Yesterday I played in a mainline jazz act at an art gallery. I liked the guy I was playing with, and I had a fun time navigating the chord changes. That style of jazz is like a first person shooter: you fire at each chord as it comes along, and if you miss one there’s always another.
Hahaha, I know what you mean.
You go into that same zone, just watching the aliens getting closer and firing away with the notes. “Here comes a dominant, better mark it with a leading tone.” “Oh this one’s easy, I always get it.” “Fuuuck I got crushed by that section *again*.”
LOL!!! Oh, btw, i just saw one of your photos.. You have a great guitar there. I just almost speechless. Wow!
