When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was totally unsuitable for the chart, Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there ..."

banjo, you may want to simplify existing chord progressions ... Just leave out all
the devices that you've learned in this book and restore the progression to its

Young; Peter Paul and Mary; and doze ..."
"There is also quite a bit of repetition, because the music is often used as
background music, a kind of sonic wallpaper that doesn't require the listener's
complete attention. However, the better players in this style deserve more from
the listener, because such musicians as Alex DeGrassi or Pierre Bensusan are
really quite creative. Start by re-tuning your 6th string down from an E to a D (an
octave lower than the open 4th string) ..."

"Sooner or later you will have to get some sort of 5th string capo, so that you can
tune the 5th string higher to play in other keys, or when you use a capo on the
other strings. There are two kinds of 5th string capo. The first kind is an
assortment of clips or “railroad spikes” that are placed under the 5th string in the
higher positions of the neck. They take the pressure off the string as you tune it
higher. The other sort of ca ..."
