Check out Tom's website. All the info on his guitar is there 👍

​@@ModernGuitarHarmony Thanks!!

Thank you Gilbert. Polyrhythms are very fun 😃

I can understand it no problem. This wasn't a lesson as such but part of a discussion re reharm etc. Tim was very generous with his knowledge and his time.

@@ModernGuitarHarmony You mean a video I have to pay for! In any case, if it's not a lesson but a discussion then one assumes those discussing it with him don't need it explaining either. Otherwise he'd be teaching them in which case it's a lesson.

Yes, the proceeds from the Modern Guitar Harmony Patreon page fund the Deep Dives with these artists. Julian Lage or John Scofield will be next 😃 The Deep Dive with Ben Monder is on the patreon page too. Many more to come 👍

@alfredscoggins3206 you need to get to grips with your basic jazz harmony, son.

Thank you!!

Thank you! Enjoy and feel free to spread the word. Happy playing!!

At what time stamp is that Bill?

@@ModernGuitarHarmony nm, i figured it out, i was looking at it incorrectly, I'm following you now, thank you!

Modern counterpoint 😃

Ben is insane in the best possible meaning of the word. What a master and a humble and personable guy. However, it is also insane to post a paid lesson with this level of video and audio quality, especially in 2024. I've seen VHS home video from the early 90s in better quality than this. The sound is heavily distorted due to low bitrate, which is a shame in a music instruction video and I have a hard time seeing which pixel is Ben and which is his guitar.

Hello Glenn! Thank you so much for your comment. Voice Motion is a much better book than the Van Eps books which is only natural since the books were written so far apart. You are right though we need another lifetime but just spending 5 minutes daily with these books will radically change your playing over time. I'm itching to get back and get stuck into this book but I'm in a new jazz duo with few gigs booked over the summer so it's learning new tunes and older tunes in new keys for me for the moment. Yes, the symmetry idea is a good one. This was also covered on the Ben Monder Zoom call. I'll post a link to the MGH blog review of Voice Motion and will pin it at the top of the comments. Wishing you a wonderful day.

@@ModernGuitarHarmony Hi Mick. Thanks for your reply, I really do appreciate it. It does make sense that Voice Motion is preferable to the Van Eps books. The Harmonic Mechanism books are pretty dated at this point. It's great advice to spend a little time each day with these books. One needs to get the concepts in the ears and under the fingers. I'll have to check the Zoom call with Ben Monder if it's still available. I've always been inspired with his interviews as well as his music. I'll also check out the MGH blog review of Voice Motion... although I already know I'll be ordering a copy! Thanks again for all you do for the guitar community! It's great to hear that you're getting gigs with a new duo. Enjoy your gigs this summer... it's important to keep live music going; especially after the lack of them during the pandemic. Take good care. Wishing you all the best.

Appreciated my friend 👍

Ben is great and a very nice guy too! We will do another Deep Dive with Ben so subscribe to stay in touch. Also check out the interview that we did with Ben on this channel. You'll love it 😄

@@ModernGuitarHarmony I am in the Facebook Group, this time I wasn't able to attend due to elections in my hometown. I will check the other interview, hopefully one day I'll get to meet Ben :') - a truly remarkable, wholesome artist.

Hi Isaac. Full video available on the Modern Guitar Harmony Patreon page.

I agree. Music theory and playing by ear are two sides of the same coin. You'll play better with both imo.

@@ModernGuitarHarmony exactly

You're welcome. Plenty of ways to make it jazzy too. Coming up....stay tuned 😀

You are welcome 😁🎸🎶☀️

What amp do you play it through Tom. I have an Vox AC15C1 but thinking of getting a 65 Princeton Reverb.

​@@ModernGuitarHarmony I burned some serious cash on the Henriksen Bud Six. Tim Lerch recommends it and I can't complain. Portable, v powerful for it's size, and beautiful tube jazz sound. I got a Vintage Reissue '52 and upgraded all the electronics and bridge. Very nice guitar for the price, Didn't want to rip out the guts out of a 2k dollar Fender guitar, but still got that very nice chunky neck. I also got the Quilter 101 Reverb amp head which I had hooked up to a cab with a Celestion Vintage 30 driver. Also very nice sounding and cheaper than the Bud. The amp head is very portable. I basically aimed for the Tim Lerch and got exactly that.

@@TomTabaczynski Very nice. I pulled the trigger on the 65 Princeton Reverb yesterday. Will see how it goes. 🤞

John, there's an article on Tom's website with the details that you are looking for. I do have a question for you though, how many mm wide is the nut on your 8 string guitar?

It is a Strandberg Boden and it is 58mm

Just watched his video....Thank you

Thank you! It's a Lollar CC pick up in the neck.

@@ModernGuitarHarmony Thank you! 🙏

Thank you so much. Appreciated!

Thanks Gilbert. A fun little project. 😁

No worries. HYDRA is a great album alright. Soundscapes for days!!

Thank you!!

It's a great version alright

More to come 😃 Including one at 6pm GMT this evening ✨ Enjoy

Thank you Daniel. Just in case that you don't know the almanacs are available for free, or donation of choice, from the Resources page on the Modern Guitar Harmony website. Lots to dig into 😀🎸🎶🤟

Hello Sonic, yes, musical cycles are nothing new but Modern Guitar Harmony was set up, in part, to promote Mick Goodrick's materials and in particular the three Almanacs (which are now freely available from the MGH website Resources page). Tom's video is all about how to use the Almanacs. Feel free to check them out. You'll get a lot of new ideas and harmony under your fingers for sure.

@@ModernGuitarHarmony Yes I am familiar with the Almanacs, I have even written software that transposes to all keys and string groups with more scales. But these ideas came from Joseph Schillinger not Mick Goodrick. Mick just reformatted them into different formats.

@@ModernGuitarHarmony ua-cam.com/video/sV2sipA0nRk/v-deo.html

I have software that does cycles in all keys drop 2 & drop 3 where you can pick string groups

Do you have email where I can add attachments?

Thanks so much for your kind words! Keep on making your videos my friend 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you! This song is perfect for getting me in that spiritual vibe.

Yes, we are working on bringing all the Goodchord publications back to live. Stay tuned 👍😁

Thanks Gilbert. Love those clusters 😀

A1 on all accounts James. It's great to have Tom as part of the MGH team.

@@ModernGuitarHarmony I was lucky enough to have him come to my house to jam!!! What a magical day that was. He is a very underappreciated master musician.
