Yup 12/8 Afro feel with Bass solo ( Music man stingray 5) I think it works but then what the hell do I know ? [attachment=194970:00 purple rain solo edit 1.mp3]

I wrote this especially for my fret less which has a lovely timbre and feel.The solo was pieced together from some of my favourite phrases it's a good way to build melodic ideas. Note the titles re working of a Stevie Wonder Classic [attachment=194969:She isnt lovely 3 April 08.mp3.mp3]

Hi I'd also be intersted in any future productions Regards Paul Francis Elec / upright bass 07956424321 [email protected]

My first professional gig was with Rock Guitarist Steve Hillage (Open, Virgin Records). Since then I have recorded, toured or appeared with the following bands/artists: Midge Ure, Paul Weller, The James Taylor Quartet, Galliano London Beat and Omar & Michelle Gayle Chris Farlowe, Ian Hunter & Dan Baird (Georgia Satellites) Bernie Marsden (White Snake) Stray Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big) My main source of income these days are the usual function/ covers bands and Jazz gigs. I'm based in Dorset but willing to travel.There aren't many situations that I can't handle (including chord charts and sight reading gigs I usually use my IPad but don't mind paper ! I play fretted/ fret less and upright bass,love music, and just want to continue doing that with like minded people who are also aware that this is job not a hobby, so paid work only please.

Hi I hope this doesn't confuse the issue [b]but it may help[/b] ? [b]The Majors[/b] We can all agree that western diatonic (within a key) harmony is constructed from the [b]Chromatic and invariably The Major Scale[/b].1 of the fundamentally most important chord sequences in the C Major Scale happens on the[b] I (C) IV (F) V (G)[/b] of the scale. This has given us the Blues Jazz Rock and roll plus most popular composition contains this harmonic movement with additional use of diatonic substitution to some degree.These Major chords are commonly known as the [b]Primary Chords/Triads[/b] and give us a sense of key and use the perfect cadence [b](V - I)[/b] to establish both a Tonal and Key centre . [b]Now,The minors[/b].The reason that the 6th degree of the Major scale is named the relative ( Natural) minor is because it establishes a similar chord movement for the minor chords from the C Major Scale for example ([b]I Amin IV Dmin V Emin)[/b] this secondary sequence creates similar harmonic movement but minorish in sound for the Major scale. These are known as the secondary triads.The only problem ? with this chord sequence is that it doesn't generate enough tension when resolving from V - I ( try it Emin to Amin ) nice but no cigar ! So the best way to resolve this is to substitute a[b] (dominant on The 5th degree) similar to that found in the Major Chord sequence of I IV V.[/b] Doing this will put back the tension required and resolves nicely to A minor( E7 to Am7) when you analyse this additional E dominant chord you will find it has a [b]G# E7 = ( E G# B D ) and comes from the scale Phrygian Major or E7b9[/b] chord.Now if you refer back to the natural minor scale and replace the G with the G# ......well you tell me Yes voila !! the [b]Harmonic minor[/b] !! So in my mind the A harmonic minor can still be related to the original Natural minor scale and therefore C Major Am I brilliant or what !! ( well actually my Bass teacher Laurence Canty enlightened me (a great teacher and Bloke. Check out his book Bass Guitar The Complete Guide Cheers Paul F

Received Demeter peddle form shambo.Quick delivery,well packged and good communication. Thanks mate

Once again TBA 2 are here tonight live from 9 pm but please I implore you,don't all rush at once......and whatever you do don't tell anyone that we play a mixture of blues rock and soul with panache and style or that we've worked individually with some amazing musicians or any of that stuff. Instead,I suggest staying in,possibly ordering a take away or maybe watch a bit of TV or something humorous on you tube. .- The Blues Associates https://www.facebook.com/TheBluesAssociates?ref=hl The Jolly Sailor https://www.facebook.com/jollysailor.Farnham

Hello mate Just came across this thread. Not sure I fully understand what your saying but being a theory lover I thought I'd respond.If you are referring to the mode of the Phrygian Major,then if you treat that scale ,chord or arrpegio as a dominant or V chord it will Identify where your one chord is eg .........E7b9 ( altered dominant or Phrygian Major mode ) comes from and resolves to Amin and invariably Amin is the relative minor of C Major. Hope this helps if not then please let me know......

Nice one,band sounded tight singer was good too......
