Where is all of that happening? Between your ears? Did I miss something?

I'm feeling adventurous. I might try at a third stab at the magic progression. Dissonant jazz swing, Spaghetti Western blues,............hmmm. I'll have to think of another approach that is different. Any suggestions?

Print out the chart.....cut it up and put in a hat. Take out one at a time and lay them out. That will be your cord progression. Play at 180 bpm. Good luck

i spent too much time yesterday trying to find the gypsy jazz version that i recorded. DOH!!!! still AWOL.

you might try messing w the time signatures of the A and B section as i had done on my GJ version. i'd play the A in 4/4 and switch it up to 6/8 for the B....then do it just the opposite.

i didn't formally map it out when laid i down the first track (rhythm gtr on my Mac copy), so when it came to time to overdub upright and mando, i just tried to fly by the seat of my pants and feel it out. easier to do on the mando (playing melody) as the bass line had to (try to) nail it!

Good one! Probably just sound like early Beatles (my favorite era).

Friggin drummers!

Sounds like a hoot, but unfortunately I do all my recording at studio at $45 an hour. But I will play with chords anyway.

Ab7d5? What's the d? Or just tell me the notes.

A flat seventh diminished fifth also spelled or concocted as Ab7-5 spelling is the
(1st Ab)
(3rd C)
(b5th D)
(b7th Gb)
