I highly recommend Seventh String Software’s “Transcribe!” it’s what I use for all my work and the slowed quality is very good. Relatively easy to use as well!

  What a fantastic recommendation! I got it yesterday, and it’s great! I’ve been using (the free) Audacity app to loop regions, but this is much better. I haven’t worked yet with its note and chord guesses, but I figure they’ll be helpful.

    Also, I’m a bit of a geek, and pretty quickly got it responding to a MIDI foot pedal (and “expression pedal”) for start/pause/restart within a loop region, and even “scrubbing back” while I hold down a pedal and resuming when I let up. I expect this to be a big help.

For some reason I can not see the “Livestream” section. When I try to enter it sends me to the main page. Just letting you know if someone have the same problem or it will be solved? Thank you 😁

This is a question about how to think about playing melodies over chord changes. I’ve been at this study about 6 months. I have begun to be able to visualize/find the intervals of chords I am playing. IOW, I’m still slow, but I can identify the 3rd, 7th, etc. by looking at the root of the chord and visualizing the patterns (so, for example, if…Read More

  Colin, I don’t know if your way is sensible or not, but I use the same approach.

    Thanks, Richard. That helps to know. I guess what worried me is that there is so much information in books and on the internet that just doesn’t seem that relevant or important to study. I don’t mean that it’s wrong to know those things, just that they don’t seem to be the things to start first. That said, I worry that it’s me who is failing…Read More

  This is kind of how I visualize the fretboard. I’m looking for chord tones as well as arpeggios and then I build off of that afterwards to find the 9, 11, and 13 and their alterations as well. Eventually for me it turned into seeing scale patterns around chose chord shapes.

    Thanks Jeff. I’m glad I asked this question. The responses are helping me to feel like I’m on the right track.

      Colin, I think how you are approaching things is “sensible” I would also suggest that eventually knowing the note names as well will bring everything together. the two things aren’t “mutually exclusive”

      Actually, I think I have a question about this. Are you saying that I should eventually know the names of the notes on the fretboard, or that I should know that a B7 arpeggio has two sharp notes (B D# F# A)? The first seems easy, the second seems like memorizing the phonebook. I mean, I guess I know that the key of G has an F# after repetition,…Read More

Hi Guys,
I’ve just wanted to share, that last week I was a on a jam session, and I took a leap and sang skylark with a jazz trio setup 🙂 It was very fun!
I like this song from a long time already, and was happy to learn it hear. However I’ve never heard it on jam session, so now I called it 😉
Next time I prepare with the guitar accompaniment…Read More

  Way to go Andras. The only way to get it going is to get it going!

We have a new transcription up on the Jazz page called “Dream Bells”, where Tim uses Darn That Dream as a foundation and makes use of Harp Harmonics across the entire piece. (It can also be found in the Harp Harmonics lesson on the Essentials pages as well!)

There’s a new lesson in the “Mastering ii-V-I Harmony” course on adding some altered…Read More
