Hi, I'm new to this group. My name is Thomas and I live in Paris,France, where I learn Django Reinhardt's style ...and love it. Lot of other's style gutarist I love,like Pat Martino,Paco DeLucia,Barrios,... I would like to ask the members if they have personal tricks,or exercises to interiorize the jazz grids,and particulary the ones where some chords stay a long time. In other terms,how can you be sure that your improvisation follow the grid,change at the right time,without thinking of it? Just another question.Does anybody know a good book about time shedulding,methodology,(..)to win efficacity in music work? Hope my english's not too bad. -TOM-

Here are some thoughts on the minor chord/scale use. 1. Minor Chord Functioning as tonic minor, i, or as vi, in major key Use Aeolian (Mode 6 of Major Scale)/Natural Minor Reason: b6 wants to resolve to 5 giving a very stable tonic minor sound. e.g D Aeolian = D–E-F-G-A-Bb-C 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-b7 Chord tones derived from scale = 1-b3-5-b7-9-11-b13 2. Minor Chord functioning as supertonic, ii, in a major key. Use Dorian (Mode 2 of Major Scale) e,g. D Dorian = D-E-F-G-A-B-C 1-2-b3-4-5-6-b7 (9-11-13) Chord tones derived from scale = 1-b3-5-b7-9-11-13 3. Minor b5 Chord functioning as a ii, in a minor key Use Locrian (Mode 7 or major scale) e.g. D Locrian = D-Eb-F-G-Ab-Bb-C 1-b2-b3-4-b5-b6-b7 Chord tones derived from scale = 1-b3-b5-b7-b9-11-b13 Note contains b9 eg Dm7b5 Eb = b9 (dissonant) 4. Minor b5 Chord functioning as sustained chord Use Locrian #2 (Mode 6 of Melodic Minor) e.g. D Locrian #2 = D-E-F-G-Ab-Bb-C 1-2-b3-4-b5-b6-b7 Chord tones derived from scale = 1-b3-b5-b7-9-11-b13 Alisdair MacRae Birch Jazz Guitarist alisdair@... http://www.alisdair.com

The harmonic minor scale is often cired as the scale of choice for improvising over a ii-V-i progression. the reason for this that all the chords can be derived from the harmonic minor scale. m7b5-V7alt-im7 e.g. C harmonic minor Dm7b5 – G7alt – Cm6 C harmonic Minor Scale 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-7 C-D-Eb-F-G-Ab-B However in realationship to each chord there are dissonances to watch out for: Dm7b5 – 1-b3-b5-b7-b9-11-13 Eb = b9 (dissonant) B = 13 (possibly dissonant, dorian like) G7 – 1-3-5-7-b9-11-b13 C= 11 (dissonant) Eb= b13 (consonant on G7#5 or G7b13) Cm6 – 1-b3-5-7-9-11-b13 Ab=b6 (dissonant) An interesting thought is that the C harmonic Minor is the same as a D Locrian with natural 6 Any more thoughts on this ?

Ooops, I want to make a correction to my previous email. Where you read "I think that the Cm6..." Please read " I don't think that Cm6...". Sorry for the inconvinience, Regards Rogerio ----------

if you know of a program that will do tab and/or standard notation, please RSVP me, Erico50@...

Thanks for starting this list. I've always used just a regular word processor for tab, using a fixed pitch font. Similar to what was used for OLGA. Rob

Alisdair, I tend to use natural minor for the im7 most of the time because it gives me a more relaxed sound and when I want some color I switch to the melodic minor. I don't care that much for the kind of the minor chord the piano player comps as long as it is a "im" I will play like said above. Rogerio ----------

Alisdair, I also use Finale but I always try to finish my ideas before I start writing them down on paper. I use finale just to finish the job and clean the mess of my hand writing. Rogerio ----------

Hey, I've heard about this software but i didn't know about this feature that you mention. I 'll check it out. Rogerio ---------- . It

Guitarist: I published the attached "Guitar Chord Inversions" article in The Austin Songwriter in l998 using MusEdit. info@.... or www.musedit.com. At that time, all the inversions were not in the available chord forms but I managed with some white out and a black pen. Forgive me if my notation isn't exactly correct. I am mainly a by ear, chord grid player. You can find MusEdit on p. l42 of Guitar Player October l999. I am sure there have been some upgrades since my version. I never got around to doing the next group of strings and triads but I plan to. I give my thanks to Clay Moore for teaching me the inversions. Check out his web page, www.claymoore.com Thanks, Polk Shelton

Hi, I've been using Encore 4 for a while now for notation. Very simple, doesn't look as nice as Finale, but I like it. Cheers, Shane Simpson -- ----------

I have been listening to a 1995 CD on the Muse Label by Hammond B-3 Organist Charles Earland called Ready n' Able. There is some fine guitar playing by David Samson. Does anyone know any more details about David, who is currently playing with, where he's from etc ? Thanks Alisdair MacRae Birch Jazz Guitarist http://www.alisdair.com alisdair@...

Hi, Half the software you guys are talking isn't even available here in India and if it is, it's way too expensive! Are there any programs available as free downloads on the net? blum ______________________________________________________

From what I understand the Jazz Guitarist program is no longer available from PG Music. I heard they had problems with copyright restrictions, because the tunes used were all standards. Your assessment of Oliver Gannon, the guitarist who recorded the Jazz Guitarist tracks using a midi guitar, as "fairly competent" reminds me of an old story by Robert Sheckley called "The Language of Love." The story is a spoof on the use of language to convey emotions exactly. I would say Gannon, who is apparently a top studio player in Canada, warrants more glowing praise than "fairly competent." I'd say he was at least "very competent" or even "impressive." I used to own a midi guitar, and I shudder to think what a midi-only recording of me playing that guitar would sound like. For those of you who have never had the, er, pleasure of playing a midi guitar, I would estimate the rate of success in getting notes to track correctly is about 50 to 70%. That's a lotta clams. Last, I recommend Band-in-a-Box to anyone who is studying to be a jazz player. Having your own band available to play in any key, any tempo, etc. 24 hours a day is a great asset. -- Clay Moore -- jazz guitarist web developer clay@... claymoore@... http://www.claymoore.com/ http://www.music2u.com To find out where I'm performing each week, sign up on my mailing list.
