Jay, you are not a good fit for our network. I hope you find people that you can get along with somewhere else. Your post below contains a public negative sentiment towards one of our members. That's one too many. Your account has been…

Very well put. As a drummer, I have experienced this magic many times,as I lock in to the music and the players. That is exactly why I love to play,for those moments!
Beth Isbell replied to Beth Isbell's discussion 'A Simple Way to Understand Modes for Guitar' in the group The Lesson Loft
Exactly Doug ... you practice, learn the techniques, so that your hands can know them even when your mind forgets ... and then when you're on stage, you feel it, find it, let go, and create the energy/mood. That feeling rocks for both the…

Peace, Love, Blues- It is a feeling,not a concept. I dont read music, but I know REAL Blues when I hear it!

You Michael, I am a nice person, but there is a limit to my niceness. Jay barged into this post trying to act all superior & then making personal attacks. It's quite obvious that he does not respect me or my playing or my ability to explain…

Beth, I understand why you are upset. And I can appreciate wanting to get this off your chest. But we're just stirring it back up again. I think we all know how to proceed from here.
Thanks,
Michael

Jay, I am not your enemy. Although it's like you're outright encouraging me & everybody else to be your enemy but perhaps too dense to see your own arrogance. And you're arrogance is only in your head.
We we're playing the…

Thanks Jay. I appreciate that.
Michael Schaefer replied to Beth Isbell's discussion 'A Simple Way to Understand Modes for Guitar' in the group The Lesson Loft
I understand that's your perception. And I've known Pat for a long time now. No doubt about it ... his personality style can also be confrontational. So the two of you together ... well ... that's why this thread is so long.
But my…

The right way is your way, Jay. Happy?
Michael Schaefer replied to Beth Isbell's discussion 'A Simple Way to Understand Modes for Guitar' in the group The Lesson Loft
Here's the question I'd like answered. Why is it that often times when you join a discussion, Jay, it becomes a pissing contest? Pat has volunteered his opinion on the matter. What do you think?
I've read many of your posts. And…
Pat Boyack replied to Beth Isbell's discussion 'A Simple Way to Understand Modes for Guitar' in the group The Lesson Loft
I know for a fact you are lying Jay. Sad. I've had your "friends" come up to me at the Caddy and other places and bring it up. I tell them what I think of you (usually a couple of sentences) and we move on, usually to music theory or…
Pat Boyack replied to Beth Isbell's discussion 'A Simple Way to Understand Modes for Guitar' in the group The Lesson Loft
What does it matter if I sing or not? I have been a band leader for years. I've called out keys and started in another plenty of times....and I wasn't drunk. I'm willing to bet nobody can name a song or date I have done it though…
Pat Boyack replied to Beth Isbell's discussion 'A Simple Way to Understand Modes for Guitar' in the group The Lesson Loft
I don't know Jay, why WON'T you jam with me? That is a good question and since I am not YOU I can't answer that. People come up and tell me that you like to go out and bitch about me so I know I'm on your mind.
And I never have…

A Simple Method to Incorporate Chord Tones to Spice Up Your Blues Soloing & Rhythm Playing
"Breaking out of the box ... or boxes - pentatonic scales, minor & major."
An excellent guitarist & teacher once told me that to get inside any song, simply write down each chord & then each note of all the chords in the song ... so write each chord in a vertical column & then all the notes of each chord
horizontally starting with A & moving to G ... for example:
If a song is a I IV V blues with a Quick 4 (IV) and 1 6 2 5 (I vi ii V) turnaround in… Continue

Am Blues by The Dead Prophets played on KRXO 107.7 in OKC last night! :),
This is the song that Matt Kemp played on the Sunday Blues Cruise on KRXO 107.7 here in OKC last night ... "A minor Blues" by The Dead Prophets featuring Big Mike Clark on lead guitar, me on acoustic & Carol Dierking on Drums! ... It's always fun to be driving & all the sudden hear one of your songs on the radio! :),

- OK, Hookman, but I tend to write my own songs, but on occasion I will cover someone else's if I really like the song ...

G.F. " Hookman " Brown said… - Kool, Hon.
Check my myspace blog pages for original lyrics.If you want to cover one go ahead.If you cover one and send me a finished song on CD or mp3, I'll give you 30% ownership of the song and I'll promote both you and the song.
Good Luck,
Hookman
