Temperature progression

Posted Sat, 05/26/2018 - 01:55 by RB

Hi David,

I just started to recongnize blues progression (Level 2)

Temperature 1st chorus, bar 5-6 should be in chord "IV", which is "C", which is +1 or +4 or +7 or +10. But you have +5 as the main note.

3rd chorus, bar 5-6 again, should be in "C", but you have +2 as the main note.

What am I missing?

Study Song not showing up in email

David, I sent my Study Song to my email account  from the Voice Memo app on my iPhone, and it's been well over an hour, and it hasn't shown up. Does it take longer than this because it's a bigger file than the other submissions?

And if it doesn't show up, what is the next best option for getting a recording to you?

 Update: continue reading...

Creating a sequence

Posted Thu, 05/24/2018 - 17:27 by John S

David G'Day when I am converting a lick that starts with 3+ into a sequence do I start counting from 2 or 3+.  3+ would be 4 and 2 would be 4+  ??.  Confusing. Im guesing that 2 and 3+ is counted as one therefore 4 draw (sounds like) would be the sequence note.

4 blow

Posted Tue, 05/22/2018 - 13:26 by mainmark37

My 4 blow on one of my 2 Special 20s in A, every few minutes, will not sound for a split second then start out flat for another split second and then sound correctly. I plinked  the reed several times in case there was something on it, but it's still doing it. When it does start working it will sound fine and blow freely, but if I don't use the 4 blow for even a couple of minutes, I then experience the original problem again. Any suggestion?
