[jazzguitar] Eric Gale Recordings
Hi all! I was wondering whether anyone out there has some Eric Gale recordings? I'm compiling a list of tunes which feature songs from Mark Stefani's Jam Central Station and am searching for a few select songs featuring Mr. Gale on guitar. The following is a list of tunes: Evil Ways (w/ Turrentine) Mercy, Mercy, Mercy (w/ Jimmy Smith) Sunny (w/ Richardson) Watermelon Man (w/ Jimmy McGriff) If anyone has these in any form please let me know off-list (stuntzner@...).

[jazzguitar] Re: Jazz Guitar Pickups
Rob Super: I have a Bill Comins Archtop with a floater. Do you know of any mic setup like Baggs that uses a double source for a more acoustic sound like those offered for flattops? A direct box through a house system seems to sound better with an underbridge piezo like Fishman or Ovation. However, fishman bridge for archtop is too noisy in my opinion. Perhaps some type of preamp would work. Suggestions? Polk Shelton polkmusic@...

[jazzguitar] Re: a greeting and a question
I've got a program called CD Looper. It works with windows and has been pretty handy for slowing stuff down while maintaining pitch. It was only around thirty dollars if I'm remembering correctly. Good Luck!

[jazzguitar] Re: a greeting and a question
Adam, I purchased a TR-400 from Reed Kotler (who runs the "justjazz.com" discussion group)about a year ago. It was one of the best things I ever did. The sound quality does deterioate as you slow things down more and more, but its good enough for the intended purpose - i.e., for quickly copying pitches. The unit is about the size of one's hand and I have mine hooked up to the headphone jack of my CD player - I can copy up to 153 seconds of stuff anytime (even off the radio) and then slow it all the way down to 1/8 speed if necessary. Is is worthwhile? For me, yes. Some licks/phrases are simply too fast for me to get by replaying a tape or CD. I remember struggling with a certain Joe Pass lick before I got the TR-400. I got an approximation to it after at least several long sittings, but I could tell that it wasn't eactly right. With the TR, I could nail the exact note sequence within about 5 minutes. The importance of doing this for me is that when you are certain of the exact notes being played, you can then begin to see what the player was actually soing/thinking - with the wrongs notes, you really don't know how to analyze why a certain lick works. After a while, of course, you depend less and less on such devices. You build up your bag of licks and sounds and it becomes easier to simply hear what a player is doing right off the CD. But until that time, a digital device like the TR-400 is worth much more than most of the book and videos. If you have any other questions, please respond off-line to me and I'll try to answer them. Otherwise, just check out Reed Kotler's web site for a detailed desription of his digital music study adis.

[jazzguitar] a greeting and a question
Hi folks. I'm really excited to be a part of your group. I think it's great to be able to get insight and info from so many different people and perspectives. So here's my first question: As far as transcribing solos, what are your views on hardware/software that slows down the music without changing the pitch? Do you think it is a valuable tool to use, or more of a crutch? I've been experimenting with a program called Slow Gold, and I'm trying to decide if I'm gaining maximum benefit, or if these programs tend to take away from the potential learning experience. I'd be psyched to hear your thoughts. Thanks in adavance Adam

[jazzguitar] Kenny Burrell
Hi all! Anyone know where Kenny Burrell teaches? The last I heard he had a position teaching the music of Ellington somewhere. CA, perhaps? --brent Brent D.

[jazzguitar] Re: Kenny Burrell
he is the head teacher of the jazz program at UCLA, he just did a big duke ellington celebration with Ray Brown, Herbie hancock and a bunch more for dukes 100th b-day (if he was alive obviously). It was an impressive concert. I'm not sure if theyre still focusing on ellington now that thats over though. curtiss

hi, dave evans here, i use a program called the musicians cd player, it's shareware available at home1.swipnet.se/~w-11396/ from Roni Music. it works great, is free or cheap, depending on your morals. i think its an excellent tool, not a crutch. charlie parker (i read) used to slow down his records. didn't hurt him any. my advice is to try to figure it out your self then use the slow down to check yourself or get any parts that were just to fast. another thing is it really allows you to check out the details of phrasing and technique, note release, slurs, etc. the magic of the greats. and the possibility of learning coundown or giant steps, exactly note for note, it's like a visit to another world. have fun dave

[jazzguitar] Re: jazzguitar digest
Hi List, I'm very seriously considering purchasing a 4 year old used Heritage Super Eagle for about $2900. The dealer is a reputable Heritage dealer and has this one on consignment. It has a single floating pickup with volume and tone control on the pick guard. It's a large instrument (!8" rather than the usual 17"), but has a huge acoustic tone. The only defect that I've found is one very minor ding on the front. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. This is the first time that I've seriously considered getting a really expensive guitar (and an archtop at that). Rob

[jazzguitar] Re: jazzguitar digest
Hi Rob, If you like it, go for it. I've had several Heritages and found them to be good guitars. essentially you are getting a Super 400C at about half price or less. In my opinion, the Super Eagle is more comfortable to play as it is 3/8" thinner. Your's must be a special order because they normally have two set pickups. I have several friends with such custom made guitars and they are great. Have you been able to play it? If not get it on 48 hr approval and you'll be protected incase you don't love it. lan Lan Mosher, Center for Effective Organizations, CEO 6201 15th Ave. NW, PMB 559 Seattle WA 98107 [206]-297-3070 www.halcyon.com/ceolan Also: at [206] 784-9117: "Have Guitar, Will Travel", Emerald City Jazz Quintet; Guitar Times Two Trio, Seattle Jazz Guitar Society

[jazzguitar] Re: Music Software

I checked out the Musician's Ear -- Chord Transcriber trial version and I wasn't too impressed. I think it would work well with pop tunes and perhaps folk ballads (anything slow to medium tempo tune with "basic" chords), but I suspect that an up-tempo Wes tune will be frustrating for the user. The user has to click a button EVERY time a chord change occurs. Yuk! As far as Reed Kotler's things go, I've heard good things about TR-400 (either here or from jazzguitar@...), but I haven't been too thrilled about the Transcriber music study software. It doesn't seem very intuitive to me, but then again I'm one of those people who hates to read owner's manuals and tutorials. :-P Like Alisdair, I would also be interested in anyone's opinion of DSChord Finder 3.0, however, as there is no trial version available. --brent Brent D.

[jazzguitar] Software for transcribing music
I've seen some discussion here about software to help transcribing recorded music but no mention yet of Transcribe! which I think you should try (OK I'm biased!). Features include : - Place markers on sections, measures & beats so you always know where you are. - Slow down the music without pitch change. - Chord analysis. Select any chord or note and Transcribe! analyses the frequencies present, and displays them as a wavy line above a piano- keyboard graphic. Peaks in the line identify the notes being played, and their harmonics. Transcribe! can be downloaded from : www.seventhstring.demon.co.uk/xscribe/ It's shareware - 30 days free evaluation then $30 registration. Currently for Windows 95/98/NT only but the Macintosh version is under development for release towards the end of this year. Feedback is welcome - let me know what you think.
