I'd love to hear your thoughts on my chat with Adam.
And check out my first and most watched interview with John Knowles CGP: ua-cam.com/video/27jxP_TZphQ/v-deo.html
When I heard Adam Levy talk about 6 mathematical possibilities for shell chord inversions, I didn't think about using a six or deleting any of the three notes.
Instead, I thought of his six mathematical possibilities as 1-3-7, 1-7-3, 3-1-7, 3-7-1, 7-1-3 and 7-3-1. Using a 6 instead of a 7 or reducing the chord to a 3-7 or 7-3 double stop just expands those possibilities. All could be available to chordal instruments in a trio or larger combo.
Yeah, I was kind of wrongly saying inversions. I meant staying on the same string grouping and just taking each note up to the next available note on each string: 5-3-7, 7-5-3, R-7-3, 3-R-5.
Adam - thanks so much for this conversation. I enjoyed every moment!
Me too! You were awesome to interview.
I said that a great long video deserves a great long comment. I was interested in the discussion on shell chords. You said “the older I get….” Me too! Several people have talked about them on UA-cam recently. Someone cited a master class by Kurt Rosenwinkel in Gdańsk where he talks about melody with 1-7 or 5-3 on Body and Soul. Good subject for a new video…I learned a lot of new names to follow up. Mainly Canadian! I’m sorry your nails curl. Joe Pass borrowed his wife’s nail varnish, I believe. I use superglue and for repair I use teabag material and superglue on top. Works for me! The talk on tone answered your recent questionnaire. I had never heard of a wet and dry rig. Can you do this with two inputs to an audio interface? I use a Presonus into garage band. It was a good explanation of technique. Getting out of the way, head to fingers, pure thought, and Wes Montgomery. Some funny influences: Jeff Beck, Fred Sokolov, but the Ventures. For me, it was the Shadows, but they were Brits. Overall, it was a great conversation. A bit long but I only fell asleep three times. Congrats.
You’re a funny guy, Andrew! Thanks for checking it out. We talked for 3 hours. I whittled it down to 2.5 hours. But it only felt like an hour to us. Or at least me.
To answer your question on wet/dry. Yes, you can do it with an interface. However, you have to have a parallel mixer for your wet effects: typically reverb and delay. Then you send those wet effects (with none or very little dry signal) to on side, then you dry effects to the other side. Pan one side 100% Left, the other 100% Right.
I wrote a long detailed comment and it seems to have been deleted. Why?
I don’t know. A system glitch? Not me.
I know. I included a link to a video of Kurt Rosenwinkel. UA-cam doesn’t seem to like links in comments. I’ll try to reconstruct it also on Patreon.
@@AndrewSpeedy Yeah, that’s probably why. It doesn’t post comments with links. Looking forward to it.
