I really love Tim’s improvisation style and the wealth of great content he provides. I’m particularly interested in understanding his approach to improvisation – what goes through his mind and how he visualizes the fretboard while playing. For example, I know some improvisers divide the fretboard into 6 or 7 shapes (usually based on major scale…Read More

I just looked at the Sunnyside deep dive and the improvising video may give you some insight into your questions. don’t be afraid to look at the examples bar by bar and see if you can detect some useful guidelines. I almost always have the chord of the moment in mind ( or more accurately, the SOUND of the chord of the moment in mind) but while I’m…Read More

Thanks Tim; I will be very interested in any guidance you can give on moving towards playing without too much thinking and without relying on memorized solos. -

Thanks Tim, I’ll definitely do that!
It’s fascinating that you mentioned the absence of “thinking mode”. During improvisation, I often encounter this “problem” of getting fully immersed in the world of sound, as you described it. When I’m in the flow, I struggle to think analytically, whether I’m trying to identify/recall the chord of the moment…Read More

I still can’t figure out how I can get the sound splice transcriptions into PDF so I can print and mark them up…do I need some other software or app? Or what I am missing? Please let me know!

Hi Daniel,
Firstly, thank you for being here and for embracing the Soundslice technology. I know how frustrating it can be when you can’t get it to function the way you want. Apologies for that.
iIt looks as though there might be a little bit of confusion about what Soundslice can do. Soundslice doesn’t give you PDFs. Soundslice is an…Read More

Hey, Luke – thanks for the quick and clear reply….Sounds good to me…Aller Anfang ist schwer…so I’ve heard the Germans say – but in this case, for sure worth it! Thanks again!

Hi, will we get a chord grid transcription of Sunny Side Of The Street solo guitar? I think chord grid transcriptions are superior compared to tabs/notations at least it is for me. It reinforces examining which note is 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, etc. Whereas following the tabs feels like blindly copying the numbers without actually internalizing anything…Read More

Chord charts are great. I’ve been using my Real Book for the songs we’ve worked on so far and watching Tim’s breakdowns as inspiration and tips for how to get the most out of the tune. Hope this helps!

Hello,
It’s great to hear so much support for the grids,
We’ve all had a chat about the best way to accomodate the grids and we’ve come up with an idea: We’re going to sart including a chordgrid arrangement for each tune of the month as well as the standard notation.
Sometimes this might mean we have two different performances for you all to…Read More

Here is a playlist that I made on YT of versions of On The Sunny Side of the Street that I think are worth listening to as we learn the tune.
