Improvisation is so important to me...whatever I play...chords, melodies, rhythms, polychords, etc. I like to play what's going through my mind when I play...no limits at all. I never play a cover though...personal choice. Sometimes I explore what's called 12 tones series...completely free. It can l... |

Indeed throw in that F#! Gmi scale is GABbCDEbF D7 is DF#AC The F# in the D7 is the raised 7th of the Gmi scale The D7 with the F# resolves "harmonically" better to the tonic Gminor as a leading tone. For that reason this is known as the "Harmonic minor scale" Steve A BTW... if ... |

I tried holding the Stick in that position, to alleviate l.h. problems. Then I can't reach upper positions (where I play alot) Just doesn't work for me. And w/ the back problems, vertical is the only way. Love the groove of Latino! It's the contrary for me. Very tough to play vertically because my ... |

I did it in less than 30 min and these holes are really small. Maybe I'll just let it the way it is. |

I prefer to play the real sound of my stick...don't need anything else but a bit of reverb. If you have any i... |
