I wanted to also impress upon all Stick players the importance of chord voicings. Please care about yours. Yes, the little old lady who enjoys your stick sound and the novelty of the first, fifth, third in open voicing that you play in the left hand for all your triads is an important and valid sour...

So, Oceans, Another cool thing you can do with the harmony is to play any of those random arpeggios that you're hanging on the scale functioning as your middle ground that you've got running through your tune is to play them as a chord over the top of the existing harmony creating a polychord. I thi...

Greg, I can't put anything up on Youtube most likely because our connection here is both slow and unreliable which is deadly on huge video uploads. Even a very short video is in the huge category where we are and the longer it takes the more chances the connection will be lost even for a moment basi...

I wanted to say for anyone listening that if you don't want to sound like a 1960 hippy then don't play pentatonics without chromatic additions unless you're mixing them up with other things such as arpeggios and scale snippets.

Hi Greg, We met in Las Vegas when there was a stick seminar at Oscar Carrescia's music house. I grew up in Las Vegas and that's who I studied classical guitar from but I'm currently in Indonesia. My name is also Greg. I checked out the offset modal system article before. It's cool. It used to be my ...

Do I call you Per? I forgot to mention that all the "Violinish" tunes I posted over in Showcase were composed using the Static and Dynamic harmonic approach which would allow you to evaluate how effective it is when chords move in that manner. My other "Guitaristic" tunes were co...

The next place to go is Atonal progressions which I'll have to scan in my notebook and post here some time later. I've got a trip to the U.S. coming up so it will be a while before I'll be able to do that but if you're interested, you can research it yourself on the net.

Don't forget that it's possible to play the flat nine and the natural nine simultaneously as just one example, or the flat five and the natural five simultaneously, or the flat thirteen and natural thirteen simultaneously. Many people feel the 4 in major is too dissonant and either leave it out or m...

So, as far as what to do with the chords in your progressions it seems to me it's a good idea to follow the rule for comping with other people which is Don't play minor chords with flat nine, or dominant chords with the sharp four or flat five unless everyone in the band has been told when and where...

What I meant by the bitonal aspects of chords and melody is, for example, when you're on the vi-7 chord in major but you play a dorian scale or when you're on the IDom7 chord and play the minor pentatonic, dorian or bebop scale not the mixolydian. Oceans, We'll talk about chord progressions in gener...
