No, that’s the guitar.

 

This is the case.

No , The Square Guitar I posted in the other picture didn't have a case to go with it ...

When I went to pay for the Square guitar I had seen the case you mentioned under a pile of old linens and blankets .

I asked the elderly woman who was selling the Square guitar "what was in the old beat up case underneath the pile?"

She told me it "was just a piece of junk guitar she had laying around the house" . Her story was  it  was left there abandoned  from the previous home owners from when she had bought the house and moved in over 50 years ago .

I asked her if it was OK to take a look at what she had in the case . She told me she was tired of moving it around and wanted to be done with it

Then she told me to kick in another 20 bucks and I could have that guitar under the pile  w the case too ...

With out missing a beat I kicked in the extra  Andrew Jackson , said my goodbys  to the elderly woman  , and promptly left w out even bothering to look inside the old beat up Guitar case ....

When I had gotten home this is the guitar  I found inside that old beat up brown guitar case w stickers all over it ...

Oh Yeah ! for $20 bucks extra I think I did pretty good ....

Hi Mesh ,

Yes ! The Soul Scale exercises for  Improvisation  is a very  good  lesson  . 

The info  in  The Soul Scale exercises for  Improvisation  are bite sized  and  easy to remember while practicing away from the computer ....

I spent a good deal of my time practicing the concepts of this video yesterday while I was looking around at some of the other videos he has  up on his u tube .

I did notice throughout the video I heard a little G Benson in there + some really hip country rock type of sounds  in the Guitar playing ... This I heard when it went into the extended octave practice ..

Great stuff , a real  nice  easy way to bump up the chops and have new things to practice and learn on the guitar .

Thanks for posting the videos you have posted so far in this thread  ...I'm into it ..

all the best,

Kenny

I guess 2 Squares equals a rectangle ...

If that's the case , I guess I can learn to like squares myself ...

NICE!  

I made the conscious choice when I was young to spend my money on albums I could play over and over (remember, I'm a logical nerd! 🤓) instead of the brief experience of a concert.  Although probably the correct choice for me at the time, I can definitely look back and regret not being able to see some of the greats on stage...  Oh well!

I may be a few years older than you and I mean no disrespect by  bringing  that up because back in my day all the musicians and friends I had would listen to music together as a group of people sharing the whole experience together . It was very rare someone would listen to music by themselves unless they were trying to copy what was on the record or learn something for a gig . 

It usually went some thing like this . The second someone bought a new record there would be 8 or 9 of us  crowded into a small space listening to the NEW  music together ...

The same thing happened for equipment .  When somebody bought a new guitar, amp or pedal it was the same thing 🥳 8 or 9 grimy sweaty paws looking to coop a feel on the new guitar ...amp or pedal .

I do feel lucky I have seen the musicians I have seen ...I won't drop names yet I will say that Paul Kossoff left a lasting impression on me since back then ...
I can still close my eyes and see and hear him in my minds eye ...man when that guy bent a note and put some vibrato on it he really got me on a core level ...

tone to the bone

in any event I have seen  and heard just about everybody I wanted to see ...

in a lot of cases I met and hung out with many of them too ....the old guard not the new guys ....the new guys are too stuck up lol come and get you some J B ..I'm ready for you are you ready for me ? ..lol

Oh great. Now I can't get the tune out of my head.

Kenny can you play some jazz for us? Pleeeeeeeeez

LOL I keep wishing I can get that tune under my fingers ...truth is I need to put in the time to make that happen ...

FWIW I did sit down and considered making a video of me playing  some  Jazz guitar today while using some of this lesson as a starting off point ...

I had gotten side tracked and dug what I was playing on the guitar  ...so I never even set up the video stuff ...its all good though I need a little time to ferment the chops ...

also I wound up learning and playing everything In the video Mesh posted ....that video has some super great playing concepts ....

I love that fellas u tube channel. I've been trying to learn all this stuff my whole life and then boom it all come in a flash because of his videos ....

Thanks Kenny, very useful indeed!!

I'm so  glad we can have something to work on that helps our guitar playing and music .

One little trick on piano is to  take the 5th note of any chord. Now play a chord in the same key based on that note and superimpose it over the other chord. If playing C, also play G. If playing Bb, also play F. Instant jazz. Works on any chord not just the majors. Add 7ths or 9ths for spice.  I'm sure it works for guitar too if you can get the fingerings.

Yes I have done  that ...the G major triad gives you the 5 th , Major 7th and the 9 th when played over C Major ....your post is on topic

Check out any of his videos. Click the link below. 

Just listening to the material he presents in helpful and good ear training for future reference 

 

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqimxUbWsE26KSpx2_OcmmA

I almost forgot 

PLEASE check out the John Coltrane Pentatonic video!  I've charted  out the scale before long ago  but he gives examples on what it sounds like etc

Yes he is very good teacher plus  he is what I call an excellent online resource . He presents his material in a logical way that features an uncanny ability to take very complicated  sounding  musical examples  and simplify them   ...he has been bookmarked over here ...

BTW I did buy his Coltrane  a few days before I posted some of his material here .....The best under a five  bucks I ever spent .

I'm ok with jazz as long as I don't need to understand it. Some of it seems to have that feeling you get right before a woof. Woozy like take me off the merry go round. Takes an adjustment to really appreciate.

Like this-

 

Did somebody say WOOF ?

Do I have to call the Emoji Police on you all here  😆  😃  😏

 

♥️  

Now what was this thread about..................................................................😬

That all depends on what you are here for .

If you are interested in spicing up your music and playing with the ideas in the video .

You are in the right place .

If you are interested in all the typical Coffee House horseplay and fooling around .

You are also in the right place ...

You get out of it what you put into it .

Ultimately it is within your power of choice to decide ,

There are some very hip sounds here ...great thing is the guitar lends itself to simple triads which can be superimposed over much more complex harmonic structures .

Even thought I have know about this and been doing this for years , this little video here has blown me out of the water with how far he took the concept in such a short time .

For the record I have no affiliation w the author ...I do like his work and I have purchased one of his tutorials for 4 bucks ...best 4 bucks I have spent in a long time ...

I'm posting this because I got a lot out of watching this video and practicing along a few of the sections ...

the main thing here is I hope some one here digs the playing and they nick some of the lesson .

OK !  what is this ?  a  linguistic lesson on different ways  to say becan in multiple languages ?  nice try with the one  cabbage example thrown in at the very end . 

Go ahead, pass go and collect the 200 dollars the game says your entitled to if you have already learned what 's in the video .

It's a process man and some of those rhythmic variations are things I have yet to get under my fingers myself .

If you have adapted those concepts  to your Music and you know how to teach others  that lesson .....count me in ....I'm all ears ...

Kenny,  did you omit the emoji for this post?

I'm not sure what you mean, please explain,

did you mean 😀

or did you mean😒

if you meant 😀, then right back at you😀

if you meant😒, then I guess I'm outta here

because I was trying to imply that just like there are a myriad of ways to play the same notes, there is a myriad of ways to say bacon.

Aw what the hell

I'm outta here anyway

Life is Good

  I'm really into the musical angle of whats in the video ...+ I ran out of money for emoji's...

FWIW - I liked ALL of the samples in that video - even the so-called "boring" ones. 🙂

FWIW

Unbelievable

simply unbelievable.

😁 LOL that's one phrase Jesse will be remembered for  ....

Like you , I actually enjoyed the boring one's also .

Then when he changed the beat underneath his boring one to a hipper beat it exposed how un hip the boring examples truly were ...

I have ran across that in some of my own work ...thinking a hipper beat is gonna make up for a so so half baked melody

Also ,  once I heard where he took it with the  superimposed subdivisions that were based on 3 , 5 , 7 , I was hooked ....

His channel ( which is new to me ) has some of the coolest musical lessons ....

I hope people get something out of him ...I sure did .

Can someone please explain to me what those two channels are on the right with the double red faders? I thought it was my master bus but I am unable to add any plugins to it and cannot figure out what to do with it!

 

in my prior post I explained how when I open an empty project in Cakewalk I will get a master bus added.

When I right click to open a midi file I wont get the master buss ....in the case of the pic you mentioned I had opened up an Art Tatum midi file of a transcription of the song called Caravan , then  I added a piano VST to hear the midi file ( hard left of pic ) 

hence the reason for  the 2 different pics w an explanation tailored specifically to the OP's original question / thread

Other than that , things look that way because I have a Focusrite 2i4 ..... what you see are my sound cards outputs showing up in the console view  ...My card has two stereo sets of outputs . left set is outputs 1 & 2 right set is 3 & 4 ...

Things may look totally different depending on the card someone else is using ...

Ether way regardless , adding a Master Bus or any type of Bus in Cakewalk is super easy ..

I don't consider any of this to be an issue ....

hope this helps clarify things for you ,
