I bought my 175 in Cambridge in 1980 while I was studying at Berklee. Unfortunately I broke the neck a few years ago and got an excellent repair from the German luthier Thomas Reg'n. So I guess your former guitar is another one.

@@LotharsGuitarSchool Very cool -I was just wondering if it was the case! How amazing would that have been - btw I grew up in Hamburg form 1970 to late 1976 - got to see many great concerts at the Musikhalle and CCH - even Onkel Pös! great music and great times. Baden Powell used to come through and play a lot - even Yepes with his 10 string., I remember the Berliner Jazz Tagge with Herbie playing on channel 3 - also Keith Jarret and Musikladen with Return to forever live and Stevie Wonder! man that never happened in the US. I am an american that lives in California but mback then i was 10 years when I first came to Hamburg. Govi schalplatten laden - Pop magazine - Sounds too. I did see Little Feat 2 x in Hamburg as well. Geneis 2x's so many shows - so many shows…Good luck to you - I wish you were closer by to make some music together - that would fun.

Thanks!

Thanks!

An welchen Beatles Song denkst du da?

It's a terrific amp!

@@LotharsGuitarSchool Not wrong man! I just bought an ODS II on Saturday - your spectrum analiser deep dive gives a great insight into the frequency response on the dials. Thanks for doing it - subbed!

@@GuvnaOnSpotify I am sure you made a goos choice.

Es gibt eine großartige Version von Al Jarreau. Kennst du die?

You're welcome. I appreciate that you like it.

Compression evens out dynamic differences and enhances the attack. I like it. Too bad that you disagree.

I didn't know the lyrics. Where are they from?

You're welcome!

You are welcome!

Thanks!

I just like chorus. It's my sound.

Yes, the graphic analyzer makes a more objective comparison possible.

I'm glad you like!

You're welcome.

For home purpose the Princeton is a much better choice since you reach the sweet spot easily. The twin will be super clean at lower volumes. In order to reach a warmer tube sound you have to play it much louder. And to haul around the twin is quite an endeavor.

Unfortunately I cannot try it out any more. I sold it!

???

There is a great Billie Holliday version published.

You're welcome! Enjoy the music!

My pleasure.

You're welcome!

Interesting. I don't know Johnny Smiths approach. I wonder how this works with only three forms. I guess you'd have to move more through the positions. Someone suggested to do all 12 keys in one position. Possible, but requires a lot of stretching of first finger and pinky. I find that awkward.

Thanks!

Das sagt die Renate zu Lothars Spiel ,LB Grüße an alle Nutzer.

Das ist eine gute Idee!

Thanks for your appreciation. Also check out Jeff Beck's amazing version. Different but very emotional.

@@LotharsGuitarSchool Yes, you're right about Jeff Beck's version. I know it. Excellent tutorial. Thanks again!! 🍻

That's true

Your comment is much appreciated - though I disagree.

Thanks for the hint. When we say II V I, we really mean IIm7 V7 Imaj7, coming from within the tonality (dorian, mixolydian, ionian). Here the C7 is actually a V7/V being a dominant of the dominant. And the Bb7 is actually a I7 requiring a mixolydian scale.

@@LotharsGuitarSchool Thank you for the explanation!

@@damienkim820 You're welcome; anytime!

I am glad you find it helpful!

That's right. That's the end of the melody. After that the backing starts without melody.😀

You are welcome. Let me know, if you need anything else.

You're welcome. Let me know if you need the pdf or anything else.

Thanks! If you have any questions feel free to contact me here or at lotharsguitarschool@gmail.com

I used an analog MXR chorus from 1980 - the big yellow one with an AC plug.

@@LotharsGuitarSchool thanks , any chance also the speakers model in the cabinet that you used ?

Das freut mich!

Super! Danke!

I am fine. It is just my usual self. But thanks for your concern.

You have to begin somewhere to read music. Though this course ic basically designed for pick style guitar in popular music, it won't hurt when to read it with a classical guitar. But to read fluently classical guitar is a different ballgame and will need additional material.

Hi Jake, great question! In the key of F, Bb7 is the iV7, a common subdominant chord derived from the diatonic chord IVmaj7 = Bbmaj7, which is the lydian mode containing a #11. Thus the IV7 chord asks for the #11 as well, making the IV7 a Bb7/#11 chord using the mixolydian #11 scale, which is on the 4th degree of the Melodic minor scale. The E7 is just the tritone substitution for Bb7, which contains the notes of the altered scale, which is by definition on the 7th degree of F melodic minor - of course the very same scale as before. Thus on the 7th degree of F you can have a VII7altered chord = E7 altered. Though it has no dominant function relating to the key of F, it has a subdominant function, which has a slight tendency to resolve to the tonic as well. So these 2 chords can be seen as being derived from the parallel minor key = F melodic minor, which relates to F major with just one different note = eb. Thus these chords fit perfectly into the key of F adding just a little more color, an additional tension. I hope that explains it for you. Best regards Lothar

@@LotharsGuitarSchool Thanks for the answer, I think I understand. So I could also just think of those two bars as in F melodic minor?

@@jakemcaleer1752 Exactly! Nevertheless, when improvising over it, it is advisable to think the chords and their arpeggios and fill up with the notes of the scale (or approach notes).

Thanks!

Ich verstehe deine Frage nicht.

ich meine BPM , so um die 140 ?????

@@tomgroene1338 Nee, ist schneller - so um die 168 BPM, aber das hörst du doch selbst.

okay danke

I don't know it's exact weight. But since it is a solid state amp it doesn't need as big transformers as a tube amp. It is pretty light.

This is one of the first songs I ever transcribed about fifty years ago.

Interesting - but which song are you talking about?

Thanks for your reply Lohar. P.S., you have an excellent trademark name easy to remember. Unlike when I get lucky on guitar and forget what I did. Anyways, bacharach composed a song that was made famous by Cher singing it. The name of it is Alfie. It was also interjected into a movie with the same name which has Shelley Winters and Michael Caine, by the same title,.. Alfie. Perhaps bacharach composed this tune for the movie the same way John Williams and other composers do. I don't know. I have considered a chord progression for this song, but even as I think of the chords in my head, they change to something else. I think it's involved, or could certainly become very involved. So, that's why I brought that up if you're interested. The end of the song is intentionally not resolved. It's like bacharach put a trademarked ending on the song, where cher, and Chaka Khan both end on a different note. ... "Aaalphiee.."

You're welcome!

It's big enough. I sold the twin in the meantime - way to heavy.

Thanks man!
