@acidbug Hello again. OK I'll see what I can do with your requests. I don't do what is this thing called love but I can learn it. It's been a while since I put up new solo videos but people have been asking me so I will get off my ass and do some more. Thanks for your comments. Steve Giordano
This is a deep subject to which I don't see any rules other than wisdom of musical taste while preserving the integrity of a composition. Therefore, anything I would write would be philosophical in nature. Depending on style I was arranging in, I would use different harmonic choices but always preserving the integrity of the composition. On the fly, like this video, I just grab what I hear in the moment. I do seem to fly by the seat of my pants however. For me, that's jazz. in the moment. :)
@acidbug Haha not sure what you mean by ghosted double time lines. Do you mean the softness in volume? If you do it's because years ago I decided to use the round edge of the heave pick instead of the pointed, more percussive. It's kind if a trade-off - mellow thumb-like sound vs percussive technique. In certain situations however, I go the other way and go for the more percussive "speedy" effect. If you would like a sample of this let me know via my email. Ciao, Steve Giordano
Yeah Steve,
Perfect example of mastery in musicianship. Beautiful playing. Thanks.

I always say a good melodic line can bridge ANY two (or more ) chords together as if they were made for one another

sound hole looks goofy but sounds great
Do you have an alternate harmony/chord substitution book I can purchase?
Only if you are a masochist, Rick. :)
