I like the general concept of this workshop being 1 tune per month. The pace is manageable, it keeps me engaged and there is a lot of complementary material on the website to keep us working. Since blues is a big part of Tim’s musical world, I wonder if other members would like it if we had a ‘blues-month’, lets say every 1 out of 3 months or…Read More

I’ve just wanted to post something similar. I could imagine a good in between song from the jazz blues standards, which could have maybe interpretations both towards the to extremes and also as a blend of the two genres. Any suggestions for songs?

Hi, what do the parentheses mean in the transcriptions? Sometimes it seems to me it means sustain the note, sometimes ghost it? Appreciate clarification….Thx!

Jeff who does the transcribing is away from his computer for a bit so I’ll try to answer. The parentheses indicate a note that is fretted but played very quietly or “ghosted”.

Hi Mike I will be making/posting videos exploring counterpoint as we go forward. Yes, I would say that if you are interested in learning counterpoint learning how to read standard notation would be very helpful. Stay tuned for some counterpoint lessons

Hey every body, just wanted to let you know the livestream from last week is now posted. Big props to Jeff D for transcribing almost every note I played during the stream. Kinda boggles my mind but also makes me very happy. Thank you Jeff! Dig in to it there is a lot of material covered and having it written down is a very helpful thing!
Have fun
Tim
