I really enjoy your talent, you can sure make that guitar sing and I am assuming that you are also playing the keyboard. Great stuff!

Way up there Dean. I really liked the discordant feel about this one. An interesting fusion style. Nice axe work for sure.

Very sweet Guitar tone. I am confused by the legal notice, though. Maybe I dense. (No, I am sure I am.) BUT--anyway, is that legal notice humorous or is it a real warning. Sorry, that threw me..

Hi Dean,
man, you really can play!
It's a real pleasure to listen
to your soloing.
The arrangement is good, too, of course.

Hi David,
A great question! I'll try to keep the details to a minimum. When I first joined the Forum as a jazz musician, I chafed at the provision barring "covers" because the term, frankly, insults the genre just as much as it would if applied to classical music:
The New York Philharmonic will tonight perform a cover of Beethoven's ...
I mean, gimme a break. The whole idea of jazz is to create, spontaneously, on the fly, in real time a new melody that "fits" the chords. Most musicians - even world-class players - cannot do this. Moreover, you better be sure that your improvised replacement melody is more interesting than the original melody of the song. Otherwise, why bother? Just play the original melody over again. The entire emphasis is on the changes, reharmonizing them, and on the solos. I'm not "covering" any other guy's solo, man. That's the whole point.
So the question became: How to stream legally my interpretations of the compositions of others. The oldest and largest institution that manages copyright protection for musicians, composers, lyricists, etc. is ASCAP. Keeping up with the times, they figured out a way to let musicians interpret, perform and stream any of the 9,000,000 or so tunes in their book. My ASCAP license number is found in my signature. It gives me, not ownership of the tune, but the legal right to stream it without download capability.
Nevertheless, some Forum members (who, as far as I know, are not lawyers) have expressed doubts about legality of this license, which costs about $250/year. I'm confident that ASCAP's legal team knows what their doing. And there is also the "fair use" doctrine, which I won't get into, but with which I am in compliance. My posts are intended for pedagogical use only.
Despite all this, the final bend-over-backwards is the unconditional permission I give to Forum members (see below) to contact the moderators or Peter Gannon himself asserting that I am in violation and requesting the removal of the offending post. I endorse any such request. My signature is simply neutral information about my due diligence: neither humor nor warning.

Hey Tom,
A numberof people have mentioned McLaughlin. But, I'll tell you something and I know a lot of players who agree, if you take a random point in any of his solos, you'll hear something more or less like having chosen any other random point. To me, John is a non-melodic improviser. Chops? Well, he's untouchable, of course, but I ask, "Where's the beef?" Like those fast-talking disclaimers on TV, my first reaction is "Wow!" followed by "Uh ... Whad'e say?"
Frankly, I think the emphasis on "chops" has gotten out of hand. In one note, Gene Ammons could say more on his tenor than I could in a million-note solo. I even invented a Chinese proverb emphasizing that the guitar is a limited voice (apologies to my Asian colleagues on the Forum for this stereotypic delivery; no insult intended).
The proverb: "Man with guitar run into man with saxophone like man with guitar run into tree chipper."
After all, what other instrument requires so many prosthetic devices (stomp boxes, effects pedals, processors, etc.) to make it work?
It's a tremendous compliment to even be mentioned in the same breath as McL. But it would also be good if listeners could hear what I'm trying to be: a melodic improviser that plays accessible ideas that you can sink your teeth into. The way I look at it, chops are the means to the end, not the end itself. Of course, folks are free to disagree. This is just a personal thing. My rant is over.
Dean

Hi Sonny,
Really glad you liked this. I'm pretty reserved and it's hard for me to list myself as playing all other instruments (except the RealDrums) but the truth is that I do. Keys, bass, guitar. I think of myself more as an arranger than anything else and a good arranger has to play a lot of instruments. I mean, he or she doesn't have to burn the joint down on every single instrument but I think you need more than just a casual knowledge of, at the very least, piano and bass.
Thanks for listening and asking.
Dean

Thank you Guenter. It's always great to get a positive review from a serious artist and sharp-eared critic. And let me thank you again for making it possible for me to hear what you did in that mixing contest.

Late to the party but I'm glad that I came.
All I can add is that I really liked this one.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hold on a minute. Tommyc ... I just saw this name somewhere else ... Tommy ... Cole. Tommy are you the guy whose site on SC I visited last night? I listened and watched as the FUNK-O-METER started smoking and then shaking and then melting. The needle banged crazily against the end of the red zone and then stuck there for a moment before the gadget liquefied. As everything went black, I thought I heard someone say, "Damn!" or "Call 911" or something like that ... then I snapped awake.
Forget it. Strange things happen at 2 AM. Thanks Tommyc for the kind remarks.
Dean

Hey Mario,
Good to see you again. I hope all's well. The Law and Order theme is a real burner and I wish I could find more like it. If you have any ideas, let me know. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Dean Hi Dean, I have been extremely busy the last month or so. I had 4 projects that I was working on as well as getting things ready for winter, thus I had very little time to listen. I hope the rush is over!
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Always loved that theme, and you took it over the top!! On a forum with a huge number of great players, in my mind you sit at the very top Dean. Amazing guitar playing. I thought that flame on your avatar was just a special effect but now I wonder if it was spontaneous. This is incredible!! Here is a link to one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. You may know it. Take care. Greg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGxEvaeApkI
