  2. Re:But the games! on Wii Is the New US Console Leader · · Score: 1

    I'm reminded of the 'Game experience may change during online play' disclaimer that a lot of FPS games carry.
    Usually it means 'You will die 5 times a minute for the first 2 months of online play'. ;)

    That sounds too much like McCain (not the fries).

  12. Re:Shouldn't be too hard... on Researchers Create an Automatic Backup Band for Singers · · Score: 1

    That site seems to be more about fencework, but i know which one you meant :)
    I mostly play from realbooks or by transcribing the song if it's not in a realbook .. I often found that there are mistakes in both online resources and realbooks though, so i try to check with a recording or my teacher..

    Playing a nice I-IV-V gospel groove for breakfast is great for starting the day!

  13. Re:Shouldn't be too hard... on Researchers Create an Automatic Backup Band for Singers · · Score: 1
    Okay, here goes, IIRC:

    Time Remembered
    Bm7 | CMaj7(#11) | FMaj7(#11) | Em7
    Am7 Dm7 | Gm7 | EbMaj7(#11)| AbMaj7(#11)
    Am7 | Dm7 | Gm7 | Cm7
    Fm7 | Em7 | Bm7 | %
    Ebm7 | Am7 | Cm7 | F#m7
    Bm7 | Gm7 | EbMaj7 | Dm7
    Cm7 | % ||

    It's a weird tune .. there are plenty of tritone intervals in it, the melody is often a #11 over a Maj7 or a 13th over a m7, but none of them seem to resolve in the way a dominant's tritone would.
    Makes it rather difficult to improvise over if you're used to ii-V-I progressions :)

    I-IV-V in itself can go a long way. Listen to the blues, and hear how much those guys squeezed out of that progression. Complex changes aren't the only way to make music interesting. I understand what you meant...people play three chords and wheedle and warble over it and call it music. But that doesn't mean that the I-IV-V change is bad. It's a white canvas, it's up to you to paint it.

    I think this was in reply to a grandparent, because i said nothing of the sort, I agree though.
  14. Re:Shouldn't be too hard... on Researchers Create an Automatic Backup Band for Singers · · Score: 1

    Thanks for replying!
    The original leadsheet doesn't have a single dominant chord in there, but it's quite possible there are some in the recording you heard, it's a jazz musicians trade to add some :)
    I'm in a bit of a hurry at the moment, but i will post the chords, and a longer reply, later.

  15. Re:Shouldn't be too hard... on Researchers Create an Automatic Backup Band for Singers · · Score: 1

    In fact, show me a song that *doesn't* use some inversion of a V-I turnaround at least once and I'll show you a song that goes nowhere.
    Time Remembered, by Bill Evans .. though I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'some inversion of a V-I turnaround'.
