    Thank you. This is not just one of my favorite Zappa songs but one of my favorite songs of all time. There is something deeply moving about it. Also seriously well made track - no fooling, this is a real poncho.

    Just not sure how it all works, playing over 50 years and it befuddles me how two chords can generate all that tension and passion, just love playing my balls off and working up a sweat.
    Thanks NYS GREAT tracks.

    I play completely by ear with precious little theory in my battered old head. I decided to come back to this when I was more awake and alert because something kept messing up my playing . . then and only then, did I see it was in 9/4 time!! The Amaj7 chord is held for four beats and the Emaj7 chord for FIVE beats. I'll have another go tomorrow.

    The suggestion to learn some vocabulary is right on target for me... I have tended to avoid learning others riffs so I could just find my own jam but as I have discovered there is little point spending so much valuable time discovering what others have already learned before me... It reminds me of the tale of that Indian man who found a high school level maths book from the west when he was a kid. From that one little snippet of western maths he went on to teach himself advanced calculus. He was such a gifted math magician that he re-invented approx 500 years worth of western/eastern maths... if his talent was recognized earlier and he had had a university education he could've solved the next 500 years of maths problems instead of going over old stuff he didn't know had already been done... he still went on to a great university career but in his latter years.
    Einstein did all his greatest works as a 25 yr old man...not the white haired elderly professor of fame. Learn while you can from the best that you can... Don't re-invent the wheel...ride the bike.

      I think the best thing about a track like this one is that it forces you to do things you would have never thought of, as opposed to playing with a 12 bar blues track. Keep it up and continue to explore new things!

    Great jam tracks! Can you provide a key to the notation for both the triangle symbol and the small p symbol used with notes in the scale? Thanks.

    • @nowyoushred
      @nowyoushred  Рік тому

      There’s a quick rundown of all those in the description of all of my latest videos. Basically, the triangle means major (as in, from a major scale) the P means perfect, as in Perfect 4th or Perfect 5th. Google “interval system in music”
