| So here's a chicken and egg question for all you theory experts: Do keys define chords, or is it the other way around. Well...what I can see is...when I see a tonality (whatever the one is) I see right away what are the degrees related with this tonality. I know where is the second degree (minor), ... |

| Well...I read about what everyone has to say here and it's not easy to tell who's got reason. The way to write music in jazz or popular music has its own way to do it. It's different from classical music where all the notes are written. Someone wrote about this second or ninth and what about if this... |

| Hi, I recorded an improv. In the left hand, i'm constantly playing an Dadd9 chord (I think that's about the same as a Dsus2, but then the sus2 note an octave higher ??) and improvising with triads in the right hand. Hope you like it :-) https://soundcloud.com/bas-verkooijen/improv-over-dadd9-201301... |

| Hey, anyone who cares. I got my Oud yesterday!!! Now I've got another possible distraction from being the best Stick player that I can be. Some day I want to take a photo, sort of a "family portrait" of all my instruments. Not to brag about(like kids or grandkids), just to cherish. (And m... |

| The Stick directory turned out to be a nightmare of updating, as people's websites, etc changed constantly. If you're interested in finding out about Stick players near you, just posting here and on the various Stick groups on Facebook will connect you with a lot of people. Thanks Greg, I tried tha... |
