OFF TOPIC!! [&:]
but very interesting. I have loads of respect for the jazz discipline. This particular workshop is not so easy to follow without the BOOKLET he refers to. But a lot is implied for a general idea. Would really make more sense if you could have the book references.
My only pet peeve about the jazz guitar style is that SO MANY players need to use the electric guitar with the damn tone knob down to like ZERO. God that is annoying. It makes all that beautiful harmonic color dynamically blend together for a fuzzy warm bland soup sound. I can't hear a darn thing with that tone all the time for every freaking song. I can understand it for the occasional ballad, but like for his progression 8... I can't hear a key or anything its just chomping atonally along with no dynamic or color. A simple thing like turn the tone up to 10 would really make a difference for me, but that is taste I guess. The soloing also bothers me in that the lines, again because of the tone, only 50% is actually audible. The notes just disappear dynamically, especially in the basses. It's really annoying. THe same player on an acoustic guitar sounds far more interesting just because of this tone issue.
