I just bought 2 SD cards today. I hope they are the right ones for my Zoom H4. I am busy now but tomorrow I will check it out.

Randy Vincent comes to mind.
Alans book is an oddball in that respect because there’s tons of new info to me but it’s also all very basic and doesn’t have to be hard to play so it lends itself more than others to just sitting on the same concept for a while.
Another thing I like to do is watch the My Music Masterclass two-minute teaser videos and take notes.
Those two minute trailers have all the information I can deal with. I have a few full length ones on my drive, but seriously haha….

Oh cool. I don't think I'd have any recordings if I couldn't just use my phone.

It's all anyone needs, really, Can even go direct. I think the excuses people give for not posting their own playing are a genre of posts in and of themselves. Lots of people can type a great solo and cite advice from books, but won't put their own playing up. I do not pay attention to any advice given by people on here who never post their own playing. They'll claim perfectionism about the recording quality, lost SD cards, whatever... but some people are just all hat and no cattle. Originally Posted by joe2758

After the jam the bassist looked at my old school phone when we shared numbers and said that he would like to have a simple phone as well that can't do much more than calls and SMS.

You don't need a smart phone. Your laptop probably has a web-cam and you can easily capture your playing with that. Most of even the cheapest cameras now have digital video capture. I've been on here long enough to know that people who have something to offer musically, offer it. No excuses or reasons, even if it's a very modest level of beginner/intermediate achievement. It's the music that reinforces the talk, not the other way around. Originally Posted by Bop Head

2,000 posts in, Bop Head will not be recording his playing for you.
Take his advice or don’t.

What I have to offer musically I offer live a lot recently. Going to jam sessions playing jazz, blues, funk, afro, reggae etc., to open stages presenting my own songwriter stuff and up to 20 hours of busking every week. Originally Posted by lawson-stone

Until I can show you a decent recent jazz recording you can only listen to the music I have made in another life.
This for example is the first composition I wrote on my own ca. 25 years ago (I was only playing guitar not singing in that band).
Just to let you know that I am not BS-ing when talking about groove.
But most of the songs where developed together by jamming like this one.

I'm using an older Zoom Model, only problem is they no longer make the Smart Media cards for it (they became Dumb Media cards) so I've had to buy used ones on eBay. Originally Posted by Bop Head

But I believe Basie plays an A on the Db dim chord, so I changed it to
Bb | A7 | Cm7 | F7.
So although I'm not super knowledgeable about these things I like Christian's idea of just calling it a swing turnaround. You get a nice bass line, too.

Sorry to go back to this again but no, it's not. Originally Posted by pawlowski6132

Chords are built in thirds. An A7 chord is A C# E G. Adding the the 9th is A C# E G B. Altering the chord by flattening the 9th is A C# E G Bb. That's an A7b9.
7b9 chords are usually used as V chords and resolve to their I chord, as A7b9 - Dm7 or DM7.
Diminished chords are chords in their own right. They're NOT a funny kind of dominant chord, nor is an altered dominant chord a funny kind of diminished chord. The original diminished triad comes from a minor chord with a flattened 5th.
Omitting the root of a dominant and swapping the b9 note to the bass may look and sound like a diminished chord but it's not, it's still an adulterated dominant chord. Secondary dominants are there to spice up a progression, as in the blues, but diminished chords are there to promote flow as passing chromatic sounds, which they do most effectively.
So when you see that progression in 'Embraceable You':
G6 - Bbo - Am7 - D7
and say the Bbo is an A7b9, it isn't so. You can test that out very easily by playing both side-by-side with the melody. They do not sound the same nor do the chords have the same effect on the melody. Also, playing A7b9 before an Am is meaningless.
So altered dominants are one thing and have their own function but diminished chords exist in their own right and function differently.
It would be most wise to grasp this and throw out any confusion about it!

You also get the old Bernstein dilemma of how A7 becomes Cm since there's no real theoretical connection! Originally Posted by charlieparker

It seems a decent name to me because it also sort of went out of fashion with the bop era. You often see it subbed for D-7 | Db-7 | C-7 | F7 Originally Posted by charlieparker

The Parker contrafact on Embraceable you, Quasimodo, also has I think VII7 second bar (quite hard to hear and it’s not well articulated in the melody line.)
