill News, who agrees with you, btw, calls it that. What it's
called, though, is

The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA)
Ain't it funny how words can be twisted around by our oh,so truthful

Oh yea, never heard of rumor mill news tho. But spin is the game

Re: child prodigies

 

I could barely sit through that movie Amadeus. It was incredibly bad and I am sure there are those that believe that the portrayal of Mozart in that movie is accurate. Actually promotion for the movie claimed the portrayal was based on recent documents discovered about Mozart but nowhere did they ever tell you what documents or where you could read tem for yourself. I think I've read everything available on Mozart at one time but I never read anywhere that he was the idiot portrayed in the movie. It was otherwise an expensive well produced film that could have been wonderful except for the absurd depiction of Mozart.

However his gambling inclinations and a penchant for living beyond his means are well known.

Incredible where he is buried is still unknown as far as I know.

Yes, i guess you're right, although i was thinking emtional / intelectual
development. Mozart himself developed his talent to a standard we're all
familiar with, but was nonetheless considered � ¢Â«incompetent� ¢Â» in what came to be
the management of a musical career and quite unsuccessful in coping with

Actually, that's really mostly fiction perpetrated by the movie Amadeus. In truth, Mozart was quite successful as a musician. His financial problems were likely due a gambling habit. He also wasn't the giggling idiot Tom Hulse portrayed him as.

There's a bunch of faceless political assistants fucking everything up right
now on every issue, and as long as the American people want to just "lay in
the cut", rather than get involved, it's always going to be this way.


In principle I agree with this. The problem is in the expectation that
musicians should be expected to take the financial "hit" to protect the
"free speech" of the thieves (by "free", I guess they mean that they
don't have to pay for it - it has absolutely nothing to do with
Constitutional Law), and to do so graciously.

Dave Woods

I agree with bobby entirely with this. Musicians have had to "bend over"
long enough, and for what?


The problem, then, is where to draw the line.

Dave Woods

Everybody's afraid that change is going to happen, or it's not going to
happen soon enough. Why do a soft shoe while we "pussy" foot through the
dog pound. PASS the God damned thing. Change has to come first before
lines can begin being drawn. Right now we can argue about
what?.....nothing. Draw a line about what?.......nothing.

Let em' come after me and sensor my foul mouthed Emails..........I don't
give a F#%K!!

The problem, then, is where to draw the line. What is an acceptable trade-off of rights. The American people seem all too willing to allow meaningless strip searches in airports and 4th Amendment violations of their rights in subways, trains, banks, and soon probably fast-food restaurants, but to protect real copyright ownership they have a problem. The real problem is not the rights of these thieves, but the fact that they are thieves in the first place. If people could be trusted not to steal, then all of our laws regarding theft would be unnecessary. It would be nice to think you'll never be robbed, but I'm guessing that you are not taking the locks off of your doors anytime soon.

Bobby

Someone asked which Wes phrase I played in the workshop. Here's a link to video of "Windy" It's not exactly the same as what he plays on the record...

It's the first solo, around 1:31, a pentatonic run played in octaves. I don't use my thumb to make the whole thing, like Wes, I do a kind of modified "Travis" picking where I tuck the pick against my palm, and use my thumb for the bass and ring finger to pick the top octave


Re: 9 year old is into Joe Pass

Whenever a child really applies themselves to developing
a skill there are concerns about whether he/she should be
doing some other occupation with other kids.

Perhaps - like Mozart - he is not interested in what other
kids are doing and wants to develop his abilities.

Good for him - and good for his parents for supporting him.

Will



Have you guys heard this? I just hope the kid's happy and plays with other kids,
etc. You know what i mean. As someone here said, when i was nine, i was learning

Uploaded reference book for 7th chords

denzodenzo
 

Hi all,

I just uploaded in pdf file section of this group
(;
Graphics%20%26%20PDF%20Files%20/) a reference book for 7th chords.
You'll find all four note positions with root on bass (drop2, drop3 and
so on).
This is a very useful tool for beginner and intermediate jazz guitar
players to start immediately to play jazz songs.

If you find this file useful I invite you to visit my site
(www.ubiguitar.com <> ) and verify other books
related to jazz guitar I published .
In download section are listed other free tools that you can download
freely.
On other sections you'll find material on voice leading, scales and
arpeggios, chord progressions and chord melody, standards, altered
tuning and more.
These books are specifically prepared for people who likes playing what
theory is about: often good theory books are poor of samples and usually
they are not related to guitar playing.
Instead our chord books not only report chord positions, but are full of
samples of their usage in standard comping, voice leading, related
scales and arpeggios: all you need to transform a simple chord position
in a usefull sound tool for your music; because we believe that you can
learn jazz only by playing jazz.

Regards

No political inferences whatsoever are intended in my comments. I missed the awards but the first time I saw Candidate Scott Brown, I saw a striking resemblance to John F. Kennedy, Jr. I'm curious if anyone else thought so. Likewise, in the past year or two, I have seen more than one image of former President Clinton and former VP Candidate, Geraldine Ferraro which, to me, were remarkably similar to each other.
