Hi Everyone,

Today's Target members only lesson is a new Fly On The Wall.

I never know where Ed’s lessons will take us and in this lesson we got on a jazz tangent when he brought up Dave Brubeck’s classic Take Five. We talked a bit about jazz in general and then went into some of the specifics regarding the chord progression and accompaniment styles, specifically related to playing in 5/4 time.

Enjoy!

I am a bit confused by watching this fly and my ear could'nt tell so here is my stupid question ''what was the tuning''??? was it it back to eadgbe???or was it an other?

As for the tuning.... I missed something there too.....
At the beginning of the lesson I think they were in another dropped tuning.... not sure.Then tuned up to Standard tuning from what I could hear.

Ed and Neil ....Thanks for sharing.

At the beginning of the lesson I think they were in another dropped tuning before this discussion.

Then tuned up to Standard tuning from what I could hear.

Neil retuned and then finger a standard Dm7 at the 5th fret.... from what I could see.

Ed and Neil ....Thanks for sharing.

Maybe nothing wrong with your ear.....

I've got cauliflower ears!!

cauliflower I must remember that ,,It would be a nice scrabble word. :laugh: :laugh: B)

Aaah, really love this song too!! 5/4 is so cool!! B)

Haha, oh my gosh, my absolute favorite 5/4 song 'Everything's alright', it immediately came to my mind when seeing this lesson, and you actually get to that one at the very end, haha, how cool!

As a kid I tried to drum along with that song, I actually pulled it off, but I had nó idea why the rhythm was 'different'/'funny' :dry: :silly: haha , but still very much fun to play and added to my overall rhythmic feel (is that correct english?! :dry:)! :cheer:

Thanks for the lesson, sometimes I get into a 'Jazz-mode', I should get back to it, it's really cool music to play!

cheers
