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”. Or they are the occasional open string, often these are notes in the lower range that are there to propel the rhythm/feel. I can’t think of any examples of parenth…Read More

  Hey Daniel! Tim nailed it. It’s implying a very softly played note, so quiet that it might just be a ghost.

    Forgot this one: sometimes I’ll use ghost notes to imply what was meant to be played as well. For example, if it’s a deadened note but is clearly fingered and fits within the harmonic context of what’s being played.

  Nice work. I never tried that. Does it work well in preventing feedback ?

Hi Tim and everyone, I want some direction on the vein of the concept of counterpoint to articulate myself and everything better, like syncopation… I liked your video about how you sliced 7th chords into 3rds and 6ths, Should I learn to
read sheet music as the books I got about counterpoint all have that prerequisite. Thanks I dont know how to…Read More

  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

Augmented Chords?
I have request for some musical explanation, and examples following up the last Livestream Masterclass:
We have the diminished chords, which can be derived, as an evenly division of the 12 notes. 12/4
With the same principle we can create the augmented-triad chord families: 12/3
However, augmented chords show up far more rare…Read More

  We have an augmented chord tutorial in the pipe line, stay tuned . But a quick answer would be augmented triads can act as V of any major and minor chord. Ex. E+ Amaj7 or A6. E+ Amin7 or Amin6. The other common use is in line cliches. Cmaj C+ C6 C7 Fmaj Fmin etc.

  If we increment or decrement a note in an augmented triad we get relative minor and major respectively…

    Thank you for you for this answer! I was guessing, that augmented chords must also act like a “musical magic cube” 🙂 your answer revealed it !
