Default And now for something completely different...

How the theory of relativity can be on your side when improving your lead guitar playing.

Although the post deals with playing over jazz changes, the concept could be applied to any style of music.

one must practice slowly, then more slowly, and finally slowly.

i agree with practicing slowly and learning to improvise over changes at a slow tempo. however, this really has nothing to do with the theory of relativity.

I was hoping you'd catch the analogy - not the physics.

Yeah, but I could never follow his chord logic. He spelled a major C2 chord as MC2 (with the 2 in superscript) and thought it was the same thing as an E chord. No wonder he never got a record deal or any of his guitar books published.

the story i heard is that right after yet another publisher turned down his musical manuscript, again because of his crazy chord theories, a frustrated al cried out, 'but can't you see, it's all relative!' shortly after this he went into physics.

i still dig out his first record occasionally and play it just for laughs. new-tone-ian mechanics indeed.

Newton's gravitational theory mostly applies to my playing.
