Peter, I enjoyed his facial expressions on the string bends.

Incidentally, great name for a Rock Band: "Lettuce Turnip And Pee!"

Charlie is sensational! Thanks for the link, eh? (or Canadian equivalent).

Don,

Not sure if you play guitar or not but the facial expressions, particularly on string bends, is in the 1st or 2nd lesson man.

Later,

Great brilliant playing and obviously a very talented young man.

I would guess that the 10,000 hours to gain mastery of the instrument has been put in here but as regards the great finger work would be interesting to know if age plays any factor in this as well.

Does youth and not having any arthritis in your hands play a factor in nimbleness of touch with the hands?

You must be very proud Peter of your talented son.

Errol Garner grunted when he played, so does Diana Krall, sometimes. I worked with a guy once that drooled when he took a solo. I mean, the cat actually drooled, all over the place, lol.

I used to think that Oscar Peterson was merely "grunting" when he played, but one day a long time ago, was listening to that delightful direct-to-disk recording of just OP and Dizzy expanding "Caravan" changes seemingly forever, and noticed something that changed my approach to soloing for the better.

OP was swinging the Dominant (5th) of each chord change as it went by.

Uh-oh.

Try it, Lee, it enables a neat way to play from the 9 forward, the bebop/modern jazz stuff - and it removes the Tonic from the student's head without losing the all important Tone Centers.

If you remember what those Pat Martino studies emphasize, the way Pat will go up a fifth from the root of the chord and improvise around the Harmonic minor or Diminished Scales from the "5th forward" it makes a lot of sense.

One of the neatest things about Improvisation and Composition is that there are so many different ways to perceive things, all able to yield the same basic result. So I like to look for the simplest ways to perceive those things. And that can be difficult, these things seem able to hide in plain view a lot of the time.

Peter, I don't know how I missed the first video the first time around. Both videos are great. All 3 of you nailed Satch Boogie!

If you like melodic instrumental rock, then you and Charlie would really like the Dimitar Nalbantov albums that are up for free download right now. I put a link in the off-topic forum.

Perhaps Charlie has already heard of him, I don't know.

That's some excellent playing! Very expressive and melodic.

His playing reminds me of Carlos Santana, ... and that's a good thing.

Hey, seems like a few months at music school aren't bein' wasted, Peter.

Keep slippin' the school comp copies of BB to selected profs and we'll make a Jazzer out of him yet! grin

And I'm sending a message to Larry Carlton.

Gonna tell him to watch out...

Very Strong Performance.

Add the name Charlie Gannon to the RealTrack soloists available for BB2015, man.

Wow! This is incredibly impressive. "Awesome" springs to mind.

Hope Charlie is reading this thread. He deserves all the praise he's getting. I really like the way he handled the 16-beat swing and those 16th triplets. Not being a guitar player, I only sit back in wonderment that people can actually do this sort of thing!

Also ...

I believe that BIAB is already a well known and respected product at Berklee College.

Only truly talented players can make a guitar SING like that.

It is impressive to watch - so, thanks for allowing us to share in the journey!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
