Thank you also, Mike H. This is a wild one- when I search "Flute Salad", that is not the song. Also, it seems Oliver Nelson has written a song with the same name! I'll continue to search!

Thank you for the suggestion, Michael! Turns out, a friend of mine (that just got back to me) purchased a foreign pressing of the album in question just last week! The composer is listed as Bill Potts.

Since many of the members of this message board are composers themselves, hopefully you can point me in the right direction. I am trying to find the name(s) of the composer of the song "Flute Cocktail", which was recorded by guitarists John Pisano and Billy Bean. Multiple searches have tur...

Hi Leigh- thanks for the recommendation. I don't play the double bass, but I'd be interested to see their presentation and production. Also, I remember seeing David Allen Moore on campus when I was a student at USC. He was a great player back then; he must be a monster now!

Gentlemen, thanks so much for your feedback. MIDI Life Crisis, I now agree that I should have included played examples; not only to improve the flow, but it would have been clearer in spots. I was also guilty of trying to provide too much information to "prove" my points. As in music, you ...

Greetings! I’ve just posted a video to my YouTube channel titled “Learning the Guitar in the 21st Century”. After years of teaching, I’ve developed some opinions concerning how the guitar should be taught, especially if the student wants to eventually play in a band or ensemble. If you’re a guitaris...

Unashamedly ignoring the rules of traditional Bebop again, I attempt to improvise over the changes to "Just Friends" at 300 to the quarter note. Thanks in advance for listening!

Thank you, Rick, for listening as well as for your feedback! As much as I love the traditional bop guitar sound of a nice arch top through a clean amp, the sustain provided by the distortion is quite fun to employ in that setting. As you know, there is the old debate about which is more difficult- p...

Thank you for the information Terry! I'll give it a test drive this weekend.

Greetings! I'm currently using Native Instruments Komplete 10 and have not updated to 12 as of yet. Since their apps such as FM8 have not had significant updates in a while, I was looking at downloading Komplete Kontrol, which seems to function as their interface for the total collection. Has anyone...

I've just uploaded a new video to my YouTube Channel; It's an installment of my "Bop Overdrive" series. In this episode, I attempt to improvise over the changes to the standard "There Will Never Be Another You" at 240 bpm. DP's "Import Movie" makes it easy for me to syn...

Superb job!
Each of the three selections are quite evocative and capture their respective moods perfectly. Mixes also well done!

I'm currently running Sierra on my Mac Mini with no problems. I'm considering updating to Mojave in the near future. Is it best to install High Sierra first before upgrading to Mojave, or can I go directly to Mojave from Sierra? Some of the posts I've seen recommend upgrading to High Sierra first, b...

Excellent match of the music to the art work. I enjoyed it!
