| On the stick routed through the lead guitar effects chain is an 8 string Baritone stick tuned in minor thirds. One reason is that playing non-third chords through distortion for a beat or two as part of your lead line is cool and minor thirds gives you a hope in hell of being able to finger them. Si... |

Hi Radkon,
I also really feel the thumb is the thing that is going to make all things possible. |

| Hi Brett, Holdsworth squeezes these out on electric but few others pull it off as well among those who dare to try although Frank Gambale is one who may have one upped even Holdsworth. For mere mortals it's almost impossible on electric and truly impossible on steel string or classical or stick-in-f... |

| Fortunately the stick CAN get the lush harmonies I want AND allow me to play walking bass lines if you place the stick on a keyboard stand and put the lowest bass strings more near to the player and include your thumb when you play. You could also wear the stick guitar style but string it low and in... |

| Hey Greg, previously you said, "There's nothing innate to the Stick or its tuning that would prevent you from using two hands to voice chords any way you wanted." I kind of take exception to that because the piano and the electric guitar can voice the non-third chords with one hand and it ... |

| Something anyone can do to add color without filling out triads and seventh chords with the 9s, 11s and 13s is to not sit on the chord written for the measure but to move to an adjacent chord in the key. Jazz guitarists usually take one of two approaches with this. Either they adjust the tone contro... |

| Sorry about the condescension. I grew up an angry child. It's kind of in my nature to be a little bit edgy. My wife tries to look past it. I don't really know how to use the code function. I'd like to learn if someone would take the time to explain it. In continuing the explanation for Ocean's Melod... |

| Your non-third chords usually need the root because in the fusion style, the bass player doesn't have to be playing roots. He could be playing variations on the melody, he could be "making the changes" himself or he could be playing each measure backwards to test if everyone can still hang... |

| It gets really interesting when the keyboardist is playing one chord voicing with his chosen alternations and you're playing a different chord voicing with different alterations creating a very dissonant but still correct cacophony. The stick has the ability to put one in the left hand and another i... |

| After quartal and quintal harmony are the non-third chords. Non-third chords exist because a jazz soloist is most likely going to be targeting the third (and seventh) of the chord if he's "making the changes." I suspect our ears are used to hearing seventh chords which have four notes so w... |
